Johnny Gill out with an injury? Hopefully somebody will rub him the right way.

All I get on Watch Big Sky is a still of a Ragu ad. Might it be a bandwidth issue, because I'm at work?

Wow what a bad call. Yeah, he didn't turn around, but there was no contact!

It's all going to come down to who wants it least.

I love Stockwells Fire but he needs to cut the stupid shot out of his game. I saw him throw punches on two occasions earlier in the game. We had a TD and then he puts it on our shaky kicker. That's not winning football.
It's Rudolph's fault.

Yep, and its only for mobile devices. Had it been an app for Roku, Apple TV, Etc. I would have been impressed.
I can even get the mobile app to work, as soon as I open it, I get an error and it closes.
It seems like someone should have told them it's a Jubilee year. This won't suffice.

I thought this picture was from a few years ago
When I run it through a google search for that picture, I don't find anything other than sites that allege it came from UND. Not saying that it did come from UND, just saying I can't find anything that suggests it is old.

white out . . . white helmet and face mask with the all white uniforms . . . would either look really cool, or it would look like a team of marshmallows.
That's not really an either/or statement. A team of marshmallows would be really cool. Because marshmallows.

It's not just here, even Alabama has a problem with students leaving at halftime. Strange times we live in.
It has been a topic at University of Michigan, too. I think Harbaugh injected some excitement, but at the games I've been to, the student section emptied surprisingly early. I'm sure there are generational reasons. I would guess one is that the typical 20 year old has grown up with entertainment immediately available, and even football may be "too slow" for them. Even for me, I much prefer to watch a game on DVR so I can zip through it. The only deterrent to that is having to work hard to avoid any spoilers in media or in communication with friends.

These football coaches hats are better looking than any I've seen in the stores so far. The logo is the right size here.
I'll take the baseball cap in green, please. Visors are a no-go for me.

I'm at work, watching here and there. The vibe sucks.

.....And there it is. The race card. lol.
From my experience, the only time alcohol was ever "overlooked" was if it was a big party. The police don't feel like doing that kind of paperwork. The police drove through our alley a few times while we were playing beer darts and may have had a couple of underage people present. Again, probably don't feel like carding everyone when there are 10-20 games of beer darts going on in the college neighborhoods.
What is your experience with marijuana being overlooked? Again, if you don't know the "n" for both circumstances, it's all guesswork.

Law enforcements officers do not normally issue traffic violations to other LEOs...regardless of the offending officer's jurisdiction. However, if the violation involves more than one responding officer, those numbers decrease, as does the severity of the offense. DUIs involving property damage, for example. Xcel Energy employees may get free entrance into events... LEOs don't get traffic tickets. Get over it. Recent alcohol violations involving hockey players does not fit your theory that minorities, or alcohol viloatons, are treated differently in Grand Forks.
I was not whining about officers choosing to not give each other tickets, I was simply pointing out that officers do in fact pick and choose which laws to enforce and when.
As to your second point, it may be true, but it requires knowing the "n" for each occurrence. I'm sure the Grand Forks Herald doesn't have a section detailing the numbers of offenders let off with warnings. People used to be astounded that I had gotten several warnings for speeding on the same road. There's no way those records are kept. Just like there's no way of knowing whether alcohol laws are enforced as frequently as marijuana laws are, and whether race matters. Fair enough, I don't know for certain, but I have a hunch.

Sorry everyone, but I think you've lost your collective minds. It's the LAW. The substance is ILLEGAL. Ethics has absolutely nothing to do with it.
If we get to the point where officers can pick and choose what laws they enforce - we are all f****d.
It seems my attempt to post from my phone didn't work.
What speed do you drive on the highway?
I know with certainty that there are people in my little area who used to confidently drive drunk, knowing that since they were buddies with one of the local cops, they'd just get an escort home. There was a high profile case here where a cop was pulled over for driving drunk. It was big news because he was double the legal limit, driving 90 in a business district, and there was video of it. When the officer who pulled him over saw who it was, he said, "Damn, man, I called it in as a pursuit!" The hidden meaning in that statement being there would soon be other officers there, making it harder to just let him off. Even with that, there were STILL local cops who felt that the arresting officer violated some sort of code. Talk with cops and they'll tell you they don't give nurses tickets, because they have the odd belief that if one day they're needing life-saving help, a nurse who has been ticketed may hold a grudge.
Hell, I've even been the beneficiary of uneven enforcement. I slid off the highway due to snow and had to call a wrecker. State police had to be called since I was unable to drive my car back onto the road. The trooper looked at my license, realized I used to take care of his kid, and said, "Normally there's a ticket for driving at a speed unsafe for conditions, but you're not getting one." Another time I got pulled over for speeding on my way to work on Christmas Day. I didn't argue it a bit, but the officer let me go, I think maybe because she saw my name badge and title.
Yes, we are already at the point where officers can pick and choose what laws they enforce, and we've been there for some time.
I wonder how often people in North Dakota who look like Iwarri Smith are beneficiaries of uneven enforcement? How often is underage possession of alcohol overlooked as compared to possession of marijuana?

Then, why are the people most vocal about the Sioux name coming back, the booing at the REA are hockey fans? They are a majority voice against the new nickname and the push to return to the Sioux name. The name isn't coming back, we are the Fighting Hawks until the NCAA removes their policy, or UND leaves the NCAA, so might as well start to accept the new name. You do realize a Fighting Hawk logo will appear in the REA, the Betty, the Alerus, and all other UND buildings. UND does gain control the the Betty and REA in 14 years. (Sept 30, 2030)
For charitable tax reasons -- to prove the property valuable -- Engelstad's lease agreement with UND, however, state's he can own the facility until Sept. 30, 2030.
Well, I never thought that wacky website would get cited here. I'm quite surprised it is still up and running.

Yeah, to me it seems like it means, "yeah, I'm gonna be there", but apparently it's more spiritual than that. Anyway, looking forward to the game in K-zoo Friday. If anybody is looking for tips on West Michigan beer tourism, let me know.

Yah mo b there.

To add, in order to compete for the Big Sky title, UND will need to be solid in all three phases of the game: offense, defense, and special teams.
The boys should also give 110%.

Woohoo!

They seem to be running it at least once every first down.
Sometimes they get more than one play on first down?

Where to buy Fighting Hawks gear?
in UND Nickname
Posted
I'll be traveling to ND soon. I'd like to pick up some gear with the new logo. I would prefer the Adidas gear over some of the stuff I've seen from the other brands. I'm headed to Minot, so definitely going through Fargo. How does the selection at Fargo Scheels compare to the selection at the UND Bookstore? Also, if anybody has a line on some tight-holding, slow-flying, thin-skinned pheasants, let me know?
