UNDLAW

That's not true. You CAN drink at some NCAA championship events and, in fact, you can drink at MANY NCAA football stadiums and, in fact, and up until recently, you could actually give beer away ("Coors Light" Free Beer Giveaway for touchdowns at the U. of Colorado). Given the fact that this is in "Beer Town South" I was wondering whether they would do the concourse drinking rule (i.e. can drink on the concourse but no alcohol in your seats) or no rules regarding alcohol except the STRICTLY enforced NCAA rule of no alcohol sales AT your seat like you see at most pro sporting events... Does anyone have any specific info either way and not just the "based upon past experience" guesstimate? Here is the NCAA Bylaw that is "supposed" to regulate alcohol sales: "NCAA Bylaw 31.1.14 precludes on-site advertisement, sales or promotion of alcoholic beverages during NCAA championship events. The NCAA has also adopted stringent policies related to media advertising of alcohol and other substances during NCAA championship events. These policies include a complete ban on advertising harmful substances, restricted advertising for legal products that may be abused and no restrictions on nonharmful products. In this regard, advertising of alcoholic beverages that exceed six percent alcohol by volume is expressly prohibited. Advertising malt beverages, beer and wine products that do not exceed the specified percentage is permitted. However, such advertisements may not compose more than 14 percent of the space in the NCAA publication or not more than 60 seconds per hour of any telecast or broadcast or more than one hundred twenty (120) seconds total in any telecast or broadcast. Further, the NCAA encourages content that focuses on legal use of alcohol." What I hear is that the on-site definition has a bigger hole in it than the walls in the Univeristy of Minnesota dressing room in Denver after all the fists and heads that were pounded through it after the... well... you know. Anywhooo... guess there are lots of ways around the bylaw and just wondering if we would be able to experience any in St. Louis.

I thought the NCAA "no drink" rule only applied to NCAA Championships held or hosted by NCAA institutions (i.e. like the West Regional at The Ralph) last year and that non-hosted NCAA Championships allowed alcohol sales at games (i.e. Tostitos Fiesta Bowl for College Football and the like). Please tell me they will serve drinks in the game as I am too hold to get kicked out of a college game for smuggling in booze.

I have the green light from the wife to go to St. Louis for the Frozen Four (would be driving from Minneapolis to St. Louis next Wednesday or Thursday) but my normal hockey pals here in the cities either just had a baby or can't get off of work. In any event, I would probably drive alone and just meet up with folks in St.L at this point in time. Anyone else here on ss.com mulling last minute plans to travel to St.L from MSP? Those with existing hotel plans close to the FF would be a plus! Open ears (i.e. actually eyes I guess...).

How can this continue? It will kill me!!!

Here is comes... I predict a Sioux goal now!!!

Toews from Duncan and Oshie... that is the way it HAS to be!!!!! Clap-Clap DOT! Clap-Clap DOT! Clap-Clap DOT!

My new word of the week is "provincial." I keep thinking I am in Canada?

Sioux kill the PP and go on one themselves!!!!!!!!1

Another glove flash by Lemmy. Take that Freezee... even Kyle Oshie was smiling on that one!

Bina!!!! F-N-A!!!!

Are you serious? I can't tell w/o the emoticons.

I am 99% sure that Big Bob picked us as the favorite during the Tournament Selection Show two years ago and I think he said it was a "toss up" between BC and UND last year.

Canada is part of France... so it is Canadien... just check the menu at McDonald's while in Canada.

Canadien...

Or profile...

Tied for 1st... or 16th... and depends on how you look at it!!!! I am now in a perfect position. If Minnesota wins, I win on my pick. If Air Force wins, I lose on my pick but the Gophers lost. Win-win!

I picked Mich State too so maybe you can be 4 of 4 and slip to 30th place...

? UND and UofMtc. Why would you pick anyone other than UND!!!!

I'm perfect so far and in 30th place... NICE!!! How did that happen... it isn't even alphabetical!!! I smell conspiracy...

Just checked my what-if tourney picks and realized (that although under the influence when I made the picks) that I was a genius in picking Mass and Maine and Notre Dame (and Mich State so far). How you doin? (in the voice of Joey from Friends).

You find out where he live and I will bring the rat poison for doing this to us!!! Just kidding... but seriously.

I second that emotion!!! That was a classic.

Well, to tell you how important it is... I am supposed to be going to my wife's best friend's wedding (and she is also the wedding photographer) and I told her that I am going to watch the game either live and/or or on tape delay instead... ... she went to bed early with the kids without talking to me, so... hopefully this demonstrates how important Sioux hockey and watching this game live on TV really is. Therefore, I am offering a reward of free drinking for the night on me (as in I will pay for it all night and not as in body shots off of me all night) for the first person who posts definitive alternative confirmation that the Sioux game is being shown live here somewhere at some location in the twin cities. The race is on and beer/wine/liquor is on me (see above) and on the line!!!!

BUT WILL IT BE ON AT SENSER'S OR THE LIKE SO US SIOUX FANS HERE IN MINNEAPOLIS/ST. PAUL CAN WATCH IT TOO???? That... IS... the question.
