bang--Agree, that does seem very odd. Kind of hard to coach and be 100% into a game when you're Tweeting I would think?

Ahh, my bad. Referenced the wrong name. Maybe Sodbusters for new UND name?

Agree, she helped a player get up today that she knocked over near half-court. Does seem like a nice/friendly player even in the heat of competition.

So, any clue as to the attendance figures by individual games at the Xcel for the NSCC? You would think with the Goofers in it (home away from home game at the Ralph East) and 3 other Minn teams from within 90 min - 3 hours away minimum would be 8k - 10k fans a game. Hell, the Sioux would pack 5k fans minimum alone.

I agree with Mafia Man. The Beavers beat us in game 1 this season and, as stated, they always seem to play us tough at the Ralph. I gotta think Lake Inferior State and Niagara were worst teams this season at the Ralph, let alone in the last decade.

Nah (live in EGF), just joshing you cus you won money. Congrats on the winnings!

Stewie--I assume they're sold, texted you 2x but no reply?

Hey, how's my old bud/great guy Sodbuster doing!?

Well, duh, we're located just 75 minutes from the Canadian border! That aside though, take a look at the Fighting Sioux roster, numerous US stars/players--McIntyre, Parks, J Schmaltz, N Schmaltz, Poolman, LaDue, Ausmus, L Johnson, T Olson,St Clair, Panzarella, Poganski, Gaarder, Simonson, ...

Fire Sandy!

Well put In Hvn There Is No Beer.

Yah. To ref "veteran" status, fine, but to specifically count how many players are over age 21 is looking for excuses--typical.

Nobody on this year's team is even close to Huff. Even on off-nights, Huff excelled at defense.

Good question??? So, you can get it at $1.75 a gln in Fargo and we're a qtr more! Typical of the GF market!

Yah, likely he would have had no better pro career either way but not NHL caliber I assume so as a non-hockey player but admittedly a huge Sioux fan if I was in his shoes I'd rather be a sr at UND with 12K adoring fans and a shot at a national title vs playing in front of I'm guessing a few thousand folks for nothing that really matter (okay, make some money) in the minors. That's just me though, others may think/value things differently--understood.

Uh, I'm positive they won't look past CC.

God, can't believe I'm saying this but gotta admit you're probably right Mariucci. Somebody shoot me now.

What wings?

Well, after the debacle against Bemidji St at home, near loss/miracle win vs AF, and poor start/early 3-0 deficit vs Lake Superior St in Fri game the Sioux have no reason in hell to look past anyone. If anyone's learned their lesson it has to be the UND hockey team. And if they ain't learned their lesson yet, bad on them.

Snake makes a valid point. It seems under Hakstol most years (last year maybe the best example) we're always having to make a run come the new year to right the ship.

17?! Wowza, that's absolutely incredible when you consider a college hockey career only lasts 4 seasons!

Go Pack, go.....uh, where? Home!

Well, I'm old and I'm still bitter about that '75 playoff loss! No doubt Drew Pearson pushed off on Nate Wright. Although the Vikes made 4 SBs (all losses) in what, a 9 year period 4 decades ago, Bud said his best team was the '75 team that obviously didn't make the SB that season. I would argue the two other two best Vikes teams ever besides the '75 team also never made the SB; the 1998 team (lost in OT to Atl on some bad coaching & a missed 40 yd fg) and the 2009 team (lost to NO, aka "bounty gate")..

Wasn't that so called 'brawl' near the end of the Goofers - Wisco game typical of U of Minnie? I'm not so sure in this so called "brawl" I saw one glove dropped by a Goofer to square up with someone (or by Wisco too for that matter)? It looked more like Dirty Dancing or rasslin'. Yah, a lot of poo-pah but really in the end o lot of nothing (not that I condone fighting in hockey).
