Looked to be a fairly young guy...perhaps a former international student at UND? Interesting. Thanks for the link.

Not all that sad to see it go. Average to below average food and poor service every time I went there. At least now I can cross it off my list mediocre of restaurants 'Forkers are in love with. I'm sure I hit it at a bad time...but here's to hoping that if someone does revive it, they do it right.

The first few years, Hak and the teams had very poor showings at the Final Five. (Didn't we go winless for a couple years there???) Well they turned it around and we won last year from the play-in game. It never ceases to amaze me how people lose their minds when the team loses a game. I hope they tell those players not to read anything on here or else they would all turn in their jerseys and go pro. Holding the team to a high standard is great, but you have to realize that there have been a lot of close calls and bad bounces to cost us potential NCs in the past 7 seasons. We're not going to be undefeated champions...there are too many good teams and players out there these days. A loss like this is a great way for the team to remember they have to bring their best every night.

Friday Knight Saturday - Gregoire

The show is being produced by the UND Television Center, which means it will be an outstanding program in terms of quality. I got to see a few of the stories they've been working on and it should be an interesting show; both for fans of Sioux hockey and anyone else who happens to tune in. It will be a great thing for gaining positive exposure for the hockey program and UND.

THAT was the greatest crowd I've ever heard at the Ralph! When it's so loud I can't hear a snare drum five feet from me, that's LOUD. The best thing was, when the Gophers scored, the crowd stayed in it.

You wanna know what really grinds my gears? Students who are charging ridiculous prices. If you have student tickets, they have to have an ID used with them...so the guys scalping these tickets are selling to FELLOW STUDENTS at these ridiculous rates. The Ralph was kind enough to let us buy 4 tickets per ID so that if you and some friends wanted to sit together, you could. However, many have taken advantage of this and bought 4 tickets planning on selling off two or even all of them. Personally, I know a handful of students who want to go to the games but cannot because of these people who bought up the student tickets and are now holding them hostage for outrageous amounts. Hopefully they can't sell them and end up getting rid of them before the game at face value, or else we will have a lot of empty seats this weekend.

No pics of McWilliam getting that guy in the crowd with his water bottle? Great shots!

I think a lot of people need to learn that the game doesn't end when we're down by two goals...or one for that matter. JUST BECAUSE WE'RE LOSING DOESN'T MEAN WE'VE LOST! Fans who leave early deserve to be booed. When you buy a Sioux hockey ticket, you're not buying a ticket to watch a game - you're buying the right to be recognized as one of "the greatest hockey fans on the planet".

Sorry if I've missed something...but why isn't Dell listed in the lineup?

fyi - Lamoureux twins and Team USA are on NHL Network right now against Canada.

I believe my intramural football team played against him and several other ineligible football players last week. (and lost 66-7)

From 2005-2007 we outscored Winona 186-10 over four games.

Impressive for a team that has averaged 3,000 fans over three home games. No doubt they will bring their "A" game. The wins are impressive statistically, minus the fact that they've played a bunch of nobodies. (though I'm sure Northern Iowa fans said the same things about us in 2006) IF we can get some people to show up and pack the house, I think that crowd noise could be a factor. Additionally, through 6 games they have 13 fumbles. (though only four lost) I expect that the team has been hearing about that stat this week and will look to cause some turnovers. I mean if a team averages over two fumbles a game against lackluster opponents, we can certainly hope for that trend to continue this Saturday if not increase.

BEST. VIDEO. EVER. One can only hope we have a video half as amazing as this.

From the student side, all of the 2,400-some student tickets have been claimed. Students can still buy tickets for $5.

Another thing to think about - we're kinda USF's "Texas Tech" this year. I just went to their athletics page and there was a splash page devoted just to the game between us with a number to call for tickets...and it's an away game for them.

They have been painting...though it's a rather drab, forest green. Maybe it's just a primer...

I was recently home in Raleigh, North Carolina visiting my family when an ad in the sports section caught my eye. The University of North Carolina is having an alumni game to kick off their 100th season of basketball. Given their storied history, there are a lot of noteworthy former players that will be playing in the game. This got me thinking - given the success of our program and how many quality hockey players have come from here, why not have an alumni game? It would be a great way to kick off the year and/or fill the off season. All of the proceeds could go to a worthy charity, much like what UNC is doing.
