Did anyone see Don Baylor break his femur playing catcher at the Angels game when Vladimir Guerrero threw out the first pitch the other day? Good grief! MLB's Joe Theismann moment!

Saw this last night...good heavens. I always like FSU's logo...this new one is just AWFUL.

Stop me if you've heard this one before: Miami (OH) the pre-season favorite to win the NCHC in 2014-2015.

Now THIS is the kind of story I was hoping to read once this thread got rolling...

I'm sure the Hoggsbreath will show the game if I ask them to...

See you at tonight's support group meeting?

...when you post at 5:35 am to talk about some other poster's addiction...

Was out at Joe Sensor's a few years ago for a Sioux game...FSN had just finished showing the Wild game and was now showing a REPLAY of that evening's Gopher game (the Gophers had already lost). Yep, you know where this is going...I knew that the Gophers had scored first and simply waited for it...right on cue, a couple of guys wearing Minnesota jerseys yell out loud and do a fist-bump when the Gophers scored. I could have told them that their team had lost...but figured it was more fun to have them waste their next two hours hoping for a Gopher W.

I whittled my list down a bit...I'm sure there are lots of others... You tell your boss you'll have that report done in a few minutes...as you're actually typing a new post on the board. You're actually a Gopher fan but log in every single day to see what fans of the team you don't care about are saying.

Well let's hear some...

Talk about hijacking a thread...damn...I was curious as to how and when folks became fans...

10. You jumped at the chance to order a SiouxSports.com toque. 9. You can't wait for 1st period intermission so you can check out the game thread - the restroom can wait until the end of the 2nd. 8. You see the same people at the Hogg every year but still call them by their board moniker names and not their real names. 7. You chuckle when you hear the words "The Platinum Fox" even though you never made the trip to Columbus. 6. You read something on the board that infuriates you so you text your SiouxSports.com buddies and tell them to go check that thread out ASAP. 5. You get the text message from your friend in Reason #6 and your text reply back is "yea, already saw that." 4. You PM posters on the board because you think they might be interested in your spring cleaning items. 3. You have a back-up moniker to pass off as your own since the guy sitting next to you at the game is more than happy to let you know what a "moron" your real moniker on the board is without realizing that it's you he's sitting next to. 2. You have someone from the board designated to post any unfortunate announcements on your behalf (already been done - we miss you, THETRIOUXPER). And the number one reason you know you're addicted to SiouxSports.com is... 1. You have the sit-down chat with the kids to let them know that while you think they're still too young for their own Facebook accounts, you're going to let them pick their own SiouxSports.com moniker and sign up.

In the spirit of GPL's "You might be a Sioux fan if...," I thought i would add a more positive thread over here to help kill some time before next Thursday. So let's hear it...the moment that you just KNEW there would never be another team for you...

Then this popped up over there, courtesy of GopherFan85... You might be a Sioux fan if... 77. You are convinved Eric "Goon" Burton and Brad Schlossman are both unbiased and the two best writers about college hockey.

I'm pretty sure these were up before the weekend's regional tournaments were completed. They just picked four teams to show a sample of what items for sale would look like.

Reporting back after a two-day trek over to GPL...not much to report...some good conversations. Some guy named Bucky7 stirring things up...the thread on "You might be a Sioux fan if..." is mildly amusing...some good posters, some not-so-good. Basically, it's SiouxSports.com minus a "Fire Lucia" thread.

Correct. For some reason, I thought UND wore the greens in '98 because Michigan wore their yellows. I was wrong.

A simple youtube search reveals that UND wore the home whites and Michigan its road blues in that game. D'oh. Obviously wrong about a third jersey rule.

Yes. I wasn't being facetious with my post...there were many slight rule changes made after that fiasco in Ann Arbor. I wasn't aware that some of them had been revised or scrapped.

Had North Dakota played Michigan State or Ohio State in '98 at Yost instead of Michigan, I have zero doubt that UND would have steamrolled Michigan a week later in the Frozen Four. The "reward" for being a top seed should not be a regional trip to the lion's den.

Ouch!

So how was the pizza? (this is the part where you say...)..."well, it started off with a tasty flash that got my hopes up, but the finish was disappointing." EDIT: Rocco, if you read this, I'm only kidding. I could try that back-hand shot you scored on in the WI game 100 times and make 1. On a good day.

Whew! For a second there, I thought the golf-train had de-railed to XXX-ville!

To be fair, I never said or insinuated any such comments as those attributed to me by your reply back to my original post.

Why is it that all of the hockey coach supporters are lumped in as "lifetime contract" Kool-Aid drinkers who kneel daily and pray to Dave Hakstol bobbleheads? I just don't get that...
