How unfortunate, since Joe Senser's is one of the very few places in the metropolitan area of Minneapolis/St Paul that you can see a live Gopher hockey game on TV. What an outrage! In retaliation, I think Gopher fans should lobby more schools to play "home" games at the Xcel Energy Center due to the obvious bias against the home team that exists here!

No, I have one, since Time Warner doesn't carry CSTV. Good chance I'll be at Senser's with the rest of the gang-green.

Is Bloomington's best sports bar showing the Fighting Sioux this weekend?

NorthDakotaHockey scrounging for a free ticket? What a tightwad! I just found out today I have about a week to live and my dream of seeing the Sioux play one more time will die...just like me. I guess I'm just a bit too late to get these tickets (sniff, sniff). Goodbye cruel world.

Heck yea, I've been planning on doing that...hopefully soon!

Where ya been, stranger? Nice to see you back on the board.

Is it? Please, please, oh please...

GK, Your level of bigotry and hatred towards anything non-Indian really doesn't stun me anymore. Are you seriously blaming white people because a Mexican is putting up the Indian Association's tipi? I bet I can count the number of half Italian UND athletes on one hand, too, with digits left over. You're upset because a "foreigner" is teaching the Lakota language? Talk about racist. That "foreigner" is probably an American citizen. Of course, I'm sure you also refer to him or her as the "Asian Cracker" or something like that. Open your eyes, GK. America is the great melting pot. And, stunningly enough, you're a part of it.

You missed a good show on Saturday night when we finally convinced the HOT HOT HOT bartender to get up on stage.

Maybe you were there on Sunday night for Old Timer's Day, AZSIOUX!

Why not the UND Prairie Knights? Apparently that is "non-hostile," "non-abusive," and a real source of pride for the Indian community.

Sorry, I am playing in the USSSA Fall State softball tournament this weekend, otherwise I'd be in for this gig in a heartbeat. I'd probably even find a way to stop in Columbus and re-visit the now infamous Platinum Fox.

I resent that statement. Governor Pawlenty signed into law legislation making us the People's Democratice Republic of Minnesota just last week. You hafta love the NCAA, don't you? We don't hear a peep about The Ohio State University and the Maurice Clarett situation anymore. Minnesota doesn't even have a banner recognizing their basketball Final Four team from a few years ago thanks to the scandal involving their coach and players having homework being completed for them. Florida State and Miami have a competition going as to who can recruit the most convicted felons for their programs. The University of Colorado has its hands full with a coach and football players who can't quite control themselves around attractive women. Until he was canned recently, Bob Huggins graduated what, like 1 player in the past 16 years from Cincinnati? But we brush those issues under the rug and get to an issue that needs real attention and immediate action: school logos.

Does the ticket office accept checks?

Interesting how times change...five years ago, Brian Gionta cried after BC lost to the Sioux in the NCAA title game. Last night, he pounced on the puck and grabbed it out of the net almost immediately after Parise scored. Byegones are byegones I guess.

Well put, PCM. I agree. Finding common ground is what it's all about.

Further proving that extremists on either side of the aisle are no good, Sioux-cia. However, I don't think conservatives alone are responsible for the slandering of the word "liberal". It would seem the extreme left wing of the Democratic Party has done a good job of that all by itself (Charlie Rangel, Ward Churchill, etc.).

I couldn't disagree more. The NCAA would want to wipe out any evidence that that nickname and logo ever existed.
