Couldn't agree more. What player for Dickinson State, Minot State, or even Williston State College wouldn't mind a road trip to Grand Forks? It would certainly generate more fan interest than Presentation College.

Yea...cuz that Valpo game really showed what kind of caliber team UND has this season...

Now that would be awesome!

Gee, thanks for the help there, Goon.

I'm about 99% sure it was the 5-0 comeback in the 1990-1991 season...pretty certain it wasn't a 6-0 comeback in the 1991-1992 season.

No lie, I remember clearly.

I have been to Marquette several times in my life - none prior to about 1997 or 1998.

Paging Shawn-O...

OK, so the subject of ties in hockey came up on this site last week (I forget which thread) and I mentioned that the greatest game I have ever seen was a tie. I decided to create a new thread because I can't recall the original thread and it was off-topic anyways... I attended UND from 1988-1992, thusly the game occurred during that time-frame. It came during the down-slide of the Gino era, so I narrowed it down to having been played sometime in 1990-1992. Here's what my memory recalls: UND, after having been destroyed by Northern Michigan on a Friday night, played before a prety dull crowd expecting nothing short of a Wildcat whooping. Sure enough, NMU sends most of the 4,000-4,500 fans scrambling for the exits after they pot a 5th goal en route to a 5-0 lead (again, this is from memory) at around the 15:00 mark of the third period. The student section (what was left of them) stood up and started chanting "LET'S GO SIOUX!" quite loudly. It didn't take long for the Sioux to score, 5-1 at what I recall being the 12:00 mark of the 3rd period. I remember commenting to my buddy "another goal before 10:00 and this could get interesting." Sure enough, 5-2 Wildcats a few minutes later. The place started going nuts when the 3rd and 4th goals went into the net and the Sioux scored sometime around the 2:00 mark to tie it up at 5-5. I remember fans scrambling BACK into the building to witness the comeback. Each team was stoned on a breakaway in OT...the game ended in a 5-5 tie. Northern Michigan skated around like it had lost the NCAA championship game...the Sioux, after shaking hands with the Wildcats, skated over to the student section and gave us a traditional stick circle wave with their sticks (not a true circle but a definite show of 'hey, students, thanks for not giving up on us.' Like I said, to this day, the greatest game I ever saw. Now, here's where it gets interesting and where I need help. The UND media guide, for the 1990-1991 season, says that UND lost AT NMU 6-0 on Friday October 19, 1990, and tied 5-5 on Saturday, October 20, 1990. It lists two HOME losses to NMU, December 16, 1990, by the score of 5-3, and Saturday, December 17, 1990, by the score of 7-4. Now...either my memory is skewed (doubtful) or the UND media guide has the locations of each series reversed. I'm wondering if anyone remembers that particular series or game against NMU in the early 1990's. For what it's worth, UND is listed as playing to a 6-6 tie at NMU on Saturday, January 11, 1992, but same rule applies as that game is also listed as having been played in Marquette. I know what I saw and I know it was Northern Michigan University...

They should have won that game. Kris effing Kolanos...

That's not what I recall at all on this site. It was only a few years after the 2000 season that some posters here were saying that Dean had lost his tournament mo-jo, especially after the 2003-04 season ended in disappointment (even though it was a 30-8-3 season).

I said that same thing about Valpo being on the football schedule and was absolutely skewered for it...

Kinda reminds me of Gremlins 2 (which was on TV this weekend)...the 2nd batch was just as good or better than the first! I'm glad you like them, remington_270. I don't always wear winter hats, but when I do, I prefer my SiouxSports.com one! Thanks again to NorthDakotaHockey for lugging 11 hats to GF and to YaneA and Oxbow6 for helping distribute the non-moniker hats.

Too late...I was at the UMD vs UM series a few weeks ago acting like a total fool...then I left behind the "Goon" hat I had been wearing the whole game. Whoops.

I'm not sure what is more stunning...Nebraska letting Solich go or the fact that you were able to handle four years of living in that state!

Says the guy who cut and pasted LETS GO SIOUX 150 times last night...

Oh, I'm sorry, I thought this was the SiouxSports.com fleece hat thread...Goon and crazy Uncle Si have turned this into Dead Duck Dynasty.

Signed, sealed, and delivered to lawkota...

"Traditional circle of sticks"? As the whippersnappers of today say, W...T...F?

...and hats have been delivered to neonpelican...

Call me a skeptic, but my hunch tells me that you would be the first poster commenting about what BC has done and what UND has not done should York notch another title next spring.

That would be Towson, not Townson.

And if a 1-25 season is viewed as a 'success' in Grand Forks as long as that 1 win is against NDSU...well, frankly, I'm at a loss for words.

I'm hardly an SU 'fan,' but it's hilarious seeing folks here put down an NDSU win over Notre Dame while defending UND losses to Pacific and Bowling Green, two universities that most Sioux alums couldn't even find on a map.

That sucky over-rated ACC do-nothing Notre Dame basketball just polished off the Indiana Hoosiers. Hmnnn...
