This makes me sad, Gabe.

@St Patrick - you up for Hudson?

Stop it! I remember that game like it was yesterday.

https://undalumni.org/watchparty?erid=13305459&trid=3d2577a3-df5a-446c-8c53-5335e4a4926c Listings are update as new sites are added. Obviously you can come to BWW before 5 pm puck-drop.

I already confirmed that we will have at least one good sized TV and audio. March Madness will obviously bring a good sized crowd, but it helps having Wisconsin knocked out of the tournament. I am hoping to give BWW a somewhat-accurate head count by about 2 pm Thursday.

I know the Alumni Association does a nice job with promoting the watch parties. I booked one last night for this Thursday at Buffalo Wild Wings in Hudson, WI, for those of you from the MSP east suburbs! Game time is 5 pm - I’ll be there likely around an hour earlier. Hope to have some fans join me!

BTW. someone very sneakily paid for my breakfast and that of my boys. Our waitress would not divulge who it was, so whoever you are, thank you. That was very nice of you.

Talk to @NorthDakotaHockey about the 1960 squad that should have gone back to back! He was there in person along with his grandkids to witness the final heartbreaking loss of that season!

1991-1992. Pre-season #1 only to see Jason Herter and Russ Romaniuk sign pro contracts before the start of the season and leave school for the NHL. Longest season ever, eh, @Shawn-O?

Silly newb. Everyone knows who Derrick McKey is! I’m just shocked that he left the NBA to become a hockey goalie!

The Stillwater Ponies are holding on line 1…Noah Cates would have looked good in green and white.

Gonna be a little bold here and post the mock-ups of how these will look. PM me if you’re interested in one.

UMD fan in front of me last night is no doubt shocked right now that her Bulldogs are not a #1 seed. Oh, she’s likely disappointed as well that 4 other NCHC teams are in the tournament along with Duluth as she was certain it was just going to be her boys and Denver in there.

Agree 100%. The 3-4 page thread about him I posted in March or April of 2019 speaks volumes about the person and fan he was. When I’m gone, hopefully @Wilbur’s post telling folks here the news will get at least 1 positive reply.

Front and back side view - each block is about 8” x 8” and 4” from front to back. I have a local friend in western WI who puts these together. If you’re interested in one for yourself or as a gift for someone, you know where to find me.

Sunday morning mimosa?

Hi, I’m NCAA football “title powerhouse” Notre Dame… …or would you rather be Georgia or Alabama in 2022?

Hoggsbreath 2022!

Nice crowd today at the Hogg - I believe I counted 25-30 in the group. So nice to see some long-time attendees again after 3 years - @fightingsioux4life, @Goon, @ItalianSioux, @Siouxman, @Wilbur, @Ice Arena Man - probably missing a few others and I apologize if I am. Honored to have the family of our late friend @sprig here today as well - wife Janelle, son Drew, and 3 grandkids. Janelle asked me to pass along her personal thanks in this thread to the SiouxSports.com folks who collectively chipped in some funds to get the grandkids Fighting Sioux glass block piggy banks (with a little memorial to sprig on the back). These were originally going to be presented to them in 2020, but, yea, we all know what happened then. Two years later, the grandkids finally have their gifts. I would like to thank the kind folks as well who chipped in a few bucks each for these - you know who you are. Good food and good stories - nice to see some old friends and make some new ones today. Thank you to all of those who came out - we’ll see you next year!

Welp, the boys woke up to seeing no mimosas on the hotel nightstand and had to take a cold shower, so it is what it is… On to the NCAA’s!

It’s still gonna happen - I’m not expecting a huge crowd this year, but I have been surprised before! 11:30 am Saturday!

Yep. It’s evidently such a bad memory that 1998 has been scrubbed from my brain completely.

Agree 100%. In decent years, we had 25 or so people attend. In 2013, upwards of 75 people showed up. C’mon out and meet some of the folks you know only as nicknames on this message board. There will also be a special presentation to the family of @sprig that will be worth the trip in itself. Plus, @Goon and @Wilbur will no doubt ask me to retell the “Sioux Storytime” classic, “How MafiaMan Cost Us the 1998 NCAA Championship.” The event will conclude with a group photo underneath the Hoggsbreath sign, which will be personally customized for us by the owners, Tom and Jossie DuRay.
