Do we know anything about FTA availability for NCHC games yet?

Calvary or Cavalry? If you're going to nitpick silly things, so can the rest of us. You're not the only one amazed by that.

It's the "PC crowd" that thinks nobody can be offended by anything, and that if a single person is unhappy, then it should be changed. News flash: not everything that you don't like is actually bad. You don't have the "right" to not be offended by things. Deal with it.

You need to let this go. There was nothing in this thread about this conversation. You didn't have to bring it up. But since you did, yes FCS is "substandard". Nobody claims its the highest level of competition. But since its called "Division 1 FCS", that, by definition, makes it "true D-1". Just because it's "Division 1" doesn't mean it's the highest level, it's just a designation. Your constant ranting on this against everybody who disagrees with you is really getting old.

Interesting....that part of the article wasn't up when I first read it. Yea....they just really f'ed up.

Do you really think the NCAA makes their own banners and sends them out? I'm sure they hire some company make it, and it was the fault of whatever company actually made the banner.

If the limb would have otherwise killed the body, then it is reason for celebrating.

I'm not complaining, and I don't think the ride is too long, especially for the cost savings versus parking downtown or staying in a hotel downtown. I was just pointing out that 15 minutes from MOA to Metrodome isn't possible.

MOA to Target Field - 39 minutes MOA to Metrodome - 30 minutes Feel free to add it up yourself: http://metrotransit....e-route-55.aspx 45+ isn't out of the question to get from MOA to Target Field, but there's no way you made it to the Metrodome in 15 minutes.

I've heard a lot of comments about limited peripheral vision and that one reason for the 3/4 or 1/2 shield is for increased visibility. So with that in mind, it was a perfect analogy.

Why don't we make cars safer by removing a bunch of the glass windows and just having solid metal sides and rear? After all, you still have the windshield to look out of to see where you're going, right?

The joke doesn't really work when gas in Grand Forks is more expensive than gas in the Twin Cities. Plus is not just about the $15. Its just as much about the time spent going to the games.

So "taking off the blinders" and changing your viewpoint is worse than sticking to a harmful viewpoint?

St Thomas University in St Paul? Their undergrad enrollement is about 6,200.

Maybe that's on purpose...

I believe they won't put regionals on campus anymore.

Hate to agree with a Gopher fan, but this is the truth. It'd be hard for the NCAA to turn down the opportunity. And UM would be silly not to put in a bid since they almost surely make money on the event every time. Probably can't say that about most regionals.

Only if they change it so that only people who attended the University of North Dakota could actually wear Fighting Sioux apparel.

I think you're right. I knew that happened to somebody while I was in school and Lee Goren was before my time so I knew it happened to somebody else, just couldn't remember who.

Unless I misunderstood what I heard on the radio, Vikings players pay a combined $20 million in state income taxes each year. The math I just did says they pay about $7 million a year. $91 million payroll for this season, and a 7.85% state tax rate. I know it's more complicated than this, but it's close. I'm not going to run the math for the other sports teams so I don't know how it compares to the numbers previously stated, but it's something to consider. Just thought I'd share.

I thought he ran out of suggestions...

While we're speculating.... When I read about Hakstol's new contract and how much money was allocated for the two assistant coaches, I was surprised how little it would mean for each assistant compared to the head coach. Could it be that Hakstol is taking the "fall" for Eades simply wanting more money and leaving because of it?

What do you have to lose by voting yes? It's not costing you anything. It's not harming your school. Why vote no just to to laugh at other people?

It's generally accepted that a "cartoon" is "intended for satire, caricature or humor". Ben Brien's art was not meant as any of those.

Sounds a lot like last year's captain...
