01grad Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 It is great that the tourney is on St. Patricks day. Hopefully there will be lots of green out there, perhaps even on gopher fans. I wonder who everybody will cheer for if we play Wisconsin? Who does Minnesota hate more? I am a very die hard Sioux fan, but since I grew up a gopher fan I don't hate them as much as others that post here do. I will be cheering for them as long as they aren't playing us, just to warn everybody ahead of time. Many people were angry at me for this last year and couldn't figure it out. I don't care though because UMD and the U of M are the only other teams I pull for if the Sioux aren't playing. Well on with the topic of this thread. We will be in section 117 row 10 again this year (behind the benches). We always hang out at McGoverns between games. It is always packed, as everyplace is, but it is a fun crowd. Quote
#1Hakfan Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 They announced at the game last night for Sioux fans to meet thursday before the game at Great Waters brewing Co. Quote
01grad Posted March 14, 2005 Author Posted March 14, 2005 I forgot, do any of you ever gather anywhere in between periods, other than outside for smokers, to discuss the game? Quote
MafiaMan Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 Thursday at Great Waters, eh? Who wants a keychain? Quote
Skateblade Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 8 of us Sioux fans in section 108, rows 17 & 18. McGoverns or anywhere on 7th is the place to be in my book. Let's light 'em up Thursday nite! Quote
NorthDakotaFightingSioux Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 They announced at the game last night for Sioux fans to meet thursday before the game at Great Waters brewing Co. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Is this where the alumni gathering is? Quote
#1Hakfan Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 I only caught half the announcement, but I am sure it is where the alumni gathering is. Maybe if someone finds out they should start a special thread. But they said it start thursday at 4 or 4:30. Quote
01grad Posted March 14, 2005 Author Posted March 14, 2005 I am sure that alot of people will be at Great Waters to use their coupon for the free pint of beer. The alumni thing usually as been held here, but I couldn't remember when it was. I thought one year it was between the Saturday games. Quote
Smoggy Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 Is this where the alumni gathering is? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It is the alumni gathering and it's like $15. It gives you food, but not $15 worth. It'll have a cash bar. Quote
petey23 Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 I'll be in a suite! $30 a six pack!!! McGoverns is always good, but I have become partial to Alarys the last couple years. They shuttle you to and from the games and validate your parking. oh, and if that isn't enough reason www.alarys.com Quote
jerseychaser1 Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 I'm going to be sitting in 229 in the very first row wearing all my saint patricks day stuff. Quote
siouxnami Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 Thursday at Great Waters, eh? Who wants a keychain? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I do, I do... BTW, I think I may have been there a previous year, but where is Great Waters relative to the X. Edit: Hey Wrong Side of the Blue Line, do you still have the signs that spell out MEDIOCRE, in the unlikely event we should here the U of M rouser? Quote
squirtcoach Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 Wild Times is a pretty fun place to go to. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Great Waters website with map: http://www.greatwatersbc.com/hours.html Quote
Goon Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 Great Waters website with map: http://www.greatwatersbc.com/hours.html <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Beer is ussually really cheap there but it doesn't have the cleanest bathrooms. Quote
Let'sGoHawks! Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 So is everyone going to Great Waters? Quote
cfm567b27 Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 Beer is ussually really cheap there but it doesn't have the cleanest bathrooms. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'll pass on the bathroom sanitary situation to Mrs. Cfm567b27...as for myself they could have a tin can in a corner surrounded by rats for all I care.

Let'sGoHawks! Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 It would be cool if all the Sioux fans left the bar together and walked down to the X as a large group of green and white. Quote
UMDDogz Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 It is great that the tourney is on St. Patricks day. Quote
radionews Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 I will be traveling from NW MN for the Final Five and will be sporting green hair THursday , not for St. Patty's Day but for the Sioux!!!! Last year we (30 some year old mind you) sat with green hair during the sioux games next to a U of M student with a maroon wig and maroon and gold face paint. Good times! Good natured ribbing and a nice pic with "Ronald McDonald" as we called him. Good times, good Sioux hockey and beer......can't wait!! Quote
Goon Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 The Sioux are my favorite D-2 football team and the Gophers are my favorite D-1 football team. As much as I like their football team, I can't help but like their hockey team too. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I like the Gopher Football, Baseball and Basket programs. I detest the Gopher hockey team. Quote
Goon Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 So is everyone going to Great Waters? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Where is this bar at? Quote
Let'sGoHawks! Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 Where is this bar at? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Great Waters Bar Quote
siouxguyinstpaul Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 Great Waters Bar <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wild Tymes - across the street from this place - is a nice sports bar Quote
Let'sGoHawks! Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 Wild Tymes - across the street from this place - is a nice sports bar <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't care where I go, as long as there are Sioux fans there. Quote
