Ficticious?

Bush league because it was the gophers. No more discussion needed. God, I hate gopher hockey.

Care to comment on this one, Ralph?

Isn't that kind of like Vanek being put in the game (off his regular line by the way) to score an open netter when the Sioux were in town?

So much for "nobody pays attention to those stupid message boards"...

Tony: I'm having difficulty understanding your opinions on this subject because of your hazy implications and lack of smiley face icons... For the benefit of the siouxsports.com board, please edit your posts accordingly. Seriously, you are correct about the polls not mattering. It does give us fodder to throw around on Sun-Fri, but like you said... it all comes down to winning the important games.

Right on... During the Denver game last year, they played it at the end of regulation and everyone went nuts. Definately cool. If its as bad as it sounds, maybe I'll stay in the bathroom Saturday night...

Can anyone give a quick description? I completely missed the whole starting line-up. (I had to take the 4 year old to the bathroom... )

I hope not!

So is DeMarchi gone? The link didn't say he was one of those going to Albany...

I quote the 70-80 year old guy behind me to his wife: "What the f**k is this, hockey or a goddam circus?"

On the coaches show last Wednesday, Coach Lennon didn't mince words about taking Bowencamp out if he didn't produce. I guess we saw that result in the game on Saturday. Anyway, my point is that Wilson obviously knows the system and has looked decent in practice for DL to say something openly on radio before an important conference game. Bowencamp undoubtedly saw the writing on the wall, right? I might be reaching here, but sometimes a team will rally around one individual vs. another. Much like coaching, sometimes a team will "play" for one coach but not another. Could this be the case with Wilson/ Bowencamp? Of course, its easy for me to say these things given the current win and situation as a whole. Just throwing it out there...

Exactly, CRR, special teams plays were huge for us... Defensively and Offensively... Lueck was noticeably frustrated. After one dropped pass, it looked like he was taking himself out of the game. Helmet off, doing the arm wave-off thing, shaking his head, etc. Everyone has bad games, I'm sure he'll be fine. PLAY OF THE GAME: Wilson's heads up pass to convert the final fourth down and get into field goal range. It looked like he comitted to the rolling run, and at the last second hit a planted receiver on the sideline for a first down on the 35. Great job seeing the field. We all went crazy... one hell of a game. (Jeff Glas' field goal could also qualify for POTG ) PREDICTION: Wilson starts next week. (not really going out on a limb here)

I think I saw that... do you sit 3-4 seats in in the first row of 108... wear a #5 jersey, and sit next to a guy with a lighted hard hat? Even I thought she (and her feathery blonde fellow) were being pricks... BTW, If the Duluth station really called UND's first goal a deflection... Are "deflection" and "trickler" synonyms in hockey lingo?

Redwing77: The only thing you left out were penalties and time of goals...

We need to do some hitting: 1) Bowencamp needs to hit open targets. 2) Travis Lueck needs to hit the open field. 3) Adam Roland and Brandon Strouth need to hit the holes. 4) Jeff Glas needs to hit field goals from 50 yards without hitting the crossbar. 5) The defense needs to hit Heckendorf. Really, really hard. Bonus) The coaches (no names) need to hit the books and mix it up a bit. I'd have a million points with this team playing "QB1"

Touch

All to be expected by them... 1) Blowing sunshine up Vanek's ass 2) Duluth is looking to solve "unfinished business (no NCAA bid last year) 3) Sioux golies stink (nice link to the curse article, I see ) yada...yada...yada I swear, every pre-season article is a clone of the other...

I disagree... I think it will be a sellout even though the tickets are higher priced. Someone will buy them... But like you said, at least we can tailgate.

Yes, we did and we still are. But I don't expect to go to anything there for free, even though I "paid for it." As far as 3 bucks? What the hell. Don't get me wrong, I like money as much as everyone else. But if parking generates some revenue, and its the norm with other universities and venues, why not?

Greyeagle & WpOS: I don't think RW77 was trying to be insulting, just comical at the expense of the gophers as a whole. I'm sure he wasn't trying to make light of a family situation; he possibly didn't even know. No harm no foul, I say. (no pun intended on the word "foul") Now go back to POI you turkeys!

Can anyone tell me the Fargodome parking prices? And is this for all events?

Yes... they have a different frequency for inside the arena. Listen to Hennessey's pregame, and he'll mention it a few times. He did last year anyway...

The fighting sioux club already has these things made up from when we chose our season seats. It certainly wouldn't take much effort from them to do this for you. If anyone was wondering about row and seat numbering: In the lower bowl, the rows go "up" alphabetically. IE first row is "A", second is "B", etc. As far as numbering, in Section 107 the seat numbers start at the south isle (1) and increase to the north (24). I can't guarantee that its the same way for Sections 108 & 109, but it stands to reason that it would be the case.

Definitely... Our secondary better have their heads up and their running shoes on. Hopefully their QB won't have time to hit his fast receivers!
