Do you sleep in your car? I have my tickets for UND/Tech...now I need to make that hotel reservation.

New SDSU Logo vs Old SDSU Logo Here's the new vs old logo. No question which is better.

ESPN Picture/Article on SDSU Logo Change

jloos, You're incorrect about San Diego State's use of the word "Aztecs." Actually, there has been a lot of controversy stirred up over the use of the nickname and Aztec logo. I believe SDSU has discontinued use of the Aztec logo while retaining the nickname as part of an effort to slow down the "change the name" groups working against them. The name stands, but you don't see any Aztec warrior logos around anymore, unfortunately.

Good grief, WPoS, what do you seel meth out of your basement to help fund these road trips or what?

Goon, I totally agree with you on that regard, except that I am pretty certain you mean anything less than a Sioux sweep is unacceptable.

Cue the SNL skit of VH1's Behind the Music: Blue Oyster Cult... I GOT A FEVER...FOR 'DAT COWBELL!

I dunno...maybe it's just me, but I feel dorky wearing a hockey jersey when no game is going on. It's kind of like being the guy on the street wearing the Culpepper jersey the day after the Vikings get their butts handed to them. Or wearing a Favre jersey yesterday.

Once a Sioux, always a Sioux, Benny. God bless.

On another note...red bull avatar or bouncing cartoon boobs...I can't decide. Maybe Jim will help me out again.

I don't necessarily think it's just a Sioux thing...it's a North Dakota thing. Three weeks ago, my softball team was in St Cloud for the State ASA co-rec fall state tournament. I'm in the hotel lobby area eating some breakfast before our game and notice a guy sitting a few seats over. His hat has a big eagle on it...not unlike the South Heart High School eagle logo. He turns around and on the back it says "South Heart" on it. Still not convinced, I notice the bill color is maroon. I walk over and introduce myself. Turns out he's the principal of SHHS and his son is in Milaca for a high school cross country meet. I went to high school in Belfield, 9 miles from South Heart, our natural rival in boys basketball. I'll wear a Sioux sweatshirt or t-shirt out anytime, but a hockey jersey? C'mon, guys, that's game-day wear only.

I'm driving my car the other day westbound on Shepard Road and glance over to the car next to me in the left lane. Obviously hoping to see a Russian blonde hottie flashing me, I am clearly disappointed when it's not the case. However, I did a double-take as I notice the male driver sporting a Fighting Sioux hockey jersey. I laughed out loud...was it Friday and I'm late for the game in Mankato? No. He couldn't find his Nomar Garciaparra jersey, so decided to wear his Sioux jersey to Old Chicago to watch the Red Sox play? No idea. Who was this Sioux fan and why was he wearing his jersey on a Tuesday afternoon at 5:00 pm? My money says 3-1 shot that he's somewhere on this message board. Any Sioux fan wearing his jersey out and about on a weekday has to be.

#19 green DiNunzio jersey. See you Saturday.

siouxguyinstpaul, Was that you I drove by tonite at about 5:00 pm on Shepard Road @ 35E? I'm heading west-bound on Shepard Road and look over in the left lane to see a guy wearing a Sioux hockey jersey turning to go southbound on 35E. Pretty funny. MafiaMan

OK, tickets have been ordered...all I need to do is make hotel reservations now. I have been to the Marquette area several times and I know the town of Ishpeming has a nice toboggan run that costs $1 an hour. It's a day's worth of fun, that's for sure. Is there something like that in or nearby Houghton?

Don't forget Mettler's after the game.

Basil, Last time I checked...broomball is played on the ice. Stop on out and see some of our men's leagues in St Paul sometime. Pretty intense competition. One of my players is still under suspension for a fight in last year's playoffs. Stupid penalty and a bad time for him to get ejected. I call him "Matt Greene" as a joke.

205 visits and ONE reply? Am I the only Sioux broomball player in the Twin Cities?

While browsing thru this site, I happened upon the pics of the Sioux Sports/POI hockey game held the past couple of winters. For those NoDak transplants like me who never got to know the sport of hockey until arriving on the UND campus, broomball has become an alternative. I've played since 1988 and now manage one of the top men's teams in St Paul and co-rec teams in the Roseville area. Just curious if there are any other players on the board who might be interested in a little grudge match with POI. I could probably even book a ref for a Saturday morning/afternoon game this winter at a location fairly central in the metro area of Mpls/St Paul. Any interest?

Here we go...the fans crawl out of the woodwork after one game annointing the new players as Hobey candidates and e-mailing the NCAA to tell them to send the national championship trophy to Grand Forks right now. One game does not a season make, folks. Wait until Zajac plays in front of thousands of fans screaming AGAINST him to see how well he does under pressure. And not one but TWO short-handed goals scored against you? Yikes. Some things to work on, but definitely a positive start.

It is a dump, Let's Go Sioux, and the best part is, you'll likely get there and find yourself packed in like sardines. A few years ago, someone was in my two seats and I said they'd have to move and the guy asks me "Where do you want me to go...there's no room." I told him I didn't care and that if his seats were next to mine, then he could suggest to the people next to him that THEY should also hit the road. You'll never see more obnoxious students and some of their fans are first-class jerks. It's no Mankato or Duluth, I'll tell you that much.

The lows of losing a hockey game can't compare with the tough times of life. Coach Blais, who knows if you even surf message boards now and then, but if you do, I want to thank you for taking the time to say "hi" to me in Ann Arbor back in 1998 during the western regional and for talking to the fans every time I saw you at The Big Sioux. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. May God bless you all and may your wife rest in peace.

It's a done deal, folks. I'm headin' up to da Yoo-Pee. Go Sioux...beat dem der Huskies!

I seem to recall a few people calling Domino's and pizzas being delivered while I stood in line. Good call!
