I just love these skippies/clowns from Minnesoda that come on this board and spout off about how the Sioux (look Siouxhater its Sioux not Sue, what can't goofer fans can't spell Sioux?) aren't their rival, I am sure some of the players on both side of the issue would respectfully disagree with your assessment. Please, tell that to the Sioux and Gopher teams that played in 1979 and 1980. Its laughable to read a comment as silly and as stupid as that comment. Its almost as silly as the pipe dream known as the Big Ten Hockey conference.
The story I heard why the Sioux didn't get any of the Potulnys was that The Potulny's Father told Blaiser that either you take them both or you get neither of them. I have heard this more than once over the years, and I wouldn't doubt its true.
