On another note, anyone heard from siouxguyinstpaul yet? That drive back is gonna be a biotch!

Now all you need is five Gopher fans sitting to your right and someone wearing a t-shirt with ">" on it sitting in between them.

Sweet. I'm looking for a Nike authentic white in 48. If it's cheap enough, I might even be tempted to get the black in 48 as well and score the trifecta. Personalization I'll take care of down here. Thanks!

Speaking of jerseys...can anyone tell me how much a Nike authentic white would go for at REA or Scheel's? Would anyone be willing to purchase one for me en route to the Final Five? I would glady re-pay you at the X this weekend. I decided last night while watching the game that I need a white home version to go with my greenie road uni.

There's no question that UND would be hosting the late game in the regional as opposed to the afternoon game.

Uh...wouldn't that be trophy?

No work, no school, no Senser's on Sunday night, Smoggy?

Yea...thank goodness the Gophers earned the right to play in the Friday night game.

Section 102, row 11, seat 6. My two buddies and I who have attended Final Fives for about 10 years now will be there and Mr Gopher Hockey (pictured below as Team Sweden) himself will be wearing one of my Sioux jerseys for the Friday afternoon game with Wisconsin as I avenge my 2004 Final Five bet (Sioux 6-5 loss to Minnesota) thanks to last year's Sioux win in the third place game. I will thankfully be back in green on Friday afternoon, but you never know what you'll see Thursday night! I gave away a few more of the popular handcuff keychains last night at Senser's...stop in and say 'hi' starting Thursday night and I'll give away some more!

Thanks for joining us dagies...what a great night for hockey, despite all of the snow. I'm giving a shout-out to the Doug Woogster, who was at Joe Senser's working on pronouncing "Spirkov," "Pa-RISE," and "Oshay." Actually, I introduced myself to Doug and had a nice time chatting about the Sioux/Gopher rivalry. He's a pretty cool guy. Onward to the Final Five! Let's pack the X for the Wisconsin game, folks! Big congrats to the Dogs...and I don't mean SCSU Huskies...what a huge win for UMD against Denver.

Roger roger.

Look for me, dagies, I'm flying solo tonite.

The St Cloud/Colorado College game has no bearing for the Sioux. The bottom line is that if UMD pulls off the upset and defeats Denver, UMD and NOT UND will meet the St Cloud/CC winner in the play-in game. The Sioux would then move to the other bracket and play Wisconsin Friday afternoon instead of Minnesota Friday night. If Denver beats UMD tonite, the Sioux would play the St Cloud/CC winner on Thursday night.

I've been to hundreds of games dating back to 1992. This was a case where my mind won out over my heart.

OK, after 1.5 hours of mulling it over, it would appear weather would be too much of a factor for me to make such a trip. Besides, after tonite's results, I'll be watching the Sioux in person anyways on Friday afternoon. Senser's it is...assuming it's game-on.

Someone please talk some sense into me. Siouxguyinstpaul is driving up to Grand Forks to watch this game, leading me to think that our beloved Sioux need all the fan support they can get. I'm seriously pondering making the drive myself. Would anyone else be insane enough to ride along from the Mpls/St Paul area, go to the game, then drive back immediately after the game? You have about 1.5 hours to hop on here and catch a ride.

I just logged onto ticketmaster.com...seats available in section 108 and 109. I'm actually tempted to make the drive myself, as nuts as that seems.

I have some photos of my early 1990's era Sioux road jersey if you would like me to e-mail them to you.

LOL...seriously? Do you have tickets, siouxguyinstpaul?

Multiple posts on this topic...if it's on TV in Bloomington, I will be there!

If they show it...I will come. To Bloomington Senser's, that is.

Assuming the game is on at Senser's, I would love to go.

I talked to her today...she had to work last night and tonite. She'll be at the Final Five though. I'll be there, section 102 row 11. Assuming that the Sioux win tomorrow night, my buddy (wearing Team Sweden below) will be wearing my Sioux jersey at the first Sioux game in the Final Five. How sweet it would be to avenge the 2004 Final Five bet debacle (the Sioux title game loss in OT) and erase this terrible memory of last year's CC/Gopher game...
