I also shake my head at foolish comments like this.
The whole D1/D2/FCS/FBS/Hockey/Football genitalia measuring contest makes everyone look petty and foolish.Agreed x 1,000.

I can't help but laugh at this comment, it is just so predictable that some UND fans would respond this way. If UND were in the championship you would not come on this forum and say it isn't a true D-I championship.
Not taking anything away from what NDSU may be about to do, BUT, when UND gets in that position, and God willing, wins it, I will certainly not have any illusions that UND is the best Division I football program in the country (That, I am afraid, must be reserved for the FBS national champion, BCS poll arguments aside.) Now, I will indulge all the NDSU trollers and fall into the "Buthockey trap," if UND wins another NC in mens or womens hockey, there will be no doubt that we are the best college hockey program in the country. Same goes for track and field, cross country, golf, softball, swimming, soccer, volleyball, baseball, and a Cinderella miracle run by our bb teams in the dance.
That is all anyone is trying to say; please don't mangle their words with revisionist propaganda.

So happy to see this is TIME magazine. Never in 100 years could I see our local newspaper publishing something like this! hahahahaaha, that is why I cancelled my subscription to the GF Herald.
How about 101 years. It's in the Herald and was in there yesterday, too. But if you canceled your subscription, how would you know, right?
I applaud the article as it gets the message to a national stage, but frankly, I didn't read anything in it that hasn't already been printed in the Herald. It's, like I said, same stuff we already knew, but presented on a platter for a national audience (which I think is super cool.)

It seems like we are able to sneak up on teams on our first meetings with them, especially, in the familiar confines of home. I think the games we've won this year against "good" quality teams were situations in which the Sioux were initially overlooked by the opponent. Those teams came ready on the backend of those season series. Case in point, we schooled Idaho st. handily at the Betty; then they beat us on their home court. We lose huge at SDSU and show them nothing.... fast-forward one week, and they come to Grand Forks and we show them what we CAN do, totally shocking the crap out of them. Sioux walk into Sac St. yesterday and do very little wrong in the first half ( I assume Sac St. didn't know what to expect and probably weren't expecting much), then Sac St. wipes the cold water off their faces in the second half, buckles down and puts the screws to the Sioux.

Don't ask me why some kid says what he says.. Coaches don't tend to tell kids they will match any offer from another school. They tend to decide what their needs are then they have kids on a list rated top to bottom and they make an offer based on the team needs and their resources available. You might be surprised who talked to me,and no coahces don't tell me everything about their recruits, but I believe it is accurate to say UND was interested in the kid and were not planning on offering him a full ride so I don't believe they would tell him they would "match any offer". I didn't ask that particular question though. I do believe they would have offered him a partial. Schools also don't tend to make offers before they meet with the kid and or their family. They got the kid at receiver they had rated ahead of Woods and they have a number of receivers on the team they already like. I would also recommend you don't believe everything you read in the paper. Well meaning reporters don't often get the story quite right Frankly I wouldn't be surprised if the AC got him for a partial rather than a full ride. So there you go.... the paper reports it one way and quotes a kid, then you find on a UND blog someone was told otherwise and you feel like someone pissed on your cornflakes. Go figure. Better yet go ring the bell for the Salvation Army for an hour and quit wasting time worrying about what goes on at a UND website!
Advantage Ira.

For a little perspective on UND's win over SDSU at Grand Forks...to show your fans UND beat a good team:
With about 7:00 to go in the half, SDSU 39, U of Washington 18.
The Huskies aren't quite sure what to make of the Jackrabbits. Of course, lots of game left and the Huskies are a very good team and are favored to pull this one out. They haven't lost a home, non-conference game in 32 games.
I really admire the Jacks and that Wolters kid is unconscious without even trying. I hope the SDSU-UND game served as a wake-up call for the Jacks so they could walk into this game with the Huskies with a bit of a chip on their shoulders. Go Jacks! Fight on Sioux!

Great article today in the Herald!
http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/224278/
“We either pick the biggest thing sports-wise in the state or the event that is unique to the area,” Slattery said. “This fits the bill in both categories. Since both of us attended the University of Michigan, we know that Fighting Sioux hockey is a big deal.”NICE!

anyone know how tix sales are going for the ndsu game? still kind of wish it was in the betty with maybe higher bleachers in the endzones for more seating...but if they get less than ten grand in the ralph it will be a waste...better not be A MELTDOWN AT THE RALPH PART TWO
That was my thought too, about the Betty. It would seem that the Ralph would be more of a neutral site for both teams compared to the cozy familiar confines of the Betty that our players are used to. You'd also think that the crowd would favor UND, but who knows, AC fans travel well, especially for big rivalry games only 70 miles away. It might be half and half the way our casual fans have been showing up for BB games.
-
I'm so bummed I wasn't able to go. I even had free tickets offered.
How was the crowd?
Official box score says attendance was 1,495. Capacity is between 2,400-2,500, I think. SDSU had more than 4,000 in Brookings last week.

I was there.... crowd was disappointing as usual. The usual sea of empty seats were abound in the upper reaches and there were lots of empty seats scattered throughout. Behind the goals (supposed student sections) were especially embarrassing. Two male students, most of the the women's bb team and some players' girlfriends were about the extent of our rousing student sections. I know there's not much control over these things, but it seems that these big games are scheduled at inopportune times, i.e. most students are done with their final exams and are long gone. Oh well.... success will breed bigger attendance in the future, right?

Rumor has it that Jones kept the score from the UND-Jacks game at Brookings up on the Betty scoreboard all week as a subtle reminder so the boys wouldn't forget.

Usually I wouldn't dignify something like this with a response. . . I was born and raised in Grand Forks and have hated the Bison more than any other sports team for my entire life. I hate the Bison more than the Vikings suck. Please stop being pathetically paranoid that there are incognito Bison fans posing as Sioux fans because they aren't worth our time. If you had any idea my background with UND you'd be embarrassed with your comment. Save the inquisition because you sound absurd.
P.S. it's YOU'RE not your
We don't need "typo police" on message boards. It's a lame and cheap crutch when one's argument lacks merit or a spiteful and childish rebuttal to point out a perceived shortcoming. Everyone makes mistakes; get over yourself. Now, with that said, glad to have you as part of the club!

Got 3 Mac laptops in the house. Voted twice on each (Mozilla and Safari). I'm maxed out unless I go into work and hop from cubical to cubical and stuff the ballot that way!
-
Only 64 votes and we break 1,000. Let's get the vote out Chicago machine style. Vote and vote often. We can't let a Towson (whatever that is) and Appy (we beat Michigan once) State beat the flagship of an entire state. C'mon, man! (Apologies to Herm Edwards, ESPN fame)
-
By the time the politics of this (protests by other towns, plus Cass County residents still pissed on the sales tax increase) is done and the ditch is complete which would take about 10-15 years Fargo would be flooded so many times it may not be even worth it.
Or we could easily go into 10 years of drought, and it will really seem not worth it (at the time).
-
We seem to be closing in on the Towson coach for #2, but Appy State looks like they'll be tough to beat at the rate they're picking up votes.

I just put it up on the UND Area Voices blog that appears on the front page of every Forum Communication newspaper Website for a few hours until it gets bumped down. I will relaunch it each time it gets bumped off. I have also alerted UND's Web marketing team to tap into other UND Web opportunities and UND-controlled social media!
This what you will find on the Area voices blog right now or very soon:
Vote now for UND’s Chris Mussman for FCS ‘Coach of the Year’

Come on, UND sports fans! Vote now for Chris Mussman for Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year in the Football Champion Series (FCS) category. Coach Mussman made it through the initial fan-voting and assessment process to make the Top 5. Let’s send the reigning Great West Football Conference champion coach out of 2011 with one more victory.

What station?
CAT Country 100.3 FM in Grand Forks .. it's a Clear Channel station. I am listening to it online because I am in Fargo this weekend.

Sucks here too. Oh well. I got radio on.

Not for me.

Good story that focuses a bunch on Zajak comeback and Parise's homecoming, plus his true feelings about "Pride on Ice":
(Excerpt from Friday's nj.com) He was asked by a local TV questioner if he had a favorite local hockey player, perhaps a University of Minnesota Gophers player? Not a good question for a University of North Dakota player.
"No Gophers. Come on," Parise said with a laugh. "I was always a big (Neal) Broten fan and (Mike) Modano fan. I was more watching the North Stars growing up than the Gophers. I kind of got more attached to that than college. But definitely no Gophers."
When asked about the Gophers being ranked No. 1, Parise said: "That's when I stopped paying attention. UND always has a strong second half. They always seem to heat up at the right time heading into the playoffs."

ND should get smart like Wisconsin, Iowa etc. and build a regional airport midway betweend GF, Fargo, Devils Lake and whatever city is the closest to the NS line west of Fargo (Jamestown?). Central Wisconsin Airport and Eastern Iowa airport have proven to be big benefits to each region. The population of Eastern ND is not large enough to support 3 airports that will handle major airlines and likely will not be in the foreseeable future. Those in Fargo may think they deserve their own, but realistically they are still a small player in the airline world with cost considerations being far more important than providing connections service. I am sure this will never happen as the climate for working together is zero, but long term, this is a better option than fighting to maintain local services.
I always thought North Dakota missed the boat (or plane) decades ago by not building a regional airport between Mayville/Portland and Hillsboro, N.D. Just think, it would not be inconceivable for people to drive from Grand Forks, Fargo, Devils Lake, Jamestown, Wahpeton, Thief River, Crookston, Grafton and all points around those areas for more air service options and presumably cheaper fares. The Hillsboro area economy would have benefited greatly just as the rest of the region would have from better air service. Besides, you know what they say, Hillsboro is only one cup of coffee away from Grand Forks and Fargo!

Sorry my last post was geared toward football, but I think it can stand for all common sports that we compete in.

I don't disagree with your base premise, but, seriously, strawman much?
