  1. Copy BWW and that place is just waiting to make a killing. http://www.buffalowingsandrings.com/#/ Let's all chip in. Maybe REA could get into the for profit business.
  2. Wanna talk Fargo growth? Stanford is building a new half billion dollar hospital! Wow! Didn't know they had such demand. Sanford is pretty sure the states largest private sector employer with over 7,000 employees in Fargo alone. Wish they had bought Altru.
  3. I didn't see UND on the list so it's pretty inaccurate.
  4. Want Toppers without the long drive. Just go to Fuddruckers in any major city. Pour your own cheese and toppings.
  5. North Dakota is known as the Roughrider State!
  6. I posted this a year ago in this thread.
  7. Literally been hearing that for three years. I believe a favorite is "homecoming announcement".
  8. Or good thing it wasnt called "Walmart," the community would be in a uproar!
  9. Cause people like the taste of their pizza. Voted best pizza five years in a row. 33 pizzas to choose from. http://rhombuspizza.com/locations/grand-forks/ You can vote. Sept 22 town square. New contestants Marcos and pizza ranch.
  10. Slap a couple (or 3) gf's next to each other and you got Fargo. Fargos not even the largest city in the Dakotas, but do people really care that much about Sioux Falls?
  11. It's like saying softball and wrestling are NDSU's top sports. The reason they moved was I would agree geography. But I believe ORU is a basketball school first. Wouldn't be surprised if NDSU averaged more for baseball. Considering they had home crowds of 1,200 and 1,700 people.
  12. We beat Montana in basketball last year and we will beat them in football this year. Bank on it.
  13. Is that Bisonville logic? ORU basketball averages six times as many people as their baseball team.
  14. Yeah you named good places I forget. Rhombus guys. Great place. Unfortunately I missed Aaron's wedding reception at Rhombus Fargo. Parrots Cay. Pray for open seats. Needs to open another downtown location.
  15. Fun to go to IHOP to watch how bad the service is. I like bww. They are expanding. And JL Beers. Toasted Frog: A younger "hipper" Sanders. Heard the rumor southgate is closing. Turning it into Famous Dave's.
  16. "Even if the WAC survives, the conference is sure to take a hit financially. With the recent departures, most notably Boise State, and the conference's diminished ranking among NCAA football's non-automatic qualifying conferences, the WAC's TV contract with ESPN had already been reduced by 80 percent, according to Spear. That translates into roughly $450,000 in lost revenue for Idaho athletics, which has an overall budget of about $18 million, Spear said. That contract is sure to lose more value. "It's a big hit to our budget," Spear said." UND just got $200,000 a year "free money" that wasn't there before. Thanks to a small regional cable network. Pretty good compared to Idaho, not to mention money UND will receive from Root Sports. Wonder what Midco pays for FBS. " The winner of 9 of the last 14 FCS championship games either have already moved or are openly planning a move."
  17. Academics matter...more than any recent FCS Championship (EWU).
  18. From the bleacher report article: "If allowed, it could be a pretty brilliant plan to stay western but avoid the four horsemen. The Big Sky would have no leverage vs. a WAC that also sponsors FCS football. If the WAC also sponsored FCS sports, the odds of the WAC peeling away four Big Sky members skyrocket. " Sound familiar? Sounds a lot like star. seems to be the only way the WAC survives for any meaningful future.
  19. Gotta love not playing a game in the big sky yet reporters/bloggers consider us upper class: "The Big Sky is not going to willingly push any of the four likely roadblocks for WAC expansion (Montana, Montana State, Portland State, or North Dakota) into the WAC. It would be equally strategically foolish to push their middle class (Weber State, Sacramento State, Northern Arizona) into the WAC without binding assurances from the WAC."
  20. I fully expect UND to dominate the Big Sky this year.
  21. Isn't it about money and prestige? It's not BCS it's FBS. Say UND builds a 20000 arena, you don't think they could average 15000 playing Wyoming, UNLV, San Jose st, Fresno, Hawaii, like Idaho use to play at home. Plus home game against NDSU . People from the entire state would drive to Grand Forks to watch those games. Tons of Fargo people. Bring football to hockey's level! Und was averaging 10,000 playing Duluth and Mankato. Random Idaho games were on Espn. You get to be in NCAA football on playstation.

    Buy or Sell

    The 75 team against any other UND team? Based on accounts of others as I believe you weren't born yet?
  23. Remember this quote Sioux Fans. Old dominion athletic director: "Reason No. 2 is the same for Old Dominion as it is for Alabama: money and prestige. There is simply more of both in the bottom half of the FBS than in the top half of the FCS." FCS is old division two. UND needs to move to FBS should the opportunity present itself. And this time not be reactive!
  24. You, I, nor any students, besides one or two will ever have any say.
