A few things (College Hockey Related)

This past Friday I had a chance to participate in the Galen Nagle Golf Tourney at the Bemidji Town and Country Club and it was a great time and the tournament as always was run well and everything went off smoothly. If you get a chance to go over to Bemidiji and play the BTCC the course is in great shape. The fairways are some of the best I have ever hit a ball off of. Of course I am usually not in the fairway, but the woods aren’t bad either. :)

For the Galen Nagle golf tourney I played with Chase Schmidtt, Mike Williams, Scott Robbins, Scott Williams (TV voice of the Beavers Hockey Team) and we were one of the teams that didn't place. We couldn't putt.

Tickets are hard to come by for BREC Opener

Word on the street is that don’t expect to get tickets for the opening series between the BSU Beavers and the UND Fighting Sioux at the new BREC, they are going to be hard to come by. The building seats 4000-5000 people and the BSU ticket office has sold 80% of the building already. Also, there will be about 500 tickets set aside for BSU students as well as 400 tickets for UND. So it’s going to be tough getting a seat to see the Beavers and the Sioux open the new building. According to the Beavers Head Coach Tom Serratore the series is going to be a sell out.

TV coverage of BSU and UND series?

There is some hope though. What I am hoping for is that the games will be picked up by FSSN channel 23 on Midco.net. Recently; Midco.net moved into the Bemidji, Minnesota market, so it's not outside the realm of possibility that FSSN 23 could possibly pick up the broadcast(s) for one or both games so Sioux fans will be able to see the game. This past season UND both games were picked up between the Sioux and the Bulldogs. I think as we get closer to the series fans should flood the Midco office with emails and phone calls.

  1. Sorry I didn't get to talk to you Goon, time just wouldn't allow it. Getting to the BTCC 15 minutes before tee off (damn detours for road construction) and then having to high tail it home after dinner (Twins game the next day), it didn't leave a whole lot of time. We couldn't putt either, but I don't think I have ever putted on greens that FAST! If you sneezed, your ball would roll.

    Just an FYI, and I posted this over on the Sioux Forum, but BSU and the BREC have partnered with StubHub as a season ticket holder outlet. As the BSU series gets closer, you may want to check that site out for any available tickets.

  2. yeah it's too bad that we didn't cross paths at the tourney. The food after the tourney was really good as well.

  3. Had I known that you were golfing in Bemidji I could have let you borrow my kick ass game worn Channing Boe jersey. I know you long to wear a Maverick jersey and would have represented the home town boy!

    Learn to putt!! :) Kidding, I can't putt either. I always blame the greens.
