Fighting Sioux 23

I always sing three verses, like such... VERSE 1 In heaven there is no beer (no beer) That's why we drink it here (right here) And where We're gone from here Our friends will be drinking all the beer VERSE 2 In heaven there are no refs (no refs) But here, they're blind and deaf And when we all have left Our friends will be bitchin at the refs VERSE 3 In heaven there is no snow (no snow) But here, it's ten below (brrr) And when we all must go Our friends will be shoveling the snow then usually back to Verse 1. Also, Seven Nation Army is played at the Ralph...

What??? I thought the DQ Cup WAS the national championship?

We wouldn't get a bonus for winning those games because they were played at home. The bonus is for quality ROAD wins. But yeah, that would definitely help us out in the TUC and RPI.

Are you saying South is relatively close in play to Moorhead? While I agree with you, wouldn't Williston losing to Red River 4-2, or Minot losing to Grafton 5-2 be similar situations to South losing to Moorhead, in that they are relatively close in play to those top Eastern schools? Anyway, I'm really rooting for Devils' Lake and Grafton. Devils' Lake probably had the best day in the first round, but will probably face a steaming Red River squad, and we all know the difficulties that Grafton has had with Fargo South. Either way, hopefully the games are competitive.

This year perhaps, but in the other 15 times in the last 16 years, Minot had to have been favored to win a few times.

For UND to have a good shot at getting a #1 seed they would basically need the following: Sweep Denver Sweep St. Cloud Sweep 1st Round Series Win Semi-final game and Championship game, one of which is against St. Cloud If this happened, they would most likely tip the following comparisons: Denver (We'd likely sweep all points in the comparison) Michigan (We'd flip the TUC point, giving us a 2-1 advantage) Boston College (We'd flip TUC point, giving us a 2-1 advantage) Maine (We'd flip RPI point, giving us a 2-2 tie w/RPI tiebreaker) Boston University(We'd flip RPI and TUC, giving us a 2-1 advantage) Clarkson (We'd flip RPI and TUC, giving us a 2-1 advantage) St. Cloud (They'd have us in RPI, TUC and COP, but we'd have 4 H2H wins, thus a 4-3 advantage) That would give the Sioux 21 PWR Comparisons, and be 4th in the standings, thus getting the last #1 seed.

For TUC and COP think of it like points...for example: Team A has a record of 10-5-0 and Team B has a record of 8-3-4. Team A would have 10 wins for 20 points out of 30 possible, so that would be .6667 win% Team B would have 8 wins for 16 points and 4 ties for 4 points for 20 points total out of 30 possible, and again a .6667 win % So, two ties would equal 1 win and 1 loss because it would be gaining two points out of a possible four.

I'd call it the curse of the "M". They always seem to choke come playoff time...

Hehe, well, I HOPE i'm wrong, but logic seems to point to a Spoilers victory.

I'll go with 6-3 Grafton...

looks like Shots were 11-5 in favor of Grafton.

Minot up 1-0, couple minutes into the 1st.

Not that I know of. I was checking the Minot Radio Station websites but wasn't able to find any link to a live online broadcast or anything.

Grafton-Minot about to begin...

Final: South 6 - 2 Century

3:00 minutes left in the game. Century has to be pleased with their effort today, hanging in there with one of the top two teams in the state.

4-2 South, 5:00 left in the 3rd.

4-2 South with 7:00 left.

3-2 South, 3:44 to go in the 2nd.

You're right. The semi-finalists that year were Minot, Bismarck, Jamestown (all "West" teams that year) and Fargo North was the lone EDC school in the semis.

I want to say that Minot beat Grafton in the First Round in '92, then beat South in the Semifinals. Also, I want to say the Championship Game finished at 8-7.

Actually the Islanders are 6-3-1-0 in their last ten. I'm not saying they'll win against Tampa, but they've played well in their last ten. Dipietro has played very well lately, and as JS Giguere proved last year, an average team can win. So, GO ISLES!! Note: Tampa Bay over Isles in Five
