bigmrg74 Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 Talked my in-laws who are big Sioux fans but live in Fargo and usually watch it on TV to come up next weekend so that's 2 more. Lets keep the ball rolling to get butts in the seats! Talked to some guys on the GV board and they're gonna have a good delegation here considering its a 14 hour drive and apparently they're not big on fan buses. They're making their own arrangements to pile into vehicles and make the llloonnngg roadtrip. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Its not that we're not big on fan buses, its just that amazingly, the University or the Alumni never really bother to put together a team bus for broke student types like myself. Sure wish they would. Oh well, 14 hours in a rented van can be all the more fun. Especially with some of the student bodies that GVSU has. Quote
YaneA Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 I think there is a lot of interest in this game. Al Pearson has cancelled the hockey trip to Houghton because people want to stay here and see the football team get its revenge against the Lakers. I'll be at the ticket window on Wednesday and will invite the neighbor kids to go with me to the game. There's 3 butts for you, though at my age, I think my butt ought to count double. Quote

Bulldog Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 Will it be televised over the internet? I for one would pay the $8.95 to watch it and so would many GLIAC fans. Quote
THE UND Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 There was a great group at Sensers in Rosedale to watch the Tech game. I spoke with the manager after the game and they have reserved a portion of the place for Sioux fans to watch on the big Plasma screen if the game is televised. Get to the game but if that's not possible the atmosphere at Joe Sensers is pretty good. Especially when the place is filled with Sioux Green. GO SIOUX!!!!!!! Quote
SiouxperDave Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 Oh well, 14 hours in a rented van can be all the more fun. My brother, a buddy and me roadied to Florence last year in a rented mini-van and it was a blast. The drive was almost as much fun as the game. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 A reason to fill the place: 10613 8441 10584 9212 11665 8301 8072 Total: 66888 Average: 9555 If UND draws 13112 on the 8th home date that'll be an average of 10000 for the season. The last 10000+ average for the season was 2001. Quote
SiouxMeNow Posted November 22, 2004 Author Posted November 22, 2004 The UC-Davis game in '01 was televised and still drew a huge house but that game wasn't on a holiday weekend and that's what I'm worried about. Dave has a legit excuse and I hope it works out for his sake IF IT'S ON and anyone who stays home to watch it on TV instead of going is NUTS!! This could be the biggest game the Al has hosted since ndsWHO? bailed out of the league because they couldn't beat the Sioux. On a postive "note" (get it?) - sounds like the students will be able to put together a pep band so that's good but don't have enough for the marching band Quote
The Sicatoka Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 Capacity is 13500. They drew that for NDSU in 2001. They drew 12400+ in 2003 for NDSU. Quote
bisonguy Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 Capacity is 13500. They drew that for NDSU in 2001. They drew 12400+ in 2003 for NDSU. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually, it was less than 12,400 in 2003. 12,267 to be exact. Quote
CoteauRinkRat Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 Actually, it was less than 12,400 in 2003. 12,267 to be exact. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks for clearing that up for us. Quote

sprig Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 I'll tell you one thing, I have traveled from Alaska 3 times this year to see the sioux play so anyone within REASONABLE driving distance that isn't going has got to be crazy. I am still trying to get a flight out that costs me less than $1100.00 so I can see them CRUSH Grand Valley. I hope all of you enjoy the game cuz if I can't get there I get to watch it on the SORRY internet feed. GO SIOUX!!!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> WHile you're looking for tickets, you may want to watch the video stream of this week's Sioux Football 2004 show. There's a special clip on Chris including an interview, etc. Quote
Wilbur Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 Here is one fan that hopes the game is televised. I'm heading home for Thanksgiving, and it would make my weekend all the more better if I could watch the Sioux battle GVSU..... Quote
Cratter Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 Let's compromise...how about they announce it'll be on tv at about 12:00 pm on Saturday. Quote
kupe_33 Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 WHile you're looking for tickets, you may want to watch the video stream of this week's Sioux Football 2004 show.

I am trying to get there- although his mom may want to flip a coin to see who gets to go...thx again Quote
sprig Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 Is that Lennon's show on WDAZ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, the Lennon and Hennesy weekly (Sunday night) special. Quote
kupe_33 Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 Yes, the Lennon and Hennesy weekly (Sunday night) special. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I watched it last week and they had one of his blocks against SCSU on some poor blitzing linebacker...it looks like it left a mark Quote
siouxjoy Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 Yes, the Lennon and Hennesy weekly (Sunday night) special. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Isn't it Lennon and Pat Sweeney? Quote
sprig Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 Isn't it Lennon and Pat Sweeney? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> correct, my mistake Quote
