I think that this thread is regarding football.

I don't like the sound of this. COLLEGE ATHLETICS: Nickname becomes D-I issue

Sioux men beat Minot tonight 85-67, outscoring the Beavers 49-28 in the 2nd half. A long way to go in the season, but it looks like Coach Jones has the guys heading in the right direction. Nice win. Go Sioux. Big second half pushes Sioux past Minot State

Didn't see the need for starting another thread for this, but The Ralph has a new website. Pretty sharp. Still waiting for the new site from the athletic department.

Serious post following the light post. I'm one of those weird people who won't read the newspaper the next day after a Sioux loss. After the loss to Wisconsin the week before last I was despondent. My wife just looked at me and shook her head. All that being said, "No excuses, just go out do your job and win!" The true Sioux fans are there win or lose. Go Sioux!!

I held off as long as possible with this. Nothing is Over.

The push-off that wasn't called on a long pass that went for a TD. I think it was Drew Pearson, but I'm getting old and my memory is fading. Found it Pearson admit interference

UND vs. NCAA one year from trial

I loved the old Whitey's. I was just relating a story recently to someone about how you would get a table on a weekend night. No hostess, just the knowing glances between different parties about who was next and who was getting ready to leave. I still go in for a Riverboat sandwich when I'm in town.

As it is now, you have to be a member to access that sub-forum. If you log in as a guest you can't see it.

Dartmouth College rocked by racist controversies Did I miss something. I thought that the AD apologized for scheduling the Sioux prior to anyone even opposing the game. The article makes it sound like there was opposition and there is some sort of linkage between that other incidents.

You want small? Remember the Antique before they expanded? It was like a 14'x80' corridor packed with people. They actually had people trying to play pool in there.

Football Saturday started at the Antique about 9:00 AM, Southgate for some munchies, stop at Delaney's on the way to the game to buy small bottles of schapps to put in the back of the cowboy boots. Halftime we usually ended up at Judy's and if the score wasn't close at halftime we stayed at Judy's for a while. I thought $0.35 at the Spud was on Thursday nights.

I definitely think that UND Football attendance will improve with the jump to Division I. UND football has great coaches, tradition and a great venue. I saw the comparison above with NDSU's numbers. SDSU made the jump at the same time and they have seen a similar increase in attendance, with the exception of 2005 when they played 8 home games. Not to dis SDSU, but they have no football tradition and an antiquated stadium and still had a great increase in attendance. SDSU 2002 5967 (-11.4%) 2003 5547 (-7.03%) 2004 9846 (+77.5%) 2005 6972 (-22.2%) 2006 9652 (+38.4%) 61.7% increase over the span of 5 years. If UND's attenance increases even 40% over the next 5 years, that would the average at 13,409. As Hammersmith stated the capacity is actually 12,300. Imagine a averaging a full house every home game. Give the fans something to get excited about and they will be there. I'm quite certain that these figures aren't lost on the people in the AD. Someone would definintely have to be checking into expanded seating at the Al.

Thanks, but are you sure UND is moving to Division I? I'm sure there are still some people that think Kupchella is bluffing. Hold'em (AKA JBB) for instance.

I like the nice little gem in there, "dictatorial mandates", refering to the NCAA. How long does it typically take to get from hearings to a vote on the house floor?

Thanks for the info.

How sad and pathetic is this. [url=http://www.dissidentvoice.org/Dec06/Jensen12.htm]Saying Goodbye to My

Born in Park River. Raised in GF. Graduated from GFRR in 1980 and from UND in 1984. Moved to Seattle in 1985, hated the weather. Moved to Florida, back to North Dakota and back to Florida and have been here since 1993. Married a Southerner, so very little chance of ever living in ND again, although I miss it from time to time.

Aren't these agenda items just for CS Football and would have no implications beyond that in regards to conferences or other sports. That being said, I don't think that it would affect NDSU in regards to the Mid-Con.

More news on the Research Park which is scheduled to break ground today. Tech park construction set to start UND: Foundation unveils Research Park project While this is all wonderful news, the primary objective of the U is to educate and I hope that is not getting lost. That being said I think that Peter Alfonso is doing a great job for UND.

This one strikes me as being huge. If UND is able to get an early invite (sorry for the "IF" S2C), the transition is negligible and wouldn't impact recruiting nearly as much, as the student-athletes and teams would be playing for something.
