Anderson2200

I just went to Scheels Arena to place a ticket at will call. The kid behind the window, somehow confused, handed me an envelope with 4 SRO tickets in it with the names ANDERSON-RICHIE on the envelope (they were not mine, I was dropping off, not picking up). ANDERSON-RICHIE, if you are reading this, Scheels Arena literally handed me your weekend, free of charge.... but I gave them back. Scary.

So basically we have to hope that at least 1 school that doesn't travel very well gets placed in Fargo and doesn't buy up all of their allotment, and then we have to be willing to camp out outside of Scheels Arena (or go online if we want to be risky) at a TBD date IF there are any left for sale

I'd like to get the discussion rolling about the small number of tickets that are still being held for the 4 "yet to be named" schools who will play at the Scheels Arena. When will they become available, how many are there, who will be selling them, are they for students of those schools, etc. Anyone associated with Scheels Arena or knows the process, please feel free to enlighten us...

Now we know the web feed is at least 45 seconds off

I have to echo your frustrations. I went online, was presented with 2 tickets, tried to buy them and they were GONE. I'm sure there's a perfectly good explanation as to why the servers couldn't handle the amount of traffic and yada yada but I don't care, and had I known I could get them before 11 am, I too would have shown up at the arena!

PM me if you want to sell......

And every Gopher fan I know texted me saying they got theirs...

I got in right at 11. The screen I saw said there were none available, but I didn't leave the screen. At 11:10 I tried to buy again and this time it was successful. I tried to purchase the 2 tickets that were "available to me" but by the time I hit submit, they were gone BS!

Well put. ".6" doesn't bother me because it isn't indicative of any fault of our tender or anyone else on the team. Bounce of the puck didn't go our way that time. The t-shirts are certainly a chuckle, that's for sure.

The only thing I will remember about the 2013-2014 season is how hard our boys played and how proud I am to be a Sioux fan for life. Your little ".6" and "Blake Wheeler diving tap-in" moments are part of the game, part of the rivalry, and have no affect on how I look back on my team.

Top excuses I've been hearing so far this week: "Union is an old team; our studs leave too early"... 16 draftees vs 1 and UND has had the same issues for years, sorry that doesn't hold up "East Refs were biased"... same refs all tourney long, there are good breaks and bad breaks "we dominated the game except for that 3 minute window"... sorry bud, the numbers don't lie, and that's irrelevant anyways "we were too crazed by our whooping of the Sioux's ass 2 nights before"... stupid on so many levels and not even worth my time to respond MN played the Championship game with everything they had and came up short. It was one of the best Frozen Fours I've ever seen/endured. The whiners will whine, but regardless Union deserves to be called the Best in the Nation.

While they came up short on banner 6, at least they have those cute little ".6" t-shirts Saturday night in pictures:
