He's like a 6'2" giant, angry leprechaun that might eat someone....

I haven't read ALL the posts regarding poor behavior at REA, but I'll post my take. I agree with both sides for starters. Students are students. No matter where you go, what the sport is, etc. etc., a rowdy student crowd will always be that way. UND student crowds at hockey games have been this way for years...actually worse before the new REA. It should be no surprise as to what goes on at the game, so those with young ones should take that into account before possibly subjecting their kids to what goes on. People outside of the student section should not be lumped in with them just because they are of similar ages. Those people are stupid and ignorant. You should be respectful in relation to those around you. If everyone around you is rowdy and crazy, fine, be rowdy and crazy. To think you have the right to do anything b/c you paid for a ticket is b-s&!t. I never agree with throwing things on the ice b/c of bad calls and whatnot. That's one thing I never agree with. Throwing things never does anything but make you look like an idiot. However...exceptions can be made in hockey if you throw things like dead animals, because that's part of the game and part of the fun, it isn't something that happens due to a poor call. Kids do see things all over the place, and especially in school that are much more negative than you'd see/hear at a hockey game. In school, there's always a kid that's like "my big brother told me this" and it's something new everyday, and it's never something good. I also went to private school and it's no different than anywhere else. Point is, you can't blame the students for being students. A college hockey crowd is not church, so remember that before you show up...stupid/vulgar fans aren't something new, they've been around forever in sports. Use these as a tool to maybe teach your kids how NOT to act and do it by setting a good example. Kids look up to their parents, so if they see them kicking someone out, is THAT any better than having them see someone throwing something on the ice? (even though I hate things thrown on the ice out of anger)

Some guy just making a bunch of really cheap/horrible replicas. Sorry you wasted your $11.

Yep, but Puffy will be.

I highly doubt the owner would get rid of it...unless you traded and made his little boy a similar replica to the Zajac...too cute! haha

Both of the K1 replicas are closer to the actual Sioux jerseys than the Nike replicas. You only live once, get an authentic!

Walleyes isn't too bad of a nickname Kinda like Hawkeyes or Buckeyes (buckeye is a tree by the way).

It was incredible to watch him as long as we did. You can tell how sorely he's being missed this year.

Well, I heard that Coke was donating pom poms during the Friday night game...a green AND white pom pom...meaning it prolly won't matter much what everyone wears.

I'm not going to argue whether or not the AFL is successful or not, but it doesn't change the fact that the team was a one year wonder.

They played one season in a league that no one cares about. I think just plain old Northern Pike would be cool...Fighting as an adjective for pike doesn't ring very well.

5 weeks ago the Vikings started their powerhouse winning ways over San Diego. They've gone 4-1 in this span with only one road bump. That road bump was more like hitting a wall at 65 mph...that was the Green Bay Packers who thumped them 34-0. What does this mean? Vikes are better than they were before, and playing very well, but they still are very very very far from being a great NFC team. They haven't beaten anyone of significance except average to below-average teams....big whoop.

Coaches don't like to leak a lot of info, so what he said might not mean much.

You can KINDA count our WCHA home playoff series as a sweep since we beat them Friday and Saturday to sweep them.

I'm hoping to be there...depends on what time I want to start camping out at the ralph.

How bout something related to trains. Those are definitely previlent in Grand Forks and the area. Purdue Boilermakers have a pretty sweet name/logo with their school....maybe we could come up with something unique and interesting from the realm of trains. Also, with using the name Jets, we could just make it "Fighter Jets." I think it would be a good fit for our school, plus be unique to most of the NCAA.

At least Minnesota's backup didn't.....aah nevermind.

Marquette really isn't built on much of a hill though.

Good call...thanks

Let's go Missouri!!!

Sioux Xtra is a pile of s&!t. EDIT: Sioux Xtra is a pile of S H I T

Kermit is back, let's see if he can help change our fortunes. IT AIN'T EASY BEING GREEN!

I find it so much harder to watch and critique when watching on tv, so I'll make this comment. I thought LaPoint and Finley have been two of our best defensive defensemen this year. Chorney has been somewhere in the middle. They didn't stand out in a bad way tonight when watching, but like I said, it's harder to critique when sitting in the living room. We just can't score consistently. We should never get shut out...even on an off night. Split up Duncs and Osh to see what happens.

Switch Duncan and Kozek, then move the Duncan line up to 2nd.

North Dakota Norse Army (saw this from a picture) North Dakota Norse Warriors North Dakota Norsemen I think the Norse term fits the area very well.
