Rather than start a new thread to announce a new hotel to be built along the 42nd Avenue corridor, I'll just hijack this one.
According to Grand Forks Life a Country Inn and Suites is to be built along 42nd.

Here is a start JFR..
More Dakotans than Minnesotans on teamPerhaps the Vikings should consider a name change because they have as many players on their training camp roster from South Dakota and North Dakota - two each - as they do from Minnesota."Those South Dakota guys are pretty tight," quarterback Brooks Bollinger said. "Not as tight as us North Dakota guys."
So what gives?
It's not like NFL players grow on trees in the 46th and 47th most populous states. Do Bollinger (Grand Forks, N.D.), tight end Jim Kleinsasser (Carrington, N.D.) and linebackers Ben Leber (Vermillion) and Chad Greenway (Mount Vernon) share traits the Vikings covet?

Actually, a strong case could be made for religion. And the line of politics and religion is pretty gray, at that.
The Middle East is a prime example of the intertwining of religion and politics.

Umm, back in my day they (not me I was special
) waiting outside all night to get good seats AFTER waiting in line earlier in the week to get tickets to get in the building. So who says she didn't put her time in.You missed out on the waiting all night thing. We would leave The Spud go to the Winter Sports Building and wait in line until they opened the ticket office the next morning. At that time Wisconsin (early '80's) Wisconsin was "the ticket" to get. We had a lot of fun during those icy nights.

Despite the consensus so far being against, I can explain why I've forbidden it in the past.
Everyone here is a Sioux fan and for the most part we manage to get along talking about our team. Disagreements may form over whether to canonize or fire Hakstol, but it rarely leads to true personal conflict between people.
If people used this community to debate politics, I think it would be much more likely that someone would develop a real personal dislike for someone else, based on political arguments. My fear is that such conflict would make it tougher for them to have a civil conversation about Sioux hockey, and that the political debates and conflicts would seep into and harm the community in its discussions about the intended topic, your UND Fighting Sioux.
I love politics and political discussions, but I don't want them here. There are plenty of places to engage in such conversations. I agree that some will be viewed in a different light when their political views are laid out on a message board. I have already witnessed some of that on the bridge collapse thread and the "what annoys you" thread. Let's keep this a forum for the discussion of UND and Grand Forks.

Two seperate issues - most Sioux fans trashed the GWFC when it started and that's a fact.
Actually reading this thread, there were a few fans who bashed it, some congratulated NDSU for setting up so quickly and others wondered what happed with the other sports. It wasn't the bashfest you're making it out to be.

What are Central and Western Washington going to do? I've heard what all of the other NCC teams are doing except those two. Are they possibly looking at moving up?

Are there any other prospective members on the horizon?

If the Alerus is trying to increase revenue, not allowing tailgating before a football game is the wrong tack to take. I'm hoping that this is just a bad rumor, not based in fact.
-
I am hoping UND and USD go first and second in DII this year. I am looking forward to my first visit to the Alerus Center. How is the tailgating at UND?
I've only been tailgating once and had a great time. I'm heading back up for a game in November this year. There is a thread regarding game day atmosphere at the Alerus/Canad complex, as the Canad just opened.

UND's press release...
UND to join Great West Football Conference in 2008 season
Sounds like this will be home for a while.By officially joining the conference now, UND and USD will participate in all conference meetings during the 2007-08 academic year and be eligible to vote on any issues that become effective with the 2008-09 academic year. Both UND and USD will be members of the Great West Football Conference for a minimum period of five years. -
Upon further review, I should have started a new thread for this topic instead of tacking it on to the DI Conference Speculation thread.

Sioux to take a close look at incoming freshman players
Lennon said there are a handful of freshmen who could see the field."We're going to be very open about it," Lennon said. "We'll take a hard look at this freshman class. If they're ready to contribute, we'll consider lifting the redshirt.
"A good number of them may have the talent to contribute early."
Lennon didn't identify the players who may see the field right away.

Recent defenseman recruits at UND include Jake Marto, Derrick LaPoint and Joe Gleason - three highly dynamic offensive talents.
The latest verbal commitment is a throwback.
Eastview High School defenseman Corey Fienhage (pronounced finn-ah-gee), who will come to UND in 2008 or 2009, is a 6-foot-4, 210-pound physical presence who makes his mark by clearing out opponents in front of the net.
Now that's a big kid.

Just got an email from my SIL saying that all of my family has been accounted for. Pray for the families of the victims of this tragic event.

I don't know if these rank as unusual, but I ran into one at NAS Pensacola last fall and one at the New Orleans airport last month. UND shirts/jerseys are everywhere!!

The "global cooling" fanatics of the late 1960s and early 1970s. We were headed for an ice age then.
(Some folks actually had plans on how to warm the Earth back up! Just ask PCM.)
Roll forward 30 years ....
The "global warming" fanatics of today.
As they review the bizarre and unpredictable weather pattern of the past several years, a growing number of scientists are beginning to suspect that many seemingly contradictory meteorological fluctuations are actually part of a global climatic upheaval. However widely the weather varies from place to place and time to time, when meteorologists take an average of temperatures around the globe they find that the atmosphere has been growing gradually cooler for the past three decades. The trend shows no indication of reversing. Climatological Cassandras are becoming increasingly apprehensive, for the weather aberrations they are studying may be the harbinger of another ice age.Telltale signs are everywhere —from the unexpected persistence and thickness of pack ice in the waters around Iceland to the southward migration of a warmth-loving creature like the armadillo from the Midwest.Since the 1940s the mean global temperature has dropped about 2.7

Sioux football opens fall camp this week
QuarterbacksThe season begins with a new quaterback at the helm. Junior Danny Freund enters the 2007 campaign as the team’s starting quarterback after further establishing himself with a solid spring. The coaching staff is extremely pleased with Freund’s progress and believes he has all of the tools to lead the offense.
Sophomore Ryan Konrath and freshman Jake Landry will continue to battle for the backup role. Sophomore Andrew Gudmunson returns from the baseball diamond to compete for playing time, while freshman Brock Setness returns to provide further depth.
GO SIOUX!!!!!!!!

Once Kyle Fischer gets past the questions about where in the world North Dakota and UND are, he gets down to business and wows his audience with what those places have to offer.
The UND recruiter, or enrollment services representative as it reads on his business card, is finding an attentive audience among community college students in the state of Washington, which has more students who want four-year degrees than there are institutions to serve them.
"People are very interested; they always want to know more about it," Fischer said.
Part of Kupchella's Strat Plan II is for the targeting of students from certain locations out west. I also think they need to look North and get more Canadians at UND.

UND ATHLETICS: Going out with a bang?
I would have thought the swimming and diving teams would have at least been mentioned.
