JESUS,family,rutgers Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Just got back from Dartmouth and had a great time watching my first Fighting Sioux game--guys thanks for the win. Met some very nice North Dakota fans. A couple grads drove from the Boston, Mass. area and another older man drove several hours from Troy,NY. He said he roots for RPI and the Sioux. Loved the green Sioux jersey he had on which was the number 4 with "FROZEN" on the back instead of a player's name. Seated in front of me were a very nice couple who made the trip from Grand Forks--that is dedication! Hopefully, the Sioux will be back in the Northeast again next year or maybe for the NCAA's. The arena was small,but a great place to watch a game. I didn't hear one negative comment from fans of the other three schools and I watched almost the entire first game also. Supposedly, there was one woman "protesting" this weekend. Anyway, I went in the main entrance to the arena and never saw or heard her. There were a few guys who came over and spoke to the couple in front of me asking if people really threw gophers onto the ice when North Dakota plays Minnesota-Twin Cities! They seemed to have a perplexed look on their faces. Anyway, it was fun game to watch and hopefully the Sioux have turned things around. Thanks again North Dakota players, coaches, and fans! GO FIGHTING SIOUX! GO SCARLET KNIGHTS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siouxman Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 There were a few guys who came over and spoke to the couple in front of me asking if people really threw gophers onto the ice when North Dakota plays Minnesota-Twin Cities! GO FIGHTING SIOUX! GO SCARLET KNIGHTS! I can personally vouch that the answer is yes, in the Old Ralph. I know of 5 locally caught varmints that made it on the ice in one game. Have not seen it done in the new Ralph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siouxmama Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Glad that you had a good time, JFR. I wish Sioux-cia and I could have been there to cheer on our team with you. It's nice that you met some ND fans, and that our team won. You must be the good luck charm we have been waiting for! Maybe you rubbed off some of the Rutgers good fortune on us!

siouxguyinstpaul Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 No wonder we don't think INCH is worth the time spent reading it "HOW WE SEE IT As mentioned earlier, none of these teams carries positive momentum into this weekend's tournament, but all four have a chance to build that momentum for the second half by playing well and winning this title. BU edges the Saints and sets up a matchup with Dartmouth. The Big Green will win the title on home ice and set up a second-half run to mirror what they did last season, losing just one ECACHL regular-season game after the start of the new year.
