747Guy Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 This poor guy had to go and create a website to display articles on his jealousy of the Fighting Sioux program. Enjoy!!!! http://www.ryanbowman.net/gopherhockey/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottM Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 I've hit the site a few times in the past. It's usually good for a laugh or two. Then again, it never ceases to amaze me how people spend Saturday nights by themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagies Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Actually, I think we SHOULD have a banner that says 7>5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottM Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Actually, I think we SHOULD have a banner that says 7>5. Not a bad idea, except it would hopelessly confuse SCCC fans, since they've never been on either side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jojordan23 Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Yeah, I am the Sioux fan who stated that "championship goalies" have .920 save percentages. I was misquoted, as I was repeating something I heard on the radio. Tim Hennessey said that goalies who have .920 save percentages win championships, or at least, they SHOULD. The "Adam Hauser thing" this guy is refering to is from when I was taking shots at every Sioux fans favorite Gopher goalie, the one and only, "how do ya like me now", HUMAN SIEVE himself!!!! Apparently, this guy took offense to my poking fun at ol' Adam, so he had to write this article. I have to commend him for his research with all those other goal-tenders' save percentages, though. He IS right about one thing though, I did say that Adam Hauser only won because of the team in front of him, and I won't EVER retract that statement.

I doubt the author's taking "offense" does not compare to you getting in a huff over a funny piece of work, and then seeing fit to defend yourself here. BTW: Were you the one to get hauled down by the cops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kr Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 UND: consistently winning titles: 50's, 60's, 80's, 90's, 00's -------- what more needs to be said, well ......... 7 titles over a span of 5 decades or 5 titles over 2 decades, (23 years removed)? Don't get me wrong, back to back titles is awesome and it is a difficult feat, and should be loudly applauded --- and I wish UND had been able to accomplish it in 2001 --- but, I think the fact that UND has had championship teams in almost every decade since the inception of the NCAA championship game is something which is beyond compare. (FYI: Michigan won the first championship game in 1948 (40's,50's,60's,90's) and BC won the 2nd one in 1949 (40's,00's), Wisconsin's were in 70's,80's,90's) No wonder the Gopher fans can be a "little" antagonistic, it would be hard to have a team, which was consistantly good or better than good, that failed for 26 years to reach the pinnacle, then get their hopes up and win 3 in quick succession, only to have to wait 23 more years for the next one/two --- especially when teams like UND and Wisconsin kept on winning on a consistent basis.

ScottM Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Frankly, I think anybody who got bent out of shape over that little article, really needs to lighten up a bit. Quite a bit, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
747Guy Posted October 22, 2003 Author Share Posted October 22, 2003 C'mon ScottM I was really trying to get the pot stirred up for the season opener with the Rodents from Minnehopeless. I agree we should not get bent on this, but I think it is a clear point of the envy some/all Gopher fans have of the FIGHTING SIOUX and the tradition of hockey excellence in Grand Forks!

Nah, I'll take our tradition of winning before UND even had a hockey program anyday! Count a few of the big wins before the inception of the NCAA and you may be a bit less vocal! The site in question is always good for a laugh! Even if you are not a Gopher fan! WPoS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WPoS Just because I'm too lazy to search the internet and find out, but how MANY teams were around before the Sioux? I'm talking college and not semi-pro teams here.

sioux fan in phoenix Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Have you ever heard of satire, 747? Have you ever heard of pathological jealousy? That stuff's funny on a jr. high school level... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goon Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Have you ever heard of satire, 747? North Dakota Ralph Englestad has passed on, but his legacy lives on with the largest structure in Dakota Territory - Englestad Arena. When they aren't playing hockey, they're stealing pull tabs and printing money. This year it is expected that they will be rotating nine goalies. And if they all fail, somehow, some way, Dean Blais will find some random goalie from the depths of Northern Saskatchewan and make him "eligible" in mid-season. Here is the Skillz take on the Fighting Sioux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagies Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 ....our tradition of winning before UND even had a hockey program anyday! Well....that explains how you could have had a winning tradition at that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WPoS Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Well....that explains how you could have had a winning tradition at that time. And in case you are wondering the Gophs have two more national titles prior to NCAA... Just because I'm too lazy to search the internet and find out, but how MANY teams were around before the Sioux? I'm talking college and not semi-pro teams here. I know the Gopher started the winning tradition at least in 1922, when North Dakota had a population of 82 ( and 42654 buffalo) and was still a territory...

WPoS Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Have you ever heard of pathological jealousy? That stuff's funny on a jr. high school level... Is that why the UND fans constantly have to tell Gopher fans that they have more banners!?!?? Sound like a bit of jealousy on UND fans' part if you ask me!

I wasn't actually trying to defend myself, but I guess it came off that way. But what guy getting hauled down by the cops are you talking about? I know for a fact it wasn't me, but this sounds like a good story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoteauRinkRat Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Gophers won 2 before the NCAA's. Didn't they beat Phoenix Community College in the championship, who represented the rest of the the schools in the country who had hockey?
