JESUS,family,rutgers

I was checking on the price of flights from Philadelphia to Grand Forks and they have gone up about $150-200 from last year. Has the price of flights to Grand Forks,in general,gone up a lot in the last year ?

I know this isn't Sioux hockey related, but this must be like the first time Sioux fans saw Robbie Bina standing.I hope no one minds me posting this. Word has just been released that our Rutgers football player,Eric LeGrand, is standing. This is someone who when he was paralyzed last October in a game,was told by some doctors he would never walk or even breathe on his own. What a GREAT and BLESSED day for Eric and his Mom.

The new super conference is really dropping the ball if they don't add Princeton

I was just kind of curious about what type of outdoor activities North Dakotans like to do when the weather warms up.

Hi Dave, Did you move? I thought you lived in Wiinpeg or Las Vegas.

If the new league is looking for a good TV deal,do you see them pulling into any of the large state universities in the highly-populated Northeast, such as UMass,UConn, or Maine or perhaps a private school in a large city such as Boston University or Boston College ?

ESPN has reported that Eric tweeted he has some arm movement !!! KEEP BELIEVING !!!

What a crazy day that was getting to that game. Everyone told me that five and a half hours would be plenty of time to get from here at the New Jersey Shore to Boston. Well,the ENTIRE state of Connecticut was under construction. At one point,it took an hour to go one and a half miles. I am not a big fan of cities and really was hoping to get there with plenty of daylight. My ride up took NINE AND A HALF HOURS !!! When I finally sat down in my seat,there were five minutes left in the second period !!! I barely caught my breath and it was time to drive home which fortunately only took about five and a half hours. I must have had three gallons of Pepsi to keep me awake.At least the Sioux won !!!

Sioux-cia, If you get a chance,go check out the hockey arena at Northeastern University. It is REALLY old--I believe it is the oldest college arena and one one of the oldest arenas anywhere. From what I remember it is near Fenway Park.A few years ago,I drove up to see the Sioux play there and sat next to FargoSioux and one of his children).

Sioux-cia, Are you trying to work in all 50 states ? Do you collect those state stickers they sell at rest areas and put them on your briefcase ?

It was in the high 80's. Still shocks me that it gets in the 90's in North Dakota. If I make another trip out in early November, I assume it will still be in the 90's

Hope Fighting Sioux fans everywhere have a fun and safe Independence Day.

One more try on the linkMy link

The major paper in New Jersey, the Newark Star-Ledger,had an article saying it is either Eaves or Craig Ramsay from the Atlanta Thrashers. If I don't get the link to work,there are always Devils articles at www.nj.com.

Thanks for the info. YaneA.Hope your recovery is complete and are feeling well. Maybe it will be a hockey/more sightseeing weekend if everyone can guarantee that it will be in the 50's again in November

Siouxmama, Tell your children they get the jerseys...if they pay for half...by selling pizzas...in the parking lots at The Ralph...before games...in mid-January

I am hoping/thinking about heading out West again this year for another football/hockey tripleheader. For those of you in the know,are there any hockey games set for the October 22 or November 5 weekends ?

For those of you who may be interested, Eric has recently gained substantial movement in his neck and shoulders. He has an electric wheelchair that he moves himself with an attachment that is moved by his tongue. He will be taking two classes via computer from a relatives' home that has more open space than his Mom's home. Eric has said that he hopes to get into sports broadcasting someday.Many fundarisers are being held to raise funds for him--everything from bowling,pro sports autograph sessions,sewing,concerts,walks,T-shirts sales,bake sales, and motorcycle runs. Please keep praying and believing. BELIEVE 52 ERIC LEGRAND

There should be an announcement any day now about the starting times for the Sioux games at Princeton.

This is a GREAT program to be fan of--with or without championships !!! North Dakota fans are VERY fortunate.Already thinking about when I can get out to North Dakota again.----Remember,I waited 137 years to win a bowl game at Rutgers,so I can wait one more year for a hockey championship with the Fighting Sioux. GO NORTH DAKOTA FIGHTING SIOUX !!! GO RUTGERS SCARLET KNIGHTS !!!

I heard that Siouxmama and her family is providing free pizza to the Fighting Sioux fans who make the trip to Saint Paul..I figure a half pizza per fan,so that would only be 7,500 pizzas. Oh,by the way,you are going to be doing this on Saturday too !!!

Hope all of the Sioux fans going to the games have a safe trip,lots of fun, and scream so loud I can hear you at the New Jersey Shore! GO FIGHTING SIOUX---It's Time For Number 8 !!!

AZSioux, What is wrong with the Minnesota Wild franchise other than getting a few more wins? On TV,it looks like they are getting very good crowds.

What ? No Rutgers jerseys???!!!---Oh,that's right. That's why I am a North Dakota fan!!! GO FIGHTING SIOUX !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Siouxmama, As long as I am not confusing you with someone else,do you at least get free pizza from your stores when you stay home to watch the games
