If they're 21.

Or maybe the cheap shot VanDeVelde delivered near the end of a 6-2 beatdown? Just finish the game, lick your wounds, and get set for tomorrow night.

Been there many times and seen many other venues. I've seen Yost Arena at volume level 11 when playing Ferris State, Munn Ice Arena quite loud for UMass, and Mariucci seems to always have a pretty loud crowd. I'm just surprised that a quality opponent like Maine seemed to net crickets chirping as opposed to fans.

Who are you kidding, 01grad? My money is on you hitting Mettler's before AND after the game.

Are Wisconsin and Minnesota the only teams that fans get jacked up over?

I expected more out of the fans given the high rankings of the Sioux and the Black Bears. Most of the arena was a morgue well before the back-to-back smackdowns began.

The Black Bears are who we thought they were...and that's why we took the damn field! Denny...huh?

Hmnnnnnnn...maybe it was Sherry Kelsh and not Clerk.

I'll take you up on two of those, NDSU grad. Killdeer - Shannon Sivak, Sheldon Sivak, Brant Yantzer, Jan Hovden. Mott - Sherry Clark (not sure on the last name - graduated in 1988). I just remember her showing up to English 101 class proudly wearing her "89" letterman jacket, compliments of her boyfriend. About two weeks after classes started, the afore-mentioned letterman jacket was suddenly back in Mott with her now ex-boyfriend.

Get on the bag PCM! Get on the Bag!

One of the classic moments from the Maine/North Dakota rivalry...

This from the guy who thinks Green Bay is one of the original eight wonders of the world? Just kiddin', DaveK. You know I'm teasin'.

No doubt a classic bit, but my personal favorite is the SNL cork soaker skit with Janet Jackson. SNL Cork Soakers

Park River? Home of Kerry Schmitz?

Just pay your speeding ticket and move on!

Same thing with Belfield and South Heart. Some of the older townspeople don't want to combine all the sports programs. A fairly recent proposal was shot down a few years ago. I'm guessing a few years of 70-25 thumpings at the hand of Dickinson Trinity (why are they Class B again?) in boys basketball will hopefully change some minds. The kids all want to co-op...they feel its the only way to be somewhat competitive.

Just please tell me Dickinson Trinity isn't playing this Saturday and make my day. What a joke that a school in the neighborhood of 400 students co-ops with another school (New England) to continue the domination of schools like Belfield, Killdeer, etc.

Here's another goodie...this is in the Theodore Roosevelt National Park (north unit) about 5-10 miles south of Watford City... Highway 85 north of Grassy Butte and south of Watford City Highway 85 was re-done sometime in the late '70's or early to mid 80's...instead of the road maintaining a relatively manageable incline and going to the left once you crossed the bridge heading north, it uses to snake around the mountainside before heading over the hill. I took many a trip that route in the winter...talk about white-knuckling...

I forgot one! Belfield and South Heart were HUGE rivals in basketball back in the day, but they did the co-op venture for football. On the way to the 1987 Class B playoff game is Des Lacs to face the Des Lacs-Burlington Lakers, two of the three South Heart players on the team started spouting off on the bus about how Belfield wouldn't be going anywhere without those three players. Words were exchanged, and before long, the coaches were breaking up a rumble akin to FIU/Miami minus the player swinging a crutch. ESPN Classic...Belfield-South Heart goes on to defeat the Lakers before getting throttled by Watford City the following weekend.

Seemed? I am pretty sure it's a city ordinance in Killdeer so residents are REQUIRED to own a 3/4 ton pickup (purchased from Dean Bender Chevrolet...he's got the sharpest pencil in town) with installed gun rack.

Satans...best high school nickname EVER!

Minnesota? I think the original poster wanted to know what recruits were being looked at by D1-A teams.

I fixed my post, UND92,96. I meant to imply that when I was a kid, my dad told me the story. My first implication was that the game was in the 50's...I knew it was sometime after I was born, which was 1970. I was guessing 1973 or 1974. Thanks for the link...great article. It's unfortunate hearing about those great small town basketball teams (and schools, for that matter), that have fallen by the wayside. In about 1985 or 1986 I caught the Alexander Comets/Watford City Wolves basketball game on radio. Alexander's gym was rockin', but the team blew a late 4th quarter lead and lost in OT. The last time I drove by Alexander High's gym...it wasn't a gym anymore. The school has long since closed and now it's a museum. Kids bus to Watford City for school now. Reeder High School...great story...administrators announced the school closing at the end of the school year (1989 I think) and the boys basketball team proceeds to go on a run that takes them to the state high school tournament for the first time ever. They wound up finishing 0-3 at the tournament but I'm sure it was a thrill just winning the regional and advancing to the big show. Golva...I went to basketball camp with players from Golva. Their 3rd & 4th, 5th& 6th, and 7th & 8th grade teams often had only 6 or 7 players. The Golva Tigers merged with Beach and eventually, Golva was closed and the school and gym torn down. I stopped in Glen Ullin this summer just for the fun of it (I used to date someone from there when I was in high school) and found out that the mighty Rattlers aren't even the Rattlers anymore. Hebron isn't the Brickmakers either. They're the Glen Ullin-Hebron Bearcats. My favorite was the Woodworth-Pettibone-Robinson Wolfpack. Robinson High School graduated five students in 1988...and two of those were foreign exchange students! It's a shame that more of these schools and towns keep getting smaller and smaller but nothing ever stays the same.
