Tom Miller reviews the Paul Sather hire as the next head coach for UND Men's Basketball. (9 minute audio)

Nice way to get a rip in of UND Hockey on a new mens basketball hire thread. Well done!

Northern State is to Mens Basketball as UND is to Mens Hockey. NSU lead D2 in mens basketball attendance. Biggest thing in the town of Aberdeen. About 3,700 fans per game. South Dakota is to Basketball as Minnesota is to Hockey.

You still going to stick around the site now that your guy didn't get hired?

To rip on Brian Jones.

Auto racing, like many subcultures, are hard to understand if you're not apart of it. The largest sports venues in the United States aren't football stadiums but race tracks. The Grand Fork Race Track averages between 3,000-6,000 fans per race. It has often been named as one of the top tracks, if not the top track, in the country. In a week, 18 time winner of the Monster Energy Nascar Cup Series, Kasey Kahne, will be racing in Grand Forks, along with a sold out crowd to watch. He races in the World of Outlaws Sprint Car series. They just had a race this Monday in Indiana. The guy who won that race on Monday was Kyle Larson, the guy who won Nascar's All Star race two weeks ago.

By average attendance, dirt track racing is probably the third most popular sport in Grand Forks. Right behind UND football and hockey.

You can tell it's the offseason!

Lots of hockey championships with the Fighting Sioux logo.

Herald went down the crapper ever since Forum Communications bought it.

That's where I'm at.

Tiffin is my pick.

The Miami Redhawks have a trademarked and copyrighted name of The Brotherhood owned solely by the hockey team. They claim: If the UND hockey team wants to have the same thing informally known as the Sioux, I'm not going to cry about inclusiveness. I'm not going to cry if a former Fighting Sioux hockey player has a fun poke at the current nickname he probably doesn't like. I'm not going to cry about a former Fighting Sioux hockey player and current coach clicking a like button on a website. I'm going to realize there will always be people that complain about people who "can't move on." I'm going to realize there will always be people who don't want to move on. I can accept both for who they are.

Anyone tried King Pho's?

He's married to a Grand Forker.

I don't think its going to seem that big in person. It's not even as tall as the old one.

Crazy to think the arena is almost 20 years old and it opened with tube tv's in the concourse.

Idk. All they could have done was make it gold, which was hard to read. Gotta get that brand name to pop.

The evolution of scoreboards just make sense. Instead of tall and skinny, they (Ralphs, The X, etc) now align more with Tv's and cinema screens. As that's the purpose of them now instead of the former primary purpose of "boards that hold the score." Looks about the same height as the old scoreboard, just wider now.

I'm under the impression the other top ring to be added won't be a video board but "static" signage.

Back around 2003 there was a Chinese restaurant in a strip mall between Walmart and Sams club (before it was it expanded into a "Super Walmart") in Grand Forks I went to eat there one day and it was closed with a note on the door. Something to the extend of "all animals have been taken to the humane society." I didnt think much of it til a few years ago later when I started hearing things about Chinese restaurants "reputation."

KVLY just reported live pigeons were found in the basement of the King House Buffet in Fargo.

Dumb.

When I was growing up I heard about how those 40" CRT TV's were so massive and no one needed such a big tv!
