SiouxScore Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 I know they mention Union can't offer athletic scholarships but does anyone really believe those guys aren't getting a decent amount of their school paid for through other scholarships and ways? 2 Quote
keikla Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 A few thoughts from the Frozen Four in general: 1) This was an amazing set of games. All three of them were exciting nail-biters. Even with the Sioux losing, I can't remember the last Frozen Four that was so entertaining as a whole. I'm glad there was a loud and full crowd for tonight's game. 2) If the Sioux didn't win, thank God Union did. The thought of a Minn-BC final (or a championship for either team) made me want to yak. Major props to Union. For a team that is renowned for their defensive style, who would have thought they'd win two run-and-gun type games. And I just saw on the Twitters (per Schloss) that Union hadn't lost since January. Wow. 3) What a tool move by Condon to ignore Bodie's handshake after the ceremonial puck drop. 4) The college hockey season is over... Quote

brianvf Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 Congrats to Union. Have to like a team winning their first title, and to beat the Gophers in the process is just the icing on the cake. Have to think that Union takes a pretty decent step back next season. They lose a decent amount of seniors, plus you have to think a few of their juniors (like Gostisbehere) will bolt for the pros.

SiouxScore Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 At least Gopher fans will be able to use the old stand by line they have always used against the Sioux when they lose about the older players that Union had. Quote

SiouxScore Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 The "no scholarships" thing is a bunch of bs ......there's ways around that. That's what we were talking about it is just annoying to hear those announcers try to use that when a team like Union wins. Yeah they are a great story but don't act like those players have to pay their full tuition just to go there and don't get some kind of money to play there. Quote
runaroundsioux Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 That just made the plane ride home tomorrow alot more tolerable. Thank you Union. Justice has been served. Quote
dagies Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 Sagard, I'd be lying if I said that I'm disappointed the gophers lost, but I am sorry for good guys like you. Heck of a run, and a heck of a game Thursday night. Quote

For guys like him, I am sorry that their fav. squad lost tonight. Quote

siouxweet Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 The "no scholarships" thing is a bunch of bs ......there's ways around that. absolutely, I was a swimmer at a D3 school which is the same with no scholarships and there are ways around it. I had most of my expeneses covered in grants, student loans and academic scholarships. of a 15k bill for one year all but 2k as covered and with others most if not all was covered. Quote
Godsmack Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 The "no scholarships" thing is a bunch of bs ......there's ways around that. I just played in a tournament in Winnipeg this weekend and I asked a guy who played varsity hockey for Union and he said that scholarships can be given to non-US (aka, Canadian student athletes).

Popular Post Prison_Mike Posted April 13, 2014 Popular Post Posted April 13, 2014 Kare11 news in minneapolis is covering a riot watch. It looks like a few hundred kids have blocked off 4th street Minneapolis is becoming the Vancouver of the midwest. If they riot after making to the National Championship game imagine if they finally win the Beef O' Brady Bowl. They'd burn the city to the ground. 7 Quote

For that...I thank you sir. Great screen name by the way. Quote
MissSioux85 Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 At least Gopher fans will be able to use the old stand by line they have always used against the Sioux when they lose about the older players that Union had. Apparently Lucia made a comment about Union players being 24/25. In reality, the average age of the teams is fairly close For the record @DanBarreiroKFAN here is your average age for union/gophers. Not quite 24 year olds as Lucia said pic.twitter.com/bBbYWPibkq— DHG (@UmdPenaltyBox) April 13, 2014 Quote
Esoteric Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 Sad situation. Over-reaction by military force on students. A little better response by police could diffuse situation. But students are being clearly rounded up like cattle. I believe on keeping order but this could have gotten ugly. Quote
Godsmack Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 A buddy of mine (Gopher fan), went to the FF. While I feel bad for him, I won't lie, I'm relieved that they lost tonight because he-and a few ex's-would've really let me have it had the Gophers won. 1 Quote

MafiaMan Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 I saw plenty of Union College in the past three years including all three of this year's tournament games - this was a solid team all the way around. I had a feeling Minnesota was in trouble tonight...and they were indeed. Quote

I had a feeling Minnesota was in trouble tonight...and they were indeed. That's because you keep showing up in my basement to watch college hockey...like last night!! Quote
Oxbow6 Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 I have no problem saying I slept great last night after watching that final game. And it was funny how my phone didn't "ping" much either! 2 Quote
