MafiaMan Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Enjoyed the weekend in Houghton. Only too bad that the holiday weekend led to a pretty sparse crowd. Nice fans around us...ran into several in the concourse who said they hoped the football team beat GVSU earlier Saturday afternoon. Sat right behind the Sioux bench both nights and just wanted to say "thanks" to Jordan Parise for giving my three year old an authentic game puck. Well, his birthday was Sunday, but it was a nice gesture Friday night. He was teasing my son thru the plexi-glass and making him laugh and when a puck flew into the bench area, he promptly found it and tossed it to me. The funny part was that my son started crying and wanted me to throw it back! Kids, I tell ya. Thanks again, Jordan, much appreciated. Funny moment from Saturday's game that I could not resist...late in the third period of Saturday's game, a Clay Wilson from MTU practically tackled a Sioux player as he (Sioux) was winding up for a slap shot. A few seconds later, a whistle stopped play and I couldn't resist breaking the silence in the arena. I yelled out "Hey Wilson...the football game was LAST Saturday!". I heard many giggles throughout the arena, including one guy who was constantly harping on the referee both nights. My advice to road-trippers? Put Houghton on the map of places to visit. My own personal WCHA tour continues...Alaska-Anchorage, Denver, Colorado College, and Wisconsin all remain on the "to-do" list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MafiaMan Posted November 30, 2004 Author Share Posted November 30, 2004 Hey bigmrg74, interesting you should point that out. One fan I talked to said he can't stand GVSU. I didn't know that was such a big boiling rivalry. What's up? And where are the Laker hotties? You promised! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that those fans where just sore about losing the Bash to us, and may have suffered some heckeling that was perhaps of the "Short Bus fans" kind. And as for the Laker hotties, Cowboy has yet to put up the pictures yet. We had a few there, but just not enuff to Shock and Awe people with.
