I saw him at the arena on Saturday night and do give him points for actually wearing that jersey. Right on the button, though...priceless. Someone needs to make some artwork out of that:
Gas and hotel money to Grand Forks: $150
Tickets to Western Regional: $63
Sitting in center-ice seats watching the Sioux play Holy Cross while your team is already back in Minneapolis: Priceless
Apparently I was on the jumbo-tron several times this weekend in addition to being on FSN and ESPN2. I was wearing a white #19 jersey with my name on the back. Was my bald head visible?
I didn't see the Forum picture...got a link?
I'm glad to know I wasn't the only person looking for the music info, lol.
They would have to show highlights from both games to give the illusion of neutrality.
The part I found especially humorous was the "home ice" slap at Duluth and why that was the reason UMD had over 5,000 fans a few years ago at the DECC. Um...isn't Mariucci about a block away from Ridder? Apparently that's not real home ice enough.
Ken Kohler, Gopher fan caught wearing my Sioux jersey at the Final Five last weekend:
"That's a long drive to be making to come back disappointed."
He was talking about me personally. Apparently, the comment should have been directed at Gopher fans making the trip west and then north.
LOL...I saw that guy too and thought the same exact thing! "Someone call 9-1-1...my husband is having a heart attack! When you say Wisconsin, you've said it all."
Speaking of attendance, it doesn't look like Gopher men's hockey fans were rushing home Saturday afternoon so they could get a good night's sleep and head to Mariucci to support the Gopher women's team Sunday afternoon. Check out the last paragraph of this article...

You may have had more advertising on TV in that area than where I live.
I've heard the song plenty of times, but I'm not up-to-date on classical music or the movie Excalibur. Posters are right about getting chills hearing that music paired with video and I appreciate my question being answered.
As reported on www.twincities.com today, the contract ball is in Danny Irmen's court, too. Too bad that my last memory of him in a Gopher jersey just might be me yelling at him "where's the jersey pop now, Danny?" after the Holy Cross game.
Lower deck, two rows up from behind the opposing goalie for two out of the three periods is my new favorite seat. Ask the ESPN camera woman...she'll tell you I liked my seat, too!
