  1. You know what...I feel like arguing tonite, I should have been a lawyer, I get that alot There is not a "surplus of parking spots on campus according to the experts," Americans are lazy, anyone anytime can find a spot at the new REA parking lot. How is that a need for a parking ramp? Granted you are right there may be in the future for a ramp, but I personally think UND may be topping out of students on campus right now....wellness center will add parking? walk from the other side of the REA? Go to a big campus (D1-A) they will laugh at the distance UND folks complain about walking.
  2. Inquiring minds want to know. Anything Grand Forks does gets compared to Fargo, plain and simple. Gas prices in Fargo's are lowers, despite GF's being around the national average. Fargo is one of the greatest midsized town in the country. It is unfortunate that Grand Forks always gets compared to it. Add NDSU/UND and it gets amplified. Is it in Grand Forks's best to colaberate? There seems to be many businesses that say "Fargo/Grand Forks" yet many people leave Grand Forks for Fargo hurting GF's population while enhancing Fargos. Fargo takes away jobs/people from Grand Forks(?), but at the same time Fargo adds jobs to the ND economy and Grand Forks. For one example see the SEI company, one that came to Fargo and liked what it saw in ND and decided to expand. Grand Forks won over Bismarck to add jobs in the area. Anything one does the other seems to always want...Fargodome/Alerus, UND hockey/proposed NDSU hockey, NDSU D1/UND D1, the betty/proposed downtown fargodome area/remodel of BSA, and the list goes on. I bet that if Grand Forks gets a waterpark or casino, Fargo will be all over it seeing how they can get the same or one up GF. I propose this as someone born in Fargo raised in GF, I have been thinking about this for awhile. I Hate Fargo , mainly because of NDSU, but they are only one hour away and alot alike (yeah I know Federov not really alot of apts and restaurants in Fargo). A lof of UND fans live in Fargo, infact the times I go to Fargo, i count the UND/NDSU references and UND usually comes out ahead, believe it or not. PCM made a good point, in that Fargo benefits from 2 interstates connecting there. Personally I love Bismarck, great rolling hills, Abe Lincoln St Park, the "tame" Missouri Jet Skiing on it, etc. I seriously think there is something GF could learn from Fargo regarding business development, and alot of GF City Council members don't like to admit that. Hopefully someone can set me straight. End Rant.....for NOW (A few more capital words and I can be just like SIOUXMENOW..haha JK ....few more periods I can be like SiouxGoo...haha..Anyone guess my signature posting style yet??? ) I want to know what my Sioux family thinks. Take it away star2city, one of my favorite posters. I gotta go Wifeswap is on.
  3. You might want to check out this thread: http://siouxsports.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2668&hl
  4. The reason they don't put it behind tabulas is because of the traffice/accessability issues.
  5. Call me crazy, but I don't see a parking problem on campus. Of course everything can be approved upon, but the only problem I see is parking close to campus. The New REA lot never seems to be overflowing. It seems a little far, but only in respect to other buildings and parking lots on campus, still easily within walking distance.
  6. Interesting but off topic. In Montana you can still drink and drive. Not drive drunk, but chug a beer while driving to the lake.
  7. Sorta like the Sioux hockey teams, but reversed. The Sioux teams preseason national poll usually have them near the top (10). Regardless of recorders etc, they seem to up there. Whether you agree or not, polls are generally based on historical success at the national level. The UND Men's basketball program has little of that.
  8. Until they (University Station) learn that they could have higher profits if they keep their prices the same as everyone else at 5-10 cents more.
  9. I believe the Betty would be able to hold 6,000(?) if they bought bigger end zone seats. There seems to be plenty of room for it to my untrained eye. Now that would be awesome to see. I still wish they had bought some sort of video replay boards/screens.
  10. It does seem odd that you would contact UND administators and tell them that there was someone on a message board that was spreading rumors about Greene failing a field sobriety test. It looks like I was right, they were ice fishing. They musta been pounding them to stay that late. (Yes the pun was intended)
  11. My guess would be ice fishing. Warroad is close to popular Zipple Bay et al on Lake of the Woods, which could also be the reason he was drinking.
  12. You got me! It is indeed a the dreaded olympic rink.
  13. From the link: "3G Sprint PCS Vision phones that support MIDI polyphonic ringtones"
  14. No, it's not another, "I miss standing" & "The atmosphere." But what are the small things that you miss? The smell, being crowded in the concourse,being able to walk around the arena (goal laps)? One of the small things I miss is the Nachos loaded with cheese. The best part was at the end of the row you got to add all the jalapenos you could eat. Me and my buddies would load up and make our mouths burn. 'Tis was tradition. Good Times.
  15. The thing is no one seems to care that Roger is leaving. I don't subscribe to the GF Herald, but online it didn't even appear to be front page news. Then I pick up the Dakota Student and there is only a moderate article about it in the Sports section, with the major story going to 100 years of UND basketball.
  16. I believe that's tonite and Saturday http://theralph.com/new2/Watch_The_Sioux_S...h_The_Sioux.php

  18. I want to give a thanks to Jim, because the picture I used in the center logo was the one he gave. I simply printed it out on my computer on high gloss paper. There's a picture of me, incase anyone wants to find and sue me for copyright laws. http://siouxsports.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=3438&hl= 4' x 8' 3/4" plywood. The specs are the exact scale 1:25. I used a "Bar Pour" to protect it. It is equal to 50 coats of varnish and gives a nice high gloss finish (see lights). It also makes it so you can't feel the lip of the center logo I glued on. It's perfect for one of my favorite games. Beer Pong.
  19. That would be all fine and dandy if the Sioux didn't win the League last year, and realistically only lost one player unexpectingly (Bo.) And now they'll probably finish 5th place. Realistically a team should recruit the same number of players every year, so there is no extreme highs and lows. And have other players waiting in the wing, need some unexpected departures. CC and UND 3 WCHA titles in a row. Gophers back to back champs. It can be done to be a good team year after year even with departures.
