Big A HG

I think they'll fit snugger slightly, but they are the same materials as the other replicas. Nothing like the authentics.

I've never heard of autograph signing, but if you hang out near the visitor bench about an hour before the game, he might be around or ask a coach or something, I'm sure they will hook you up if you are nice about it.

A swift jersey is nothing like the regular black jerseys except the obvious...they are both black. The swift jersey is a new style of jersey by Nike first introduced to college hockey last year (is used in international play as well). They are form fitting (a snug fit, not a loose fit), the materials are way different, and the striping on the jersey is different as well. Fonts and number styles are different as well for names/numbers. The reason they are popular is because the Sioux used it as an alternate away jersey last year and it was used in some of the most important games down the stretch, including the entire post-season (Frozen Four appearance). The black jersey you have won't be used ever again (according to sources). Hope this helps

I was there a few days ago and they didn't have them...they haven't had the authentics for a long time as far as I can remember. Game worns are nice....definitely WAAAAAAAY different than the replicas. The K1 version at Scheel's is way closer to my game-worn compared to the Nike one. The only thing that makes the Nike one closer is the swoosh on it...big deal. Also the K1 version is 40 bux cheaper.

Ralph dying is a significant occurance. A once-in-a-dynasty happening. I don't see them wearing blacks just for fun this year, or ever.

K1 version is better IMO.

Nice little one timer in front of the net five-hole from a pass behind the net.

Umm, no you won't. They only wear Home Whites.

KOZEK FOR HOBEY

Ooooh, now you make sense...

Nice joke Diggler...everyone knows Brett Favre isn't human! GO PACK GO!

His legs looked tired early and often, but you could tell the kid had skill. It will be nice to see him in action when he gets his legs under him a bit more and he can get some cohesion with a line. Things are looking nice for him.

I hate to play devil's advocate here, but...if the Radke story is true, imagine the rage around here if a Gopher player did it to a Sioux fan. There'd be HELL to pay around here if you're a Gophers fan. And anyone that disagrees with that statement is so biased and unjournalistic that posting on these boards is irrelevent.

Finally a weekend where hundreds of my hard-earned dollars aren't being spent!

good call.

Some of the responses like the one above mine are all very true and show that UND Hockey is a better level and more successful team than NDSU Football. However, it doesn't prove that UND Hockey is more popular than NDSU Football in the state of North Dakota. Hell, if people LOOOOOOVED volleyball, Mayville State volleyball could be the most popular team in North Dakota if that's what people thought.

If Kozek can grind, and is mainly used as a grinder on this level, then to me he's a grinder. We all know he has the ability to be put on a top two line because of his intensity and scoring ability, but he's good at hitting people and making people work. So, if he's used as a grinder, I dont' think it's wrong to label him a grinder. Also, I'm just that good to notice it after game 1.

In Fargo NDSU Fooseball is bigger In GF UND Hockey is bigger In North Dakota as a whole NDSU Football is bigger On a national level, by far, UND hockey is bigger. It makes sense yet it doesn't make sense.

Hmmmm.....when I say that Frattin didn't click with Osh and Duncs I get ripped a new a-hole...but now that Hak sees the same thing no one mentions anything. Anyways...I hope it's Kozek, but I think it will be Trupp on that first line. The reason I say Trupp is because he isn't the same grinder that Kozek is (although he has potential...his size limits him tho), so I'd say put the scorer with the other scorers and their speed. I'd like to see a line of Vande centering Kozek and Frattin. That'd be the Special Ops line because they'd be some nasty snipers.

Correct...after seeing him there I was more excited to see him play than see Stafford...although Stafford was a real treat.

I just got word that Michigan Tech will be ready...they already have a secret weapon on the way: Secret Weapon

Everyone calls people names they don't want to be called. He's Lammy to me.

If the Sioux play like they did against Michigan State, they will get one for sure, but will struggle for the other game. If they played like they did this weekend, they will be lucky to split. Lammy gives up his first goals this weekend.

Not sure if this was posted anywhere...but... At the Northeastern game, there were a number of Junior Bruins players and one of the US NDTP teams. The US team was together in the upper level and didn't get to talk to any of them. I saw about 5 Jr. Bruins players throughout. Hopefully they got the right impressions.

He's currently taking private lessons from lammy.... ....KIDDING of course. I love Karl, met him a few times, one of the nicest people I've met. I can't wish him anything but the best.
