A flickertail is a gopher. ND is called the Flickertail State. They're the big fat ones you see all over the state. Goldie would be a flickertail gopher.
Was at the game last night. Second best Sioux hockey experience ever for me. The first being the 2012 Final Five comeback against the Gophers. Hopefully I can have a new first April 11. See you all in Boston. GO SIOUX!!!
Bigger is not an issue in regionals, it is this year because UND is hosting, and it's in Fargo. If UND wasn't the host and got shipped to Providence, there wouldn't be 500 people in Fargo.
If we lose out there, it will be the worst hockey facility in the country, bad ice, bad seats,bad food,etc. If we win it will be the best facility for a regional tournament in the history of man,and we'll want it there every year. Simple.
After reading all this doom and gloom, I think I'll just draw myself a nice warm bath, open my wrists, and avoid all the misery to come in the next two and a half weeks.
