Sioux basketball land Mertens The Herald better be careful and learn from the Forum's mistakes... Tension with UND remains

When have I heard Bison fans saying this before? I guess we will just have to see how things go this November 1st.

And while we're talking about the Alerus, they need to take a look AT THIS.

After 7 seasons of playing at the Al, more should have already been done to make it feel like UND's home. Unfortunately, besides the championship banners, nothing has been done. And with the move to DI it is time to get something done. If the Alerus is going to be UND's home for the next 10 years then something has to be done to make it feel like home. The first thing that needs to happen is the banner along the front of the stands that was previously mentioned. I think this would go the farthest in making the Al truely feel like UND's home. And having a business or two pay to put their logo on each end of the banner could create more revenue for UND and/or the Al. Second, when they put up the championship banners, why did they not put one up for the 2003 National Runner Up? If you ask me that is something to be proud of and display. When we played at UNI in 2006 they unveiled their 2005 National Runner Up banner before the start of the game. And doesn't it make more sence to display a National Runner Up banner before a conference CO-championship?!?! And I agree that the endzones could use a better scheme. Although I believe that the "Sioux" that is in each endzone is actually sewn into the turf. Painting a UND logo at center field would help too. As for the concourses there needs to be more work done on gameday. A permanent UND Football history/timeline should be on display somewhere on the East concourse. I can understand the Alerus not wanting UND memorabilia in every corner of the concourse all year long. But there should be at least one permanent display. Then on gameday additional portable/temporary displays could be place around the East/West concourses. The 2001 and 2003 championship game trophies should be displayed similar to at the Ralph, the last conference championship trophy that was won, possibly the Nickel and Sitting Bull trophies could be on display, and various displays with photos of various teams and all-americans. As for the parking lots, I would love to see more radio stations and restaurants set up booths around the various parking lots with prizes and samples to give away. I would set up blowup games and inflatable bouncing cages along the south end of the Al for the younger ones.

They accepted my application. But for some reason I never received a call for an on-campus interview.

There was plenty of time for anyone to submit an application that wanted to.

I am trying to find at least 4 tickets together or very close together for the frozen four. If anyone can help PLEASE let me know!!! Thanks, Dan pike_dan26@hotmail.com

What are CC and DU's fan sites? Would those be good places to go fishing for tickets? I have a couple sets of 2 lined up but am really trying to find a group of 4 or more tickets together if I can.

Or how to go about getting them? When they go on sale? Is it hard to get a group of them?

A majority of african americans said it was okay to have slaves? I didn't know that. You learn something new every day. I did know, however, that a majority of american indians have said that it is okay for sports teams to use names and logos such as UND's. Even those in North Dakota.

USD just lost 58-63. They were up by 12-14 about halfway through the second half. Tough loss for the Coyotes.

USD 26 NKU 23 Halftime.

USD and Northern Kentucky are playing on ESPN2 right now. Coyotes down by 6 with just over 7 to play in the first half.

GOAL KOZEK!!!

Sioux fans there are trying to get into it!

Only 7 total shots on goal? I would think with 2 skating teams we would have seen a few more.

The more important question is when is UND going to get some better production quality in its advertising. Our ads all look like they were done by a high school video club.

Just gettin here. I'm sure this has been said a hundred times but that place is empty.

I will completely disagree with this statement as many others I know would. Buning did many good things while he was here, most importantly was to balance the books. Something Thomas could never figure out how to do. Unfortunately there was a group of people who were pushing for his removal before he even had started the job. He was out the door before he ever had a chance to even get in it. Obviously you were one of those people.

What's with the sudden change in tune? It had crossed my mind before that the sudden talk of an on campus stadium might just be a bargaining threat towards the Alerus Center before the move to DI(and a recruiting move). If they are considering putting the indoor training facility south of the Al that would really commit UND to the Alerus Center and move even more teams/practices farther away from campus.

I've been looking on ebay and thought for sure there would be a ton of them. I haven't seen any yet. Plenty of the team pucks though.
