I suppose we were all about due to hear about your W-2, weren't we?

Seemed to take Red Berenson and Jack Parker a while too... Hell, I'm surprised some fans weren't asking Dean Blais what the he** took so long back in '97.

Houghton is 6 hours from St Paul - in IDEAL driving conditions. The reason Tech had so many supporters was because a good number of Gopher fans showed up to cheer for them (wearing Tech jerseys) and because it's the first time since the early 1990's that the Huskies were in the title game. I'm guessing that had a few fans wanting to make the trip.

Also available in grey shirt with green printing...

Might have one or two of this version left as well.

Here's a look at a full shirt.

I have several long-sleeve t-shirts left with the above logos on them. If you're interested, drop me a PM. $20 + shipping.

What's the nickname of the 2nd place team again?

I have no problem with it - kids from 7 out of 8 teams can say that they won a game at the state tournament. You know you're playing 3 no matter what.

LOL...you can't poke fun of .6 t-shirts when I still see Holy Cross jerseys being worn around. That 15 minutes was up a LONG time ago.

This is pretty much how I picture what it must be like to control the board here at SiouxSports...

DaveK, this look would be FAR superior to the Vegas Gold that Pittsburgh currently uses...

Right on! At least something was fun this past weekend, right?

The WCHA auto-bid? He means B10, right?

OT loss Thursday, OT loss Friday, tight game on Saturday but another loss as well. Tough luck, New England Tigers, but congratulations on making the state tournament and on an outstanding season. Would love to see Belfield get back to the ahow again...next year will make it 30 years since the last apprarance.

Yawn. The Minnesota Golden Gophers - did they finally get the jersey color pic they wanted for the mural?

Well played Mauer. I'm going to reverse course a bit and 86 the hotel room expense in exchange for you moving out of your house Thursday - late Sunday night. I promise not to trash anything during the fam dam's stay there. However, I would like a $300 stipend for pizza and pop. Oh, and make sure the kids' rooms are cleaned up. I invited a couple of my college buddies along as well so you'll need to head out to Scheels and buy four sleeping bags or, better yet, air mattresses. Don't forget extra blankets too. We'll still need the souvenir stipend and your SUV. I'm sure you can find a rental car somewhere for the duration of my stay. Oh, tell ya what - you can use my car for the weekend as long as it's less than 5 miles a day AND you get the oil changed and tires rotated. Appreciate it. Thanks again for the tickets to the games.

You listed 3 coaches. I said 2 of those would never coach in Grand Forks. Figured you were smart enough to figure out which 2, but I guess not. I was referring to Eades and Bennet, which obviously leaves Berry in the mix.

Right up there with the Zubaz shorts look from a year or two ago...

Absolutely HUGE loss for Penn State.

That's three, not a couple. And "a couple" of those listed won't ever coach in Grand Forks. One has already been discussed ad nauseam here.

I can't take it anymore! What is with these stupid effing prom-tux uniforms and the cummerbund shorts? Louisville...Wisconsin...AWFUL!

I can practically smell the alcohol on your breath just from reading this post.

You are totally right on that! I went to some of those 1990's Civic Center tournaments as well. 1997 was the best one and St Paul was slam-packed for the Sioux-Gopher title game. I don't recall a single restaurant within short walking distance - closest food court was somewhere by the Children's Science Museum - and it closed at 5:00 pm. Without a pro hockey team in town, downtown St Paul would be a food-and-drink desert.
