sprig Posted October 31, 2003 Posted October 31, 2003 PA & Dubay will be doing their show next Friday from the Ralph. Today they were at Grandma's in Duluth, getting heckled by the Penalty Box faithful. Quote
CoteauRinkRat Posted October 31, 2003 Posted October 31, 2003 I'm hoping to see a nice showing from the Sioux fans. Quote
tnt Posted October 31, 2003 Posted October 31, 2003 They don't offer any insight to college hockey as far as I'm concerned. Anyone that says the Sioux have no talent at defense like Dubay did at the start of last year isn't worth listening to when it comes to college hockey. The Sioux only had first, second, third, and fifth round draft picks playing for them at the time. Add Nick Fuhrer as a talent and that is a pretty good crop of defense. I would say that NHL scouts know talent when they see it. Needless to say, I won't be listening to those clowns. Quote

mksioux Posted October 31, 2003 Posted October 31, 2003 Dubay is the radio version of Happy. PA knows nothing about hockey...but at least he admits it. They're awfully tough to listen to when it comes to college hockey. Quote
sioux fan in phoenix Posted October 31, 2003 Posted October 31, 2003 These guys get paid for being goofy & outlandlish, kinda like Howard Stern but to a lesser degree. If they were dry & factual, they would lose listeners & be out of a job...Not that I would know coz I've never heard them, but that's what I gather from reading various posts... Quote

YOu are right, they know squat, and several gopher posters (happy being one) spew what they hear from Dubay. Total garbage, but worthy of the crap they got from the Penalty Box today and the Sioux next weekend. Another form of Ed Schultz, no need to have knowledge or half a brain, just be obnoxious and people listen. Quote
TheSiouxFan Posted October 31, 2003 Posted October 31, 2003 I found this pretty comical. http://www.in-forum.com/articles/index.cfm?id=43127 Quote
Goon Posted October 31, 2003 Posted October 31, 2003 Just a side note SD lets their residents hunt one weekend before the Non-resident pheasant hunters invade SD. So ND is not the only state that does this type of B.S. Quote

So ND is not the only state that does this type of B.S. As do Canadian provinces. 12" of snow here and yesterday was the last day of Ducktober. Mallards in an ice hole, which is iced over today and dux r gone. Quote
UMDDogz Posted October 31, 2003 Posted October 31, 2003 I wish I could have listened to the show today. It would have been great to hear the Penalty Box gang blast those Maroon and Gold bleeders!! Quote
UNDLAW Posted October 31, 2003 Posted October 31, 2003 Dubay is the radio version of Happy. Maybe he is Happy? That would explain a LOT!!! Quote

I am hoping there are going to be Geese available next weekend because we are suppose to go Goose hunting the morning of Deer opener... Quote

Yes, Northwestern ND, 12 inches of snow on Wednesday, temps didn't reach 20 today, and, single digits tonight. Geese were migrating out of Canada all day long yesterday. If you don't have the snow where you're planning to hunt, it should be good. Done for out here. Quote
Marty Posted November 1, 2003 Posted November 1, 2003 Granted P.A. and Dubay know nothing about hockey, but they are still hilarious to listen to. They have jobs that any sports fan would want though. How many other jobs do you get to talk about sports and rip on other teams. If I grow up and get a job like that I'll be thrilled. You don't have to agree with everything they say to like them. I listen to them and they rip on the Sioux whenever they talk about college hockey. They have a great way of talking about sports though in that they are like normal guys. If you watch ESPN you have to know a lot about the subject they're talking about because they go into such depth. P.A. and Dubay talk like normal beer drinking guys who know about as much as a human needs to know about sports. Quote
Goon Posted November 1, 2003 Posted November 1, 2003 Paul Allen is a decent football announcer for the Vikings,he is a homer but not irritating like the Blow Hard Fat Eddy "I shot my dog" Schultz. Dubay doesn't know much about sports at all, It is apparent by listening to him talk. I haven 't figured out what his claim to fame is, in fact I am not sure why he even is working filling in his role, maybe they didn't have anymore money to pay a real tallent. Dubay is nothing more than partisan fan, he can't see past his maroon and gold colored glasses. On the flip side I do think Allen does a great job covering the vikes but he has no hockey background at all. PA pretty much admits this though. Dubay's claim to fame is basically him is a blurb of him saying in his sqeaky voice saying I think so after the Gophers were able to win their first NCAA title in 23 years against Maine. I would love to be there at the ralph to mess with this clown but I will be hunting Deer in Devils Lake. Hey: its Deervember. Quote

The rest is spoonfed you through teleprompters. The exceptions being the shows that focus on the particular sport such as NHL tonight, Baseball tonight, etc. Don't be too quick to laud a station that has no respect for any sports outside of basketball, baseball, and football. Even when there isn't anything happening in those three sports, they'll still throw on worthless things like world series of poker, billiards, and that crap. I could care less about who is the premier mens or women's pro bowler. If I wanted to watch bowling I'd go to Red Ray lanes Quote

I happen to find the World Series of Poker very interesting by the way. Quote
oly1sioux Posted November 1, 2003 Posted November 1, 2003 Marty, is your real name PA or is it dubay , I know see ya in grand forks dubay i mean marty lets kiss a little more ase for 2 complete idiots Quote
CoteauRinkRat Posted November 1, 2003 Posted November 1, 2003 Last week Dubay said that at the end of last season UND couldn't beat their own grandma in a pickup game. LOL Quote
Greyeagle Posted November 1, 2003 Posted November 1, 2003 I somewhat surprised you guys get so worked up over these two clowns. The whole show (to me) is one big inside joke that is neither funny nor entertaining. They are basically just fallout due to the Body becoming guv. That being said.....they are head & shoulders above the dope that follows them. Ug, is Cole a tool. Quote
sprig Posted November 1, 2003 Author Posted November 1, 2003 I can't believe the FAN is actually broadcast over ND radio stations Course Ed Shultz is also on My reaction to them is that it's the same tired old stuff that is posted repeatedly by a few Gopher fans on USCHO. Quote
Shawn-O Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 Did I hear correctly that Dubay will be making an appearance at Southgate prior to the Friday game, from 4:30 to 6:30? If so, there's a great opportunity to needle and cajole for those of us that can't be at the broadcast from the Ralph. Can anyone confirm? Quote
