  1. I think it's safe to assume that it's not a game-worn Cindy Crosby jersey, just any ol' jersey that he signed. They would get $8,000-$10,000 for it from big time collectors ($10-$15k if it wasn't signed) if it was game-worn, which you'd never fetch at the Betty. You might as well burn a Canadian flag though if you burn a Cindy Crosby jersey...
  2. How come the games aren't showing up on FCS when I go through my guide? (I have digital cable, not satellite, and receive all 3 FCS channels)
  3. SiouxForce is right, REA won't release it. Someone brought this up recently and contacted REA about it, and they said the reason they don't is because it's part of the live experience that comes with buying a ticket. Some people have tried recording it in the past few years, but the quality is almost always poor.
  4. I guess you didn't read the Forum Rules before posting, because our forums have academic requirements that you wouldn't be able to meet if you couldn't at least get into SCSU.
  5. It makes as much sense as the poop he spews out around here.
  6. Human beings exhale approximately 3 pounds of CO2 daily. Why don't you lower your carbon footprint by putting a bag over your head and recycling your co2 waste?
  7. The forums went from "Fire Hak", "this is the worst Sioux team ever", and "this team plays nothing like Sioux teams of old" to "we're going to Detroit this year!"? It's funny how things work out if you're patient.
  8. I'm guessing because he went to the UM, has had decent success while sparking some life into the program, and for celebrating goals more excitedly than one would expect would be my guess. I don't think he's a punk...but he scares me because he's not too shabby of a player.
  9. "Fire Hak"
  10. Boy, that sounded too close for comfort..
  11. Been awhile since I've been able to partake in a game day thread...can't wait...Go Sioux!
  12. Vande Velde Trupp
  13. Because they aren't home games.
  14. He and his family made that decision to stay closer to home. I'm glad the decision was made, though.
  15. Quit dragging what out? A decision on Chay and if he'll play or not? Hmmm...maybe the team has to "drag it out" because if he is deemed capable of playing, even if it's only for the last game of the year, he won't get his medical hardship and his career would be over.
  16. PLEASE... I know it is your jersey and you can throw it in a fire if you really want to, but please DO NOT get your game-worn jersey signed. It's one of the worst things you can do to a game-worn jersey. What WOULD be a good idea, if possible, is to get a picture of the player wearing the jersey in action signed, thus not wrecking your game-worn piece.
  17. Well, seeing as there is no Mt. Everest with a "North Face" anywhere around GF, I decided to post this: Whistling Straits is a golf course, but the logo is sweet.
  18. Depends on what you get. There are Reebok Premier jerseys (consumer-friendly) and Reebok Edge (authentic...same the players wear). Some fakes ARE relatively well made for a very cheap price. Every counterfeit item aims for this, otherwise they'd be just as expensive. But, there are costs tied with making the name brand stuff versus the counterfeit products. There is research to pay for to design the jerseys, licensing, a company full of employees to pay for, marketing, advertising, etc. All the counterfeits do is have to pay for the materials and insanely cheap sweat shop labor and then steal everything else that relates to higher costs. The Premier jersey is likely what you are referring to being "cheaply made". And no, counterfeits won't change how these products are priced. Counterfeit products have been around for awhile now, and nothing has changed in any "genre" of consumer products...whether it's jerseys, shoes, purses, sunglasses, etc. The only thing that has had SOME impact related to how much we pay for the real deal is DVD's/CD's (but not much). But anyways, the Premier jerseys are not cheap, but much less expensive than the authentic's, coming in at 1/3 of the price, which is fair in my opinion. Like I said, there are reasons these items are priced the way they are. T-shirts run $20-25 (or more) now for anything name brand. There is obviously much more to a jersey (even the less expensive Premier) than a t-shirt...but how much more? They sell t-shirts with player names and numbers, so you have to price the jerseys accordingly thereafter in relation to those prices and the costs of manufacturing the products themselves. Save your money, spend a little bit more, and get the real thing. In my opinion, not only are the counterfeiters extremely selfish for selling these items wrongly and illegally, but the people who buy from them are equally selfish.
  19. So, would that have turned the "DOT Line" into the "Soo Line" ?
  20. This topic should really be locked and deleted by Jim or another mod. We might as well have a topic about drug usage/purchasing in the forums as well. I really hope no one purchases these from this thread alone.
  21. They are not legit, plain and simple. There are no ifs, ands, or buts about it. All the products on the site are illegal counterfeits.
  22. It's a totally different situation. There are no legal issues with what many others have sold on here as "custom" Sioux jerseys. You can look at what the University of North Dakota deems their own property, and none of it infringes upon it. I once created a thread about having some custom vintage t-shirts made with some logos that didn't infringe upon any of UND's rights, but they immediately expressed their concerns about the thread with Jim and were keeping a close eye on what happened. Obviously they would do the same for the others selling the custom jerseys, if they were, in fact, "counterfeit". Also, they aren't stitching Reebok/Nike/CCM logos on them illegally, nor are the jerseys available through any other manufacturer, which is a factor as well.
  23. The one thing that makes me slightly "ok" with buying the green Toews Hawks jersey is the fact that Reebok never actually made that jersey so it'd be impossible to get without getting a counterfeit. However, it's still an illegal fake, and yes, I also have heard that counterfeit products can, and will, support terrorist groups. I heard the same thing when I was in my shoe collection days (Air Jordans, etc..). Just PLEASE DO NOT buy those things. Even if it was fine to buy fakes, those fonts and whatnot are so off it's borderline hilarious.
  24. We could use his mouth as well... Instead, we could just wire up a cattle prod into Fienhage's stick with C-Batteries lining the entire stick, and everytime Marvin gets near someone give him a jolt.
  25. My idea from the beginning (other than keeping Sioux) is to sell the rights to our name. North Dakota Coca-Cola's North Dakota Dodge Rams North Dakota Waste Managements North Dakota Jim Beams Just think, instead of us paying to keep a nickname, we'd get paid to wear one.
