Call me crazy, but Kelley just did the opposite he was trying to do. He is telling the world we have such a alcohol problem we need to not show people drinking beer on the big screen. The average fan did/doesn't know UND had an "alcohol problem" unless they searched for it/read some study done, but now Kelley is pointing it out/reminding everyone. Then some student fills out those US new and world report survey, and the light bulb goes off in their head..."oh yeah that right we do have a alcohol problem. I remember reading about that in the Herald...check!" If you want to increase the number of students applying to your school being known as a party school would probably help.

Here is what we are going to do. Anytime anyone is on the big screen we are going to proudly hold up our beer in honor of Beer Grandma and in dishonor of Kelley.

Isn't "calling the herald" "announcing it?" There is no doubt a fraction of the population wants the sins of life outlawed (the ones left): alcohol and tobacco (there has even been a push on caffeine). Kelley just might be one of them. *Its UND policy no smoking outside on campus. And now Kelley just told REA not to show old people drinking beer on the video board! Insanity.

Thanks for the response Jayson. Matt Schill is a good person. and smart.

I am going to go out on a limb and guess, "the sioux," "north dakota," are indeed not owned by "UND" like you claim.

Right. Jayson you listening? We are all waiting.....

Since Cal Poly is ranked ahead of Southern Utah in the polls.... Should the Sioux win can we expect to see Mussman get dumped with Gatorade again like at Southern Utah?

That's another thing that reminds me of how the Alerus killed Sioux football. At Memorial Stadium you could leave the game and come back in. If you want people to stay after halftime. Let them go "have fun" chill at their "campsites" drink a few beers listen to the radio/watch tv. Make it a social event.....the radio says the game is getting close again....let the fans back into the building!!

The Gophers are the best hockey team ever! There is simply no denying that.

Are you preaching to lawmakers?

One things fans need to remember student attendance has never been that good. It peaked with a new Alerus Center and championship runs in 01-06. I was only a teenager but I remember looking at the student section at the Memorial Stadium and wondering where the students were. FBS is the only thing that will make students excited. This isn't NDSU where its "our" number one sport. This coming from a diehard former student that would attend both hockey and football games religiously (probably like most of us that donate lots of our time on siouxsports.com). Me and my bros would even wake up to go to McMenamy's for 3-1's at 7 am!! But unfortunately many don't share our passion. FYI student sections at sioux hockey games don't usually sell out, its looks full after the general public is allowed to buy the rest of their unused tickets.

Yup UND already does something similar. One the sport UND cares most about Hockey http://www.fightingsioux.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=13500&ATCLID=205316251

The Alerus killed the students/atmosphere/tailgating. Look up the definition of blowback. Charging people to tailgate? really? Student tailgate for free? But they have to be in their own "special section?" Nobody puts baby in a corner.

You act like the rest of the Alerus Center is sold out besides the student section. Tons of empty seats everywhere. Football season tickets are pretty dirt cheap. You want to give the general public those seats? So basically you want to decrease the Alerus Center atmosphere even more? Because then with all the open seats in the Alerus, student would just move to the corner.

Wow a 22 team football league! I guess the sky is the limit.

The only thing ever holding NDSU back is how they continually compare themselves to UND (insert NDSU fans here)! Yet their total appropriations to NDSU will have gone up 96% from the 2003 – 2005 biennium through the end of this year: Talk about government waste!

If NDSU's budget was so tight they wouldn't have given nearly twice the tuition waivers UND gave. :lol:

Tight budget? So NDSU can give more tuition waivers?

current president. i guess not always. My bad.

My argument? My argument that North Dakota resides in the Mountain Standard Time? Thats a fact. Think small my friend. Think small. Montana will always go to bat for UND. Even if/when they go to the FBS. Another fact. I know its a big deal for NDSU fans to be "DI." Hence their football attendance increase. UND fans are use to their number one sport being D!. Its no big deal to them to still be playing football in a second fiddle division (AA). Its been stated UND's ultimate goal is FBS. That will get the university truly excited. I can't believe NDSU waited this long to move to IAA/FCS. In reality NDSU should already be in the WAC. NDSU could already to Boise St. There obsession with UND truly does keep them back.

Does NDSU want more money so they can give more tuition wavers to increase enrollment?

They are funded the same. NDSU and UND are funded the same as their categories of "peer institutions". Should all schools be funded the same per student? SCSU, UMD, and Minnesota, BSU, UND, and NDSU? Its all a grand conspiracy to keep NDSU down!!!!

Didn't they burn down?
