  1. On the shelf next to the magnetic monopoles and magnetic monopole detectors. (The hard science types are chuckling; the rest are lost.)
  2. http://www.grandforksherald.com/articles/i...ection=homepage The man makes some pretty frank statements about reservation life and thinking.
  3. Wasn't Shantell Rivard "re-assigned" until the end of her contract?
  4. Personnel? As did I. Yet, somehow I felt like this news was slow to me, through this process at least ....
  5. From Laramie, seems to me Fort Collins (CSU) is about 70 miles away and Boulder (CU) is about 140 miles (and Denver is on the other side of both). They'd have a bigger impact than Wyoming State.
  6. I'm sure there's a good quote from "SpaceBalls" that'd work here.
  7. How many seats would sell for NDSU playing UND? We can safely say 19011 (UND in Fargodome). What if UND could get a "name" school for a game as a part of "weekend" of football and hockey? In reality, does an 11500 seat hockey arena seem practical in GF? But it works. Now, to contradict myself, no roof seems to me to be a bit of a problem given folks have gotten used to that feature.
  8. From another thread: More talk of Alerus and capacity. And what better place to put it than into the "bridge to nowhere" thread.
  9. Given this from another thread, Adding on to both ends? I'm not understanding that. Which direction (N-S like was, or E-W) is the new Sprinturf going in? Would the west grandstand be the sideline or endzone?
  10. They would just need to change their financial model. They now have Canad there. The phrase "convention center" would have to become their prime selling point. That, and maybe they could offer to become home to some other UND sports (like BB, or whatever) for a reasonable to both parties negotiated price.
  11. How much of this is because the (manufactured) hype about "higher level of play" and "tougher competition" and "better teams and better play" coming from some quarters now has to face the scrutiny of "UND 35, Northern Iowa 31" and "UND 37, Southern Utah 10"? Given that, you have to expect that some folks are going to wonder aloud about the emperor's (FCS's) clothes.
  12. But what about the other end of the horse.
  13. Why'd the phrase .... "insensitive and ill conceived" .... just jump into my head? Oh, that's why.
  14. Folks, keep your eye on the ball. A man named Myles is trying to fool you with smoke and mirrors. UND's case is based around: 1. Breech of Contract - The NCAA Executive Committee does not have authority to adopt legislation. The NCAA has breached the Contract in promulgating the Policy because the Executive Committee does not have the power to issue such policies. 2. Lack of Good Faith and Fair Dealing - When the NCAA has attempted to announce a standard, it has consistently and brazenly shifted its position in an arbitrary and capricious manner. 3. Unlawful Restraint on Trade - The Policy is a commercial boycott of members. Identified schools may not bid for or host earned championship events and thereby receive the economic and commercial benefits from hosting championship events and NCAA members are urged to stop scheduling regular season games with UND and other identified schools. In most circumstances, the Policy, as an undisputed group boycott, would be struck as a per se violation of the antitrust laws. UND is suing not over who reads Spirit Lake's document on what day and what they think it says, no matter what the NCAA is trying to now claim. UND is suing over breech, good faith, and a boycott. UND is suing under contract law.
  15. The mens hockey team will be playing water polo vs. the womens swimming team this week as a part of Potato Days festivities. Hockey's secret weapon: Coach Hak plans to give "The Stare" to the pool so his team won't have to swim, but will be able to skate.
  16. Yes, but all that gear really slows them down in the pool.
  17. Fixed it. Sure wish his parents would have named him Joe.
