  1. I can't answer all of your questions but I do know that most of the money Canadians bring into the gf area goes to national companies that normally pay their employees very little. Canadians also don't have to pay state sales tax. So I'm not sold on the fact that more Canadian traffic will boost grand forks' or nds economy.
  2. I already took into consideration every home playoff game for your team in this. Sorry but that's the way it is. There are less games played in a football season so to generate more revenue you need to sell more tickets.
  3. I enjoy an Indian casino probably more than most but I don't see this as a good idea for grand forks. It would further promote gambling in the community which I already believe has enough of a problem with this. So it would employ up to 600? At what pay scales/benefits? Just a guess that they'd be lower tier overall. And another guess without knowing where the profits would go, but I'd guess the city couldn't take too much (other than the sale of the land unless it's sold by a private party?). Canadians would probably consist of 50% of the business though and currently most of their money goes to the big businesses in gf(very little goes to actual local business owners/city/state). So if the casino's profits were somehow shared with our community maybe it could be a good thing! I guess I don't know without more details.
  4. UND's #1 sport will sell approximately 65,000 more home tickets than the ag school's #1 sport for 13-14. So keep tooting your horn if it makes you feel better.
  5. I figured it out. Gfhockey....can u steal pattyns watch? This could turn our season around and only cost Hak a game or two!
  6. That's be awesome if it was. Wouldn't it be nice if they thought outside the box a bit with their new store and did something like wegman's does out east? I love that place.
  7. Can you just start your own thread of your vacation?
  8. Nd state law allows an employer to end an employee's employment for no reason. If I were to take a stab at this one I'd guess he was dismissed for no reason.
  9. Wdaz news has reported the turtle mountain tribe is once again lobbying for a casino in grand forks. In order for this to happen, would their purchased land become sovereign land? So they could tip-toe around the non-smoking state law? And if this happens how would this affect current gambling fundraisers in town?
  10. I may get flamed for this here. But would you go on a reservation and refer to natives as redskins? The name is derogatory and in no way compares to the former fighting Sioux name issue.
  11. No matter how you put it, from here on out und will need to perform better than they have all season to get in the tournament. Home ice first, win the frozen faceoff, get in ncaas and win 4 more. Easy enough right? Either way it will make for an exciting end to the season. Kind of a nail biter! Don't let us fans down fighting Sioux!
  12. A must win first round series not in grand forks. And a must win frozen faceoff. Heck, 4-4 and und may very well have their first round away for the first time in a long time.
  13. Haha They still have a chance and a decent chance at that. But if und splits the rest of the regular season games like they have the past two series....yes they may be screwed.
  14. So if I'm reading into the pwr predictions right, und needs to win 6 out of 8 to be positioned in the top 16 going into the conference tourney.
  15. Is this the first game you've been to at the Ralph? It's been pretty quiet and take for some time.
  16. I want to see und against the goofs round 1 just because Lucia doesn't want this game to happen!
  17. I swear no one in my group egged him on;) there were no holy cross gopher loss chants or anything;)
  18. That was fun:) und vs every other team's fans. We had an unruly gopher fan in a wheelchair right across from us. He was so hostile and abusive he was wheeled out of the building by an usher!
  19. Correct. I know a lot of people used to use channel surfing . Net . Try going to that site now and you will see. Same thing.
  20. Pretty sure kuper's salary alone this year is more than all former bison salaries in the nfl added togethor this season! Let's go Denver!
  21. This is an illegal site you just posted...not sure if you knew this or not.
  22. Back in my younger days I witnessed this with the campus police myself.
