Sounds like the Essential Air Service program might be on it's last legs. I read a while back it didn't have too many friends in Washington and really, how hard is it to just drive to Grand Forks or Fargo?

So, what did I miss so far? Any scoring?

Nelson

Come on guys, lets start hot for a change.

That's the very point I made earlier. I recall that President Edna was making all kinds of cuts anywhere she could, how the hell do they ever afford hockey? I think the latest deadline was Oct 2011. Well that's come and gone and MSUM has moved the drop dead deadline back quite often. The rest of Moorhead's sports are essentially D3 caliber, so I don't see them coming up with D1 hockey. BTW, didn't the NCAA make changes regarding teams playing up a division in some sports, such as hockey?

And then there were 2.

The thing is, the rest of the country has never heard of Minot. The other three have a little name recognition.

Moorhead is been talking forever too. And that's all it's ever been is talk. Considering that a few years ago MSUM couldn't even get 100 students to a football game, I doubt that they have the financial stomach for hockey. I know, hockey isn't football, but it just seems that athletics is just way down on the list of priorities at Moorhead.

Number 24, St. Albans, VT only has 7600 people, far smaller than Minot.

Yea, these late games suck.

Looks like you don't have to worry about fracking coming to a halt. Apparently there are a few common sense people left, even if there aren't any in the EPA. http://www.inforum.c...icle/id/342386/

I understand that there is a measure on the ballot in ND next year to eliminate all property tax and have the Legislature replace the funds to local governments from the general fund. Presumably this money would be replaced with oil money. It seems to me that ND state government has done a good job of saving the money coming in I wish that asshat Dayton here in Minnesota would take a lesson. Our property taxes are going up because Dayton wouldn't give in during the government shut down last summer when the GOP wanted to cut spending rather then raise taxes. Dayton insisted on ending the Homestead exemption, which basically lowered your property taxes on your primary residence here.

Thanks WiSioux. Appreciate all the posts.

So what happened?

That's good, but unfortunately they are needed this year.

Just ignore him. You're doing an excellent job.

Things aren't looking so bad now. Dell sounds awesome tonight.

Same story, different night. Sorry for sounding negative, I just was hoping UND would come out with all guns blazing.

I was just thinking the same thing. They have to show more life tonight than they did last night, or what the football team did this afternoon.

Give me Ben Blood

Yea, let them go after Ben and get him stirred up. We all know he won't take it. Probably motivate him even more.

We all remember the boom in the late 70's too. After things went bust, it took almost 20 years to recover. While I don't expect things to go south like they did 30 years ago, I don't believe in the rosy forecasts that some people are making either. I highly doubt Williston will get anywhere near 50,000 people. They couldn't even get over 15,000 in the last census, and yes I know things have changed a lot in the last year.

Knight for Friday.

Actually, you had Lammy for the second round and he didn't score. So much for me trying to help out. SFB is much better at dealing with this and I'm going to let the expert figure it out. Sorry.
