InHeavenThereIsNoBeer Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 In NYC, they had the football team's playoff game on the screens at the pre-game party. You'd be surprised how into the game the "hockey-only" fans were 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a great idea to have a football watch party in Vegas. Potential missed opportunity if they do not do anything. Likely going to be a decision that will have to be made by Midco due to logistics, unless they can find an easy way to stream WatchBigSky or Pluto.

Siouxperfan7 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Maybe I missed it, but has UND released pregame party info/gatherings for fans in Vegas next weekend? If so, can someone post it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nodak651 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Got an email reply - looks like they will try to do what they can with the football game. "Thanks for the question. We are going to try and show the UND football game on the large video board at the pre-game party. We don’t have all of the technical issues resolved yet, but we are trying to do that. With the 2:00 pm game time in Grand Forks, the game will occur from 12 noon to 3 pm in Las Vegas. With a 2:00 pm opening time for the tailgate party, we hope to catch the latter parts of the second half of the football game in Vegas. We’ll miss the 12 noon to 2 pm portion, but we hope to have the latter parts of the game on the video board. We’ll update www.Vegas18.com if we get that squared away." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said it was not going to happen. Which it isn't. I also said "Eventually you may see throwback references to the Sioux name on jerseys" and that it would happen "Some day."

jdub27 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Guessing there is also a specific difference in wearing them in an exhibition game vs. an official NCAA game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article Brad wrote says UND will wear the jerseys during an exhibition game, yet the 1959 team isn't actually being honored until 2 weeks later against CC. Not hard to connect the dots to see the correlation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a national highlight game vs gooftown in throwback threads would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
