They are (were? ) #1. But geez, the CSTV crew wants to have Red's baby.

Other than the new building going up (thanks to a gift) behind Harrington/Upson II or the Hydrogen Research Center at EERC, gee, I can't think of any.

Chem Eng ... Energy and Environmental Research Center ... anyone ... Bueller? And Chem Eng has decent ties to Geology and Geological Eng also. Now, for Aero, which is based from ... Mechanical. And these days Mechanical is becoming more and more Mechatronic (mechanical and electrical hybrid). There's a common core of course work in all engineering disciplines. You have one degree you have the first two years of most programs. However, engineering is good jobs. Before any of this talk should even be considered (by folks who do have the power) ... The first consolidation or realignment in the NDUS has to be closing some of the college campuses.

March 3, 2008 was a long time coming, but, finally, enlisted man Woody Keeble will be forever saluted by US military officers. Wherever he is, he earned that respect and honor. http://www.army.mil/-news/2008/02/22/7566-...medal-of-honor/ Congratulations to The fighting Sioux.

Folks, Joel was a Sioux fan. He was murdered this season. It just feels like poor form to make light of the subject.

Folks, it has to be said so I'll be the heavy: I struggle mightily with this theme this season because of Joel Lovelien. Please consider.

You assume one. Another could say: Have it next to a world-recognized aviation program. Spin away.

He's not just the AD at Denver, he's able to run the whole university. PS - Shouldn't pharmacy be with medicine also?

Seems more common than not (KFGO, WDAY, KSTP, WCCO, ... ). Right now there are more good questions than good answers.

I think you may have missed the opening play (if KVOX wasn't it). The (new) 50kW KVOX isn't the newest 50kW stick in the game. And like the link says, the new one is owned by the former Sioux Hockey public address announcer at Ralph Engelstad Arena. Very curious.

PCM's back?

Did you know: The co-owner of the LA Sparks is 1989 Miss North Dakota and UND alumna Carla Christofferson. Do the Sparks and Lynx playing in Grand Forks make more sense now?

And Denver doesn't play football.

It says Bamba was at a "(Name here) College" prep school which implies to me a prep school associated with a college, and thus they'd be freshmen. Rylan Kaip came from "Athol Murray College of Notre Dame" (the Notre Dame Hounds) so using the word "college" in a different context than we're used to seems common "north of the border".

(At risk of this detonating in my face ... ) Look at today's Fargo South hockey roster. If it was 2011, per the boundaries, most of those kids would be going to Fargo's (UND graduate-->) Judge Ronald Davies High School.

Geez Mike, don't hold back, tell us what's on your mind. :lol:

Close ... Summit League.

You have to pay the bills. An empty arena won't do it. Is that nice enough?

If the goal is to have UND womens hockey attendance exceed UND mens hockey attendance, this is surely the plan. If the goal is to play in the same conference as NDSU the day NDSU adds hockey, this is surely the plan. Otherwise, let's just say it leaves open opportunity for skepticism and harsh critique.

There is regional precedent regarding Montana Tech.

By which measure? Endowment? Harvard, a DI (an FCS school). Enrollment? NYU, sure, a DIII. But Stanford is smaller than UND or NDSU. Should they go DIII also? How about Duke? I thought according to some DI is all about the prestige and glory of the higher level of DI athletics. If privately funded DU wants to spend private dollars on athletics to chase that prestige and glory, in a word, so?

So if being a contender for a national title is the criteria, be careful, some may apply it to your favorite school. Why should DU jump through these hoops? http://www.uscho.com/news/college-hockey/i...yUpSchools.html Being DI is the easy answer for DU. Let's cut to the chase here: Why the sudden fetish for DU Athletics? Is it that the Sun Belt is looking to cast them off? Is it that they get "face time" on FSN - Rocky Mountain? Is it that as a non-FB school they'd be a nice add to a conference (Denver market) to make an even number of BB but odd number of FB programs in a western conference (like the Big Sky)? I never thought I'd be here justifying DU as a DI (especially after this weekend) but why the sudden "expertise" in DU Athletics and where they should be going?

Careful, I think I might know her and her parents ....
