I remember there being almost no reaction when Marto scored the lone Sioux goal near the end of the 3rd. Everyone...both team and fans were both just so defeated.

I was sitting across from the Pepsi center in the bar watching it on tv. We drove up to go to the game but couldn’t find a scalper with a ticket for under $200 or something. On principal I let them eat their tickets and it was a good decision. To be fair it was a nice goal by marto, just didn’t matter one iota 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I watched The Circus win in 1987 in the Squires main lounge. Some lovely ladies were watching it already on the best (rear projection) big screen in the Walsh Quad and they allowed me to join them. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prairie Public Television was broadcasting this; they were raising money between periods to cover the costs. I turned 6 years old on May 13th that year! i remember games on prairie public...loved that...as a kid who didnt get to many games in person, that, and Pat Sweeney on WDAZ were my happy times 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightingsioux4life Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Okay, enough negativity about past playoff failures. Let's focus on the present, which is anything but negative. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwamleyShuffle Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 It’s gameday on CBS Sports Network! For those like me who don’t have the channel, both Fubo and YouTube TV have it. I think you can get free trial of both. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some brutal losses in that stretch. But one glorious win. Same here. Felt like I was jinxing the team by attending. That 2016 win was a huge relief. The post-party across the street was insane.

Wasn't that more of an early 80's phenomenon? I do remember the Dark side visiting the arena, though...well, it was the Gophers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was 3 for 3 and feeling like a good luck charm, so I kept going. I went in 2005-2012 every year, only to see UND lose or not make it. My kids implored me not to attend any more because I was seemingly bad luck, so I did not attend any more Frozen Fours, including 2016 when the Sioux won in Tampa.
