It does lead to a lot of wild speculation. Okay, some of the wild stuff comes from me.

Is there a convergence here??..... Strange Bedfellows

FIFY

UND Athletic Department

If you build it, will they (WAC) come?

Also tied at #159 is Maine and Texas Tech. UND is in good company.

New video portal launches on FightingSioux.com

Wow! I read they were having budget problems in Minnesota, but I didn't expect this.

US News is out with their college rankings. UND is now listed as a Tier I National University. It wasn't too many years ago that UND was Tier III. I don't know if US News changed their criteria or what. UND is ranked #159 in the Tier I catergory. I don't think the endowment information is accurate.

Wayne Nelson is doing a daily blog of the Sioux practices for those that need their Sioux football fix..... Wayne's World I'm interested in seeing how the no-huddle offense works out for the Sioux this year.

I nominate Star to be in charge of fund raising. I see that Cargill just doubled their profits in the fourth quarter. May be a good time to hit up UND alum and CEO Greg Page.

Not according to these two tables. They actually show the opposite to be true, minimally. I had to use Fargo, as they didn't list GF.... Missoula Fargo These tables do show the wind. 5 mph for Missoula and 12.5 mph for Fargo.

They seem to do quite well with attendance at Montana with an outdoor stadium. Pulling together data from a couple of different websites, it seems that the average highs and lows for Grand Forks and Missoula are almost the same in October. In November GF is about 6 degree colder for both the highs and the lows.. I don't know how much wind they get in Missoula, which would make a difference.

A breakdown of the defense... Post Scrimmage Info

Thanks. 8658 average for the season.

Oops, I missed the SDSU game. UND had 6 home games that year. Unfortunately, there is no stats for that game.

The final year at Memorial... Central Washington...................... 4210 UM Crookston (Potato Bowl).... 10,402 South Dakota .............................. 9,625 Morningside (Homecoming) ... 8,254 Augustana .................................... 9,695 The Augie game was played on October 28, 2000. Average was 8,437

Wow!! Nice Media Guide. Great job. Go Sioux!!!

Does anyone know the approximate count of students attending football games at the Alerus? I'm still of the mind that student attendance would increase if the games were brought back to campus. Although the Alerus is not that far off campus, I think marketing for the game would be a lot easier on campus. The best year at Memorial had an average of 9,150 in 1976 when the enrollment at UND was just under 8,900. UND's enrollment has grown 40% since then. Grand Forks has grown as well.

Dave Fennell...aka Doctor Death. ...Mining mogul.

Looking back through the attendance figures, the highest average home attendance between 1962 and 2000 was in 1976 with an average of 9,150. The lowest was in 1991 (4,846), when the Sioux played 4 home games, including Morningside, Augustana and Moorhead State. SDSU also plays outdoors and they have seen an increase of between 40-50% in attendance over their old D2 days. Granted Grand Forks is colder than Brookings, but people from North Dakota are tougher.

The good old days at Memorial... I wasn't at this game, but it sure brings back memories to games I did see at Memorial Stadium.

The change to Division I had nothing to do with the name change. The now inevitable name change would have occurred regardless of classification.

Fire sprinklers,,,,. Smoke alarms only alert you to get out.

The new turf was installed in 2007. The old days of tailgating at Memorial were great. I haven't tailgated at Memorial since 1992. I've been to the Alerus twice. I had a great time in both locations.
