  1. Just a heads up, if there are any National Guard Soldiers or Airmen, Naval Reservists, Air Force personnel, ect. You can get up to 5 free tickets tonight for the UND football game. Just show up at 5 p.m. in the Alerus Center ballroom. That is where they will be doled out. Go UND!

  2. http://www.ticketmas...04&minorcatid=8

    not sure how accurate this is, but looks like there are still lots of open seats. (zoom in on the seating to see individual seats) looks like the equivalent of 6 unsold sections, not including students, mostly in 201, 202, 207, 208, 209, 217 and 218. Not including students, i'd say there are 3000 unsold tickets at this point. Hopefully there are lots of gate sales.

    About 1,000 of those 3,000 might be reserved for Military Appreciation Night (they are issuing up to 1,000 free tickets to Military personnel (Guard, Air Force, Naval Reserve, etc.). I was going to buy 6 tix for tonight, and lo and behold, when I walked up to the box office, the guy told me that I could get up to 5 free tix because of my military affiliation. #bestdayever!

  3. who exactly do you associate with? that ranking is a huge source of pride with students.

    Mostly Fargo natives and NDSU grads ...... In other words, a bunch teetotalers. (;

    They also have competent education systems, which is kind of a big deal. People always rag on the poor achievement of american high school students ver the last 20 years, but the US looks *much* better if you exclude the former confederacy. The poor standing of american schools is largely do to the south being awful.

  4. Fact and not meant as negative since North Dakota seems to like its high ranking on binge drinking.

    Who are you referring to as "North Dakota"? All the people I talk to are embarrassed by that ranking. No one I know embraces it. What are you basing your statement on? Because if it's word of mouth or what you've heard or read (like me) then I guess our experiences cancel each other out.

  5. Remember how excited the administration got about the Spirit campaign, everybody got together for the "big announcment" at the Chester Fritz Auditorium, then absolutely everybody was let down because the announcement was "we have some money, but we need more"?

    Hopefully this isn't a replay of that.

    We should cut UND some slack on that one. I think enough history has passed and raw feelings have subsided enuff that it can be said that I recall that there was supposed to be a much bigger component to that spirit campaign announcement than what was actually announced, but the negotiations fell through late

    in the game. It left officials scrambling a bit to make the event exciting without the anchor "gift."

    I don't know any details on what fell through, and maybe, just maybe, it's what was announced today, but i am sure there was supposed to be a little more "oomph" to that spirit announcement a few years back.

  6. Yes, there is a lot of UND figures active on twitter today, all talking about the same thing. Is this the announcement that we have all been waiting for???? One tweet also mentioned ACDC playing at the Al so to me this has to do with the new entrance that they have been working on. I just want it to be tomorrow night!!

    Back in Black? Hmmmmmm?

  8. They should try to get PJ Sparks' sis to sing the National Anthem for a game sometime -- maybe save it for a big game like Montana or for a time when we have both football and hockey in town; Jordin could sing at both games! Wonder if she'd ever consider doing it?

  9. Does DeVillers still do some high school sports for the Herald, also, or am I way behind on that one?

    You are right. Greg is still there and is pretty much exclusively high school sports (except hockey -- he hates hockey!), though again, it's all hands on deck come Feb and March tourney time, meaning he has a lot of helpers.

  10. The Herald has more reporters covering UND sports than the Forum (with 3x the circulation and a metro that is more than twice that of GF-EGF). They are Wayne Nelson (football, basketball, misc. others), Tom Miller (football, basketball, volleyball, misc. others) and Schloss (men's and women's hockey, football, when needed, misc. others).

    Forum has Kolpack (football, basketball, misc. others), Kevin Schnepf (football, basketball, misc. others) -- oh, and Izzo chimes in from the TV station with Social media tweets and video blogs.

    Comparatively speaking, the Herald does quite well with the limited resources it has given the diverse and rabid sports passions within its readership area.

  11. its just that there is so much speculation about the ipf that it would be nice if the herald sat down with faison or muss and just ask a few questions to see how close it is to being a reality and so forth instead of people on here and sab saying they know someone that knows someone that saw a a construction worker near the old engelstad digging a hole?

    Patience, young grasshopper.

  12. How do we know that something by the Herald is not in the works right now? And confirmation won't come from a Mussmany YouTube quote. The Herald won't go with something like this without someone going on the record -- leave that to SAB.

  13. 33-6, attendance 8600

    I don't think UND will lose by THAT much. ;)

    EDIT: Sorry, couldn't waste the smart alecky response, based on your glass-half empty history toward UND athletics and the fact that the home team traditionally is the latter number on the scoring line, hence "6" would be attributed to UND ( I know, others on here listed it the same way, but in most cases, they assigned the team name to the corresponding score.)

    Rock on!

  14. I really don't know but Outlaws would be good. Then they could play Outlaw Pete at the games.

    Outlaw Pete...

    He was born a little baby on the Appalachian Trail

    At six months old he'd done three months in jail

    He robbed a bank in his diapers and his little bare baby feet

    All he said was "Folks, my name is Outlaw Pete."

    I'm Outlaw Pete!

    I'm Outlaw Pete!

    Cool! I don't hate it.
