why is this sad? the move to hdtv, while a huge burden on pretty much everyone, will be the best thing that could ever happen to tv. the main difference between the 16:9 and 4:3 is that the screen extends further to the sides. you get more peripheral video than you would through standard tv. yes, the monitors have to be bigger because of the way they measure screen size (diagonal) which is the main reason why you're going to see a lot more 40 inch tvs and way way fewer 19 inch tvs. living in the 80's isn't the way to go when we've got some of the best technology.

i'm actually kinda glad he posted this. i didn't know about the fargo sioux boosters. i will now join.

why does almost every thread suddenly go downhill once pcm and diggler start chatting it up?

i'm going to have to demand $5 from everyone who goes. if i get enough money, i won't call the cops on you

i thought he was going to play 2 years with the ntdp and then one year in the ushl. that would mean his senior year would be in the ushl.

their policy is just a way to avoid the Sioux women's bball team from beating them.

i don't get how you can compare the name "frogs" to be as bad as the n-word and in another post essentially compare it to being called a "cake eater."

i did it several times. everyone kept wanting to sign me to play pro lacrosse, but i figured i'd rather just work for the rest of my life.

how dare you try to point out davek's double standard. obviously he's much more enlightened than the rest of us... you should have known that. don't worry davek, God loves you.

here's a link to a story by the ap Forum Article Also, Eddie Dunn threw his name back into the ring for interim chancellor after lee vickers decided he didn't want the job. Dunn will have an interview tomorrow and john q paulsen essentially said it's dunn's job based on the fact the 1) he was one of the two recommended finalists and 2) nobody else wants the job.

potts came out today and blasted chapman: from the ap:

if he goes to a d3 team, he can play right away.

i'd imagine many of the players who signed early will play at least some in the nhl. it's the ability to have them at their disposal immediately if the team needs it.

who would have thought that 5 sophomores would be the scariest thing on our team?

it's no wonder ndsu went division 1. that 2002 indoor womens track national championshpi really showed they were ready for the big time.

kinda fitting that they lost to SAINT cloud and HOLY CROSS last year... perhaps it did take an act of God.

but how will they pay for it all? oh the humanity.... adding things when they don't have enough money!!!

I think the swanson parking area was probably the best choice... given what other options the school had. building it behind tabula would put thousands of students on the opposite side of university. that's a lot of kids crossing the street. the parking lot behind chester fritz is further away from most buildings than swanson. the dorms don't need another parking area... it's the off-campus students that need more parking. behind hyslop is further away than swanson and i'd imagine it would be difficult to build a parking ramp right next to/under columbia ave bridge. you say "with all the options" but really, swanson parking lot was probably the only good option. it's by no means farthest away from anything but gamble hall, merrifield and twamley.

it's true that the gophs would have ended up in grand forks regardless... but who they played changed when they lost to wisco. umn was #1 overall, but the loss to wisco dropped them to #2. because holy cross was ahead of bemidji state... the gophers drew the #15 overall instead of the #16 overall. the rest is history. but who knows, the beavers could have beat the gophers the way they played too.

i disagree. look at what the wild did at the beginning of last year. they were on a tear, scoring goals left and right. lemaire let them play a very offensive style until the team cooled down. last year, it didn't have the skill to keep that up all year long. but when the guys came out and were putting things in the net, lemaire had no problem playing an offensive game. this year, he will have much more scoring power to work with and the wild will play accordingly. lemaire won his championship in jersey with a bunch of guys nobody thought could do anything and a great goalie. he took a bunch of rejects a couple years ago and took them deep into the playoffs in the teams 3rd year. he, and the wild organization, has said this year things will be different. and he's shown throughout his career that if he gets enough talented scorers he will easily run an offensive minded club.

of course ndsu is the most popular school in fargo... i never said it wasn't. but by no means does it have the support of the community like UND does. of course ndsu is the big dog in fargo, but with so many other things pulling from it, it isn't the "greatest thing ever" like sioux athletics are. it's not a slam on ndsu, its the truth. and your idea of what the big dog in the state is laughable.

and the fact that the bison in fargo are not nearly as popular as the sioux in grand forks. there's a lot of people who generally "dont care" about ndsu. grand forks is a town that rallies around UND's sports... fargo is just a town with a college that some people support.

you can say that UND hockey is a detriment to the school all you want... but it also could be the savior. i don't think anyone denies that men's hockey is a huge bread winner for UND and women's hockey takes a significant amount of that revenue away. but realize that by going d1, this small north dakota school will get 1/4 of a million dollars every time they make it to the frozen four. that's half a mil over the past 2 years that UND is missing out because of not being d1.
