  1. Hopefully he doesn't jinx the team.
  2. Doubtful. Cause it'd probably get a bunch of boos.
  3. I think you get a few average joes across the country that don't follow it close. Saw a vote for UND nickname and all the hype. Voted. And probably thought that was the end of it.
  4. They need to do the simple things that help. Ok You wanna sell beer in the catwalk, Ok you wanna point it toward the field making the line in front of it directly block the walkway. At least put a small crowd control "rope" directing the people in line to the side and not directly in front blocking the walkway. Minor things, but they are somewhat problematic with only 8,000 people. Couldn't imagine the clusterfu*k with 13,000.
  5. The new Video Boards (along other smaller or convention side things/kitchen upgrades etc) and I'm glad they have the plan and finances to keep it upgraded. I just think it'd be nice if they did more for the arena side. Like multiple things mentioned here before before: Upgrades to the hallway walls, Put a ceiling to cover the pipes. Put an actual floor down instead of painted concrete, etc. Maybe those things are next.
  6. The city of Grand Forks really does need to be thinking about how to raise funds to upgrade/update the Alerus Center, It's 15 years old now. Every year that goes by it becomes more outdated. And that's not good for no one. The Alerus whether you like it or not is a show/center piece of Grand Forks, this isn't the Old Civic Center, and the Civic Leaders of Grand Forks need to make sure it stays current. They did an excellent job with the upgrade a few years ago to the convention side with all the exterior glass and the new video boards (Where did that money come from?) But not much has changed in the arena side besides a few minor things.

    Bye Week

    Interesting read at: http://www.hcpress.com/sports/the-best-record-doesnt-always-mean-home-field-stadium-quality-money-play-role-in-fcs-site-selection.html Crazy there's a small chance UND might be hosting a playoff game! (I knocked on wood)
  8. I call Boeser a Junior, because next season will probably be his last in a UND jersey.

    I think its dumb they have a bidding process to see who hosts games. Give the higher seed the home game. They earned the right.
  11. Probably never experience Memorial Stadium either. I was a teenager during the end of Memorial Stadium, went to a couple games (maybe later in the season). I barely remember the games, what I do remember was thinking "where are the students?"....I think there was literally 10 students front row in the corner someone pointed out to me. I was impressed about the same as at my Central High football games.
  12. Amazing. And this whole time I thought it was one giant link.
  13. That would explain his playoff selection picks.
  14. I'm not a fan of all this playoff talk right now. Even if UND wins its next two games.
  15. This video is currently making the rounds. http://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2015/11/04/plane-parachute-emergency-landing-dnt.kfsm Made by Cirrus (manufacturing plant in Grand Forks) and the BRS of St. Paul, MN, probably just saved the life of former Walmart CEO, Bill Simon.
  16. Sometimes I search my owner (or others) content under their username. I know on the old software when you clicked the headline or post it took you directly to that certain post within the thread. Does this software not have that or am I not finding it? It just seems to take me to the beginning of the thread and I have to search the entire thread for it.
  17. Because it's going to be the new nickname of UND forever. The quicker you accept that the easier your life will become. One thing you notice with all this nickname change is how actual uninspired so many names/logos are in college athletics: Redhawks, Bison, Gophers, Coyotes, Ducks, Badgers. The new nickname/logo will grow on people. And it'll become less of an issue everyday that goes by.
  18. I'll also be buying new logo merchandise, whatever the new logo is.
  19. Barely looks like a penalty, let alone a suspension. Saw no elbow come up. Didn't leave his feet. Might have barely (accidentally) caught has the bottom of the CC's helmet with his shoulder. ( I don't even think he touched the CC's players helmet/head You can see the CC player turning his head right before the hit in preparing). With most(if not all) contact being shoulder to shoulder. Definitely wasn't malicious with intent to injure.
  20. Just a ploy to negotiate better terms this upcoming contract talks.
  21. ...some guy with too much to drink trying to really hard make sense of anything in his mind for Nodaks. Its where the phrase "epic fail" came from.
  22. Yup. Basically worth more than Engelstad was.
  23. Read the chat. Made me look up Peter Nygard again. One rich dude. Nice place in the Bahamas, and pioneer in stem cell research.
  24. Says no one but Wild fans.
  25. From what we've been told that only makes sense.
