CNN jane doe story.

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

This is a pretty wild story. Some teenage girl showed up in Manhattan without any recollection of who she is, where she came from, or anything else as far as I can tell. When I read this I cannot help but to think she is alien or a time traveler. John Titor gone wrong?

Gophers Hockey 2009-2010

Monday, October 19th, 2009

It was clear to any hockey fan that watched the Gophers start the 2009-2010 season in Grand Forks North Dakota this weekend that the Gophers played way to soft. They appeared to have no interest going into the corners with the Sioux. They struggled to create scoring chances for most of the two game series and defensively they were over matched by the UND forwards. They were lucky to come out with 1 pt.

The Gophers played better Saturday, but their goalie was the only player who played a good game. Bad goal tending either night and things would have been very ugly. Uglier than they were on Friday. No doubt about that.

Why doesn’t Aaron Ness try to do more offensively. He is very good with the puck. Maybe better than anybody on the team. In high school(the WCHA is a long way from there) he was a man among boys. He should try to create more by driving to the net more often.

Is it not time for the NCAA to go with the shootout method the NHL has. Nobody wants to see a tie. I was much more disappointed in a tie than I would have a been if the Gophers had lost. I paid 200$ for my family to see the game. I want a real outcome.

They played this video before OT. The crowed loved it.

Sioux Gophers and idiots on both sides.

Monday, October 19th, 2009

I was at the Sioux/Gopher hockey games this weekend. The games were in Grand Forks and I was wearing Gopher gear on Friday night. Our tickets were also in the student section. We sat on the very far side of the student section. There were some Gopher fans in front of us who were clearly from the U. They were receiving a bit of heckling, and for the most part it was all in good fun, but there were a few “weekend warriors” that went over the line from the UND side of things. They were invading some personal space and getting face to face with the kids from the U. Lots of “you are a bitch.” and “you suck balls.” Luckily for everybody involved where I was at, the Gopher kids stayed very chill about these 2 or 3 idiots getting too close to them.  The UND kids clearly had had way too much to drink. The problem was they kept coming back trying to instigate more and more each time. It could have turned bad pretty easy. Check out the story below. On Saturday night we also had student section tickets. I was not looking forward to the abuse again. The night before there was a very drunk kid behind us who fell into our seats a few times. We were standing each time, but my wife got kicked once. He’s lucky he did not catch the 4 year old girl with a foot. So we got lucky Saturday nights, while we were waiting in line to get into the game some kids from the U said they had normal tickets but wanted to sit in student section. I overheard this and we traded our 4 student tickets for their 4 normal tickets. It was a much better game Saturday and we did not have to get kicked by drunk 19 year olds. All around a better experience.
