Minnesota isnt used to playing in full hockey arenas.....so there is one advantage. Not being in the same conference takes some of the flavor away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show Mr Mittlestadt, that even you average college beer drinker should be able to do a single pull-up, let along a drafted college athlete. Right. I'm a 41 year old 230 pound dad, and I can do 3-5 depending on the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Sweeney "In front of the benches, now. Look out! Here we go!" and then "You gotta pull out wider to catch it all!" Man, I miss Hexy. That dude could trash talk with the best of em. Listen to that frickin' crowd. Let's go. So sad lol. I miss Sweeney so badly!!! i remember that scrum. You only get a piece of it on this clip, but I remember Frattin had a Gopher in each hand and was jerking them both around like rag dolls. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over on USCHO they had a fan bragging about their 7-2-2 record against us in the last 11 games, so because of this "dominance" it's not much of a rivalry anymore. I'm not sure if they were joking. One of their other fans chimed in and said they hoped he was joking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the rivalry is probably a bit lower...we don't play these guys on a regular basis anymore and to me it's just another non-conference opponent. Still don't like the Gofs but really don't care that much about them now that they aren't in UND's conference. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxfan512 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 This rivalry has certainly cooled since the Big 10 started. But now that it is up an running again every year, if you get some close games, some dirty games, some back and forth games, and maybe some postseason games, it'll heat right back up. Unfortunately, it will probably never get back to where it was. That rivalry was great because we had a chance to play them up to 6 times in a season. That is a whole lot of rivalry hockey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NDSU is head and shoulders above UND in football(for now hopefully). In hockey, UND and UMN usually play exciting and competitive games with each team getting the upper hand at different times. Also, they both are usually top 10 in the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is pretty much the same. UND has moved on and so has the Gophers. They are now just another non-conference opponent that we need to beat to keep our ranking in the pairwise. This was proven pretty much last year down here at the 3M arena at Marriucci. The same people who say this is a huge rivalry are the same ones who wont move on from the Sioux nickname.. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you at Marriuci? Friday night was nuts and the crowd was going wild. I talked to Gopher fans who said it was the craziest atmosphere they've seen since the Big10 started and bemoaned the current state of their league because atmosphere was nothing like that weekend. So according to you, I haven't moved on from the Sioux nickname right? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it has lost some steam with a few years off (and it now being one non-conference series a year) but the building will be jumping more this weekend than our series with Denver. Until we are competitive the NDSU rivalry took a much bigger hit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are the tickets for this weekend worth 5x as much as most conference play? If it's not a rivalry you should tell the people that are paying 150 a seat 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozen4sioux Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 If its not a rivalry, why is it one of the only games they can fill marriuci for? and again if its just a plain game, SEND ME YOUR TICKETS Guck the Fophers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farce poobah Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 One way to define a rivalry game is "which one you want the most". Here in 2017, the ones I want the most are actually vs Denver. ---------------------------------------- From a Pairwise standpoint, more like how a coach might view it, the 4 games vs Wisconsin and Minnesota will go a very long way to determine NCAA/Pairwise rankings. Arguably the most important 4 games of the regular season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You couldn't fill the Alerus for any other game but if NDSU comes to town, I guarantee that the Alerus will be full. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
