So if the season ended today, WCHA would have 2 number 1 seeds or it would be really close at least.

That would make for a pretty cool tourny if the Dogs and Sioux were both playing in ST PAul at the end of the year.

I think I am going to have to get tickets this year. The WCHA should have a good chance, and why not. It is pretty cheap and just a few miles away. I wish they would sell alcohol there. Makes for a good time, and good revenue for the league. SO what does a UND fan do at a game with no alcohol....

I think UND would have a hardtime getting that #1 seed because of there Maine series buut of course the pairwise works in funny ways. It should be a good game between the two teams at the end of the month. I really think UND is gelling together. Oh, have you check out Boston College lately. They will be tough. Hate that team.

It didn't dawn on me that the frozen was in St Paul this year. I should look into it. anyways,I agree with open liquor sales. That is the biggest money maker at sporting events. What a lost revenue that is. For the record this Sioux fan does not drink. Somebody has to drive.

Maybe the Frozen Four would have better atmosphere, but the regionals are terrible! I was at Mariucci the last time the Dogs advanced there, two years ago. It was the Miami Ohio game after we beat Princeton. There were some Duluth fans there who cheered a little. But for the most part you could hear a pin drop in there. The atmosphere was 5% of a Final Five game at the X.

I think we will hold off unless the Dogs make it. We'd probably pay a premium for them, but a lot of things have to fall into place for UMD to get there. If the Gophers ever advanced again, that might be another team we'd follow there. I agree it's a unique opportunity though.

I tell ya, add alcohol to the equation and it barely matters who is playing.

Broooks, your right Sioux fans dont drink, we find em passed out at the Xcel every year due to exhaustion from yelling, complaining and tired from not being a gopher fan!

Haha. I can't deny that doesn't happen grin. All the other fans must see UND fans as menaces. Must of them live in the cities now. I'm sure you know a few.

I can't figure out how but I know more UND fans then gopher fans, I think I am cursed.

Apparently the exodus from ND brings them right to the cities. We get the wellfare lovers from the east and the darn Sioux fans from the west. I think Wisconsin might be the only state near Minnesota not going down in population.

It is somewhat cool when you watch an away Wild game and you see a Sioux jersey in the stands......oh wait, maybe it is just an old Hawks jersey.

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...

      Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
