        I agree I went to the UM and BU game one of the best game I seen
this year and people don't cheer. Last weekend when we played CC at UND
the fans went nuts but in Minny people don't get very excited
My girl friend was hollering at Sheppard during the BU and MN game (there
is a shocker) and people were like at her as if to scorn
her as ifwhat are you doing how dare you screem and have fun there is no
yelling here. The sport of hockey is about going nuts relax and loosen up a
bit (no throwing object though I can see hats after a hat trick but pop
can filled with spit not). I think it is sad that  more fans from the
student of (UOFM) don't get to see the games of the gophers that much
hey isnt it our schools right. Maybe the next Sioux-Gophers game should be at
the Target Center like the wisconsin series for one gamelet a few more
people go. 16 dollars a pop is rediculous and this 14 bucks for standing room.
180 dollars for season tickets is obnoxious. The students should revolt...
