OK, you had me scared for a minute. After the Gophers have gotten their a**es handed to them, Assuming the Gophers have been eliminated before the title game, you can probably get a ticket from Dave or Kenny real cheap, so just send me a text when you return!

Northeastern 2007-08: 16-18-3 Northeastern 2006-07: 13-18-5 Northeastern 2005-06: 3-24-7 Northeastern 2004-05: 15-18-5 Northeastern 2003-04: 11-16-7 Northeastern 2002-03: 10-21-3 Yea, gopherz, I'm sure you predicted the 23-9-4 record of the Huskies this year. I'm guessing that the 2005-06 season is when your UM athletic director would have been licking his chops thinking "hey...I'm thinking Mariucci Classic for this team!".

Historically speaking, they're patsies, gopherz. I'm assuming you know that, though, because that's why they were slated to play in the Mariucci "Classic". You don't exactly get invited to play into that tournament if you're a noteworthy opponent.

I was being kind in my post. When he said he wouldn't be at the Final Five or the Hoggsbreath brunch, my original response was going to be this: WTF? Oh, what the heck, now it IS what I was originally going to post.

The apocalypse is upon us! NorthDakotaHockey can't make a) a major tournament event and b) Hoggsbreath brunch! Wow...whatever you're doing that weekend, I hope you're being paid big bucks for it!

Hmnnnn...maybe daylight savings time is responsible for the PRI somehow having Minnesota in the NCAA tournament field of 16 despite a 7-9-2 record since January 1st with wins against Michigan Tech, Alaska-Anchorage, Brown, and Northeastern? UMD and a St Cloud sweep are quality wins, I'll spot you that, but still...

2.4 miles away from my place. I won't be going Bloomington to Little Canada back to Bloomington then back to St Paul this year, though. It's Bloomington to Little Canada to St Paul for the 3rd place Colorado College/St Cloud game.

I used the same guy from the King of Diamonds radio ads who claimed that the, ahem, "club," is only 3 minutes from the Xcel Energy Center. Actually, I timed the drive to downtown St Paul last night from 35E and 36 and it took me 4 minutes. Since breakfast is at 11 am on a Saturday, I'm not expecting too much trouble traffic-wise on the 21st.

With all due respect to fans everywhere, if you're going to brag about a trophy, please spell its name correctly: MacNaughton. It's nice to see that the internet is updated rather quickly these days... MacNaughton Cup History

I live about 2 minutes from the MOA...

Dude...at least spell it right!

Tell him to expand his horizons a little!

Young and old, there are some great stories that arise out of this get-together.

It's a 5 minute drive north on 35E from downtown St Paul to Highway 36 west, first exit after you hop onto 36 west, which is Rice Street, then north on Rice Street about a mile on your right-hand side.

It's posts like these that remind me why NorthDakotaHockey is the Yoda amongst all Fighting Sioux fans. If Hak, Eades, and Jackson are such good chemists, can I ask them to help find me a nice lady? Yea...that'd be great.

You gave away the surprise, Siouxman, but I'll remind Tom and Jossie and get it done. What would you prefer to see, "Welcome Fighting Sioux Hockey Fans" or "Welcome SiouxSports.com Fans"? I will also dig thru my garage and see if I can find some "prizes" to give the fan who travelled the farthest distance for the tournament and for brunch.

I will once again be organizing a Saturday Final Five brunch at the Hoggsbreath for SiouxSports.com fans and friends. We had a GREAT turnout last year and hopefully even more people are interested in sharing some stories and laughs with us this year. You don't have to be a Sioux fan to attend, either. I'll have more details later, but we'll probably be looking at meeting around 11 am. If you're planning on attending on March 21st, please let me know so I can give the management of the Hoggsbreath an idea of how many people will be attending. I'll give them a good guess-timate a few days before the tournament starts. Thanks and GO SIOUX!

BigChief, I had a late night at the office last night and arrived at Senser's at 9:00 pm, just in time for most of the third period. I walked around the place two or three times, but didn't find you. Maybe Sioux fans on the board didn't recognize me in a suit and tie, but I wound up standing by myself watching the rest of the game before leaving. That was OK though...I left with huge grin thanks to a big win! Are you going tonight?

Congratulations Sioux coaches and players! This team has shown great heart this season after a rough start. Now, some of you so-called "fans" on this board need to track down that October Mankato Friday night thread and eat your apocalyptic words. The season is a marathon, not a sprint. It's not done yet.

Just got dogged by a friend who was supposed to join me for tonight's game. HELP! I need a kind Sioux fan to allow me to sit at their table!

Lots of teams do this to thank the home fans for coming out for the game.

Is that when the men come out of hibernation, Sioux-cia?
