Ok. That wasn't supposed to say shifty.

Brainstorming here.... but everyone I ask agrees...the nchc should opt out of our shifty target center contract and move this tournament to Denver. Thoughts?

Or Screaming Sky Cats. Whether it's an actual Bobcat or a Mountain Lion, I don't know.

What about Raging Ringnecks? Pheasants aren't very tough though. but you could give him an Aviator hat, a plane and some hellfire missles.

I think someone really needs to work on a name, because I have NO faith in this committee. And Kelly needs to just go jump off a cliff. I'll drive him to Montana. But seriously, we can't just make up our own cool Fighter Wing nickname? It can't be that hard. If someone doesn't come up w/ something cool and it doesn't take off on social media, we're screwed. Because what's worse than losing the old name? How 'bout having the president of UTTC and the PC police come up with a terrible one we have to live with for the rest of our lives (and our kids' lives). We'll probably end up being the "Loving, Inclusive Kittens" or something as crappy. I think that's a Bohica situation in Aviator Slang. Eielson was an Ice Pilot, but I think we can do better than that. Pick an animal or a plane nickname.

Thanks, man. owe ya. Beer time if we run into each other at the frozen whatever they call it in Minneapolis. ;_) Keep your head down though... there's bullets flyin' in that town after midnight.

So we're saying we lost once? That was what I was thinking... not sure what the win total is though...

My son is going to pre-school w/ a Greg Hardin jersey tomorrow for "Football party" day... His teacher is a big bison fan. ... what's the Sioux record in the Fargo Dome? I know it's good... we used to joke when I was in school that we "rented the land" to them. Desperate situation here. . .let me know... Too tired w/ getting little ones to bed to do a decent search on-line.

Who gives a crap about what people want to see? If you're looking out for the best interest of UND, you go for home and home. If they don't want to make that deal, tell them to go talk to the sheep in their barn. We have the only thing they don't have, The Nickel Trophy. If you're going to sell out, just sell the damn trophy for $500,000 and get a coach w/ some Bowl experience who can actually beat the bastards. AND give him some time to get a team to do it. This deal was a disgrace to anyone who's ever sweated and bled for the UND football team. But, hey, we're underdogs, there's money to be made in Vegas in case of a miracle.

You need a Shoenrock. They snuck the dead badger into the old Ralph in a baby snow suit. Gophers in Philly would be too easy for those boys.

There's really no one who's better to comment on this than a Shoenrock. How many of you are Shoenrock's? They snuck the dead badger in the old Ralph in a baby snow suit. Gophers in Philly would be a breeze.

Our annual Final Five/Frozen Face-Off crew is working three or four theories we came up w/ the Sat. morning after the MIami game about how we're going to win this whole thing and it seems to be working so far. . . Beware! There might be some slight negativity due to the time they were conceived. #1) No one had the annual shot of Jameson before the Miami game. . . Lisa now has this covered. #2) Yale wasn't awesome last year and those idiots won the whole thing why can't our idiots win it? It's our turn. #3) As long as we never fall behind, we'll win it all. (Chris's theory). We haven't been behind yet! And #4) I'm sticking w/ the no jersey (just wearing Sioux t-shirts or sweatshirts) since I wasn't wearing one for the Third place game. Although I am tempted to pull out the Pivetz jersey today! (Will probably stick w/ the t-shirt. It worked last night!) So stick w/ what you all did last night, and we'll be fine. So so far so good!

You could just pick a bar in Williston and post it on the Alumni Website as a viewing party site (if there isn't one already, I haven't looked).

The problem is, when things started going badly Sat. night, one of a couple of things should have been done. 1.) For the first time in years, someone should have gotten into a fight to fire up the team and turn the momentum back our way. #11 was being a pain in the a** for example. Or Archibald for that matter, should you really get away "clean" w/ a hat trick? In the early 90s we may have lost, but we at least roughed some people up before they left the building! And yes, I know that this is a team where, unlike previous years, we don't really have any fighters, but if that's the case, the coach should come up w/ a different plan. . .like pull Saunders for the freshman after the 5th goal; could he really been worse on breakaways than Saunders?. (Although stopping the cherry picking, B.C. breakaways might have been another solution!) Or hell, OUR coach could have started throwing things and gotten kicked out of the game. Maybe that would have gotten through to these guys. Some one needed to wake them up during this game and no one stepped up, player or coach. At the very least, there should have been some serious skating going on afterwards. It was a pathetic effort, all around. Ok. That's my one "once every three years" rant.

I wasn't talking about just any games the last two years, just this year's postseson. Regular season is out the window when it's the Playoffs.

If NDSU would have had to go on the road instead of staying home this postseason, it would have been a completely different scenerio. For most of the postseason, I felt like that guy on TV after their missed extra point turned into a 2 pointer. . . complete amazement. Who wins a playoff game cuz the other team doesn't show up w/ a field goal kicker? Or to allow someone to run 270 or so yards on you but not have them be able to get in the endzone? It was truly a blessed run. They were a monsterously better team last year than they were this year. Especially offensively.

He's actually an NDSU graduate who secretly wants UND to have no option but to play against the NDSU club team because they'll have no one else to play. (We'll still kick their #@@!!).

All the good paying jobs are in Bismarck and west. Hard to find housing west of Bismarck though. If you have a CDL and have any experience driving in winter, you can make a lot of money. Housing in Bismarck is still reasonable and a lot of people are starting to use it as a home base for oil field work. But there are also a lot of other jobs in Bismarck as well. Check the Sunday Bismarck Tribune or google North Dakota Jobs. Also, Bismarck is a little bit warmer than Grand Forks, and has a real river. If only the Sioux played there! ;0

Apparently St. Clair took a couple of high school classes on-line that the NCAA doesn't want to give him credit for. His 2nd appeal just got turned down, (you get three), so I don't know if it looks so good for this year. Of course, this is all just the latest rumors. Have no idea how reliable the source is, so take it w/ a grain of salt.

Since everyone else is low-balling their lower bowl tickets, I'll sell mine for "face value" . . . $75 a ticket for all games, both nights. Have 4 tickets left. Text (701) 391-2289 before 4 pm, or call after 5 pm. Work out of town and have bad cell reception at work.

Well, I guess we have to have a fire sale since every other lower bowl ticket seller is low-balling! I only have 4 left, but I'll sell 'em for "face value" or $75 a ticket. Tickets are in GF. Text me before 4:00 pm at (701) 391-2289 or call after 5. Work out of town w/ bad cell reception.

Have to edit the title! I guess they are Sec. 166 Row J. So 10th row. I just got the actual seat location. Sorry!

I have 5 Ice Breaker Tickets 8 rows up from the ice beside the Sioux bench. $100 a piece for all games. It's not fun unless you can see the spit coming out of Eades mouth when he's yelling at the guys! E-mail hotrod_nd@yahoo.com. (That's an underscore _ between hotrod and nd).

Bought a ton of tix for relatives for the Regional in GF, and won tix to the Frozen Four in Milwaukee. Sat in the second row w/ a college girlfriend who just moved to Milwaukee the week before, great seats in the players section. (Met Robbie Earl before the game. . . nice guy, even though he was a big diver!) Anyway, sat by the biggest loser jerk of a Boston College fan that ever lived (although I've heard they're all that way from anyone I've ever asked) who chirped and dissed North Dakota the whole game. (My girlfriend says to this day that it's a good thing they don't serve beer at those things. . . I'd have never made it through the second period w/o getting kicked out!) We lost of course, but I was still so mad about it the next day that I wouldn't sit by the Boston College fans at the tasting part of the Miller Brewery tour. My friend and I hung back so we could sit by some Sioux fans. And it's all History after that. I married the scruffy one two years later and our son will be playing for the Sioux in 2028. P.S. Still mad I didn't write a great letter to the brewery about how we met so we could have gotten free beer for the wedding dance. Went to Denver Frozen Four for the Honeymoon and lost, so we're staying home and going to Wild Wings on Thurs. in Bismarck. I think we're due. . . . it's our son's first birthday on Sat.

I totally agree!! What's worse, is that it's the damn Boston song (Boston College/Boston University) and as someone who went to some of the more recent Frozen Fours, (especially Milwaukee!) I also have a puking reaction to the song. It definitely should be banned from the Ralph PERMANENTLY!!! And too bad a Hoogsteen doesn't play for us anymore . . . "Hoogsteen Phooey, #1 Super Guy" was the best ever. The Mickey Mouse chant definitely needs to be brought back as well. (Yes, I remember all the words!)
