No wonder UND left for the super conference:

You realize the Versus TV deal is not fans wishing on a message board, its administrators at these super league teams saying they have had talks with the TV network. That is a fact. Sorry if you don't want them talking with Versus. Your opinion of it is it might not happen which may come out to be true. But to wish for it not to happen is selfish on your gopher loving part.

Is this "no" because he was never invited? SCSU fans seem to think they are going to die a slow death. The exact opposite of what Potter thinks. He thinks attendance would be stronger his new WCHA/CCHA conference?

The league as it sits now has six members. It needs 8. Western Michigan is out apparently. If Notre Dame joins they get to bring with them whomever they would like. But if Notre Dame decides to go to Hockey East, look for SCSU and Mankato to get an invite.

Is it because with 8 teams you get to play each team home and away every year?

Quote of the day from a gopher fan on another board

Oh I saw it, but UND joining/making a new conference is historic (since it has been a charter member of the WCHA) and doesn't really have anything to do with the BTHC (at least not directly).

His opinion has more greater barring than mine or yours. Its simple an opinion.

Looks like stars done it again. Ahead of the curve. Looking beyond the surface. Looks like Kelley is lying again. He needs to go. Its truly shameful for the University to have such a president. And what a great day it is! We passed the law that now gets us to a "spectrum of Hope" meeting with the NCAA. That would have never happened without the bill. Even if nothing happens from the meeting at least we fought til the end like a Fighting Sioux would do!

When is High School going online?

I would like to thank the citizens of Grand Forks for subsidizing my entertainment. I had a great time at the Tim Mcgraw concert. **Thanks for subsidizing my access to SiouxSports from the library too.

Google is your friend. Just type "definition ratify" into Google. It will help you with a lot of questions you may have.

He's just mad the library vote failed.

You/NDSU were pretty desperate. You are right. Congrats you got into the conference UND rejected.

Todays the day of the vote.

Not to mention a lot of fans that weren't real fans just went cause they got a free ticket from BWW, Bison fb loss, and playing it in a football stadium. Pretty easy to see where there wouldn't be much atmosphere. (and the bison domination after halftime). If the games close, there will be a good atmosphere at the Palace in the Grand City.

Good to see they finally are planning to break ground on this.

I sometimes get the "you have reach your quota of positive votes for the day," but yet I just logged in for the first time. Has seemed to happen more than once.

The customers and we are always right.

Yeah, heck I personally even know one here in Grand Forks, but he's toward the lower end of the scale. Could these renderings have been a bargaining tool for UND to use against the city for the Alerus since the pictures came out a few weeks before they signed the new ten year year contract?

Oh there is no doubt UND has 11+ very wealthy alumni. The problem is with the misnomer of any one of the 11 alumi could easily donate to UND a 150+million dollars to UND without a "dent in their bank account." Unless you meant all 11 donated together. "Very wealthy" is to a lot of people about 10-100 Million. Not one UND alumni has over a billion dollars net worth. You get kudos for admitting your source. Dave Fennell is from Alberta and also graduated from the U of Alberta. Maybe others could speculate how much he likes/dislikes UND. Just saying its not his only Alma Mater. Dave Fennell was Executive Vice Chairman of Miramar Mining which was sold in 2007 to Newmont in a $1.5 billion all cash bid. Has the sale gone through, I don't know. How much Dave might have gotten of that? I don't know.

Yeah he seems to be a little "out there" on his guesses. The engelstad arena definately put a "scratch" in Ralph's bank account. When he died his estimated "net worth" (not cash in hand) was 500 Million. Which put him in the top 400 Richest People in the US. And apparenlty UND has 10-11 more of them!!

Depending on the finishes that building would cost 150-200 million. Need a lot more than 30 million. The practice facility is the next priority for UND. A sizeable donation would probably be for that.
