YaneA Posted November 3, 2003 Author Share Posted November 3, 2003 undhockey5: No, I don't mind at all if you want to make those signs. I have already printed the Crappie/Crappy one and others on my initial list that have gotten at least one "vote" here. Given my sign-making experience, my only suggestion to you would be to use large enough print (between 500 and 600-point type--lettering about 5 or 6 inches tall-- can be seen across ice).

YaneA Posted November 3, 2003 Author Share Posted November 3, 2003 No, I haven't made the ones you listed yet so go ahead. "7 > 5" is what comes to most people's minds about the difference in the number of championships. Or you could change it to " 5 < 7" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YaneA Posted November 3, 2003 Author Share Posted November 3, 2003 The polls will remain open through the week so you can still vote for the sign you'd like to see in the arena. Forecheck & redwing: If I bring the signs to you again during warmups on Friday, will you find them good homes? Someone willing to hold them up at an appropriate time and bring them back the next night? Can we get the guy behind the penalty box to cooperate again with the thought bubbles and caption signs? Redwing: Do you still have the "That call sucks" sign? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesotaNorthStar Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 Can we get the guy behind the penalty box to cooperate again with the thought bubbles and caption signs? Yes, I will cooperate again. I've been getting great responses from people I don't even know about the Yale ones (They recognized me from the TV/Big Screen) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YaneA Posted November 3, 2003 Author Share Posted November 3, 2003 Thanks, Northstar. When I got home, I re-wound the tape & heard comments about you & the Tools and I'm with Stupid sign. "The guy behind the penalty box is at it again..." Sweeney said. Figures he wouldn't understand the Beckett reference but the people sitting in front on me got it. Thanks, everybody, who made a suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fargosioux Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 How about a knockoff of that Minnesota "State of Hockey" logo. I was thinking about a sign that that replaces the outline of Minnesota with the outline of North Dakota. A phrase could read "North Dakota - The REAL State of Hockey". Then at the bottom it could say something like "UND - winning NCAA Championships since 1959". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesotaNorthStar Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 Yane...yeah, I've had to explain the Beckett thing to quite a few people in the last few days. fargosioux...being Minnesotan I'm going to have to say nay to the Real State of Hockey sign. The winning championships since 1959 is good though What about using Erick's pic with the Caddyshack reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WPoS Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 How about this: North Dakota: Where men are men, women have mustaches, and buffalo run scared? Here come the rocks! WPoS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undhockey5 Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 remember woog's little Mr. Rogers skit where he said "Can you say three-peat?" What do you think about making one that says something like "Can you say Tank?" or "Can you say choke?" no or yes?? anything better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggler Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 A "Kiss Cam" sign for when two Gophers are in the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forecheck Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 I agree, jo, but I know some hockey players' Moms and I don't think THEY would find it funny. Better we censor ourselves than have security do it. I still say you go with I got 2:00 for hooking but mom got 5. It's not like you're saying it about the SIOUX parents. Besides, you'd hope they would have a sense of humor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND33 Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 Here are a few ideas, they arent exactly "finished" and you all have great ideas so I thought you could add your two cents to these ideas. Thanks, keep up the good work. For a gopher in the penalty box: Loser- noun. one who is incompetent or unable to succeed; somebody who is unsuccessful or unlucky and is destined to fail repeatedly. See Also (and then an arrow pointing down to the player OR...thought bubble that say... oh! my baloney has a first name its G-O-P-H-E-R... my baloney has a second name its H-O-C-K-E-Y... OR...a sign that says: Bring on the elephants, the clowns (insert UofM logo here) are already here OR....signs that have anything to do with gopher traps (penalty boxes!), Rodent bait... or road kill??? Sorry the ideas arent finished...just thought I would throw some out there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggler Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 I like that one Rube. That would be hillarious. That baloney one strikes a bit to close to my heart though, I don't so much like that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01grad Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 What ever happened to just simply throwing a gopher on the ice? I threw one out there in 1998. Remember the live gopher that somebody snuck through the back smoking doors in a cage and threw on the ice that ran around for awhile? Maybe security is too tough in the new arena, I don't know.

Smoggy Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 YandA: I loved the 1-800 ones. Something about a missing boy when he's in the penalty box would be funny. Also, the caddyshack and slapshot references are great. UND33: I liked the clowns idea, but I think it needs some treaking. Maybe something with another team name. I just got home and have been laughing for 20 minutes straight. I even laughed at WPoS. Is that wrong of me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggler Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 Or the gopher that exploded when it hit the ice. That was disgusting. Not one Gopher has been tossed on the ice at the new arena. I doubt one will be tossed this year either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01grad Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 Anybody still do this chant... Just like we did to the Bison... F the Gophers, F the Gophers, F the Gophers up the a** Raise your glasses kick some a**es F the Gophers up the a** I'm a Gopher, I'm a Gopher, I'm a Gopher kick my a** Drink a dozen, F your cousin, I'm a Gopher kick my a**. Oh wait, I guess you can't swear at the games anymore. Or just make these signs you are talking about and put them on the glass behind the penalty box so we can see them down here on tv.

01grad Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 Hey diggs, any flies in that new arena yet this year? I just remember that the seats in the new arena aren't as forgiving as the old benches when you are drunk and fall forward three rows as I did a few times. Man, I wish I was still up there. This will be the second year in a row I haven't seen the Gophers play up there. Remember the couch burning that smoked the Gophers out of the locker room? That is my fondest Gopher/Sioux memory ever. Does anybody still try to throw snowballs when they get off the bus, or is it too difficult with the new tunnel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01grad Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 How about just a simple sign held up to the glass that says, "Briggs your mom was great!"? Nothing too fancy, or you could pick on another player. (especially if his mom is in town) Just yell out, "Your mom or him for that matter is so easy to score on it's like throwing a hot dog down a hallway, parking a bicycle in an airplane hanger or throwing a toothpick down a hallway." (courtesy of Deuce Bigelow) Be careful though, because these are things I used to yell while hanging over the glass and a few pucks were shot at me sometimes.

01grad Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 Oh yeah, I also want to hear the beer polka cheer on television. Make it loud!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01grad Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 You could piss off Gopher fans that are watching on television by imitating their rouser, spelling North Dakota. I'm sure they stole some of our cheers such as the funnel, vacuum, blackhole sieve cheer. And after the anthem, home of the SIOUX! It seems to me that everybody is now doing it. Did they copy us? Who had that first anyway? Who originated most of these cheers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
