Interesting interview with Scott P. of SI.

The SI author of the article is scheduled to be on 1590am today around 9:30/9:45am.

I picked up a copy (Sarah on the cover) on Monday at "Big Cigs" (the valley dairy store on north 5th by the Dairy Queen) - they had one copy left - you could try the valley dairy "News Stand" on the east side of S. Washington (across from the Simonson gas station) they usually carry more copies of SI. Did you try the GF Public library? You wouldn't be able to "check it out" but you could use their copier to copy the sections you need. Good Luck.

http://www.grandforks.com/mld/grandforks/news/2721812.htm I'm assuming that UND and the Illinois Illini are the targets of this resolution. I think the most irritating part of the whole issue is the silence from UND administration and/or NDSB of higher education. Is silence the normal response when this type of debate "rages" on? Do any of you know how the administrations of other schools in similar circumstances (ie. Florida State, Utah Utes) respond to groups like MnSCU? Do they have a policy of "ignore them, they eventually go away"? Do they have a "generic" press release that they send out which lists such things as PERMISSION TO USE THE NAME FROM A TRIBE, academic opportunities, tradition/heritage, etc.... It's Friday, I shouldn't be in such a crabby mood!!!

The talk ranged from Stars on Ice to the Olympics to the games this weekend to Jeff Panzer and the b.h. dolls on sale tonight. Stars on Ice: Katarina Witt could make a good power forward; they did things on their skates which were amazing; yet another reason why the REA is a benefit to the community (bringing in an event that otherwise would not be in GF) brief talk on the REA II in TRF Olympics: when Dean Blais (coaching staff) was with the Olympic hockey team how the emotion prior to an olympic game caused some players to cry - they took 4th place - he was dissapointed that there was no chance for him to be a part of this Olympics (there had been talk if they did well in St. Petersburg (last year?) he would have a chance to be a part of the coaching staff) as far as a chance for the gold for US men hard to say as there are 6 teams with a legitimate shot at a medal and the women should be the favorites for the gold UND vs. UMn: no talk about who will be in goal or who is in/out of the line up; said Mn is a super talented team as evidenced by the number of draft choices, it's time for UND to play well - playing on "our" ice; can't allow Mn to take 4 pts; UND has always played well at playoff time, what matters is to win some games, get on a roll, even though UND is young they have to step forward, he believes that IF UND loses either/both games this weekend it WON'T be due to a lack of effort - rather it'd be due to "bad luck/bounces, good/hot goaltending by Mn, or bad goaltending by UND (us)" - he didn't say anything about staying out of the penalty box, but I think that's implied. Jeff Panzer: "GF product who never complained, always thanked his teammates, fierce competitor, liked by other coaches" he'll probably be called up to St. Louis next year as he's doing more then anyone expected, missed because he gave so much to the community (visits to hospital/schools etc.) and his leadership. Tim(my) Skarperud: He (T.S.) is bringing the leadership lost with Jeff Panzer graduating, he's coming into his own and making his mark on the team much like Jeff did.

In case anyone is interested Dean Blais will be on 1590am this morning around 9:15am.

If someone wants to pass along this info to Stan (gopher fan on another board) who's been asking if Fat Albert's is still around: Fat Albert's subs are made at Slap Shot pizza - F.A. has been closed since the flood but so many people missed those specialized subs that Slap Shot now offers those subs - so if you're craving an "atomic sub" or the like travel on over to 1909 Gateway Drive (just west of the El Roco and/or Hardees).
