    I'm turning my attitude around starting right now. I'm gonna buy Frozen Four tickets for the next 5 yrs just to show my confidence!

    You two should get a room....I'm sure that would be cute..

    Nothing they can do, we needed TWO tribal approvals per the settlement with the NCAA, as Wayne Stenjeum agreed too. Call him or the folks at Fort Yates if you are unclear how it worked.

    When people ask or mention things about the beautiful Sioux name they are NOT asking for you to set them straight... :lol: We all know you are a football only fan who worships the fhawk name. That is great for you, maybe not for some others on here...?

    Something?  Hmmm, pretty vague.:glare:  I only had Frozen Faceoff tickets the first 2 yrs and never attempted to sell those either.  Didn't pick up my Frozen Four tickets til I got to Tampa.  Unless you tried buy my NCHC.tv password, I'm still not your guy:lol:

    ...and Oxbow deserves some respect.  He single handedly united the boys on Saturday and kept this team on the bubble!

    "Vague"....? In context we are talking about tickets so....  But like I said above, I don't care maybe it was another guy in your pack...?

    "Show Ox respect"....omg that's hilarious! You mean like the respect he shows these highly paid college kids who owe him a perfect season....yeah okay!

    3 yrs? Wrong guy.  I got tickets to Fargo pretty late and haven't had regional tickets before that since it was at The Ralph

    Maybe not regionals, but something. I don't care...at least your buddie got to vote you up 1 replying back to me...Im happy for ox, anything to feed the misery machine...:lol:

    Haven't seen bigskyvikes here lately willing to take West Regional tickets off everyone's hands. Odds are looking like he might get a few PM within the next couple weeks to follow through on those potential transactions. 

    Been busy with family funerals and a 6 month ago planned snowmobile trip to the mountains for the last week. You keep your misery going ox, I'll wait till the boys make it and you can tell me "I got lucky saying they'd make it", just like last season.

    I offered mine up 3 weeks ago but ticket master hasn't released them to my acct

    You just make sure you think of every excuse you can to say you wanted to sell them and I didn't follow through! Lol, I told you weeks ago I'd buy them, I think 3 yrs in a row now. Big doom and gloom babies till you sit in your seats at the NCHC or the regional.

    Pitch forks out Fridays and the bus door opens on Saturday, some pathetic "fans" this team has

    :lol:

    I haven’t heard that one. I know the last Sioux logo won just one national title and that was the 2001 football team. It took the Fighting Hawks name to finally bring a national title to the REA. Because names and logos have that much power.

    I rest my case..

    Nickname /logo have nothing to do with athletic success....it's talent and coaching, prolly in that order....that being said  it's tome for Al (I want to be governor, but it ain't happenin' )Carlson and the rest of the "Fighting Sue-sie" crowd to get over it...embrace the teams and university you profess to hold dear!!!!!!

    Exactly what I'm saying, funny how D76 gives you an up vote right after he says that above..

    Can't make this s#@t up!

    I see it when I go on the UND hockey Facebook page, when I type Go Fighting Hawks, you would’ve thought I was a die hard Gophers fan. For some people it’s Fighting Sioux or nothing, I like the people who blame the name and logo for UND’s subpar hockey season. Those people are a riot.

    Like the idiots that said "hanging onto the Sioux name was a curse and that's why they didn't win one"? 

    Hey pot....meet kettle!:lol:

    I disagree. For instance. I dislike thay we retired the logo. I don't dislike that we picked a new name but I dislike the name that was picked. However I've accepted both of these and can move on. The logo itself is just awful and frankly I think it's indefensible. I actually want a mascot. That was a downside to the Sioux logo.

     

    In summary, much of the complaining is due to poor choices made by presidents and their various committees. But that doesn't mean that we are all the same or that people can't move on.

    If this weekend goes south I've got your huckleberry if some of you at least want to break even on your Regional tickets. He'll be available after Saturday's game. Easy to spot.....he'll be the one wearing the rainbow mankini and unicorn mask! ;) :lol:

    Keep up that misery ox...it fits you.

    Make sure you spot me and come see me Friday or Saturday, I'll be there.  I would love that...;)

    how can you be so sure? he jumped teddy on the depth chart when he got healthy and has more game experience in the past ~2 yrs

    He jumped Teddy because of this seasons experience, like training camp and a couple weeks worth of the season. Starting the season over in the fall....Sam is gone, I wouldn't doubt he is done with football because of the bad knee(s).

    I lost count, will the Vikings set a record by losing their 5th Super Bowl or 70billionth Super Bowl?  

    You are acting just like the people on here you argue with that get all negative and dramatic when the Sioux split with.....or lose to....or tie...

    I'm gonna use one of your lines...

    If the Vikings lose in triple overtime in an absolute barn burner you can come back and say, see I told you they would piss it away!

    :lol:

    I can't quite figure you out on this one, either you're a die hard Vikings fan with no trust (I understand) or one of those packer fans....ish (I just threw up a little)

     

    SKOL!!

    And I'm picking Philadelphia because...well, it's the Vikings.  No matter how good things seem to be, the season is likely to end with either the Eagles or the Patriots ripping Minnesota fans' hearts out of their respective chests and eating them.

    And there's thousands of guys that say this before every teams first Superbowl victory! 

    It's so easy to be on the negative side of this and also be right with your prediction. Enjoy your......fun......misery.....whatever it is I don't really care.;)

    Go Vikings!

     

    SKOOOOOOLLLL!!!

    Like I said......

    One is like a Rodgers or Brady, they do not need an outstanding offense to win, that's Wentz. And their offense has not looked even close to explosive like it did with Wentz. The other is a good QB not causing problems and has an outstanding offense around him. Both have Superbowl defenses and that will make it a stressful exciting game to watch!

    It helps for one coming in week 2 and the other not till week 14? 15?....

    I think this game can go either way but I take the guy that has 11+ more games under his belt  with his offense and the #1 defense on his side, and because they are my Vikings!!

     

    SKOOOOOOLLLL!!

    Yup............................so now Keenum is 21-18 overall after a playoff win.  We'll see how it shakes out as either Foles or Keenum will be going to the Super Bowl. 

    Interested to see if Case follows Shurmur to wherever he goes as a head coach or if he stays with the Vikings.

    I hope he stays, but I think he follows Shurmur. Either way he gets paid and my opinion he will do just fine.

  15. I watched the game again last night, still a little nervous watching it. Nothing like the nerves I experienced on Sunday which this time let me really see the game,  WOW, what a great game of football that was! Two teams in the trenches battling it out, gotta be one of the greatest games ever! 

    Still loved that finish!

    SKOOOOOOLLLL!

    You're starting to sound like a bison fan. You remember the bad more than the good. Also listing off really bad plays made by the players as excuses for how the score should've  been different? You're acting Like Keenum is usually flawless and doesn't make those type of mistakes. 

    Keenum made a terrible pass...Keenum took a bad sack...vikes gave up a blocked punt...forbath missed a FG, etc etc. Those all sound like things the vikes had control over, right? 

    I can do that too-- Brees made a bad throw for a long play if not TD to Thomas but instead it was an INT...Snead made a bad throw on a wide open long trick play pass to kamara...lutz missed a FG...Ingram didn't get the 1st down to bleed the clock in the 4th to kick the winning field goal with no time remaining...saints had a TD called off (turned into 0 points)....Crawley had a 45 yard PI called when they got their feet tangled...Bree's threw a pick via a lucky no-look tipped pass by the d-lineman...annnnd not to mention Williams breaking on the ball way too early (probably because of keenums weak arm) and getting caught needing to avoid contact (didn't want PI because you can't end on a penalty and the vikes would've been in FG range) but ended up taking out the only other saints player available to tackle diggs in the process. 

    If you ask any unbiased fan, they'll say the vikes stole it and the saints were the better team THAT DAY. The vikes and their fan base needed that more than any other team in the NFL and they probably are the better team and the best remaining team in the NFL...but they flat out were not the better team last night and they stole it. They choked again but got bailed out by another team choking even worse. Overall the calls were pretty even but leaned in favor of the vikes.

    Also, Thomas getting pressed in coverage and being forced into another on-coming player was not dirty. It's not like it was a pick play. The guy came into his running lane and he was being sandwiched by the corner. He didn't put his helmet down, he just hit him with his shoulder as the collision was already going to happen. It wasn't a dirty play, but definitely a very unfortunate one. 

    That last play couldn't have been more lucky or perfect. If you have a stronger armed QB, you would've had a boom boom catch-hit and game over. But you had Keenum...and we saw what happened. It was also perfect that you had both DBs take each other out.  

     

    Hahaha...you do know it was 17-0 into the 3rd quarter and it was 23-24 with 14 seconds left in the game right? If my team kicked your team's ass for 2+ quarters and your team kicks my team's ass for the last 1+ quarters that makes your team the better team? If they scored back and forth instead would that make a hard fought game?

    That last play happened so the D didn't get called for PI, the Vikes get one more play because it was on the defense, field goal, game over. The defender panicked but with good reason. You can whine all you want about it but if there is any team out there that deserves this to finally go their way.....FINALLY GO THEIR WAY, it's the Vikings! I still remember the Cinderella story NO did for their last Superbowl. Lucky, absolutely, but that's part of winning it all and the stars are lining up for my Vikings!

     

    SKOOOOOOLLLL LOLL!!!
