He He.Dude looks like a lady...I think that the last 3minutes of the second game bar none were the most funny! Way to go student fans.Wookie!I loved it! The guy was funny he even said a few words to Blaiser.( Dean said in the interview w/Tim)Blaiser was laughing.

We know Tim,Swig and Coach Blais talk about us all the time.

Where the heck is the yawn Smilie icon?

sdsu/NDSU fan, Oh please spare me your bs.So what you are telling me is that The New REA is not banking any $$$ for the REA-III?You are kidding I hope. And you wonder why people jump on you?Clueless?Did you say? Yet you take a shot at a city you don't live in?Ok are you and jbb brothers/sisters? I can see your logic and many did say that about the new REA, yet it stands as a corner stone for UND and Greater Grand Forks. A 104 million dollar(not paid for by tax payers) building block for the future. Having made it past 1997's flood. Nothing can change my mind that the Greater Grand Forks area and UND are moving in a way that noone could imagine. Would you like to hear what Moody's had to say about GF?Inspite of of a national recession?Rating it Aa3 do you know what that means or are you cluless?The only problem Moody's wondered about, The GF debt burden is a little high around 12.3-12.6%.But still manageable.The Al does figure into this.67.6 million in bonds.(however this is insured) Heck the dike around GF doesn't sway them and that's 35 million! By the year 2006(3yrs away) The peak dept on all bonds will occur.Lowering the debt burden alot don't you think?Again Clueless? That means "great pie in the sky dreams" or a part of them can be funded. As for risky not at all. If the Fargo Dome flops o'well.The Al and Ralph are working together for Grand Forks do you think they give a rip about the Fargo Dome? Aerosmith is on tour again? I just seen them at the Al!

All I see is smack talking. And when talking about the Dakota's N is before S.Maybe in your part of the Dakota's S is before N.? Really now 2.5 million will be around longer than the New REA? I will take that bet any day of the week. The REA is a cash cow.The money the Ralph is making, makes our AD smile. Not to mention 10% on all things w/the new Sioux logo ect..(thanks Ralph) Now you have HIS daughter and wife running the show.Quote from Kris McGarry in the GF Herald.:"My father was passionate about this city.He loved the university and hockey program"she said.But it was her last words,"GO FIGHTING SIOUX" that caused the crowd to get on their feet and cheer.IMHO I think Ralph&family are going to make sure UND makes the right moves.And the cow doesn't go dry. FYI,NO money spent BY UND a PRIVATE DONATED gift which is being turned over to UND in time is what Ralph wanted.

Insert NDSU and UND here and you have the same topic. The new REA was given because he loved hockey and that UND gave him the EDUCATION to get to where he was.An Ivy League education if you will. I have stated IMHO the reason NDSU is doing it. And I can see why SDSU is doing it. No one likes to be the Red headed stepchild. But one wonders the Fargo Dome released that their bottom line was lower because noone showed for the later part of the season in football.hmm.Brings back the question will they come back to see them maybe lose in D1aa?This isn't a knock.Just something to think about. I would dare to say they were not season ticket holders.That money would be in the bank right?

EN. ScottM has been trying to find a place that sells Siouxper dogs. We keep telling him only in Grand Forks at the Ralph but he won't listen.

Well,well,well. Why look who was at a UND vs SCSU game.. Shouldn't he have been at the UM-UW game. Oh, I know he's a scout.No wait he wanted to talk to Virg..No that isn't it. He coached SCSU so now he is a SCSU fan more than a UM fan that must be it! Quick someone get a hold of the Woogster he knows everything.. Better yet maybe that clown Sid Hartman knows.

Thank You PCM.I am sure this is the tip of the ice berg.

This could get uuuuugly. ;)But really two people a mob? Just kidding you PCM I know it's closer to four.

Ok we all heard the Gov of ND today. The Higher Ed Board is to take over the books for all the U's in ND. This UND fan will be calling the Higher Ed board you can be sure.I along with others will remind them of the "Ralph deal" you build it you fund it.In the case of the other U in D1aa sports takes a bath in debt.(thank you Higher Ed Board for the trump card) JD,I might be reading to much into what the Gov said today however he seems gung ho on waste.Which smaller U's do you think are to fade away? I say Minot maybe DL. I think the Higher Ed are to be the Headsman for the Gov.Make room on campus at UND and NDSU IMHO.

Wow talk about hedging a bet.NDSU-D1 Ice Hockey.Dust off your Green and Scream Yellow(gold) glasses. Next thing you know NDSU will be in the WCHA right? Does it bother the good people of NDSU-Fargo that the hockey program at UND grabs the headlines?(see second full page SI article about Zack this year) Jbb,One minute you say hockey isn't a good sport.The next minute the Bison might,will,sort of want to,yup,nope, going in a few years.yadda,yadda yadda. And you give UND crap about sitting on the fence? Sioux Falls SD has a semi pro team and NO D1 college hockey.Why can't F-M hold on to a team?

Is this about what Tom Dennis wrote? If so he seem's to have come full circle on the Sioux issue.It must burn Yellowbirds butt to see Tom do this.

Really hammy all worked up?Something about the Gophers?What did I miss something?

Virg,The tape never lies. Last 3-5 minutes of the first period. I can't wait until this weeks ICE TIME in the Herald this week! Sic,Heyyyy I was gonna say that!

To Harry Potter

Higgin's should have been Commied all I am going to say.

I can imagine what Yellow Bird said: Us/We poor Indian/Native/First-Americans.Everone picks on US. Good Luck, Doreen probably gave them a good brain washing. But we know you will de-program them. Go Fighting Sioux! Dr. Y you really should come to a UND hockey game.I think "we" could get you a seat. eh gang?

Oh so you have read her "writtings" of being an Indian/Native/First-American. You have her summed up pretty well. Indian studies celebrated 25 years of being a program.Know who was one of the people who started it?First name Thomas second name Clifford. Do you think that pains Lucy Ganjee? I hope so! Since Tom is one of the Largest "Fighting Sioux" fans there are!

If it can change Doreen Yellow Birds oppinion about art. It ain't all bad. Story in GF Herald: Logo display meets the definition of art by Doreen Yellow Bird.(A New Sioux jersey was there) In Ms Yellow Birds own words:So what is art?That is a good question because it's rather in the eye of the beholder. Ms Yellow Bird again:Does the Pimup Toon Kitchi Animoose exhibition meet that criterion?Yes, Doreen stated. This exhibition was held at the UND International Center Oct7-9.

Ok how about one in every corner of the state?

I never had a doubt.

Jim,Interesting very interesting. A little something to think about. In a state of 600,000 is it wise to have splinter colleges in the state? Devils Lake Region,Minot,Ect. Oh yes, I know how dare I pit East vs West. Let's face it the growth of population is .5. Does that not scare anyone? Think of some of the profs. we could let go and think of the ones who stay and would make a better wage isn't that what we want?Keep the good one's ship off the leeches? Prof. Lowe pack your bags. But to be serious how much is spent on trans,upkeep,building at said splinter colleges?Wouldn't it be better $$$ wise to support only two? Just some random thoughts.
