dakotadan Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 A big week coming up in the NCC! I hope to see the Al Packed in Pink! Everyone come out, wear your pink and support the Sioux as well as Breast Cancer Awareness! Quote
UND92,96 Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 I'm sure UNO appreciates being given a bye the week before they play UND for the second year in a row. Quote
SiouxMD Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 Is there an official "Packed in Pink" campaign or this this just a dakotadan thing? GO SIOUX Quote
dakotadan Posted October 7, 2007 Author Posted October 7, 2007 Is there an official "Packed in Pink" campaign or this this just a dakotadan thing? GO SIOUX October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month. UND is running ads for the game encouraging people to wear pink to the game. Part of the proceeds of the game are going to Altru and breast cancer awareness in the region. I came up with the Packed in Pink on my own! Quote
Wilbur Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 I'm really looking forward to this game. They're always great games to watch, and its usually the team that gets the bounce one way or another that ends up with the win. Unfortunately for the Sioux the Mavs have gotten more of the bounces the past couple of years in the rivalry, but UND did have a big win in the playoffs last season against the Mavs. No predictions quite yet. We'll see about the health of Stroup, and Chappell for Saturday. Gosh it should be an amazing football game. The number one factor in the game will be how well UND's defense can play with a loud Alerus center crowd behind them. The 12th man will be huge. Quote
SiouxMeNow Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 ...The 12th man will be huge... no....HUGE!!! Opening of pheasant season and live TV won't help...so grab a loud and obnoxious* friend or two, get down to the Ralph for $10 tickets on Tuesday, and lets pack the AL! (* - I'm taken...sorry ) Quote
mksioux Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 Opening of pheasant season and live TV won't help... Even though I know it's true, it just seems odd that opening of a hunting season can noticeably hurt attendance. I've never heard other teams complain about this, but UND struggles with it every year. And if it's such a problem, UND should seriously consider night games on these days. It's a shame that a battle of top-5 undefeated teams will be anything less than a sell-out. Quote
HockeyMom Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 UND's D needs to really step it up, it's going to be a big big game. I'm excited! But now, I must go wash the kiddies' hockey jerseys. Quote

Will the birds not be there the following day? Leave to hunt after the game. Quote
sprig Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 Agree, why in the world would you miss a game for a hunting opener? Will the birds not be there the following day? Leave to hunt after the game. Opening pheasant weekend is way too overrated. Much better in the snow and cold in December. I'll be out west with lots of pheasants, but will be trying to tune in both the football and hockey game on KU band. Won't be leaving the house. Ditch chickens can wait. Quote
Sioux_Yeah_Yeah Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 I'm loud and obnoxious! I can be loud and obnoxious Quote
UND92,96 Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 UNO is a very good team, and based upon the past decade I think it's safe to say UND will need to play extremely well to win. It must be pointed out, however, that this is the first true road test for UNO. Their two road games so far were at Kearney and Augie, and both of those games were relatively competitive. Quote
Siouxmama Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 A big week coming up in the NCC! I hope to see the Al Packed in Pink! Everyone come out, wear your pink and support the Sioux as well as Breast Cancer Awareness! I'm working on making my new pink UND sweatshirt as we speak. GO SIOUX!! Quote
Lefty - UNO Fan Posted October 7, 2007 Posted October 7, 2007 I'm sure UNO appreciates being given a bye the week before they play UND for the second year in a row. I know the bye could not have come at a better time. UNO's offensive and defensive lines have been hit hard by injuries. UNO may get one defensive lineman back. In my mind, that's the biggest advantage...healing injuries. NW Missouri, Western Washington, and Minnesota State all had bye weeks before UNO this year and it did not really seem to matter too much. UNO won't install a lot of trick plays. About as fancy as they get is a reverse. Maybe a fake punt. Quote
YaneA Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 Here's my suggestion for extra volume: when the crowd stands for UNO's third down, drum on the seat in front of you. Until someone makes you stop, that would be deafening. Quote

Big10Sioux Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 Call up all your friends and get them to this game! It's got to be rocking this saturday! Quote
siouxforeverbaby Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 I'm working on making my new pink UND sweatshirt as we speak. GO SIOUX!! yeah, sorry, but for breast cancer awareness or not...I don't do pink. I will wear a ribbon of pink or something like that but no pink shirt here. Quote
Diggler Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 yeah, sorry, but for breast cancer awareness or not...I don't do pink. I will wear a ribbon of pink or something like that but no pink shirt here. Way to not be a team player. Quote
siouxforeverbaby Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 Way to not be a team player. hey, i will wear something pink, just not a shirt. I don't do pink at all. The only pink shirt I own is not something you wear in October and it isn't really pink, more of a rose color. Quote
mksioux Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 Where does one buy the $10 tickets? You can get $10 Tuesday tickets at any Valley Dairy store for sure. I've heard you can also them at the Ralph, but I haven't seen that advertised anywhere. Quote
