  1. They replaced the cooling elements. That problem is suppose to be fixed.
  2. I heard you have a mancrush on coach hak.
  3. Just point out that this Sioux win wasn't necessarily an upset (according to his computer ranks which is used by the BCS). 50-50 http://masseyratings.com/team.php?t=5538&s=101140
  4. This team is fun to watch...and they are young! They have come a long ways together this year. They are making good progress. The future looks bright.
  5. You are holding on to a pipe dream. Still be "here" unofficially. UND will not be officially known as the Fighting Sioux. The bill will not pass.
  6. Yeah cause its so hard to make a phone call these days. I wonder how people have time to browse message boards. They must got have much going on.
  7. Gotta love those 5 suburban "small" cities in the top 20 from one metro. How could Minn/St Paul not be the best large city?
  8. Don't forget Sioux fans, the games also on Fox College Sports.
  9. If UND goes with one of the two quarterbacks I watched at Montana, I would expect 4-7. (the last 7 games for UND last year, they went 1-7) Thu, Sep 01 Drake (Military Appreciation Day) Grand Forks, N.D. 7:00 p.m. Win Sat, Sep 10 Idaho at Moscow, Idaho TBA Loss Sat, Sep 17 Fresno State at Fresno, Calif. TBA Loss Sat, Sep 24 Black Hills State (Hall of Fame/Potato Bowl) Grand Forks, N.D. 6:00 p.m. Win Sat, Oct 01 Southern Utah * at Cedar City, Utah TBA Loss Sat, Oct 08 Montana Western Grand Forks, N.D. 1:00 p.m. Win Sat, Oct 22 Cal Poly (Homecoming) * Grand Forks, N.D. 1:00 p.m. Loss Sat, Oct 29 Northern Colorado at Greeley, Colo. 2:35 p.m. Loss Sat, Nov 05 Sioux Falls Grand Forks, N.D. 1:00 p.m. Loss Sat, Nov 12 UC Davis * at Davis, Calif. 4:05 p.m. Loss Sat, Nov 19 South Dakota * Grand Forks, N.D. 1:00 p.m. Win (This could be a toss up)
  10. I guessing every state has a resident/nonresident tuition fee thats probably double or triple. Why not have reciprocity for the whole country? Isn't the whole resident/nonresident thing a joke? You want instate UND tuition? Get your apartment and go get your ND drivers license (or if you wanna do it legally move to ND for twelve month. In essence you would be getting "paid" approximately $9,000 for that year. ($15,000-$6,000) You could even be taking online classes during that time (I am guessing there is no resident/nonresidence for that.) Don't out of staters get instate tuition after a year usually anyways? (cause they then essentially become ND residents?)
  11. Shouldn't all students pay the same? Doesn't it cost the same to teach a student from North Dakota as it does from California?
  12. My bad. You are right. Its only three times as big.
  13. 7:07 Start times both nights at the Ralph. Both games on Fox College Sports. Minnesota (17-7-2) travels to North Dakota (15-9-2). Where the fourth team in the conference hosts the second team. Will the Sioux be able to sweep the gophers again this season? Will the Sioux set a attendance record? http://operation3201.com/?KEY=&DB_OEM_ID=13500&DB_LANG=C&IN_SUBSCRIBER_CONTENT=
  14. I can find valid reasons to close a lot of topics. Doesn't it seem talking about UND topics on Bisonville is more productive than talking about an NDSU's student getting a minor? (especially when we don't even play that team). I have seen plenty of name calling/personal attacks in the Sioux name threads. Or a thread about a NDSU's coach with a lead foot doing traffic safety ads? It seems one of the most common reasons topics get closed is people say. "can we close this thread now." or "here we go again." Because people don't like seeing/reading them. Should people start posting I love this thread please don't close it? And with 3?4? moderators it only takes one who is unhappy about it for any number of reason to close it. It's self regulating. People wanna talk about things and they go to the topic. Boring topics fall off. At the end of the day its just talk, speculation, rumors, etc. As long as there is no personal attacks. If a subject goes off topic. Delete all those posts. Should I just start another Fire Hak thread? At least two have already been closed. bisonville/gpl/whatever bashing does nothing for UND athletics but people love it, that's why they are such hot topics. (even though I basically never do it) Just my opinion.
  15. There is no shortage of computers with internet at the GF Public Library. I live close and use the computer there quite often in the past year. Never had to wait once. There is no serious need for a new library.
  16. Alaska Anchorage will make anyone look good.
  17. The World Record for 2,750 consecutive free throws is Dr. Tom Amberry and he went to UND, and has worked with the Chicago Bulls. Maybe he can work with UND too. http://www.freethrow.com/FreeThrow/DrTomInfo.htm
  18. There was more than one study done before the voting on the Alerus Center stating it would lose money. With that knowledge the majoriy of people still voted for the Alerus Center.
  19. Pretty tight leash around here. Can't talk about Dannys frostbite, complain about the mens hockey head coach, or talk about UND topics on another website.
  20. Oh I get it now: Expectations aren't met because people compare it to the Fargodome. The Fargodome gets more big name concerts more often. Go figure a city greater than what four times that of Grand Forks. There is a promise of concerts to compete with Fargo and that's exactly what it did and does. Sorry if you don't like those particular concerts especially when you compare them to ones going to Fargo or Minneapolis. How many of these/those concerts had come to GF before the Alerus (and I guess after the old civic)? Zero. Only had the under 3,000 seat Chester Fritz or Hyslop Arena. You might not have been one of them but people were happy to watch Britney Spears/Neil Diamond/Aerosmith/Kiss/Ozzy Osbourne/Black Eye Peas/Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton (hosting 18,000 people not possible without the Alerus) in Grand Forks. Did you enjoy Jake Owen and Bullriding the Alerus gave the citizens of Grand Forks the opportunity to enjoy not even a month ago? Are you going to the Harlem Globetrotters? The Mens Show? Tim Mcgraw? Again Goal fulfilled. Sorry it doesn't meet your Fargodome expectations. Maybe you wanna have a list of what you consider "big name" concerts and what percent of them you think grand forks should be able to get on a three year rotating basis? PS. Who is Page and Plant?
  21. Incoherent ramblings: Was it a bar or restaurant? It seemed like two totally different restaurants/bars connected by a hallway. Should have put the Cool round "bar" in the "upper" bar. Nobody wants to sit in a booth in a hallway in the "downstairs" restaurant. Get rid of the "hallway" (no need for two entrances.) dividing the upper bar. Put High Top Bar Tables in the bar. Make it seem like a bar. Total overhaul: Its sad but if you want it to work you gotta total overhaul. Put tons of tvs in the Bar. Get cute girls preferable in Skirts (see the Tavern and Jakes) Make the menu simple with pictures. Get some signature food. Can I even get a Juicy Lucy in Grand Forks? (is a cheeseburger having the cheese inside the meat patty rather than on top) No one likes a copy cat but watch the Food Network (Diners, Drive-In, and Dives, etc) and copy some of those sweet ideas. Olive Garden and Hooters are looking where to go in Grand Forks, too bad they are looking to build new and on the South end.
  22. No one ever was told the Alerus Center would make money. That is not why it was built. No one said they would only bring in concerts if they made money. That is and never was the goal. Sioux basketball in the Alerus isn't be a bad idea. I enjoyed watching the Minnesota Timberwolves in the building. Except for the fact that UND doesn't want to have games off campus and have to rent the Alerus when it has a nice new on campus stadium. Police Patrol is a service to the community to protect from bad guys funded by the taxpayers. The Alerus is a service to the community to provide concerts and conventions to the community. Looks like its living up to expectations. No one ever promised "big name" concerts or a certain number of them. For a town of 60,000 with a competing venue for concerts in the same town: Grand Forks does quite well. How do we fix the problem for the Library to make money?
  23. Hopefully as UND gets better they will not agree to such stupid terms. The flagship U in the state and only some basketball games on the radio? Kidding right? Total disgrace and WDAY should be boycotted. What's next only some football games aired? All for a program replay.
