UND85

Music teachers in attendance had to be impressed with the correct beat the student section were using to the cheer of "Let's Go Sioux! "

I wonder after this weekend which thread will get the most posts; A) people discussing the games or B)Gopher fans trying to get rid of their WCHA Final 5 tickets?

I'm not surprised by the SCSU attendance. I live in St. Cloud and even last year when they finished 2nd in the League the attendance was nothing to write home about. While in Duluth a few weeks ago a fan from there said , "North Dakota hockey is as big as Nebraska football. On game day everybody is tuned in or at the game." I totally agree... while driving here from St.Cloud yesterday saw lots of Sioux fans on I-94 and I-29 heading to the Ralph! The Bam Bam sticks given out were a nice touch. Loud!

Thanks for the correcting my spelling.

Just got back from Duluth. A fun time and just had to share a few things. DUMBEST COMMENT MADE BY THE UMD FAN SITTING BEHIND ME: "Oshie... I thought he left the same year Parise did? Maybe that's his younger brother playing today." FAVORITE COMMENT MADE BY A UMD FAN IN THE SKYWAY AFTER TODAY'S GAME. "At least we scored a goal." My wife and I stayed at the Radison and so did the team. Rode down in the elevator with Trupp this morning and I was surprised to hear that it's a broken bone. Didn't see a cast on it. Spoke with Lammy this morning as he was at the computer in the lobby checking uscho for scores. He was happy with the CC results of last night too. Unpacking the bags until Friday... then heading up to GF. Go Sioux! Oh and by the way...I didn't make any of this up!

WISCONSIN 2 SCSU 1 FINAL

Funny story but true. Another good one was trying to explain why we had to pull the goalie against UNH and they scored an empty netter. I heard her say first 4 letter word! That time I did share with her what we can shout out in public and what we shouldn't. A good omen coming up.... Saturday is our 100th day of marriage and when the Sioux win it will be Hak's 100th win.

Is there a link to what our 2008 schedule looks like so far? Dates and opponents? Thanks

I know my wife and I will be yelling Sioux at the end of the anthem. Funny story about that. My wife and I met 2 years ago when I was working in China. We were recently married and she just moved her from Beijing China. She LOVES Sioux hockey ( has been to 6 games already and watched at least that many on tv). The other day she was in the other room studying and learning more about the U.S. She was singing the National Anthem and when she got to the end of it she said, "SIOUX !" She thinks that's how it ends. I didn't have the heart to tell her otherwise

Next time. Thanks again for the tip on that place. We have a similar set up here in the St.Cloud area with two bars showing all of the sioux home games. The locals are just amazed at the following we have.

That would be correct. Good food, good people and great hockey. Already have our condo reservations for next Feb. in AZ already. If the Sioux are on the tube, I'll be there again. Does anyone know if the Alumni Dept. will have any special gathers for Sioux fans in Duluth before or after the games?

I was talking with a guy from Duluth and he said that attendance has been so/so and not any sellouts so far. I was at the Mankato game and also the St.Clown ones and was happy with the following that we give our team. My wife and I are heading up Saturday for the games at UMD and are looking forward to seeing a lot of Sioux fans. On a side note, we were in Arizona for our honeymoon the week we played Denver and watched the game at a bar in Mesa along with about 40 Sioux fans!

Not sure if this fits here for not but want to know what is the rule on tie breakers to gain home ice advantage. Right now I'm looking SCSCU and Mankato being tied at the end of the year. Thanks for the help.

We're staying at the Holiday Inn. Looking forward to seeing the Sioux in person after having to watch the last couple of weekends on tv or staying glued to this site and watching the game thread.

My "refresh the page" button is getting a workout. I feel like I'm in the final minutes of an ebay purchase. I truly appreciate those that are able to give us the updates. Thanks again!

Yes! Yes! Stand up and Cheer! Keep the information coming!

Thanks.....not the news I was hoping to hear.

Just got in the door, what is the score?

I like it, I like it. I'll be there and that would be great to have a situation like that.

UND 28 41 CC 28 40 Denver 28 33 UW 28 28 UMD 28 27 Mankato 28 27 MTech 28 24 SCSU 28 23 UMN 28 19 AA 28 18 We win when I did it and to top it off, only UMD from the state of hockey will play at the Xcel Energy Center in March along with of course UND,CC,Denver,UW

Thanks again for the work that went into running this contest and congratulations to those moving on. I had fun and it made each week of hockey a little more meaningful. Looking forward now to seeing the Sioux in person when they play UMD and also SCSU. Also got my WCHA Final 5 tickets yesterday so I'm set. Go Sioux!

Did Bozak do any scoring for DU ?

Thanks for the update. Is there anyway North Dakota could ever be put in the Madison Region? Everytime I see the bracketology they are never in that one. Thanks.
