Let's go Preds!

Only two days left to vote in Round 2. There are a couple really close battles, so let's get this thing figured out!

Nice, tough win this morning. Anyone else question the "Americans" in the crowd at Ufa?

Funny story... I was at Lambeau with my uncle, father, and my uncle's nephew (Michael) who has down syndrome for the 2002 Packers/Falcons playoff game where Vick went off. Anyways, it's the second quarter or so and we notice Michael drinking a can of beer. The only beer consumed by any of us to that point were the plastic cup tappers. We were like, "Michael, where the heck did you get that beer?!" He smiles and opens up his jacket where he has like 8 cans of beer stashed. We couldn't stop laughing since they check for stuff like that at the gates and he had never mentioned to us he had a bunch of beer.

Go Sioux! Go Pack Go! Go Sam Houston State!

I would put money on Wisco myself with UND as an outside chance. The biggest perk to inviting UND is the ticket sales, which is why I'd rule out Michigan.

Just got done watching the game on my DVR...totally awesome. Great team effort. I think I can see Canada smoldering from here.

Round Two of voting is now live! CLICK HERE TO VOTE IN ROUND 2! Thanks to all who voted in the first round. In one week we will have the "Elite 8" of Sioux jerseys decided. Here's how the first round broke down: 1950-54 White - 29% 1980-82 Green - 71% 1954-58 White - 16% 2002-06 Black - 84% 1958-60 White - 85% 1950-57 Green - 15% 2009-11 White - 46% 2006-07 Black - 54% Who'd you vote for in round one?

If you haven't voted yet, you only have a couple days get your first round votes in.

I doubt you'll see anyone other than a senior wear the C, and I don't believe Rocco will stick around that long. He's stated before about his anxiousness to get to the pros. Maybe that will change, but being that he's a redshirt Freshman this year, I don't think he's going to spend 5 years on campus. If we get a third full season out of him, I'll be happy.

For those who got their road Parise Wild sweaters for Christmas, this may not be the news you were hoping for. Wild Mulling New Road Sweater

Seth Jones sure looks like the real deal. Big, smart kid, plays defense first, but you can tell his offensive capabilities.

There you go using that "logic" of yours again...

No Sioux stuff for me...the wife did manage to pick out a generic "North Dakota" t-shirt. (Hope she saved the receipt! )

Sounds like Gersich has a chance to be a Zach Parise type player. Long ways to go until then, but definitely a great get for UND, especially when it's stealing one from the Gophers.

Took me a second, but I see what you did there!

Here's today's jersey auction breakdown in The Aftermath blog post. http://sioux-jersey.com/#/blog/4552031202/THE-AFTERMATH-December-2012-UND-Jersey-Auctions/4417765

They were quite high. It's kind of a good thing and a bad thing. Good knowing that my current game-worn collection value has gone up considerably, but bad because it's getting very difficult to add to the collection. Thanks for all the input on that '59 throwback jersey. If anyone else can recall anything, I'd appreciate it as well.

I can't seem to recall what specific game(s) this jersey was worn. Does anyone remember?

I don't know French, but towards the end of the video they were discussing whether or not Danny is a "problem player", thanks to a little Google Translate. I'm guessing at least a portion of the video discussed the previous incidents Kristo was involved in.

I agree with this. The process won't take as long as some expect. Of course there will still be a number of people wearing Sioux stuff, but for many, it's about having the latest and greatest item, which means making the transition. Also, the freshmen this year and going forward will have no ties to the Sioux name other than the residual factor of it lingering around. In other news, who knew that Minnesota football uses a Sioux indian phrase on their football jerseys?! "U of M Rugby captain John Adams coined the phrase in 1884., had heard Sioux boys yell "ski-yoo!" when they won canoe races on Lake Pepin. He took that as the Sioux word for victory, or exultation. and a co-captain added the "mah" to make it rhyme with "rah" and created "Ski-U-Mah!"" (Wikipedia) Tell me that isn't hostile or abusive?!

Updated the blog with my opinions on authentic NoDak jerseys and a couple other tidbits. http://sioux-jersey.com/#/blog/4552031202/Authentic-NoDak-Jerseys-Updates-More/4377951

Don't worry, authentics are coming. Just not quite yet. I'll have a blog post in the near future about it.

I do understand the Terry Casey story, but I was just having a little fun knowing all the Vikings fans around here. Aaron Rodgers day is an official "holiday" today in the state of Wisconsin. http://sioux-jersey.com/#/retired-numbers/4557443050
