The WCHA never lets me down. Just when I think I have seen some of the worst officiating by the ref, I get to see the ref and the ARs blow the game. It might as well be midget hockey. You penalize people for hits, but you allow all the clutch n grab crap. I don't know what is worse for hockey, a lockout or incompetent officiating.

Why does it matter how many people are in GF or Fargo? What exactly does that have to do with anything? It could mean more money for taxes, but it doesn't mean anything will be done. It could mean that there will be more things to do, but that depends on if people go out. So the talk about what cities should be counted seems pointless. If you are willing to drive a few miles to Moorhead, then what they have will benefit you. If you are willing to drive 10 minutes to GFAFB, then what they have can benefit you. I agree that there are several things that are similar with Fargo and GF. However, there are several differences. I think Fargo is a lot better than GF. The only things better in GF is UND, hockey, and the cable company. However, a college does not make a town/city. I realize that this is a website about a university, and I think that is the only reason there are NDSU fans making comments about GF. However, I think you should realize that there are several UND students/fans that are saying Fargo is better too. I am sorry to tell the big GF fans, but most Fargo people don't really care about GF. Unless you are going to go to a hockey game or a concert, there is no reason to care what is going on in GF. Both cities suck for not having all local stations broadcasting in HD, although that is mainly the fault of Fargo since GF can only support one station. I don't understand why people keep bringing up big cities during this comparison. It is obvious that neither city is a big city. It would be great if either city became a college town like Madison, minus half the hockey fans that are stupid. The good hockey fans there are also a good role model for UND hockey fans. Madison would be a great goal for either city over trying to be like Minneapolis.

Great job as always.

I thought it was pretty funny. I assume a Badger worker was questioning his call.

I know the standing part is technically not allowed in this thread, but I miss the UND President (Baker at the time) coming down to stand with the students during the Gopher game. Ahh, a college president that enjoys students.

I think UND needs to be worried about EVERY team they play this year.

I also found Minnesota, but I could not find either Dakota.

I tried to provide enjoyment for all. I thought someone in this thread said the theaters with the hotel were Carmike?

In general it seemed to be good business, but maybe the two screens was a problem. Now there will be 4 screens, probably with the same amount of seats as the old cheap theater. Those were huge theaters. Over the last 8 years or so, there have been a few times when I have went to movies and one of the Carmike 10 theaters had a theater with no heat in the winter. I am sure that has happened to other places, but it seems like it might be more of a problem at that location. Is it a poor building, poor heating system, something else, or normal?

I made the comment about the old cheap theater closing. I assumed it was financial reasons for why it closed, but I stand corrected if there were other circumstances. Does anyone remember how many screens they had at that location?

I found it interesting that of the two statements made by players, DH disagreed with both comments.

I want what is best for GF. I think that other companies that might succeed, will choose to skip a city where there have been companies failing. I think competition is great for the consumer, but failure can also hurt the consumer in the long run. I think the fact that the old Target building has been empty for so long in the only mall in a large area says a lot.

I didn't realize the new theaters at the hotel would be Carmike. Would Carmike really have three theaters then, even if one becomes a cheap theater? I hate to keep ripping on GF, but I just don't know that people can support it. Heck, GF couldn't support the old cheap theater. That is why there are so few places to go out to eat. People can only afford to go out and eat on the weekends and special events. If you go down to Fargo where people make more money, they eat out every night and therefore have more places to go. I don't think the difference is due to population, but somebody could prove me wrong.
