First of all, realistically the Casino will probably never be built. The city of Grand Forks and UND are a seperate entity. UND is huge for the city but it is not the only thing. Maybe UND has to much pull in Grand Forks, and at certain times it hinders GF's growth in certain aspects. A minor example is every year Grand Forks gives money to UND for recruitement etc, but a couple years ago I believe UND wanted more (or just the same), and GF was like "thats ok you guys seem to be doing pretty good already, maybe that money can go to lower taxes or repair roads." A larger Grand Forks would mean a larger enrollment, more fans at football, hockey, and basketball games for UND. BTW, my mom works at UND.

I would hope some people should be able to put there personal differences aside and look at the big picture, act like adults, and do what is best for the city. Bringing a Casino to town would probably be greater for UND than any nickname.

You realize that by 2011 all the tankers will be gone and so will 3,000 direct jobs.

Any one heard what the system is going to be this year?

So this will affect GF more than the flood of '97?

So basically because SDSU & our rival, NDSU did it. Kupchella put it best, Does anyone really think there would be all this talk about the Big Sky if NDSU was committed to division 2. If NDSU didn't move the DAC would probably reconsider moving to D2.

Here's a late thought. Maybe JESUS,family,rutgers is good luck. Championship game he's first year as a fan. Welcome aboard. I hope the friends and family are fans too.

I'm going to assume Mr. Buning is a fairly smart person. I'm going to guess he already knew that "Fighting Sioux" was going to be controversial. He probably has the internet and probably did some sort of research before he applied for the job....probably was aware of the Division I issue, heck maybe he stumbled upon this site. Maybe Buning himself wants UND to go Division I. I'll play the NDSU fan. Why now? Scholarships haven't been reduced anymore recently. Division 2 schools have been jumping to Division 1 for some time now along with NAIA and Division 3 schools joining Division 2. Why the big push?

Maybe that baseball player is a hockey, football, basketball, and volleyball fan. And them having nice facilities is the reason he wants to play baseball for the Sioux and surprise certain people. Having nice facilities athletic and nonathletic all over campus helps recruiting (athletes and non athletes). But obviously no kid is going to play baseball for the Sioux JUST BECAUSE the other teams have nice facilities.

They let you drink for a while....say 40-60 minutes, before they start to force you to get out of the parking lot. I guess that's why I never noticed the traffic problem before.

Higher up? Two/Three feet? That's be 700 feet away from the lake.

Quoting a list of NCAA hockey players on Canada's roster doesn't prove anything. There were 40 . What does that prove. That doesn't mean anything to me (and others). What makes you think there shouldn't have been 50-60 but Canada passed on them because they were playing for the NCAA and decided to pick someone else. So I guess the sports writter was making stories up?!

I quoted the part from the article. http://siouxsports.com/forums/index.php?sh...indpost&p=81198

Legend334, the man who can say so much without saying anything.

Refute it all you want but there are many people in canada who don't want NCAA players on their international competition rosters!

I always answer "Smart people and the finest hockey arena in the country."

He went to a USA university.

I don't think they award tournament sites based on hockey atmosphere.

I'm against picketing but don't know how to show it!

Yeah, but they can say you (UND) can't play in our house (the NCAA) anymore. Meaning no more Sioux hockey championships.

Both are right. Bookstore, unnamed tennant, and apartments above.

Like The Sicatoka said, Roger Thomas resigned Feb 18. The athletic director job is to hire new coaches without one it is hard to hire a new coach.

Local Grand Forks news is not just that, local news. The Grand Forks Herald along with other regional papers and television news stations are all online for people to enjoy all over the country and world just like this site.
