InHeavenThereIsNoBeer Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Why is this all of the sudden a bad fan base if we don't go to cincy in droves? This isn't an Omaha which we knew about 6-8 months in advance. This isn't a huge hub of fan base location like Minneapolis and Denver. The only regionals that I can remember there being thousands of UND fans at were Denver and Minneapolis. Like last weeks conversation of every game being a home game, I believe that where there is a local fan base, there will be a huge draw. If there are 1000 Sioux fans at the game(hopefully games) I would be tickled green. I seem to remember last year expecting quite a bit of fans to be in Grand Rapids. There was what, maybe 200?? Flights to Denver from Bismarck are running around 200 rt right now and were in Feb too. I know quite a few who flew. I myself have my own reasons for not going, money being one of them. This does not make me a bad fan and UND's fans a bad fan base. I'm sorry that the fan bus didn't work out, but hey, maybe next time(as in 2 weeks for the natty). No one said you or anyone else is a bad fan...easy now Quote
gfhockey Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 I just think a lot of us know this team isn't capable of going all the way we barely got in why waste money on more then likely us getting one and done that is haks fortay anyways Quote

Pretend you seen nothing and just feel sorry for him! Quote
MafiaMan Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Nobody reply to this idiot now! Pretend you seen nothing and just feel sorry for him! Unbelievable. The NCHC tournament was just a smoke screen to come to Minneapolis, get drunk, and have some fake b00bies rubbed in his face. Wouldn't surprise me at all if he didn't even take in a game... 1 Quote

geneva6 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 We will make it four fans then--drove from Minneapolis to Indianapolis last night and heading to Cincy on Friday morning. 1 Quote
mksioux Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 With less than a week to prepare and make arrangements, the only way you will see a lot of Sioux fans at a regional is if it is within a reasonable driving distance from Grand Forks or near a large alumni base like Denver or Minneapolis. That's the way it's always been as long as I've been a fan. Nothing has changed with the fan base. Quote
ibleedgreen Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Denver is easy? I have to find out which route you take?! 14-15 hours through SD, NE, and Eastern Colorado is not my idea of a fun day Is one turn too much for you? No one said it was supposed to be a fun trip. But when you can set your cruise and basically fall asleep....any easier and you would be flying there. Quote

But when you can set your cruise and basically fall asleep....any easier and you would be flying there. I prefer the scenic route of HWY 85 through the black hills. Lots of turns on that one.....

I would rather be winding through some mountains, lakes, trees, signs of life etc. to look at and keep me occuppied if I'm driving that far. The problem with a drive being so easily you can basically fall asleep is just that, you could fall asleep! Seriously though, I hate Nebraska after driving back & forth from school in Colorado Springs multiple times a year. The only semblance of a landmark is that random museum bridge right in the center of the state. Quote

The only semblance of a landmark is that random museum bridge right in the center of the state. Ha! That bridge is in Kearney, where I did most of undergrad. North central Nebraska is actually incredibly beautiful, with expansive rolling hills. If you cut across South Dakota part way and then drive south through central Nebraska, it's WAY better (and doesn't add much time). The Platte River Valley, through which I-80 goes, it quite possibly the most boring drive in the US. But, if you do prefer the 'one-turn' route, sunflower seeds are your best friend. Multiple cross-country road trips have taught me that, even if copious amounts of caffeine can't do the trick, the process of breaking open the seeds is generally enough to stay awake. Quote

Mahpiya Icahtagya Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Lack of interest? I still hope the every game's a home game rule applies in Cincy! It'll be a home game but that's cause it'll be 70 fans for the first game, 200 from Wisconsin and 500 from UND (me included but I just have an hour and half to go). Had Miami made it, there would have been maybe another 8-900 Quote
