You have really been struggling the last couple weeks, especially for such a great football mind.

I'm listening to fox on I heart on computer.

If the announcers are announcing our weak schedule already, that means the committee surely will hear about it.

Don't forget the shout out to the world largest buffalo in Jamestown. Or is "North Dakota playing with 15 guys?"

The commentators are awesome so far though.

You must spend a lot of time analyzing UND fans.

The first game of last year didn't have the CBS line together.

I'm really enjoying the modification I did to my Berry Bobblehead.

You mean with the Hawks logo for the football helmet? I noticed at Scheels they had the interlocking ND with a flat green finish so those are somewhat up to date. I'm sure in a year or so they'll be out....I had the same thought about mini goalie und helmets also while at Scheels admiring the Wild ones.....you listening siouxshop?! It's pretty much a no brainer! (Hopefully they leave anything hawks related off it though....oh maybe a dacotah legacy collection one!)

Pick it up DU!!

Canisicus is worse than Manitoba.

Wonder if they are buying less "bandwidth" to save costs? Youtube here streams in hd on WiFi no problem...this nchc.tv right now not so much.

That's a lot of deferred maintenance costs. I won't hold my breath for anything resembling "dinky town" as there was lots of talk about how the Bronson Property would turn into also. What is Dinkytown basically a mini downtown? And I believe the laws states (gf) there has to be so many parking spots per business (dt is grandfathered?)

Yeah I only ever made and sold one (we also chatted on ebay about any other "cool" UND stuff I might have...I learned my etched sioux mirror is apparently prone to fading?). I was worried (felt bad) not being a pro ebay shipper about them rattling around and breaking or scratching. Glad to see they appeared to make it to you in pretty good condition. I still haven't even gotten around to making my own set again. Sodbusters must be from InHeavenThereIsNoBeers wife.

Hmmmm, small world because I made that set and sold it to a guy on ebay in Bismarck....Cool to see the same guy on SiouxSports. I didn't want to sell them but wanted some extra spending money for Tampa. I had no idea someone makes something similar...I'd be curious to see what your wives look like.

oh no you quoted me before i got the quick edit in....delete that part or we'll have a long discussion of what is "is"....

You're finally getting it. I guess the statement that the Ralph guaranteed the pot would be $50,000 or above was correct.

Did you write the Herald asking them to change the language of the article? maybe you, the herald, and the Ralph can agree with the right amount and terminology to use.

Regardless of ones personal preference, it's important to let people know the jackpots at the Ralphs 5050 isn't ones winnings. You sure your not a lawyer or at least want to be? And just like to argue. They absolutely guaranteed the pot would be $50,000 it's not even a question! Because otherwise they would have guaranteed the pot was $25,000. I can't believe I'm having this conversation. (You can go ask jody how much the office pool got to in the Ralph about how large they thought the "pot" was going to get that night...hint it started out at $50,000)... The article linked states this in the first sentence. ...... "The Ralph Engelstad Arena will hold a 50/50 raffle with a $50,000 pot". And then the next line could have read but 82SiouxGuy says "but it's not a guarantee that the pot will actually be $50,000. (Boy that would be confusing just like 82s implied "well the other $25,000 was never guaranteed by anyone to go to UND making it not a true 5050." )

Not sure if this has been posted but game worn UND football jerseys are on sale at the SiouxShop for $40 iirc.

The pot* was guaranteed to be at least $50,000. *Pot at the Ralph is always announced as full amount and not what individual winnings are.

Whhhhaaatttt?!

Yeah it was two days collected into one and guaranteed (Ralph or a business?) to be above $50,000.

One reason it jumps up quicker now could be didn't they start accepting cards and they never did before? as it's all digital now unlike the old paper tickets...
