airmail Posted April 3, 2003 Posted April 3, 2003 I am not a senior member of this site by any means... but what the hell is with the new threads about the bulldogs and gophers? I know POI sucks... but please! Must you torment us with your rival school banter? (headshake...headshake)
The Sicatoka Posted April 3, 2003 Posted April 3, 2003 (I posted this once already in another thread.) Remember the cool kid in your neighborhood growing up? Everyone always talked about what the cool kid was doing or what they had. Everyone wanted to go over to the cool kid's house and hang out with the cool kid because they had all the best stuff, the stuff everyone else wanted. Dear Bison and Gopher (and recently appeared Duluth Bulldog) fans, Welcome to our house, SiouxSports.com.
Hammy Posted April 3, 2003 Posted April 3, 2003 Is that why you post on the Gopher board Sica? I'd say there is plenty of traffic on other boards. I don't think this site as even being close to having a monopoly on various fans posting.
The Sicatoka Posted April 3, 2003 Posted April 3, 2003 Hammy, I've stopped by POI for a visit. I haven't moved in and tried to take the best spot on the couch.
DAR Posted April 3, 2003 Posted April 3, 2003 Hammy, Handyman, and WPOS must be closet Sioux fans because they are over here more than on POI. Most of the time there posts are respectable. After all this is only a "game" we are in conflict about here.
Slap Shot Posted April 3, 2003 Posted April 3, 2003 There are plenty of Sioux fans that post at POI and as long as they are civil you don't see Gopher fans getting defensive about it.
kr Posted April 3, 2003 Posted April 3, 2003 and as long as they are civil you don't see Gopher fans getting defensive about it. And generally on this siouxsports board the Sioux fans aren't defensive either -- it's just when a "visitor" gets offensively offensive that the "goons" of the board come out to lay the smack down! **Goon -- I mean that in only the nicest way!
Hammy Posted April 3, 2003 Posted April 3, 2003 Hammy, Handyman, and WPOS must be closet Sioux fans because they are over here more than on POI. C'mon... I have under 60 posts here in about 6 months. I average almost 3 posts a day in about 3 years time on POI for a total of a little under 3000...... do ya think you may be stretching it just a tad with your comment above??
jimdahl Posted April 3, 2003 Posted April 3, 2003 The way I interpreted the meaning of this thread (cause it's what I was thinking myself) had nothing to do with the "regular" Gopher posters who come by to talk Sioux hockey (and sometimes a little smack). We kind of even like some of you. Rather, in the last day or two it does seem we've been inundated with newbie fans of other schools (look for the single digit numbers by their names) who want to talk about their school instead of UND in the UND hockey forum.
Greyeagle Posted April 3, 2003 Posted April 3, 2003 C'mon... I have under 60 posts here in about 6 months.

The hockey talk is very good and it seems as long as you remain civil, non-Sioux posters are welcomed. This site seems very tolerable as long as one a) keeps the woofing to a minnimum, b) keeps it clean, and c) sticks to hockey - which I didn't do until I added this edit. But It's funny that Handy, Hammy, and WPoS are accused of being here and I'm probably the Gopher fan with the most posts. I guess I'm a ScottM wanna be of Siouxsports.

Strange that so many new gopher posters have shown up here since the Gophers made the FF, and the Sioux were eliminated. Maybe it's the Sioux Board thread that so many are posting on at POI???
kr Posted April 3, 2003 Posted April 3, 2003 Greyeagle -- see, we (Sioux fans that is) think of you as an "out-ed" Sioux fan -- you post reasonably, stick to the issues, etc.... while the Hammys (i.e. stirring the pot on the hobey thread), Handymans (i.e. last years run to uscho tattle) and WPOSs (i.e. what doesn't he do!) of the Gopher fan base are typical Gopher closet Sioux fans -- sort of like in 7th grade when you really, really like someone you do your best to annoy them so they pay attention to you.
teamsioux Posted April 3, 2003 Posted April 3, 2003 Greyeagle, it is fans like you that gives us hope about Gopher fans being civil!!
JWG Posted April 3, 2003 Posted April 3, 2003 Ok, I admit it, I saw the SiouxBoard thread on POI, and how could I not come take a look. Now that I'm here, I like the layout and most of the topics. What do you do... go where the conversation is. Plus, I've learned that the off-season discussions can be better than those where the team is still playing. This is in no way meant to be a rib against UND, its just that right now on POI all threads are about things other than the general game of hockey right now. Over hear people are actually discussing hockey things, who's going to win the Hobey, which players are better, etc.
Greyeagle Posted April 4, 2003 Posted April 4, 2003 Heck no, Greyeagle. But we just accepted you as one of our own (like the POI'ers accused you of) LONG ago. I've been called worse.
ScottM Posted April 4, 2003 Posted April 4, 2003 I guess I'm a ScottM wanna be of Siouxsports. Be careful what you wish for.
Handyman Posted April 4, 2003 Posted April 4, 2003 Strange that so many new gopher posters have shown up here since the Gophers made the FF, and the Sioux were eliminated. Maybe it's the Sioux Board thread that so many are posting on at POI??? I think it is amazing that on 3 separate boards all you do is whine! Seriously did mommy not buy you your pony or something...take a pill and enjoy life sprig And I spend nowhere near as much time here as I do on POI...I would but the emoticons on this site scare me!

airmail Posted April 4, 2003 Author Posted April 4, 2003 (I posted this once already in another thread.) Yes... sorry I didn't give you credit. It was Sicatoka's prior response that influenced me to start this thread...
Hammy Posted April 4, 2003 Posted April 4, 2003 Could care less what is posted on POI Yeah, this coming from a guy who constantly cries because I rag on the Sioux at times on POI. Yeah, you really don't seem to care what is written over there, right? After all, why lurk and read a board if you aren't a little interested in what is written on it...... Good job Handy. You hit the mark with this guy.
sprig Posted April 4, 2003 Posted April 4, 2003 How 'bout that; a Handy and Hammy tag team match on the Sioux board. You guys are great. Why come whining here. Go back to where you are used to doing it.
administrator Posted April 4, 2003 Posted April 4, 2003 Alright, this thread is dying too. (Yes, I'm being a hardass today, trying to get the hockey talk back above 80% in this forum).
