  1. "Get a grip, before you slip" - CEO Jon Larson on the Website. At a Walmart near you.
  2. Good think we ain't playing Sioux Falls this year.
  3. Red River is also known as a river. Somehow that seems to work out ok in Grand Forks too.
  4. The Six Daktana schools should be together. That is all.
  5. I would like to highlight a few Grand Forks businesses that I have noticed have put a dent in the world I have personally run into that aren't well known (feel free to add). When I was 18 (15 years ago) I started doing drywall and painting for Leftyzl's (siouxsports poster) uncle. I started to notice a drywall lift that was made by Telpro, and it was the the only lift available to my knowledge. Stamp with a made in Grand Forks, ND sticker on it. It was the "Cadillac" of lifts known to people throughout the World (along with their other drywall products). https://telproinc.wordpress.com/ http://www.amazon.com/Telpro-PANELLIFT-PanelLift-Drywall-Lifter/dp/B0000224PE I'm not sure, but I think they might have had a patent and lost it, (and market share) to other companies and cheap Chinese labor. What use to cost $700 is now available at Menards for under $200 from a different company. I really have no idea. Maybe they never had a patent and I have just noticed more brands as I got older. I know they use to have a warehouse on "Merifield Road." I thought that building was for sale. Did they move or go out of business? Idk. Looking at the Amazon account they are still in business. While working for Leftyzl's uncle, we did a remodel of a guys place. I randomly saw the owners architectual drawings for his dream "garage/man cave shop".....and a few months later when I "went on my own" a guy called me up to drywall and painting for his new shop. It just happened to be the guy who was ready to build his dream garage. He ran/owned "Sure foot Corporation" http://www.duenorthproducts.com/ Back then I noticed the main product was those elastic strap on your shoes/boots spikes for walking on ice/snow. He was finally building his dream location. Loft for smoking cigars, poker table, projector for watching "the game", and black and white checkered floor for his toys below. Green and white exterior for "UND colors". (just off south University). Fast forward five years and I have now planter factitious on my foot and was researching amazon for relief and I noticed they have the #1 seller on amazon for "Manual Foot Massagers" http://www.amazon.com/Due-North-Foot-Massage-Green/dp/B002QEY6NK/ref=sr_1_1?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1443070978&sr=1-1. And finally again working for someone else I found myself working at PS Doors ((A proud UND sports supporter) finishing drywall and painting as they were once again expanding their manufacturing shop. But this time it also just happened to be my best friends dads company since we were 12 years old . I've been watching this company almost close it doors before 1997 flood to a worldwide leader in anything door. ... While misconception believes they door residential and garage doors like any other company. They rarely do these as it accounts for less than 25% of their business. They mostly do "safety gates" and have numerous patents and are so busy shipping products all over the world they had not only built a new manufacturing plant in the industrial park but have had to expand multiply times recently to keep up with the demand. They have "flood safety gates" protecting anything from NASA to the Pentagon (Me: "Hey buddy, What's New"...."Oh I just got back from DC making sure the pentagon contractors properly installed the floating flood door). http://www.psdoors.com/ And there's also ACME tools (another great sponsor of UND athletics). Who recently built a multimillionaire dollar distribution center in the industrial park to fulfill their even expanding enterprise (is it thanks to the success of Amazon?). But I have no stories as they hired other drywall and painters to do the work The Future of Grand Forks needs more business like this. (My product: Mobile Mancaves prototype is 80% complete as funds roll in...stay tuned.)
  6. Lets just do the "NCHC" for football, basketball etc. Manifest Destiny Baby! Idaho Idaho State Montana Montana State North Dakota North Dakota State South Dakota South Dakota State Northern Iowa Nebraska Omaha* Denver* *add whatever other teams to "round it out."
  7. Its definitely robbery season. Another Robbery tonight in the Fargo area.
  8. Well I'm out.
  9. Will UND try and buy the hawks logo from the Blackhawks?
  10. Not schedule NDSU anymore because they play cheap, dirty, and intent to injure..
  11. So non construction projects are getting delayed. You are one interesting character. All this is starting to make sense now.
  12. Did anyone ask what your source was? No. Asked what projects. Try again.
  13. My source said the NDSU football players are getting upset that the money is drying up under the table. And they are starting to believe its a shell game. They are now starting to think about going to the NCAA. The kingdom might collapse for NDSU football soon.
  14. Mussmans teams had better offenses.
  15. Lets talk about starting the second string quarterback before we start talking about starting our third string quarterback.
  16. My statements are as true as yours now.
  17. Now I know what its like to be a UND football fan in the 80s, but at least I got to know what it was like to be a UND football fan of the late 90s and early 2000s first.
  18. Its ok to say what project delayed anonymously on a message board. Don't be scared. UND is a public university. Nothing you say will be anything new. Admittedly you got nothing. I heard NDSU football is cheating big time. Donors are giving NDSU players straight cash every week under the table.
  19. Maybe the hurry up offense is the way to beat the Bison.
  20. So admittedly you got nothing.
  21. He's not fair weather. He's a sunny weather fan.
  22. Just stop. Go back to the Nickname Section.
  23. See you at the Alerus Center is 7 days to relive the glory days against UC Davis.
