I have been attending Sioux hockey (actually most UND sporting events) since I was in high school. Attended the games at the barn, season tivkets at the old Englested and now at the Ralph. Student activity now is no different than it was when I was a student watching hockey in the barn. My tickets have been in various places during the past 55 years and it has never been a problem if 'fans' stood up and cheered for the Sioux. That is what fans do. Certainly the language is an issue--however my grandsons attend games with me and if the worst they ever hear is the language at the Ralph--I would be surprised. Its time to cut the students some slack--they are young-enthusiastic and passinate about UND and their team. This 'old fella' feels a great sense of pride in seeing the students carrying on the great tradition of vocally supporting the Sioux. I hope we don't rag on this to the point we lose the passion.
