USA TODAY ARTICLE ON UND`s GREAT FANS

While home attendance for North Dakota hockey games has generally been good, Fighting Sioux athletic officials are looking for ways to fill some empty seats in the student section. Coach Dean Blais recently met with UND student association members in hopes of finding a
plan which will allow the school to sell unused seats in the student section as general admission tickets shortly after the start of each game. UND students are allotted more than 2,000 free seats in the 6,600-seat Ralph Englestad Arena, but the school currently has no ability to sell student seats which are not used, leading to many
sellouts with hundreds of empty seats in the student section. School officials hope to try selling the unused student seats on a trial basis at UND's Oct. 27 home game versus the University of Manitoba.

NORTH DAKOTA FANS / STUDENTS SUCK

You have a one of the best teams year in & year out yet you can`t fill your arena. I guess there must be just to much going on in your shit hole state.

Students show up for games...season ticket holders don't.

UND Students do not leave "hundreds of empty seats" for the duration of the entire season as this bogus article is implying. Here is the real story. The people pushing this ticket proposal are using one series last season as proof: Last year's Sioux-Gopher series which was 1) Saturday-Sunday afternoon, and 2) On a three-day weekend. Some students had to work, and others wanted to go home for the extended break. What the promoters of this plan aren't telling you is that except for holiday weekends and afternoon series, the student section is full almost all of the time. The reserved section, on the other hand, is becoming more like Marriucci with seats that are sold but empty. It is the students that are the most dedicated fans of Fighting Sioux Hockey, not the season ticket holders who don't show up half the time. So I guess if you contribute hundreds of dollars to the athletic department you can buy seats and no

Continued from above.....

As I was saying, I guess if you give hundreds of dollars to the athletic department each season you can buy seats and not use them and that's okay. But, if you're a student who misses a couple of games to go home for an extended weekend or christmas, then it's "unfair to working people" and "needs to be changed". Can you say E-L-I-T-I-S-M?!?!

UND FANS

The article is not bogus. You can read the article on the internet in the USA today under WCHA notes. So is the USA today lying ? Maybe there is conspiracy going on to bring down the UND hockey program. All you UND fans are so paranoid.

Article is not accurate.

I didn't say the article didn't exist, I was saying that what it implied was inaccurate and misleading. I am also saying that the proponents of this plan are using bogus criteria. I've been to every home game since the 1993-94 season, and I KNOW what the patterns are for both student and reserved sections. And the student section is more full than the reserved section. This is a fact, a fact that the USA Today did not mention.

The Grand Forks Herald

Q: You're a University of Minnesota graduate. There's always talk in the Twin Cities that if the Gopher hockey job ever opens up, you'd be the No. 1 choice. You could double your income there. How much interest would you have?
A: I'm not sure if I would be interested or not. I like the kids I have here right now. They've loyal to our program and I'm loyal to them. I think Doug (Woog) is pretty solid there at Minnesota now. The No. 1 drawback is that there's not as good of hunting there as there is here (laughter). My family is in Grand Forks (son Ben and wife,daughter Mary Beth), but who knows? It's definitely easier recruiting at Minnesota than it is here.

The Grand Forks Herald Part II

Q: What factors would lead to you leaving?
A: If Minnesota goes into a super league that's been talked about with Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State and Wisconsin, I don't want North Dakota to be in with Anchorage, Fairbanks and Omaha,or however they divide it up. If they put us into a different league, I would try to be part of that (super) league, either by North Dakota
joining it, or think about moving, if I had to.

Coach Blais

Are these the remarks of coach who is going to be sticking around. The super league is going to be for Big 10 schools. So why would they invite North Dakota ? So heres to Woog tanking and coach Blais ending up in MINNESOTA. I like the sound of coach Blais leading the Gophers to the Big Ten hockey title and then NCAA championship

First of all I didn't pay to see the little ass Spehar play - why spend money on him when I can get the tickets for free? I just enjoyed watching Sauer kick the shit out of him... nice try Spehar, looks like playing for a "first class" hockey team isn't working out for you.

Hey Hockey
Free tickets or not your still in the stands watching and if my memory serves me right the Gophers were 1-0-1 while the Bulldogs were 0-1-1 this weekend.Finally while the Gophers haven`t won an NCAA title since 1979, the Bulldogs have NEVER won an NCAA title.

I am happy to see you live in the past. 1979, wow, were you even born then? In regards to your stats about this season, I have to laugh. Didn't the goph's loose to St. Lawrence in a pre-season pussy game a week back? Yes! Didn't the first shot on goal go in? Yes! Didn't the Cherry-Picker make an ass of himself last weekend? Yes! All this has happened within two weeks. As long as you are looking in the past, look at one score: UMD 5, Gerbils 4. Enough said.

I might be living in the past but the Gophers still have 3 more NCAA titles then your sorry ass Bulldogs. As far as last years 5-4 game what did that get you ? Did you make the NCAA playoffs ? NO ! So until they win something even the WCHA title shut the fuck up and that`s enough said.

Didn't the Goph's beat to Ohio State in a pre-season tournment game a week back? Yes! Didn't the first shot on goal go in? Unfortunately yes! Didn't Spehar make some great plays all by himself last weekend? Yes! All this has happened within two weeks. As long as you are looking in the past, look at one score:Last Saturday Gophers 3 UMD1 .

Rookie of the year!!!!

Minnesota Pride on Ice! That's all I ever hear, and to tell you the truth, I'm getting real sick and tired of hearing about how good the Gophers are going to be and how great their damn players are. It's a damn joke!! The Wooger is all washed up and he can't recruit anyone. Look at all of the points that the Minnesotan's for CC put in last weekend. And that sweet rookie of the year prospect Adam Hauser, he's unreal. I think that he should be bagging groceries down at Cub Food's myself, all he does is flop all over his damn self. The point that I'm trying to make is that Hauser sucks, Woog sucks and the Gophers suck.

Congradulations Gophers!!! You still suck!!!

Well, now I've seen it all. The gophers actually got a point out of a series. Good job gophers, maybe you can find a couple of points up in Alaska. I'm not real sure if it's appropriate to talk about North Dakota the way you are, considering they just kicked the tar out of ya, but hey, at least you can look back on this season and say you got 1 out of 4 against the Sioux. Either put Erik Day in some serious rehab, or put one of your forwards in net, because Hauser will probably be working the cash register at your local convienience store sometime soon. Get ready to be shitty again this season Gophers, maybe next year.
