  1. What, you guys ain't clever enuff to sneak in a hip flask full of some high grade Russian Anti-Freeze in with you??  :lol:  I though you went to college to learn how to do stuff like this.  :silly:  :lol:  :lol:

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    Like Fedorov said...we get searched...

    Plus, there's cameras on the student section at all times, plus a couple security guards in each section....

  2. I told you all.....Parise/Vanek has transformed into Toews/Kessel

    Over/Under on the number of Kessel threads on SS and the number of Toews threads on GPL during the season is set at 491...that's each, not combined :lol:

    Both Kessel and Toews will impact their team...Kessel looked great at the WJC and I expect him to almost live up to the hype. Which means he's being waaaay too overhyped by the media. He'll have an easier transition than Toews, but after a month or so I expect Toews to be just fine. As far as the GPLers...I think it's more that they took him from under Bucky's nose at the moment, than him "saving" the program...

  3. Just in case Coach Hakstol or one of the players looks in, the "Dave's a mess" was obviously not a slam on Dave Hakstol. I just piped in on Notable Quotes and saw "Dave's a killer" and added a quote out of the movie Slap Shot without realizing the quotes were all about Sioux hockey.

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    I'd be willing to bet that they've seen Slap Shot ;)

    Heeeey Hanrahan! :lol:

  4. I have been trying to keep a low profile to build up my posts to avoid the dreaded Skippy Alert, but my daughter (Keikla) has threatened me with a Skippy Alert sign so this is a pre-emptive strike.

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    Looks like she got you anyway... ;)

    Welcome to the boards... :lol:

  5. Without my brilliance, you would not be the sign guy.

    Point, Diggler aka God.

    PCM, you're right. You're older than SuperVolcano!!!

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    Would you get off this SuperVolcano!!! kick?

    Ain't gonna happen...SCSU will win a first round tourney game first :lol:

    And you are not Phil Kessel ;)

  6. Actually, I'm a God.

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    No, you're a wannabe Canadian cape-wielding freak who, for some reason, is a hero to people in the arena...

    I'm the sign guy...

    Point, MNS. ;)

    Never heard of the rezoning thing. I agree with PCM here. It won't happen.

    And there is no anti-youth movement in Grand Forks, BDB...you seem to be the only one who thinks so... :lol:

  7. Tennis and horshoes are for the most part old geezer sports.  Springfest may not have been officially outlawed, but it is a shadow of its former self.  Park shelters may have young people at times but are more geared towards the church group/family reunion crowd.  Why won't you provide any examples of what was so bad about the basketball court?

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    Have you ever driven by University when it gets warmer out...college hotties sunbathing as far as they eye can see....? ;)

    And the basketball courts were removed because bouncyball sucks... :lol:

  8. Folks, the Sioux fans in Columbus were praised by UND and the other fans there.

    What are the characteristics of those fans?

    - I didn't hear the "other team introductions" chant*

    - I did see the crowd stand and cheer during breaks and at key times, but

    - I did see Sioux fans sitting so those around them could see at other times

    - And could you ever hear those Sioux fans ;)

    So how do we get that behavior standard in REA?

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    Give those of us that were there season tickets in the lower bowl to try and get the rest of the students behind us...

    You have to admit the profanity has gone down since the opening of the new arena...it did get a little worse this year, but look who you had in the lower bowl. A few diehards, but mostly people to whom it was just a social event to go get drunk...and lets face it drunk wannabe hockey fans is not a good thing...

    We need to get the Alerus atmosphere into REA...When I was in Duluth I talked to a UMD football player. He said we had the best fans in the NCC. The students never stopped giving them crap and it was the most fun loss they had all season.

    Would the "Wheels on your house" chant be a bad one to try and get going? I know it's kind of an Eastern thing, but c'mon with SCSU and MSUM...it's gotta come into play :lol:

  9. Why would all of those big-time places/venues bid?

    Don't they know "nobody cares about college hockey". :lol: :lol:

    San Antonio is a nice town. They have some pubs on the Riverwalk. :lol:

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    Because of the diehards they know it will sell out right away...

    I'd love for San Antonio to get it since I might be living down there at the time ;)

    And I believe Huntsville would host in FL...

  10. I'm pretty sure that Toews, with the letter of intent, signed away his opportunity to play on the World Junior team for Canada.  The MJ leagues have a good influence over Team Canada, IMO.

    I'm sure he'll still try out for it, but I'd be very surprised if he did.

    And no, don't look for Tri City to back off until he's 21 years old.  We're not out of the woods yet.

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    You're just mad they didn't sign Mapletoft :lol:

    Toews/Kessel...the new Parise/Vanek ;)

    ...so it begins
