Man, I'm so nervous right now with the Basketball and Hockey game! Adrenaline overload!!! COME ON UND!!

Still not getting it, so I will just assume you indeed ARE drinking. I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT NORTH DAKOTA. YOU brought up how the Gophers are so good and may win it all this year. I SAID they are in a joke of a conference, their record doesn't impress me because of that and UMD or Denver would destroy them. So....AGAIN......I'm not sure how any of the teams in their conference being ahead of UND has to do with anything. I'm hitting the hay because I'm obviously not getting through to you and you have seemed to be WANTING to piss people off the last few nights in these GDTs, so nighty night man! Go Sioux

MM, we've been through it in the past, so I'm going to keep it as civil as I can. Are you drunk or just not your sharpest tonight? My point is that MN is in a joke of a conference and would get CRUSHED by UMD or Denver. Not sure how I can say it any simpler for you. THAT is what I'll gamble on..since it appears you are so in love with the thought of MN winning it all.

And their conference's ALMIGHTY team (that a lot of people on here seem to be calling you out on lately for having a fixation with?) barely beat us in their own barn this year. So I'm not sure what your point is. They wouldn't be playing us in the playoffs. They'd be playing UMD or Denver (my guess) and they'd get crushed. By the way.....I'm a gambling man.

I honestly think that we have the talent. But since you are referencing MN, I guess I will throw out what ol Herb Brooks said when he stated, "Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard." I believe we have a hangover from last year, which happens often in sports. Again, the title last year goes a long way for me in regards to being able to accept this year. Also....Minnesota isn't winning it this year. They are in a joke of a conference, they'd get absolutely destroyed by UMD or Denver.

If the Browns were just coming off a SB win, the Browns?

I'm sorry.....but what?

Ahhh, I suppose the jabs people seem to be throwing this year about Hak/Berry,National Title finally versus consistent success, but playoff gut wrenching losses was bound to happen. But man...it's getting sickening on here. I for one am ok with the down season after FINALLY winning it all last year. I'd much rather have the last 12 months of hockey than what we were having every year previous. I guess I don't understand the thought pattern behind those who would rather see us have great regular seasons only to blow it all when it matters instead of having a title one year and than a year like this one. I'm not saying it's over this year by any means, but I tell you what...having a down year after winning IT ALL is certainly preferable to me over having 2 GREAT regular seasons with long playoff runs, but nothing to show for it at the end of April. To each their own though.

Right? Keep it classy Dave.

Solid post and to be honest, I've never even thought of this MM. Love the idea and completely agree with you.

"Sparky" Do your parents know you're up this late?

Speaking of the "holier than thou" crowd. Get real pal, you're no better fan or person than anyone else on here. As much as you like to act like you are.

Sorry to hear about your wife man, hope she is doing much better. Good post. I understand what you are saying too, just getting tired of the constant letdown from this program. Anyways..good post.

This board is too damn funny. Just sooooooo many BLIND homers. And that's fine if you want to be that way, but to be arrogant and stupid enough to chastise those of us with CHAMPIONSHIP EXPECTATIONS is just ridiculous. Only on Sioux sports would someone bring up "but our basketball team hasn't won anything in 20 years! THAT'S a REAL drought!" The other classic on this board? Those who are silly enough to throw out puke like , "what would you rather have, a title and 20 bad years after that or being in it every year?!" So........those are the only two choices? How about the choice of having a last 15 years like BC........DENVER.........or dare I say it.....MINNESOTA? Because I'd certainly take all three of their last 15 years over ours. Those of you who are leaping for joy about winning sooo many Broadmoors, Mcnaughtsons, Penrose, Regionals, etc, etc......may be happy with just "being there", but THIS PROGRAM has wayyyyy to much tradition to be happy with just 'BEING THERE." And excuse us....but some of us are getting sick and damn tired of the constant FAILURE of this team. The basketball comparison is the best. Here's a concept. Schools usually have what is called a FLAGSHIP program You know....Duke has Basketball.....Alabama has Football......and guess...what.....we have HOCKEY. Do you think Alabama compares there baseball team to their football team? Exactly..it's just as asinine to compare our hockey team to our basketball team. There is a certain school down south about 80 miles that has a flag ship program. How do they do? Oh yeah....they WIN every damn year.....step UP when the pressure is high.....and CLOSE out games with CLUTCH play. Excuse those of us who expect the SAME DAMN THING out of our FLAGSHIP program. Another great line from the peanut gallery......"we are spoiled!" Really? Choking our butts off on the big stage YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR is spoiled? Huh....and here I thought NDSU fans were the SPOILED ones. I forgot our definition of spoiled is 'BEING THERE!" Whatever....those of you who are happy having the chance to play for a title every year and are 100% completely satisfied with that can feel free to do so. But stop being jagoffs and throwing out the "holier than thou" crap of those of us who are such 'BAD FANS" for wanting some damn RESULTS when it matters from our alma matter's flagship program that has the finest facilities in the entire COUNTRY and has had arguably the BEST PLAYERS come through its doors the last 15 years on the planet as well. Should Hak be fired? I don't know, probably not. But if we keep choking our ass off every year, does it really matter who the coach is? I could coach the team to earning NOTHING in the frozen four year after year. Wait.......I couldn't even get us to the FF you say? You're right...my bad. But tell me this..what does the team who goes to the FF and loses every year get that the teams who don't even make the tournament don't? Oh yeah...they get to break the hearts of their fans every damn year. We need a change. Whether it's recruiting different players, adjusting to a different style, changing our philosophy, or yes........changing coaches.....SOMETHING needs to change. This is getting DISGUSTING. Meanwhile...the fn clowns down south get to go for "ONE FOR THE THUMB" next year for "their school's sport". I wouldn't mind just ONE of those rings under Hak. Just........O.....N......E. If that makes me any lesser of a fan then so be it. But I'll tell you this.....I invest thousands.......THOUSANDS of dollars in this program each year I invest countless hours. I've lost sleep over them. I've raised my kids into Sioux fans. I love them with all of my heart. And yes.....I have expectations that include winning a damn title once in 15 years. So if this means I'm "a bad fan who would throw my team under the bus for a title", than I'm G-Damn proud to be a "bad fan." GO SIOUX!

Dude....there is only one person everyone is laughing at.......take a look in the mirror to find out who.

We all get that. Of course you will. The question is will you ever be able to take off your green shades long enough to understand why anyone on earth would DARE criticize Hak. Of course you won't.

Not sure I've ever seen anyone on here who has thought that. I have seen some who think ONE in FIFTEEN YEARS isn't too much to ask.

Sold

I have 1 ticket available for today/tonight only. Ticket is good for both games today and is in reserved seating. $150 total. Text 218-201-3033 if interested.

I have a Student SRO ticket package for sale for the entire weekend. $120 bucks takes it. Text 218-201-3033 if interested.

I'm not too upset about this game as I would rather have gotten it out of the way now instead of next weekend. Plus winning 8 in a row (and 9 out of 10) is never easy and that's what we would have to have done in order to win it all this weekend as well as #8. Winning 5 in a row will be much easier. However, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your post OETKB. It's astonishing that so many people on SS just CAN'T FATHOM how a fan(atic) of this team could be getting sick and damn tired of the choke jobs this team has pulled off in the last decade plus. Or how we won't accept "being there" as a consolation prize. Some of us want a DAMN TITLE. It's been 15 years for god sakes. And to have a program rich in history and tradition like UND has and to have the best players more often than not in the entire country, but come up short year after year (and usually in horrific fashion) is getting pretty old. Meanwhile the "flagship" program down south wins year after year after year after year. How about our "flagship" program does something for once? 2000 was quite awhile ago. The response from the clowns? "We could be Alaska Anchorage! I bet their fans would LOVE to trade places with us!" And for those people, I don't even have the time or energy to explain how silly you are. Again, GREAT POST man! And again, I'm hoping/guessing tonight was just a road bump. But we BETTER take care of business next weekend! GO SIOUX!

Damn! Will do. Thanks man!

I apologize if this is in the thread somewhere already, but I don't want to sift through 23 pages. Can anyone inform me on how to get tickets for the place serving beer? It's my understanding that it all needs to be done prior to game day. Is it already sold out? How does a guy order tix to get in? Any help would be much appreciated! GO SIOUX!

I have 2 tickets in Section 113 Row P for Friday night's game. $140 total SOLD
