Just like the loss to Michigan at Yost in 1998 sits with me. Or just like the loss to Harvard in 1989 sits with Gopher fans or the loss to Boston University in 1997 sits with Michigan fans. BC's had their share too.

I had to think back...it was probably 6-7 years ago when I went up there...yea, the place was 1/2 full but the fans in attendance were all very nice and had nothing but great things to say about Sioux fans. Now contrast that with a trip to Mariucci Arena and the fans there...

I'm pickin' the Gophers!

Did you see ESPN College Gameday last week and the FSU student holding the giant "SCALP 'EM" sign above his head? Unreal.

watchmaker49, I would DEFINITELY recommend a trip to Houghton this year for the series against Michigan Tech. I was there several years ago and the staff at the box office, arena, and fans are absolutely awesome. The box office folks hooked me up with tickets right behind the Sioux bench and we had a total blast. We stayed at the same hotel as the players and I ran into the entire Michigan Tech team at Domino's after the Saturday night game. Great times...you won't get another chance to go there again!

I for one love watching non-conference games of other teams that I normally don't get to see.

Looks like gout toe too!

LOL...well let's be reasonable...if you took the Yankees, Rays, Orioles, Tigers, White Sox, Rangers, White Sox and Angels away from the American League right now, you'd be left with a bunch of scrubs too.

Exactly. I just got around to reading the MBL Preview issue of Sports Illustrated. Baltimore Orioles predicted for another 100 loss season. Predictions and pre-season polls are fun to look at after the fact. Wasn't Notre Dame a pre-season Frozen Four pick last season? The only thing more worthless than pre-season polls for teams are pre-season All-Conference or pre-season All-American picks (in any sport).

Well that's dumb...you can't even see the whole pair of sandals because the picture cut off! Did you get them at Kohl's?

I knew it!

Really? I had the exact same issue regarding jerseys from around 2005ish...I thought the NOB on the back of my white jersey was "authentic" but upon further review, it was only close to being what the players wore. Big A HG...PM me or send me a text!

So if we start giving free passes to underage hockey players getting drunk at house parties, can we also excuse the next big bash at the Theta Delta Sigma or Pi Kappa Chi house too (obviously fake fraternity names but you get the idea)? How about the kid in West Hall who gets busted by the RA sneaking a beer into the dorm?

If I had a nickel for every time I heard the word "authentic," I'd be a rich man. I purchased a USA hockey jersey several years ago and the vendor insisted that the NOB was as real as Team USA itself. Imagine my outrage when the jersey arrives and I see individual letters sewn on the back of the jersey..and no nameplate. EPIC FAIL.

I saw that too, but I think "heat-press" and "authentic" are words that should not be used in the same sentence together. Use caution.

Notre Dame in the Big 10? They've already got one worthless Indiana school in the conference...who needs two?

Even better news to brighten my day...I'm just getting over the fact that I bought the black authentic with the WCHA tag on the back two years ago...then move the tag to the much more likeable front of the jersey. Thanks.

I get up to Fargo about once a year...here I was ecstatic to get one for $250. Thanks for bursting my bubble.

...and there's that reason too.

AC/DC's "Let's Get It Up" is a far better song than either of those two.

Now that's an unsubstantiated rumor...

You're kidding, right? Oklahoma City Thunder...dumbest nickname ever.

Scheel's had a panic sale a couple of years ago and I picked up an authentic for $250. I haven't seen them for less than $300 since then after the merchandise deadlines were revised.

I can't believe the number of people who actually think a rhyming nickname is a good idea. The North Dakota Nokota...unbelievable. Why not Michigan Nichigans, Notre Dame Fame or Georgia Peorgia while we're at it?
