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

Happy Aaron Rodgers Day, Siouxsports! 12-12-12

He already plays OHL, so college is already out.

I've been watching a game-worn jersey of his. Might be a good investment. The kid is the real deal. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Game-Worn-Autographed-Connor-McDavid-Jersey-/170953489305?_trksid=p5197.m1992&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D14%26meid%3D4073078046133963485%26pid%3D100015%26prg%3D1006%26rk%3D1%26sd%3D170953489305%26

Caggiula....allllll alone.

Let's go North Dakota Redskins! It even fits with the potato culture of Grand Forks...Potato Bowl, etc.

I have a few embarrassing auto-spell moments myself. That feature is now disabled, thankfully.

I think you're having auto-spell issues there bud, ha.

It's a little early for PWR, but interestingly the 3 points didn't do much to help us in the rankings, but Denver did drop a fair amount.

Watch your language. By the way, I found the perfect YouTube video to describe your precious Bud Light Lime, but I don't dare to post it on here. It might offend some.

For clarity, I am not a Vikings fan. But, I tend to look at my favorite team and all other teams through non-biased glasses. There have been a lot of excuses for Ponder, but most are now seeing that he isn't the answer. First it was he need more games to get a feel for the NFL. Then it's not having good enough receivers. Then it's something else. Look at Luck in Indy. You're probably thinking that you can't compare Luck to Ponder...Luck came out of college with much more fanfare and promise than Ponder. But, Ponder was still the 12th overall pick of the 1st round. Luck's only notable receiver is the 150 year old Reggie Wayne. However, Luck still is still getting the ball downfield....WITHOUT the league's best running back. Also, Luck is only in his first year, whereas Ponder is in his second, that should be a huge leg up. You have to allow for mistakes with young QB's. You want them to try and see what plays they can make and which ones they can't. Not many will realize that Luck had 3 INT's, but that he had 4 TD's and won the game. Those INT's are part of the learning curve of a good young QB. Ponder isn't taking any chances downfield whatsoever, which means he shouldn't be throwing any INT's, yet he still threw 2 yesterday. If you don't have the guts to throw it down the field, but you're still turning the ball over, you're in trouble. You don't need great WR's to be a capable NFL QB. QB's make the WR's look good more often than not.

There's a little Jones (brother of Matt and Zach) and a little LaPoint. I'm not sure how old they are or how seriously they are into hockey, but knowing both the two older Jones brothers and the two older LaPoint brothers, chances are they are playing and may turn into something in the future.

If you missed the auctions today, or wanted to read a bit about them, here's "The Aftermath" blog post for some late-night reading: http://sioux-jersey.com/#/blog/4552031202/THE-AFTERMATH-November-2012-UND-Jersey-Auctions/4242985

I sent you a PM zqglmtv

I have 4 gamers and 1 game-issued Sioux jerseys, and all of them I paid a fraction of what these were going for to get 'em.

No kidding. I almost pulled the trigger, but then I thought maybe the first few were going to go slow and I had my eye on the Malone. I wasn't going to buy more than one jersey and figured I'd save my opportunity. Kickin' myself.
