IdaSioux

I love the idea of having all Sioux games televised, but please, PLEASE find someone other than Pat Sweeney to do the play by play. He couldn't accurately call a turtle race. And tell Scanlon to OPEN his eyes. He always looks stoned.

Best wishes Danny! When I was at UND in '89, my room mate, a D Lineman for the Sioux got frostbite on his face and hands after passing out on the steps of the Sigma Nu house. This sounds eerily similar.

Sometimes DirecTv is a little slow, but it comes on eventually, right before the game starts... Webcast isn't an option for me so I guess it'll be the Schloss/Jayson updates through the blog.

FightingSioux.com says the game is on FCS Atlantic on DirecTv, but the guide says no... Anyone know what's up?

The one trueism of the Sioux over the last 10 years is that a solid defense produces a stellar goaltender. I look to Simpson, Marto, LaPoint, Blood and Genoway to step up their games this weekend to vault UND into another level of college hockey tonight. Kristo need a breakthrough and I think he's up to the task tonight/this weekend as well.

Which channel on DirecTV? 617 has Baylor Vs. Texas football

Is tonight the breakout night for Kristo or is the Sophomore Slump in full force??

Sorry if I missed this already, but will FCS cover hockey home games this season too?

The biggest thing in my mind that the Sioux will have to overcome is their seemingly year-in, year-out with BC. I realize Yale is first, but I hope Hak has something special up his sleeve if we wind up playing BC. GO SIOUX!!

Teams win championships. Who cares about individual accolades?

AMEN BROTHER!!

You won't find a bigger Sioux fan west of Missoula, Montana than me! I will say however that I think the new ranking for the Sioux this week is very appropriate, if not still a bit high. The Sioux have not played as a top 5 team in some time. This is due to many reasons. I think at some level the high rank has played games with the team's head. Perhaps over confidence. Now that they're #9, the rebuilding/rethinking can begin. Hak is a strong coach. Not everyone could have done what he did his first 5 years. In fact, few have ever done so... GO SIOUX!!

Does anyone know if Brad is going to be doing the live game blogs this year? Those were outstanding for those of us who aren't within radio wave distance. The internet radio is iffy at best...

Welcome Tate! Go KILL some gophers!!

Gracias - Technologically challenged on Sunday afternoons...

Where's Brad's live blog this weekend??

Well, like I said, Spokane looked solid winning 8 -0 over Portland Friday night. The game was fast and wide open. Tokarski reminded me a lot of Goerning. Not overly big, but always positioned dead on.

Thanks for the info. I was expecting to see a lot of MN, MI, and WI kids on the rosters, but it's mainly western Canada kids. It's good hockey to watch, and really the only hockey to watch in this part of the country. There were, however, a lot of Sioux fans at the game. I wore my Sioux jersey and got a lot of "Go Sioux!" comments.

Does anyone know anything about the Western Hockey League? I was at the Spokane Chiefs game on Friday night and, although I'm not a hockey scout, I saw what I thought was some excellently skilled players. Tokarski, Wahl, Johnson, etc. I see a lot of kids coming out of the USHL to the NCAA ranks, but very few if any from the WHL. Any ideas why this is??

You called it!!

That was fast!! Thanks!!

I keep waiting to see one of you post another Sioux goal. Anyone?? Anyone??

This is not the time of the year to let up a bit...

Fornier... Forney... Commit, Leave... Coincidence?? I THINK NOT!

That's him...
