MN is going down the tubes

Re: MN is going down the tubes

I agree. In fact, this is one aspect of Minnesota sports that I've always seemed to hang my hat on. We know the Twins are okay, but we also know that they'll take a polite bow out in the first round of any playoff. You see, it's predictable. On a side note, it was kind of funny to see a Sioux fan in a UND hockey jersey wearing a Twins hat.[/QUOTE]

WHY? Are you so arrogant that North Dakota citizens are not allowed to support your state's major league baseball team? I, personally, am a UND alum, and a diehard Twins fan. A lot of people around the region are Twins fans, and I guess I don't understand why it's funny to see a Sioux fan wearing a Twins hat. A lot of them also like the Vikings. Is that okay with you?
 
Re: MN is going down the tubes

I guess we can give UND the National Championship right now, just as long as they get to play every game at home, and all the other teams haven't even played a regular season game yet. Minnesota has no where to go but up, and North Dakota no where to go but down. You have to remember, even god himself could not stand to stay in North Dakota for more than 2 years, and after he left, UND has choked every year. As such, UND is still god forsaken, and this year is no different.

Oh, and this thread is premature, by the way.

Please capitalize "God" when referring to the Almighty.

Try New Testament Happy, and all is forgiven....

Both Dakotas root for MN pro sports since they have none of their own. The Gophers totally sucked last night and I wanted to vomit in my rum!!!!!

Why are you trying to make this thread about UND?
 
Fire Lucia

Fire Lucia

The hard core Gopher fans need to start the fire Lucia thread and for many good reasons. To start there is no team play at all, Gophers are incapable of defending and attacking as a 5 man unit. Any offensive zone rush was a solo shot from poor angles. Defensive coverage and back check were horrible and this is due to a team full kids who floated through high school getting set up buy grinders. Gifted goal scorers but not the type to bring the lunch pail. When was the last time Lucia recruited a grinder that can do the dirty work in the corners? Defensemen are weak and small. 'Baby Jesus' looked out of place in a mens hockey game, as did Leddy, Fisher, Fairchild and the rest of the D-corp. Blind passes, passes in the skates, passes behind guys, panic time throwing the puck. It was amatures against a bona fide college team. I am hoping that UMD does the same thing to the gophers buy out working Hill and Lucia's fantasy team. That is one horrible hockey team parading in maroon and gold.
 
Re: MN is going down the tubes

Keep lucia and hill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

goofers were terrible last night... state of hockey my ***. last page of the star tribune sports section carries the coverage -

Losing is one thing, but giving up? ***, that looked like a practice.

yup it's the goofers 1st game, but it's also the sioux series, where is the intensity???

Where was toni the turtle lucia last night :) hoping he would challenge someone to a fight and run behind the ref again...

Minnesota has no where to go but up... that is for sure, but if you think this is the best Sioux team you will see all year you need to lay off the crack pipe. The Sioux have had a couple of extra games a that certainly showed it helped last night but we are a young team and the more time they spend together on the ice the better they will get. btw happy, your predictions were so far off base you can by your own measurement, call yourself the loser. It will be fun to see what kind of Gopher team comes out tonight... better keep your heads up boys!
 
Re: MN is going down the tubes

I don't suppose the gophers have any lower to go than being out shot, no goals, and the top line not showing up to play...I suppose on the bright side, for them, is that they could have no where to go but up...except any of the polls or standings.

Sioux looked good, perhaps some questionable calls by the refs, but maybe only if your eyes are maroon and gold. not many penalties against the Sioux, PP was good, PK better, we'll see what tonight brings, and maybe it will be reminiscent of last January's Saturday game. I'd hate to see both teams in the box continuously tonight. MN's defense needs to step up, as well as their offense. A goalie can only do so much, and we saw that last night.

The thing I hate seeing when I was attending UND was students wearing gopher crap. ML sports aren't the same as college. MN's major league sports (except maybe basketball) are ND's major league sports. Same situation to an extent where I grew up in Oregon, Seattle baseball and football, we had a basketball team...at least in the early 90's.
