If you mean enrollment, UND is larger than both NDSU and SDSU. If you are talking about athletic budgets, UND is larger than both NDSU and SDSU. If you are talking about attendance, UND has better football attendance than SDSU.

Would the Turtle Mountain Chippewa have a problem if we changed the name to UND Chippewa and kept the logo? Didn't one of the members of that tribe design the logo anyway? That way we wouldn't be "abusive" or "offensive". Additionally, I found the attached link regarding the name change issue. http://www.chronwatch.com/content/contentD...y.asp?aid=20908 "The University of North Dakota went one step further and has petitioned the state of North Dakota to change its name, since it is named after the Dakota Indians. The new state name will be North Plains. And their mascot will be the Natural Spring Water Ice Cubes."

I second that.

Here is the link. http://www.grandforks.com/mld/grandforks/14426181.htm

Sioux fan since birth, 1961. I rememeber going to hockey games in the barn, basketball games in the fieldhouse when they had the old clock (scoreboard) with the lightbulbs illuminating in a circle and of course freezing at games at Memorial stadium. Being nostalgic. Does anyone remember an old car in a ditch next to the railroad tracks across from Ray Richards clubhouse? All you could see was the top of it and the rest of the car was submerged in water and weeds. You used to be able to go over the railroad tracks there without having to go down to 42nd. That was the highlight of our drive to the game when I was a kid was looking for that car. BTW. Thanks for the counters, guys.

Pensacola has been awarded the 2006 Division II Fall Sports festival. I'm hopeful that UND brings some teams down to participate. I live about a mile from the campus and would love to see the soccer and volleyball teams come down. http://pensacolanewsjournal.com/apps/pbcs..../604130339/1002

Give him a bigger shovel.

I tend to believe that he has made his decision and is working with Buning and Kupchella on timing for the announcement of that decision. Glas does not strike me as the kind of person who would prolong things unnecessarily. It also helps that the offer on the other end is Jacobson, someone who can delay his announced selection knowing that Glas is coming Not that I'm in the know, but there has to be a lot going on in the background with classfication committee and thus the delay.

Good one.

and an aerospace program and a great business school and etc ....

I think that the drive from Pensacola to Naples may be a little much. Probably just watch the games at home with kids like last year.

I see where Michigan's goal production and shots are down in the third period. Does this mean that they run out of gas or because they are coasting?

You can follow scores at the following link. I'm not sure how current it is. http://rinkwriter.com/2006ndsttourney.html

I thought that you were alluding to this discussion regarding the Fargodome being in the red. http://www.bisonville.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaB...;num=1138653090

I remember reading this, but I thought it was a "throw away" statement. The indoor training facility I agree is a must. Star2City,among others, has mentioned that a number of times.

$35 Million for new facilities. Possibly adding seats at the Alerus. What is the thought, going I-A? http://www.grandforks.com/mld/grandforks/13870854.htm

Two names added to task force which meets today. http://www.grandforks.com/mld/grandforks/n...al/13866642.htm

Sounds like a pretty good design. Still, looking at the seating chart, the seating for the people that aren't down close to the court is not all that different from REA. Pick a section from the link and you get some perspective on their view. http://www.uwbadgers.com/facilities/kohl_c...ting/index.aspx We should use the facility which generates the most revenue and fan support. Which sounds like what they tried to do last year, playing the conference games in REA and non-conference in the Betty. I believe that many schools in the country would love to have this dilemma.

I haven't seen a basketball game in the Betty, but from what I hear it is just a more intimate place for basketball. I did see two games last year in REA in one of the suites and had a great time. I really didn't feel that the view was that bad even though I was in one of the corners. How are the concession sales between basketball games in REA compared to the Betty? Being in a suite there is definitely more of an opportunity to spend money on food and drink. I've seen the image that was posted moving the court to the north end. Wouldn't that put the scoreboard over one of the baskets? Doesn't Wisconsin play all of their mens and womens basketball and hockey in the Kohl Center? I know that Wisconsin's basketball attendance is far greater than North Dakota's for the men, but I don't know how it is for the women. The greater attendance would obviously make it seem more of a homey place, as I have heard people complain about REA when it is a small crowd.

71-52 Sioux 5:48 Sorry gotta run. Looks as though the Sioux have game in hand.
