I will be the first to admit, that I'm no expert on Arbitron ratings, but I do have a couple of points about radio and in general and my listening habits. First point is that the ratings are from 6:00AM to midnight, which obviously would include Sioux hockey. Next, when you get someone tuned into a station for a sports event you are more able to capture them for other programming. You build loyalty. When I travel to New Orleans I listed to WWL. I started listening to them, as the home of the Saints. Now that is about the only station I listen to in New Orleans. A bonus is that they have such a strong signal I can get them in Pensacola. We'll see how it shakes out in a couple of years.

I see the Fargo Arbitron ratings are out and WDAY isn't in the top 10, Of course these numbers are from Fall 2009 and Spring 2010 when they were the NDSU flagship. UND's flagship was #1. We'll have to see how the numbers change now that Sioux sports is on WDAY. I would think that WDAY's numbers will go up, especially in the spring with Sioux hockey. Go Sioux!!

More Olympians to play for Sioux

If you go to Siouxsports.com, all you get is a white blank page. To enter you need to go directly to the Forum page. The Forum definitely has a crisp sharp look to it. Nice job Jim.

EERC Announces Fiscal Year-End Financials: 2010 Marks Seventh Consecutive Record Year for the Center Good news, but is it accurate? The following is from last year... Am I missing something?

There was a thread last month regarding the USSR flag hanging in the Barn The Barn was located roughly where the Laird Core Library currently sits. I didn't go to many games in the barn, but I do remember how cold it was and I couldn't wait for period break to go out to the "warm" area to get hot chocolate.

Well, MPLS doesn't use logic, sooooo...... Just kidding.

Gracias.

Who's in charge of getting the "thumbs up" smiley on here? Great news!! Go SIOUX!!!!

Brian Idalski's contract extended through 2012-13 Strong backing from the AD, great players coming in, and momentum building from last season. Women's hockey is definitely going in the right direction. Go Sioux!!

The best advice I received in the last week, is using the "Ignore" feature for certain members. I highly recommend it.

It doesn't matter if you are a Republican or Democrat, what they are collectively doing in DC is scary. I read this piece over the weekend. It makes you think about where we are heading as a nation.

Vonesh is one who popped in my head when I read Coach's post. No he isn't a dI dominant, but he would have held his own at that level.

Lindberg gears up for senior season

I have activated the ignore feature and life is good.

1st amendment.... SS.com Forum Terms and Rules.... Sometimes I read someone's post on the board and rethink my position on a topic. Not so with Mpls. Mpls seems to have a contrary viewpoint than everyone else on nearly every subject. Whether he is intentionally contradictory or his views are just different is up for debate. In my book, he's anti-ism.

According to the stats at the bottom of the forum page, SS.com now has 5000 members, newest member being TThockey. I think I remember reading a while back that Jim when did a change over or update years ago, some data got purged and that the number was actually higher. Welcome aboard TThockey, #5000.

Miller has been doing good things in the past year. I'm hopeful that he continues this trend at UND.
