My possible gun purchase is more of a culmination of what has happened in the past 10 years than the past week, but I do see the possibility of people using the events of Virginia Tech to clamp down on gun rights. I agree with you wholeheartedly on being responsible with how a gun is handled and stored and I would most certainly take a safety class on operating the weapon.

Getting back to Fetch's reason for starting the post, Florida has a law that is very much pro-homeowner. Florida's New "Stand Your Ground" Law: Why It's More Extreme than Other States' Self-Defense Measures, And How It Got that Way At present, I do not have a gun. I do see a time in the future where law abiding citizens will not be able to obtain a gun. I am seriously contemplating getting one now, because I may not be able to get it later. I'm open to suggestions on what to buy from those in the know.

Waiting in the wings I'm still hoping that Brian stays another year.

NCAA hypocritical on mascot issue

I am one of the unfortunate ones who has never seen a hockey game at the Ralph. I have seen three basketball games there in a suite and loved it. The Carr Report is saying that the Betty is undersized for BB. It wasn't built for BB games. It was built for practice. Engelstad Arena will add basketball/volleyball courts BTW, I hope to see a hockey at the Ralph next season. DOT! DOT! DOT! DOT!

Well....in general ...........uh............ numbers.................they were ..................ah...............ah...................um................not even close. Actually Tony, I think there were two different numbers about a day apart, one saying that it was going to cost $1M more and then $2M more the next day. Edit: I think the $1M was in a newspaper article and the $2M came from the report. Too long ago for us old people to remember accurately.

Hawks win draft lottery, get 1st pick

You are comparing NDSU today with UND in 5 years. What will NDSU's student fees be like in 5 years?

Updated story: UND: D-I move could double athletic costs

All I can say is WOW. This is huge.

Pro hockey can wait

Does this mean that the sport is hostile and abusive?

Stop, my eyes are watering.

Is winter ever going to end? It is 20 degrees colder than normal here and a quick check of GF's weather shows it is about 15 degrees colder than normal there. This must be due to global warming.

Cities hit by 1997 river disaster offer lessons

Loved it! I also like the fact that Billy is staying with the Gators.

I think, hope and pray that Oshie is around for one more year.

MN Committee Makes No Decision On Nickname Issue Here is non-news article. Makes you wonder what the advisory committee did talk about.

My day will now have a hole in it that won't be filled until the Sioux football season begins. If someone had told me in mid December that the Sioux would be playing in the Frozen Four, I would have told them they were nuts. Of course like many of you I was numb after last night's defeat, but today the sun came up and I look back at the season that these players had and you can't help but be proud of what they did and proud to be a Sioux fan. I'll get back to posting stories regarding GF and UND that nobody reads, but somehow make me feel like I'm living the good life in GF.

Room at the Inns

Another wonderful year of Fighting Sioux hockey. Thanks guys. And hats off to BC. They played a great game.

Look at this from the BC point of view. They are outshooting the Sioux 34-19, with 20 shots in the 2nd and they are not winning. They can't be happy about that. I'm sticking with my prediction, Sioux win 4-2.

I remember channels 4,8 and 11 when I was a kid in GF. I also recall when we got cable and we got channels 3-13.
