2023 Census Numbers released today here are net gain/loss 2020 to 2023
Grand Forks Metro: - 1,246 (-1.2%)
Fargo Metro: 12,787 (5.1%)
Grand Forks County: -473 (-.6%)
Cass County: 11,845 (6.4%)
I brought that very point up a month ago or so and it was argued, but I firmly believe those numbers are correct. Fargo and Cass County are sucking the lifeblood out of the rest of the region. I'm not saying that to be sarcastic or trolling, just pointing out the reality of the situation. The only way to improve is to push for economic development and that's not easy. Or cheap.

Now that Cousins has signed with the Falcons, the Vikings should do whatever it takes to get that #1 overall pick from Chicago. The Bears are probably going to stick with Fields at QB, so trading the #1 pick would give them loads of extra draft capital. The Vikings would have the pick of any QB they want. Get that franchise QB and build around him. In today's NFL, if you don't have a QB, you don't have a team. Period. #timetogetserious
I've had no faith in big Vikings trades ever since the Hershel Walker deal.

SDSU wins natty in football and has both BB teams favored to go to The Dance. What do they have that UND does not?
Leadership and luck, not necessarily in that order.

trade for trey
That was my first thought too. Trey Lance has a fair amount of upside.

OK, does anyone understand the purpose of this highlight video? I wanted to get an quick feel for the game ... This was a complete waste of time. This type of video is not engaging in anyway. I don't understand the purpose of the Summit League website. Do others get it?
Apparently they were worried about people like you, I see they turned off the comment section. I agree, this is a totally useless video

Wrong. Tennessee State was a good opportunity if he wanted to advance his career, but Iowa State approached him about an even better opportunity. Eddie George, the head coach of Tennessee State, told Tyler that this was an opportunity that he could not pass up. Rumor has it that he will make more at Iowa State than the head coach of NDSU.
I would hope an FBS assistant makes more than an FCS HC. Even NDSU pay is small potatoes compared to FBS.

A judge ruled today that the NCAA has no rights on restrictions to NIL money. Things will be wide open now. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/ncaa-can-no-longer-enforce-nil-rules-after-federal-judge-grants-injunction-231205241.html

We’ve scored 3 goals in two games…
That's because they had a hot goalie.

Don't worry, SF got enough other calls/non calls going there way so an overlooked holding call shouldn't matter.

Facilities are equally…….possibly more important in getting/retaining the athletes that can compete for conference championships.
Tom should do a fancy table comparing facilities. I bet the same two schools would be at the top but UND is positioned to be much more favorable.
Whom are you comparing facilities with?

Aging population. Instead of 3 or 4 people in a house you have 2. Birth rates are declining too. I do trust the accuracy of population estimates. They aren't perfect but they tend to indicate trends. And I'm just passing on what I saw. These certainly aren't my figures.

260,000? Listening to their mouthpieces, you'd think it was closer to 500,000 or 600,000 by now. In another decade, they'll be making a bid for an NFL team.
People are leaving Grand Forks? There must be ghosts living in those homes and apartments being built on the south side. Those companies must be swimming in red ink.
The Grand Forks Airport problem mirrors the problems with UND athletics. Instead of thinking outside the box and brainstorming possible solutions, all we do is make excuses and insist that nothing can be done about it. Bochenski gets elected mayor and tries to do things to make Grand Forks grow and he gets backlash from the same old status quo crowd that has held us back for so many years.
We need an attitude adjustment around here or none of this will matter.
I pulled this from Wikepedia, this is for the Grand Forks metro area. 2021 is the latest available.
2021 (est.) 103,462 [1] −0.9% U.S. Decennial Census[2]
This is for Grand Forks alone
2022 (est.) 58,692 [6] −0.8% U.S. Decennial Census[44]
Both show a decline unfortunately.

It all comes down to population. Fargo metro area has almost 260,000 and has gained 5% since the last census. GF metro has 103,000 and has lost 1% since 2020. The growth rate is what needs to be addressed.
What I can't figure out is why are air carriers subsidized to serve places like Jamestown and Devils Lake? It's costing the taxpayers a lot of money so these towns can have Puddle Jumper air service and I bet it's hardly even used.

That’s what my source says. Quietly being extensed
be interesting to see Tom do open records chexk
I usually trust you but think this may be a rumor. I honestly don't think we should jump off the deep end until we know more. Rumors can do more harm then the truth sometimes.

Patrick Mahomes is the best pure athlete to ever play QB in the NFL. He is almost unstoppable when the game is on the line. Three titles in five years and the first back-to-back Super Bowl titles since the 2003-2004 Patriots. And Mahomes is still fairly young. A three-peat is a distinct possibility.
I agree on Mahomes. Great player and fun to watch. Big question now is how many KC assistants get hired away starting tomorrow?

Out of respect for individuals involved, yes. Let’s just say some of the so called “speculation” that the “idiots” on this site stirred up doing the numerous coaching announcements were largely correct. But, again, most on here are just unrealistic idiots …
If you can't share the news why even bring it up?

I've seen speculation that's why Saban called it a day.
Yup, it was way easier to just pay players under the table.

Grand Forks Economy

It's to spot trends for infrastructure needs. In high growth areas every 10 years isn't enough. Planners need to know where future roads and schools are needed years in advance.
