Let'sGoHawks! Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 I still don't know why gopherz hasn't answered my question to him that I posted over at GPL... About him having 1000 more posts here than he does over there, even with almost identical join dates. Must be some sort of programmed, weird obsession by her... Quote
MafiaMan Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 If the Gophers beat MSU this weekend a 7-5(4-4) regular season record is a lock. Impossible to predict the bowl game without knowing the opponent but 8-5 isn't out of the question like you say. I'm not bragging about our football program but a UND fan mentioning football as a jab to a fan of a Big Ten school is funny. And you say those two had better improvement from year two to three than Brewster has but thats because he did MUCH better than they did in year two. Plus Brewster can still have a better year three than two, we dont know yet. I'm not comparing UND football to Minnesota. That's apples to oranges and, even though I'm a big Sioux hockey guy, I've never been one to brag about D-II or FCS football. If you think the Gophers are going 3-1 the rest of the way minus Decker, well, good luck with that. Secondly, you mention that Kirk Ferentz worked out pretty well. Rewind your DVR recordings from ESPN College Gameday last January after bowl week and through a few of the past offseasons and you'll see many Iowa fans were calling for Ferentz's head on a platter. Same thing with Randy Shannon from Miami, and now they're practically building a monument to him outside of Landshark Stadium. Quote

If you think the Gophers are going 3-1 the rest of the way minus Decker, well, good luck with that. I never predicted that. But Illinois and South Dakota State at home are wins. A win over MSU at home and that's 7 wins overall with a bowl game pending. It's not probable but it's not far fetched either. Quote

You realize that Decker's not playing, right? Quote
buckysieve Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 You did earlier by saying that if they beat MSU, that 8-5 is a "lock." You realize that Decker's not playing, right? Read it again. I said if they beat MSU then 7-5(4-4) is a lock with the bowl game being unpredictable without knowing the ooponent. Quote
MafiaMan Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 Read it again. I said if they beat MSU then 7-5(4-4) is a lock with the bowl game being unpredictable without knowing the ooponent. Got my math wrong, yes, 7-5 on the season, but you weren't predicting a win against MSU tomorrow, so you're kinda saying 6-6. I'm still confused... Quote
Siouxmama Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 Chants: What ever happened to "Give the ref a wife, so he don't screw us!" Don't think I've heard that since ... well, a long time ago. Quote

redwing77 Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 First off, making a bowl game isn't an accomplishment when what.. 1 MAYBE 2 of the Big 10 cannot make one every year? Heck, even Mason made bowl appearances for the Gophers and he was awful. Seriously, yeah, I'm a playoff kindof guy but that will never happen. Since that is the case, the NCAA should decrease the number of bowl games to the point where they actually..just maybe... MEAN SOMETHING. If you want to have a lot of bowl games, just decrease the bowl games to the BCS ones and then make the conference finals a bowl game. Yeah, some (maybe most) of the BCS bowl bound teams will play in two bowl games, but who the hell cares. Beats watching Minnesota vs. Hawaii. Heh... make fun of the Gophers but I DEFY you to say GO RAINBOW WARRIORS with a straight face. Second, I've never heard of that chant, Siouxmama. But I have heard the "HEY REF, GET OFF YER KNEES YOU'RE..." etc. Quote
thecircus Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 I have not read through all of the posts on this thread so if I am repeating I am sorry. Crowd chants and crowd activity in general is IMO the responsibility of the cheer team. Our Sioux hockey team has a cheer team and from this fan's perspective are useless. they are prettyOK, maybe not useless, but ... A friend of mine atended Kansas State for grad school after finishing up his undergrad at UND. Apparently, at KSU (and I'm sure countless other schools) students MUST attend "Cheer Orientation" before they are eligible for the purchase of student tickets. This was true for all sports. The cheerleaders took it upon themselves to teach the cheers to the incoming freshmen who wanted to attend Wildcat games. I've always thought that this sort of thing could and should be implemented at UND. Also, newer more clever cheers could come out of this program. Quote

Siouxmama Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 The cheer I mentioned was used at games at LRJC (or what ever it's called now...Lake Region College, UND-LR, maybe?) It went like this: Give the ref a wife, give the ref a wife, give the ref a wife so he don't screw us! Wish I could remember some more, a couple got us booted from the games though. Quote
johnsowe Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 We have a cheer team?!? Yes they are the ones that entertain the team, I mean the crowd. Quote
siouxforeverbaby Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 Yes they are the ones that entertain the team, I mean the crowd. you mean the ones that skate around and then fall on the ice when they forget to step up to get off the ice? and then run up and down the stairs to smile and clap? and the ones who wonder why drunk college guys lean over to look up their skirts? They are funny! Quote

siouxforeverbaby Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 Oh!?! I didn't know they were a cheer team. Not sure what I thought they were..... I would take a guess at that....but since the board is supposed to be family friendly and there is no way to keep it PG...i will just leave it to your imagination. Quote

They are funny! OK, I know the cheer team is a bit of a joke and they are only really in it to be seen. How about the band then. I bet those crazy bastards could come up with some funny stuff to teach the kids/ Quote

Ok, this I've heard before but you substitute goat for wife. And I've heard it using screw and the f bomb too.... though the f bomb version I only heard at the Old Ralph. Quote
The Whistler Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 . A friend of mine atended Kansas State for grad school after finishing up his undergrad at UND. Apparently, at KSU (and I'm sure countless other schools) students MUST attend "Cheer Orientation" before they are eligible for the purchase of student tickets. This was true for all sports. I'm sure at Kansas that's considered Higher Education. Do they offer a major in cheer? Quote
Vegas_Sioux Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 I know its not possible with midco to watch the world series in HD but out in Salisbury it is. And the language used by the Phillies fans directed towards the Yankees makes the Sioux games look like a Sunday church social. I bring up the HD because the sound is so much clearer. It's quite easy to tell what the fans are saying. Quote
dhageremtp Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 nuts and bolts, nuts and bolts, we got screwed. I have always liked the (insert name) Whos he, he sucks. and after the goalie: (insert name) Whos he, he really sucks! I also think the best end of game cheer after a win is the jingle keys and chant start the bus. Quote
Goon Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Oh!?! I didn't know they were a cheer team. Not sure what I thought they were..... My buddy from Canada calls them a dying bread. Quote

Siouxdonyms Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Thinking of HD where the heck has David K been lately? He's at home watching his 19 inch black and white, convincing himself that HD is overrated, and does not actually make hockey better to watch. Quote
