Cratter

I'd take the chance to beat the Gophers in a Bowl game any day over playing Sam Houston State for a natty.

Went to my first Vikings game at TCF Bank. Not impressed. It's like they built the concourse with the thought it would never sell out. So crowded in the concourse people ( & I) at one point moved five feet in ten minutes...Lots of people unhappy and turned around to go to their seats, ....Half the seats are the old school bench seats, and one of the end zones scoreboard is smaller than the Alerus's, and a "Video Ring" that only goes a few yards (unlike most that go the whole arena like the Ralph or at least half). If one didn't know any better they'd think TCF Bank Stadium was built in the 90's.

Thanks, not sure what all that neg rep was about in my previous post. It was a valid question. And with your answer it helps me to establish a trend in that the last two natty's by UND had stellar first half of the season (but of course anything could happen).

They got their wish: Anything But Sundogs. Anything but Force. Anything but a Unique name...oh wair Nevermind.....Everyone that changes from a native american name goes to a bird. UND = Angry Birds. Maybe the students (alumni?) are smarter than we think....look for enrollment to increase 50%+ based on our subtle coolness of an app game. UND Angry Birds.....way more awesome than Fighting Hawks....Petition the Change! FYI the longer time go along and the longer you wear you wear Fighting Sioux gear the "more awesomer" you become.....MN North Stars...Winnipeg Jets (before they came back).

Ok the last championship @ UND won has a similar record to this year at the halfway point (but parity) But what did 1997 look like at the half way point?

Some would point out the number of teams in a level is relative to the number of games one plays in a season. (and by that metric College Hockey could use a lot more teams).

Ohio State on a tear lately....Who would have thunk....All Gail the BTHC!

The "fix was definitely in" for Shaw as the next UND hockey coach. These guys seem to be tailoring the process for the one they have in mind. Which makes the guessing process (and North Dakota "Logistic Laws") that much easier. Let's see how much the GF media cares about football and basically nails down the candidate a few months in advance before the announcement like Schlossy did with Shaw. .....Lennon would be a welcome addition.

I believe I saw gas prices right now are (with adjusted for inflation) the lowest it's been since the 70's....(cant be good for ND oil). ....(It's like the movies: "Greatest grossing film of all time." We duh...There's a gazillion more people in the world (USA) and inflation makes that "statistic" not that amazing.) But they don't talk about how the gas at that price seem to be diluted with 10% ethanol. What's it adjusted to when pure gas is fifty cents higher? Gotta love those bumper stickers (who has bumper stickers anymore anyways : "Gas was $1.XX when Bush took office...Gas was $X.XX when Clinton was in office." I swear it seems like whenever there's we are on a verge of an (general) election gas prices seem to plummet.

Simonson gas in GF: $1.94 Simonson gas in Bemidji: $1.83 That competition in Hillsboro: $1.72.

Oddly enough by there own guestimates there is much more competition per capital in Grand Forks of 38 in gf vs 68 in West/Fargo. Which would be equivalent to West Fargo/Fargo having about a 100 gas stations...wouldn't it make sense to mention that in the article? So I think the validity of those numbers might be questionable also. But what also matters is how many different owners/companies relative to per capital. Article does no critical nor in depth thinking. Written about a HS level.

$10 of the $13 Million came from two corporate sponsors with one being $9 Million. Meaning the rest of the donations only totaled 23%. Which could mean without more large future corporate sponsors phase II could take awhile.

I've got the same thing Hooker has. It can take months to "heal" if not a year. So he'll more than likely be battling it the whole season. I'm sure resting it along with compression socks and and this popular Amazon product (Due North Massage Ball) based in Grand Forks will help. Guessing some games (days) will be worse than others. And he'll probably do his best to "tough it out."

Got my first Fighting Hawks apparel as a Christmas Gift. Guess I'll be at the acceptance stage a lot quicker than I planned on. It's too nice a goodie not to wear. And in hindsight a decent way as I didn't have to spend my own money on my first FHAWK apparel.

$1.64 in Fargo.

Bisons admitted for us the real reason is it is because NDSU is still butthurt after a decade. Might not ever get over it til a UND president apologizes in the NDSU student newspaper for hurting their feelings.

As long as most of us can remember UND has had the consistence through the last few logos of: "Side view of the head." No reason to stop the tradition now.

Supported by the fact a decade later Bison fans bring it up on a UND sports forum before it's fifth straight national FCS title.

Those grapes are always going to be sour at NDSU...."Let it Go."

NDSU doesn't want to play UND in Grand Forks because they are afraid of what would happen if UND won. Or They still have sour grapes. One or the other.

Not bad. I like the gf star and subtle state of nd outline.

If the Bison win Five. I have to wonder if to the outside world (non FCS fans) it makes FCS Football even more "second rate" and appears their isn't much competition. Not saying its true but when Mount Union seems to win the D3 championship every year that's what I think.

Toews>Boeser>Parise>=<Oshie

Mafia just text me asking' "Whats a ipod they are talking about on SiouxSports." I said I don't know. I think it's like a iphone without the phone part.

Let's argue if a tails is better than the "state side of a quarter." Or a head, but we all know the heads win. Its the only consistant traditional part we all love. Will you use the "new state quarters" or only use the tail side of a traditional when buying that coke? I just love the quarter for its all purpose beauty. **channeling my inner fetch**
