Big Weekend


Bryce

Recommended Posts

Big series coming up and no banter yet? Pretty confident that my Sioux flag will continue to fly. Sure would be sweeter victories with Okposo playing. Hats off to the little old men in pin covered vests. That's class. ;\)

So I'm assuming from your comments that when the Sue lose you take the flag down? I will also take my hat off to those classy men wearing the bewitching pin covered vests...I like those guys! Has anyone heard whether the great people at Mariucci are going to respectfully play "Oh Canada" for the visiting Sue this weekend?

The Sioux certainly are carrying some momentum into this weekend with 7 wins in a row! They are now ranked #3 in the nation! I would like to think that UND will get another sweep this weekend, but for some reason I think the Rodents might get lucky and pull one out at home. Go Sioux!

Well, I hate to call the Gophers beating the Sioux an upset, so I had to say something. Ha!

Split: Fri 4-2 Gophs, Sat 3-1 Sioux. I'd be surprised with a sweep by either team. I wonder if Frazee starts Friday and Kangas Sat?

Flag flies until the Sioux lose. Since I will be watching the games in my shack on Red... well, read between the lines. ;\) Amazed at how civil this stayed. Good job guys. Enjoy the games.

If the Gophers don't sweep they are really going to struggle the rest of the way.

If they don't at least split, I will struggle for a year. My wife is from ND, and her sister and brother-in-law (from Grand Forks and Sioux season ticket holders) are coming down for both games. They just love to give me grief when the Sioux win and the Gophers lose mad.gif - the opposite is also true grin.gif

So go GOPHERS!!! My weekend depends on YOU!

that's because the maroon and gold suck this year \:o

seriously if the gophers had a more competitive squad this year, I bet you would hear more trash talk. Watching the team this year has made me apathetic. I still don't like the sioux-age and hope the gophers don't embarass themselves and can get the sweep. But I'm a realist, and know that's unlikely to happen this weekend. Hopefully the gophers can prove me wrong \:\)

I will be at the game on Friday with my two friends who are, unfortunately, Sioux Fans. If the Gophers lose it will cost me a 6-pack and some pride so I'm hoping for a victory for the maroon and gold! I am thinking...

Friday: U of M Gophers-3

UND Fighting "whatever their name will be next year"-2

Saturday: UM-1 UND 4

bryce, it was sarcasm, i am not a very PC person. Just trying to rattle some cages and get the rivalry heated like it should be. As far as the tatoo, i didnt know they could tatoo near v*g*n*s.

what a bunch of cheap shot cowards. Taunting Carman, no call. Nice cheap shot hit from behind on Anderson by Zajac. Nice try of Finley to drag Wheeler into a fight at the handshake. Adam and Greg Shepard are a bunch of sallies and don't have spine to call it even or discipline anyone.

Even hackstol shows no class by swearing on the air and showing the bird. It's already been re-iterated before, the sioux program is classless. This has nothing to do with winning games. mad.gif

I'm not against old time hockey, but call it even for both sides. The calls/non-calls definitely affected the integrity of the game.

It was an exciting game for sure, with lots of intensity, but the officiating has been especially poor this season. McLoed needs to put Shepards coals to the fire and get his officials in line. The comic moment of the game was CJ Beaurline checking Malone into the penalty box.

Another weekend of not winning for the Gophers. Call it what you want I guess Head, however I don't slurp the U of M or the way they play the game. UND was on the other side of plenty of Dumb Don Adams rotten calls. The Rodents certainly weren't innocent in this game. Great intense hockey the way it was intended to be played!! Old time hockey!!

Before Zajac hit Anderson, Anderson gave Oshie a cross check from behind. Lucia was dropping f'bombs along with some other words. FSN is doing their job spinning everything, right Wapiti?

if the sioux-age are so unGODley supreme to the gophers why didn't their league leading powerplay destroy them? They sure had more than enough chances. For being such a terrible and mediocre team, I think the gophs held their own this weekend. Anybody that's gonna say that Friday night's game winning goal was all skill is out of their mind. If anything, I'm disappointed that the sioux struggled all weekend against the lowly gophers. shows how "great" a team the sioux really are, right.... sick.gif

I don't believe anyone on this site ever called the Sioux "unGODley" as you like to say. I do simply think that there are many bright hockey minds on here that enjoy a rough style of winning hockey that the Fighting Sioux provide. Let's just say that the Sioux played good enough for two games at Mariucci to earn three points!

      Nope not me.  May want to go nextdoor and ask around?

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
