Not even in 15 years? Creighton won't allow it? UNO will be playing their games in the 9,300 seat Omaha Civic Auditorium following in Creightons footsteps.

And it has only been around since the 80's. Everyone wants out of the Summit. I think they should rename it the Great West Conference . NDSU fans have wet dreams over the MVC (but who wouldn't?) If I am a NDSU I hate the fact that Omaha is in the summit. They are the next team that would probably get into the MVC. Large city. Current rivalry with Creighton. Basketball is there main sport like other MVC schools. Come on NDSU. Let's put our pasts aside and come to the Sky. We welcome and want you. Trade the bunnies and jacks for the Griz and 'Cats.

Major Juniors seems like they lack ethics. But who can blame them. They are losing great players to the NCAA like never before so they have to do something to protect their product before they become ancient history.

But her personality grew on them. They are extremely happy now!

Lots (a group) of Cal Poly fans at Joe Blacks tonight.

The dynamics of the sports fan changed after the Ralph was built. It put UND hockey on a whole new level in Grand Forks. NDSU & football took a back seat to the average sports fan like never before.

Was hockey playing that day at home?

UND doesn't make any money on televising games. At least thats what a herald article use to say.

You want the updated list? 2012: No UND unfortunately. It sounds like good company. 1. Ohio University, Athens, Ohio 2. University of Georgia, Athens, Ga. 3. University of Mississippi, Oxford, Miss. 4. University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa 5. University of California Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, Calif. 6. West Virginia University, Morgantown, W. Va. 7. Penn State University, University Park, Pa. 8. Florida State University, Tallahassee, Fla. 9. University of Florida, Gainesville, Fla. 10. University of Texas, Austin, Texas 11. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 12. Syracuse University, Syracuse, N.Y. 13. Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, La. 14. University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, Wis. 15. DePauw University, Greencastle, Ind. 16. Indiana University, Bloomington, Ind. 17. Arizona State University, Tempe, Ariz. 18. University of Maryland, College Park, Md. 19. University of Vermont, Burlington, Vt. 20. University of South Carolina, Columbia, S.C.

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.
