  1. CHL continues to produce less and less NHL talent while more and more attend college hockey. Between college hockey players now getting paid, along with the NHL knowing the way to increase its market is to market its former college hockey players; the CHL feels threatened.
  2. Believe 07. Member Jennies or was it Jeanies? Isn't that an auto parts store now? Seems they are everywhere and the old Playmaker lot too IIRC.
  3. Size is way to big for most, especially local restaurants. Add in the age, location, and cost to remodel/tear down. That building is a lost cause. It's makes way more sense to lease in a strip mall on 32nd or build new. In an area where people actually go to the mall & surrounding businesses. Just down the street next door to taco Johns, another good location, that nobody can seem to make work (not to mention the old Hardee's/Dickies building).
  4. It would also be one hell of a game UND vs some AHL teams. We could go round and round.
  5. Second best attendance is the nation for a new conference is hardly "struggling."
  6. I think this is the guy who basically called Bismarck (paraphrasing) a bunch of racists (reading between the lines because he now lives in big bad liberal Fargo)....couple articles about him organizing the protest few weeks ago including rob ports say anything blog.
  7. And a $2 remote to lock and unlock the car in the officers pocket could solve that "issue."
  8. Me in the library at Lewis and Clark Elementary about 20 some years ago, a young Cratter wasnt paying attention to the librarian during the learning of the Dewey decimal system days. She wasn't happy and claimed "This is important stuff! You'll need to know it for the rest of your life!" And then computers came out to search the data base....which begs the question how did one know what books were on hand and the subjects before computers? Big indexes on hand?...maybe I should have paid attention as I'd know more about "history." Lol "Dad what's that old adandoned building? That use to be what was called a library: a house of books...people used to read them on paper..and that building? Used to be a place to rent VHS tapes..."VHS tapes?."
  9. You got a new laptop, you get a new laptop....the $2,000,000 it costs to run the library a year would buy a new computer every year for 12% of the entire Grand Forks population....or better yet 70% of residents can get a new Amazon Fire Tablet every year. http://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Fire-7-Inch-Tablet-8GB/dp/B00TSUGXKE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1464233501&sr=8-2&keywords=amazon+kindle 98% of Grand Forks residents already have internet access.
  10. For the cost of a new library, every person in Grand Forks could be given a brand new laptop. And the $2,000,000 plus a year it takes to run the current library (how much to run a newer larger one? $4,000,000 a year?) Would buy a lot of wifi throughout town (if not it's entirety.)
  11. There's already a public library very close to downtown GF.
  12. Hey UNDBIZ it's about that time....
  13. Talking about adding them on the sides (and or bottom) like the Alerus. Not necessarily on the actual video area...since naturally that's the area the eyes will be. But of course I'm sure there will be some ads either stationary or intermittent also on the actual boards.
  14. Nchc.tv made $250,000. NCHC conference made $1.2 million last year. CBS Sports picked up the "fourth year option" on the contract which probably means the ratings were pretty good. All good things for the strength of the conference.
  15. The party's not over. There's a two minute featurette of Through These Doors as they are at the Twins game.
  16. They got smarter and changed the narrative, making it sound like it's a foregone conclusion. "Where should we put our new library?" "Here's what it'll look like." "Ohh that's nice." "Just vote yes on August 38th and it'll be all yours." IIRC any sales tax increase has to be voted on by the public so that part is inevitable. And will keep getting voted upon til finally approved.
  17. (Former) Athletic Directors at some Big Sky schools have said they should go FBS. As I've said before these things come and go as people at the school do...one day Montana and Montana State will be FBS it's just a matter of when not if.
  18. Gage's hop after the fifth UND goal was classic!
  19. Learn how to use the quote box Kent..(..is that the right movie or context? I'm not that old to know.)....You keep affirming the "73" part to me the more you post...You make me not look forward to getting old!
  20. Did you just agree with this title and rip your own fan base?
  21. Matt Henderson & Drake Cagguila Bar Down!
  22. UND and the Big Sky could go FBS .... Do you know the difference between could and will?
  23. "Holy Schnikes, Bar down. Hands up!" '"You're killing me Schmaltz!" "Senior leadership!" "170 feet of heaven!" "North Dakota is going to the CHAMPIONSHIP GAME!" "Finally at long last North Dakota returns to the Championship Game! But one More hill to climb for this long and proud program!!!..." "North Dakota gets the all important FIRST GOAL!" "Lighting Strikes Twice!" "The Party has started in Grand Forks!" "Stick a Grand Forks in them!"
  24. Yeah yeah the score was 5-1 instead of 5-4....Good job buddy!
