Re: HEY HERE IT IS! Its the UNO season thread!
I kinda wrote up something in the series thread but looks like everybody abandoned that, so I'll get my thoughts out here:
NoClu: I know I still owe you a drink, now it'll probably be two with interest. I figured I'd write something in the series thread when I got into town but I found out when we got down there that the Hilton charged $10 a night for internet. Sorry, but that's a couple drinks out of my pocket PER NIGHT, so we passed on that. But you guys are in the WCHA; eventually you'll make it up to Cloud, or the F5/6, and I certainly will go to Omaha again.
MAVFANJEFF: those "loud but polite" SCSU fans, what section were they in? 'Cause we were in 103 Saturday and I hope you were talking about us, because that's the nicest thing I think I've ever heard us described as.
We like to be loud, and mix it up, and I told the guy behind us that we talked to all night, if you were in two or three sections away, you'd probably hate us, but after talking to him all game he loved us. We told him we are actually MORE obnoxious at the National Hockey Center but on the road we're more respectful and keep the language clean.
As for the weekend, nothing but good things to say about the team, the fans, the town and the arena. Some of you guys talked down about your arena, but honestly, its better than ours in every aspect but atmosphere.
Only negatives were very nitpicky;
-we chant "Ugly goalie!" when the opposing goalie takes his helmet off, and we were right behind Faulkner Friday night. It has NOTHING to do with how he's playing. Well when Mike Lee started getting scored on in the second, everyone chanted "Ugly goalie" at him, and we were laughing. Call him a sieve if you want, but if he keeps his lid on, you can't call him ugly, you don't know what he looks like.
-your PA guy does everything backwards. Starting lineup is supposed to be goalie, then blueline, then fowards ending with center, not the opposite way. And he also mispronounced Mike Lee's city of Roseau, which I say is an easy fix, don't announce the cities of the away team, just the home team.
-and seriously, you guys do the Ole chant?!? That's not only soccer, that's a Mankato thing. Please don't try to be like Mankato, for your own sake.
Good luck to you the rest of the way. Hope you sell out the building next week and then beat Bucky! Maybe we'll be back down there for the playoffs. And we hope you make it up to the X, its a hell of a time.
