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.

I'm a new member to this, but have been reading the forum for years. I'm one of those "old people" you are referring to (ticket holder since 1972-long before many of you were even born!) I was most upset on Sat. nite to see the "police" going up and down the aisles of the student section motioning everyone to sit down. People need to realize the student section is the main mover on getting the crowd into the game and that you students pay plenty in tuition, housing, money in the community and you have every right to stand when it is warranted. There are many instances during a game where your vision is blocked becuz of the action on the boards etc. and in order to see it you need to stand! I was just getting excited to see the arena come alive this year and now they want to put a damper on it all! Hardly makes sense to me at this point. I'm lucky enuff to have a lower bowl seat on a corner so it usually isn't an issue, your section on the side does not allow for that luxury.

If the Gophers lose on thursday their season is over. period
as for "letting" 4 WCHA teams in, its all about the math. if 4 teams are in the top 13ish then they are in. There have been 5 teams from the WCHA in before. The only way I see that happening is maybe a UW over UM or UW over UMD final.
Did a senerio where MN. loses play-in and all favorites win the other games in all conferences. MN comes up tied for 14th pair wise and would be in the tourney. Under that senerio even if ND wins the final five they end up in 6th pair wise. Seems impossible but that what I found using "You Are The Committe'.
