Blackheart Posted December 6, 2010 Posted December 6, 2010 Great job! Just wondering, who is the player with the blood trickling down his nose, and what's his story? Is he a legend? Thanks! Reg Morelli...he got that after scoring the game winning goal in the '59 final against Mich St...his own player did it to him as I understand... Quote
Big A HG Posted December 6, 2010 Author Posted December 6, 2010 Great job! Just wondering, who is the player with the blood trickling down his nose, and what's his story? Is he a legend? Thanks! That is the great Reggie Morelli who currently still resides in Minot. Reg scored the game winning goal in OT of the championship game to give UND its first NCAA Championship ever. Reggie wore #16 that year, until January that is, where he got into a scrum in Minnesota against the Gophers. His jersey got tossed into the stands, losing it for the remainder of the season. He then wore #19 the rest of the season. The missing #16 jersey was gone, and pretty much forgotten, until the Morelli's received a phone call a couple years ago from a mysterious person, who wanted to know if Reggie was still alive and if he resided at the same address still. A couple weeks later, the jersey showed up in the mail and they didn't know who or where it came from. He is a Sioux hockey legend for sure. I think the pic where you see Reggie on the shoulders of his teammates with the bridge of his nose bleeding is one of the most defining pictures in Fighting Sioux hockey history. Quote
Bob in Wisconsin Posted December 6, 2010 Posted December 6, 2010 Great thanks! Yeah, now I remember the story of the missing jersey, it was either posted on here or a story in the Herald. Great story! Quote
bigdog58701 Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 Big you do an awesome job on those wallpapers I can not wait to see the new one for next month. The story on Morelli is great to hear too, he bowls on one of the leagues that I bowl on here in minot and is a great person. Quote
Big A HG Posted December 25, 2010 Author Posted December 25, 2010 Awesome. I'm trying to become a good bowler myself. I've obviously bowled before, but took my first steps into getting serious about it this fall. For a relative newbie to the bowling scene, I'll take my mid-upper 170 average. My goals for this year (which are steep, but doable) are to finish with a 185 average and to get a 700 series. Quote

I have met Reg on a few occassions.Great guy. His son Matt,who also played for the Sioux,and I coached a AAA hockey team in the summer for 2 years. Reg has some great stories about the days gone by and he still has some pull with the university. He got me 4 Sioux/Gopher tix for the Jan.15 game. Oh and I too am looking forward to the January Sioux wallpaper.You do an awesome job on them.Thanks. Quote

tho0505 Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 Amazing wallpapers as usual, thanks again. Question: Where do you get the high resolution photos that you use for these background? Quote

bigdog58701 Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Big again another great month and another great picture keep up the good work Quote
siouxforce19 Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 It's unfortunate my old computer went to hell. The calendar would have looked nice. haha. I actually have a mac now since that was the spare computer in my family, so the dimensions won't work as well. But all is good, because I still got good ol Corban on my background representing for the month of January. Looks nice. Quote

But all is good, because I still got good ol Corban on my background representing for the month of January. Looks nice. What are your dimensions? What's funny is the Widescreen version still isn't wide enough for my own computer. Sometimes I make a quick one up that fits my needs, sometimes I don't. This month I just made sure my background was black and did the regular widescreen one and it works decent for what it is. Maybe next month I'll make a wider widescreen. Anyone else having sizing issues? Quote
duluthSioux Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Love the wallpaper this month, it really looks great! Thanks! Quote
thecircus Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 These are great! I just put my first Sioux hockey screen saver up at work ... anything to piss off the Husky faithful (I live/work in St. Clown). Beat 'em up this weekend Sioux! Quote

lystesioux Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 I'm waiting patiently for the release of February's wallpaper. Quote
Big A HG Posted January 31, 2011 Author Posted January 31, 2011 I'm waiting patiently for the release of February's wallpaper. I'm gonna be a day or two late with this one. Had a super busy weekend. My apologies. Quote
thecircus Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 I'm gonna be a day or two late with this one. Had a super busy weekend. My apologies. Can't wait! I had a fun January with my co-workers. February should be even better since we play the Clowns 2/18 & 2/19. BTW - Anyone coming down to St. Cloud for that series? It is usually a pretty fun one. Great downtown establishments. Quote
sioux rube Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 I'm gonna be a day or two late with this one. Had a super busy weekend. My apologies. I can wait an extra day. Love what you do. Quote
ecj Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 I just came across these wallpapers and thought they were so awesome that I registered for the board to tell you thanks! Outstanding work. You are gifted. I only wish I'd found them earlier in the season. I look forward to the forthcoming February one! Quote
