time for mory's three minutes into the 3rd period trivia.
whoever answers this first gets something as long as someone else ponies up a sweet reward.
what is the sioux's record this year when leading after two periods?
-
3-1 Sioux? Prediction is that next goal wins....hope it's the Sioux
ummm, i may have been drinking... but if cc scores the next goal... they would still be down one, which means it would still be 3-2, which would mean the next goal wouldn't win.
-
anyone listening to hennessy on the radio broadcast? how are things sounding?
boring... couple chances here and there, but nothing overly exciting.
-
so i go make another drink and they score... seems like i need to drink this one a lot quicker and make another one so they score again.
-
someone do something that involves UND scoring....

Trivia question:
If two players drop the gloves and punch each other, is it:
A. 5 min major for fighting for each of them.
B. Nothing
C. Double minor for roughing for one player, minor for one player for roughing, PP.
a, dropping the gloves is a no-no, even if you don't throw a punch.

my math for the game was wrong tonight... i thought i started at 6 and not 8:30. so i started drinking at 5:30... needless to say i've been hanging out with the cap'n a bit so far.

GF needs a 10x10 block area of rental/student housing. people who buy the houses know what type of area they are getting. put a park in the center, much like university park, because students like to spend time outside. i'd imagine it will need some police patrol, but at least that way the cops know a general area, rather than how it's spread out now. some restaurants could build on the fringe to attack students and it'd be like a small village on the outskirts of grand forks. as long as the houses are average to upscale, i think the "right" type of students would move in.

I would be more then willing to pay over 200 bucks for a student season ticket, we get it for a steal right now at 75, this would weed out all the students that just show up because its 6 bucks and something to do, and bring in all the true student fans. A true fan would work his butt off all summer to pay for the season ticket
Right now you can pay for it by collecting coins off the street all summer.Perhaps, charge more for lower bowl and less for upper bowl? That way you get more die hards down low and the people looking to find a post-game party up top. Main problem is that for a lot of students money is an issue. I know I probably wouldn't be able to throw down $200 for tickets, but for some students, including those non-die hards, that may not be an issue.
First come first serve general admission. That gets the die-hards out there. The ralph can keep the bad kids out by de-activating their student id's if they get kicked out. Sure there are students who will just borrow their friend's id, but it will still cut down on some of the bad students at the games.

What a Crock - Just cause we don't act like students - Give me a break
Sit down & watch the Game & chant or Bang a Gong or what ever turns your Crank - Just leave the rest of us real hockey fans alone
Just like the select few students who feel they are entitled to the world... this type of attitude is just as non-productive. it's this attitude that makes the students feel like they're back in 3rd grade being told what to do by their parents and teachers. just because you're old enough to have watched hockey for 50 years doesn't mean that you are any more of a hockey fan the me, who has watched and played some form of hockey for all but the first 3 years of my life.
PCM, I want you to realize something, hopefully this will help. You should take the standing problem and the swearing problem and separate them. to me, standing is a cheering issue, swearing is an appropriateness issue. i know there have been some bad apples who willingly throw f-bombs left and right, but it's not just students. anyone in their right mind knows that students dont have a right to swear. obviously, you can't expect no swearing period, because there are just some people, students and public, who feel the need to swear. it's the organized chants that need to stop. agree with that whole heartedly.
Now, to the standing issue. My first year of college was the last year in the Old Ralph. I "sat" in the same seats for every game, I was there at least four hours before every game standing in line to get those seats. Part of cheering for me, was standing and pounding on the glass. At high school games prior to college, I would stand with all of the other students and cheer. So obviously, those first couple years in the new ralph, it was tough to swallow the "sit down" pill. It's still natural for me to stand up when something exciting starts to happen. It's natural that you cheer louder when you're standing. The number of students who were used to standing in the last years of the old ralph and the first couple years of the new ralph is diminishing... but there are still a lot of people, like myself (i'm out of college, but still make it up for about half of the games) who stand up to cheer or see exciting things.
I don't think i have a "right" to stand, but I think any reasonable person who goes to a hockey game, whether they pay $70 for season tickets or $1,000, should expect people around them to stand and cheer. Not throughout the game, but during exciting times. With three minutes left in a one goal game, I'd like to think most of the arena would be standing and cheering their heads off. That's not the case. If you ask me, that's an appropriate time to stand and cheer, but if you ask the average person in sections 107 and 110, I bet they say it's not. Thats the big difference, is that for some people it's appropriate, for others it's not. Who is to decide what's appropriate? Just because I paid less for my ticket, does that mean I can't stand and cheer for my team? Again, it's not because I'm standing because I have a "right," it's because I'm standing to cheer on my team during a tense part of the game.
Sorry, it got so long, but that's the difference between the swearing and the standing problems and why you can't just lump them together. The occasional f-bomb will slip out, but cheers with swearing shouldn't be tolerated. Standing for the entire game shouldn't be tolerated, but I think the students should have a little lee-way with when they get to stand.

realistically, this is what i think it will end up being.
UND 28 40
UW 28 32
Denver 28 29
Mankato 28 27
MTech 28 27
AA 28 26
UMD 28 25
SCSU 28 25
CC 28 25
UMN 28 24
mind you, this means that the gophers get swept by wisconsin and then neither of those teams gets a point the rest of the season.

I was in attendance at Halenbeck Hall on Saturday night, and I must say that I loved that place!!! The view seemed to be good from most places, the size was about right, and most of all, it just seemed like a classic basketball venue. It kind of reminded me of a cross between frost arena and the old hyslop. The place was far from modern, as the lighting and PA seemed ancient, but all in all I was in love with the place by the time I left.
I've come to the conclusion that us Sioux fans are beyond spoiled. I cannot figure out how we can complain about the Betty. Maybe it's not perfect, but it's not as if we really spent a lot of state and university money to build it (if I remember it was built with REA profits). The arena was designed for practice first, games second, but the sightlines are great and the atmosphere has the potential to be amazing. I for one hope that I have to wait in line for 30 minutes to get in on thursday, as I would love to see a standing room only crowd. We have some of the best facilities in the country for a school of our size, but most people just seem to complain about them. Maybe there are some things we can do to improve the Betty, but I'd rather see some money spent on the track/soccer and baseball facilities first.
Us Sioux fans should be thankful that we have such amazing venues.
I agree/disagree. I agree that US Sioux fans should be thankful for what we have. The betty, despite a few small inconveniences is hand over fist better than most ncc basketball arenas (except maybe mankato's).
St. Cloud's arena was horrible. It could be that I'm spoiled from the Betty, but when I have to stand up, not because of the play, but because my butt hurts from the uncomfortable seats... it's not a good arena. That place could use some major renovations.

If Parise isn't ready, why not play Phil?
If parise isn't ready, i'd hope they'd play phil.

FYI, for those in the Rochester (MN) area. In the past McMurphy's has been able to get some games from Anchorage, so if you are interested you may want to call and ask. I would myself, but I am currently in Fujisawa Japan.
Then you're probably closer to anchorage than the rest of us.
