Did I miss what they did with the "old banners"? That set will probably fetch a pretty penny at the Gala as the "last (and only) Ben Brien Sioux logo hockey championships banners" and the ones that first flew when the new Ralph opened.

One of the hottest restaurants in Grand Forks: Northside Cafe. Parking lot is always full during lunch. Or maybe it's all the construction workers expanding Simplot nearby.

Grand Forks grows by about 800-1000 people per year. It is what it is. That's usually about 5-8 new large apartment complexes, 50-100 houses, and 4-6 new businesses (and/or existing ones expanding). One new business being built right now is just off the interstate and 32nd ave next to Revolutions Power Sports. Anyone know what it is?

For sure. I'd like to see some Naturdays too added.

Moser would tell you it sounds like the NDUS President isn't happy that UND is going to get a nice new Union and says UND is going to be more of an online ed school soon so they don't need a new union.

Well that's odd.

Whenever I go to Taco Bell, with their expansive menu, I'm reminded of the old Jim Gaffigan joke: http://www.cc.com/video-clips/pymif1/comedy-central-presents-bottled-water TJ's gotz the Ole's.

They weren't kidding about the theatre-like atmosphere.

SOG Sweep!

UND: Please transition away from the Sioux logo. UND: Come buy our new Fighting Sioux merchandise now available at a Scheels near you.

Miami transitioned away from the Redskins in 1997 and that transition still isn't complete yet.

All that scoreboard and still not enough room on it to fully display the teams logos. Lol

Almost childish...

Not much competition for those types of awards in North Dakota.

The video boards above the entrances are going to be cool. Its all going to add up to a pretty good new experience at the Ralph.

Is that what the voices in your head were telling you I wrote?

Yeah. Same with Schmaltz on the team.

For sure. Same without Boeser.

https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/2725005-Number-of-NHL-draft-picks-on-UNDs-roster-is-on-the-rise The natty team had 13. And that was the lowest since 08-09.

Midco televised the races live last night from Grand Forks. Now GF legend, Mark Dobmeier, is on national tv, DirecTv channel 214 racing in Iowa.

She's probably working out the details right now. Just deciding what building she wants her name on.

She said she wouldn't contribute to the university. She continued to contribute money to a private hockey arena in Grand Forks.

I don't have Midco so I forgot about their weekly dirt track racing recap show, Midco Motorsports. But luckily they upload them to their YouTube channel. Here's the latest with the WoO at Grand Forks and an interview with former Nascar driver Kasey Kahne when he was in town. Also featured is a neat segment on EGF driver, Tom Corcoran, who has been racing for 50 years.

"The study recommends the University rent space in the "Herald Building" and the city to add more direct bus routes from downtown to UND." ...."oh yeah and some bumpouts and new trees too. Have to increase that "walkability score."

"Double whammy" usually means two negatives. I believe BarnWinter meant it as two positives though. The university gets ticket money even when they don't show up and the Big Ten Network gets increased viewership if they stay home and watch the game instead. Which in turn means.... Increased viewership in BTN means bigger payments to Big Ten schools.
