    Took a ride on up to The Ledge earlier today.  Didn’t see anybody up there, but I did notice that some of the more frequent occupiers have places reserved.  I guess many committed ledgies have chosen to spend some time down below to be with their families during this difficult time. 

    What time you there?  Might have just missed you.;)

    Please elaborate.  

    People from Grand Forks?;)

    My understanding of this is that money from the city budget is being given to several developers to build luxury apartments on the south end of town.  We're talking millions of $$$ here.  Instead of letting the market dictate supply and demand, the city has decided to provide incentives to these select contractors to build super fancy and expensive apartments.  These are not the kind of places UND students would live.  Additionally, these projects don't have to pay any property taxes for 20 years (I believe).  What a sweetheart deal!  Meanwhile, the infrastructure costs for these new buildings will be absorbed by the current tax paying citizens.  Get ready for multiple increases over the next few years!  Watched the Grand Forks City Council meeting from this week on YouTube and it was quite eye-opening.  Go to 3:35:00 for a perspective from a local GF businessman.

    Wodon asked Dane Jakson in the podcast last week if he was for Home Site Regionals. Of course he was. Wodon is afraid that his beloved Cornel will have to go to play a regional in the West in an arena full of opposition fans. 

    I seem to remember they had to make a trip as the top seed to Mariucci a while back and ended up playing Minny...he can't still be butt-hurt over that?;)

    Random thought: Could UND use revenue sharing as a way to be competitive in recruiting? For example, could UND directly offer DuPont 250k to play for a season? I’m not saying they would do that but just wondering if that is possible. 

    Rydell gonna have to sell a lot of Chevrolets to cover that...

    I always wonder should UND finally move on from only "traditional" numbers. I like that UND is pretty much the only school that doesn't let players pick any number. But there are times I wonder if a McKenna type wouldn't come to UND because he can't have 72 as his jersey number. You are starting to see players not wearing "traditional" numbers. Just a thought.

    The only number McKenna cared about was 700.  Pretty sure he can't wear that number on his jersey.

    It’s feels like Jost is one more 1 year deal away from signing an over seas deal. 

    True...but at least he gets to come to the rink everyday.

    Just because he didn't bring the Stanley cup back to Grand Forks doesn't mean much of anything. If you look up where he brought it, you would understand his reasoning for bringing it where he brought it. Carter Rowney didn't bring it back to GF, does that mean he is pissed off at UND?

    No it doesn't; but Rowney didn't have 3 chances to bring it back either.  Also, Rowney didn't have a younger brother coming in after him...David Toews played two years at UND and then left for the WHL Brandon Wheat Kings.  My memory isn't great on this but I thought there was some hard feelings after David Toews left UND.  I'm sure there are some historians around that remember better than me.

    Trust me, Schloss isn’t oblivious. He just has his opinions. He’s not going state everything about the program to the public. It’s bad journalism and he has been doing this for a long time. He’s not going to risk burning any bridges 

    Enjoy his stuff but I don't care if I ever hear about the Women's program again.  Did you know UND had a Women's hockey team at one time?;)
