  1. Just looked it up...Sioux 3-0 winners over Holy Cross on March 26, 2004.
  2. 1983 Black Devils...Teddy Uecker and Bill Butterfield...great team.
  3. It wasn't 2005...that was the Beanpot Regional in Boston that led to the Columbus Frozen Four.
  4. The Sacred Heart reference is a Hoggsbreath club insider joke (thanks to Wilbur's dad) and UND played HC in a regional a couple years before 2006. Tony tossed his cookies in the net during the game. Good times.
  5. Poorly worded question...new co-op name is Hettinger-Scranton Night Hawks. RIP Black Devils (greatest ND high school nickname in ND this side of Starkweather Storm Kings) and Scranton Miners. Fire Hakstol.
  6. The new name of the co-op between Scranton and Hettinger High Schools...
  7. Part of the tour at my dad's ship reunion in 2001 included a ceremony aboard the USS Kidd, which is permanently harbored in Baton Rouge, LA. The tour group included plenty of duffers from the Korea and Vietnam era. I believe it was the Epperson's former captain and several other crew members who climbed over a chain link "DO NOT ENTER" area to try to get to the ship's bridge. A young tour guide promptly comes over and tells them "I'm sorry, you can't go up there." A Navy vet from Baton Rouge who was serving as the unofficial director of the group heard the commotion, walks over to the tour guide and calmly says "son, you let these men go where ever they want on this boat." The kid promptly nodded his head. I couldn't help but chuckle. At the 2007 reunion's closing dinner (Louisville, KY), the brother of Private Harold Epperson, the ship's namesake, served as keynote speaker. Harold died while diving on a grenade to save some of his fellow soldiers. The brother was 2 or 3 years old when Private Epperson died in 1944 - he never knew him. When the ship was sent to Seattle for de-commissioning and eventual sale to Pakistan, the men of the ship voted to use their enlisted men's fund (normally used for blowing off steam, so to speak, when in port) to fly Harold's mother and sister to Seattle so they could say good-bye to the Epperson. Just a couple more stories I thought I would throw into this thread...Go Navy. Beat Army. .
  8. We played the Grovers in the first game of the tournament up in Minot too. Oak Grove...eliminated. Hanson, Valpo, bust.
  9. 1986...stupid effing Kramer-Maxbass-Newburg Eagles and Kevin Bierman and Paul Demke. Can't remember the kid's name but Watford City had a guy score like 40+ against us in the 2 or 3 OT semi-final match-up. Instant classic. Great game. Where did Glen Ullin finish in 1987? I think they lost their quarterfinal game, didn't they?
  10. LOL...the Jim Jeske years... I guess I didn't realize that Glen Ullin lost the regional championship game two years in a row before going to the tournament in 1987.
  11. Detroit had a 3-2 lead in the series and game 7 at Joe Louis Arena. Sorry, no excuse for not getting it done that year. It could have been worse. See also: Vancouver Canucks, game 7, Boston Bruins, debacle at home, epic fail.
  12. Moderators, these types of positive comments cannot be tolerated in the hockey forum here at SiouxSports.com. I call for a one-week suspension for Siouxforce19.
  13. Actually I think it was 75%. Belfield had been defeated by New England Public FOUR TIMES that season...and two nights before we beat Glen Ullin, we sat and watched the Tigers get absolutely run out of the gym by the Rattlers - they lost by 40. I still remember their center John Plaggemeyer crying as he left the court when Coach Sean Flaherty took the senior out of the game with a couple of minutes left. Funny thing was, not a single player on that BHS squad ever doubted that we weren't going to take down the Rattlers two nights later.
  14. Carringon, right? Glen Ullin may have been way better than the Cardinals that year...but they weren't better than the Belfield Bantams! Hebron Brickmakers...great nickname. Taylor Redbirds, Richardton Rebels, Reeder Rockets, Rhame Pirates, Almont Eagles, Scranton Miners, New England St Mary's Saints, Mott Cardinals, Regent Rangers, Golva Tigers, South Heart Eagles, Belfield Bantams...man, that SW corner of the state has been absolutely decimated by school closings and co-ops, hasn't it?
  15. Ohmygosh...your dad went to Glen Ullin High School? Belfield vs Glen Ullin...Region 8 Championship Game...1986...the greatest game ever in Class B North Dakota boys basketball history!
  16. I still haven't gotten over the 2009 Stanley Cup Finals game 7 loss...forgive my bitterness. However, I'm still amazed at Sidney Crosby's "great leadership" in that game...as he sat out the last 1/2 of the third period because of his leg or thigh injury but somehow was miraculously able to leap over the bench onto the ice when the final horn sounded and skate around holding the Stanley Cup without too much trouble...
  17. Agreed. Evgeni Malkin is the real deal.
  18. I'd take Seneca Wallace over me...Wilbur's probably better than him though. Nice Dairy Barn call, Oxbow6...I ate there a few weeks ago when I was back in my old stomping grounds. I miss the 1980's baseball and football helmet sundaes. Loved those!
  19. Penguins and Capitals...only two teams to not shake hands after the Winter Classic game...just sayin'...
  20. Trapper's Kettle in Belfield > Sickie's Garage in Fargo. Also, Nick Foles > Green Bay back-up QB's.
  21. http://www.dailymail...old-cognac.html Dunno why my link above in #150 doesn't work...I'll try it again. YaneA...how did you pull that rabbit out of your hat?
  22. Whoa whoa whoa...why don't you go post that in a hockey thread somewhere? We are talking about burgers here...
  23. I'm sending in the black ones for customization soon but won't have them done with the current scheme of white numbers outlined in green. I think it was 2009-2010 when they had green numbers outlined in white...AWESOME look.
