Sure does sound like jealousy to me. With some arrogance on top.
I didn't mention my credentials until someone said I was likely jealous of Eric's access to the press box. So if you want arrogance, I can go there with tales of my press access to collegiate and professional sports in multiple states and Europe.
I have already contacted UND, but as I'm sure you know, that's not a precursor to disagreeing with something on Siouxsports.
Is it too much to ask that someone who covers a team and sport we love actually know how to write?

So, directly attack him on it in a public forum? Cool. Good for you, man.
To be clear, I'm attacking his content not him as a person. I've met Goon and his family and they're nice people.
I just expect UND hockey to have a standard of quality when it comes to press access.
I have no problem with Seamore Sports and their coverage. I actually appreciate it.

Strange. I don't have a problem with any fan starting a blog about the team they like. If you don't like the blog, don't read it. Not sure why you need to be mean about it.
Everyone can start a blog for all I care. I had a NASCAR blog from 2004-2006. Dale Jarrett was the best.
But that doesn't mean I deserved a credential to races.
There are thousands, if not millions, of blogs by people that can't write. They can have a blog all they want, but there needs to be a standard of quality when it comes to access.

Sounds like you guys are jealous you don't get to sit in the press box and get lots of access to our favorite team. You two need tissues? Maybe a bandaid? My bad, bandaids don't help hurt feelings.
You do you, Goonie.
Having sat in the press box at the Ralph and 5 other NCHC schools, the first four frozen faceoffs and been in the locker rooms of the Chicago frozen four, I don't have a hint of jealousy.
I do have issue with a fan who starts a blog to "cover" their favorite team despite barely having a grasp of the English language.

Well goon unlike you I can objectily breakdown a hockey game without sugarcoating the results to fit a narrative. I dont need to toe the company line to keep myself in the good graces of a "media" credential.
You don't either, but I'm absolutely certain, you don't know that.
But .... and here's some real info you can regurgitate in broken engrish and call it a "blog"....
Not being negative. ... just facts.
Canisius is a terrible D1 college hockey team. That's a fact.
What, Adam Schill getting a shutout vs the Canisius isn't good enough writing? 3 grammatical issues with this tweet from our resident 8th grade "journalist."

St Thomas will be at 22 sports. Lax is on the process of being added.

Would drop M/W swimming too.
I see they have D2 club in mens and women's but is there anything showing they're actually adding them?
Honest question.

Put them above Drake or Evansville now, so the MVC will gladly take them. Put them above most Horizon schools, so the Horizon would back flip in joy. UST has so many advantages over the Dakotas even now. Sure that UST won't take the cheap way.
Even in the Big East, it's not hard to be better than DePaul. UST will get at least lax bids in the Big East eventually, like Denver has.
Shouldn't they actually have lacrosse in order to get a bid?
They're at 20 sports already and need to spend a good amount of money upgrading facilities.
They could maybe stick with 20 but could potentially drop swimming and diving.

Someone be sure to send Canisius the weather forecast.
I'm sure a team from Buffalo will be scared of snow
QuoteThe 30-year average winter snowfall total in Buffalo is 94.4 inches, according to National Weather Service data from 1981 to 2010.
Grand Forks gets fewer than 43 inches per year.

I'm happy with Kett reacting to fans who are giving him !@#$ at that point and I'm happy with Bubba getting in Kett's face for what he did.

It was a win against the #12 team. Hopefully, the result inspires more fans to turn out.
I really hope the conservativism was on Danny and not Bubba. Danny is still learning and can adjust, just as he did from last week to this week. If it's Bubba, then we need a new HC regardless of the results of this season.

This was the type of offense we all hoped for when Danny was promoted.

This situation reminds me of after the dotcom bust, and a Grand Forks citizen told me that Amazon in GF was a bust as the stock price was so down. Bet it proceeded to go up by thousands over the coming years in spite of the blowhard's comments.
I deleted that post because I going to be believe in my idea as the right thing for UND and not listen to a blowhard who thinks he's an expert when he has shown no knowledge about the subject, not even presenting thoughts except bashing.
I've already said that I think an FCS conference made up of the western Summit, the Montanas, and Idahos would be great for rivalries and stability.
Where we differ is that I don't believe UND should be FBS with these teams. At least not for the next dozen years or so. UND can't afford the additional annual costs it would require, plus a new stadium, to be playing the same teams they already play.
I also was the first to mention the WAC looking at being an FCS conference, which seems much more likely at this point than any predictions you've made.
Were you showing your vast knowledge when you said UND would go FBS several years ago, or when you said UND would never join the Summit, or that the WCHA tourney would return to the X if they only added St. Thomas, Minot and Mary?

Wrong again as usual. A well versed poster from the MSP Wisconsin suburbs said I believed "that UST could get in the SEC."
I didnt believe that UST could get an exemption, but I do believe that DIII to DI rule should have had many years notice. Its unfair to members how one day a move from DIII to DI would be allowed and the next day it would take 12 years.
To be fair, you do deserve to be mocked. Especially for this post which you deleted after your information was again wrong.

Said this before and got mocked, but St Thomas is a legitimate candidate to go to the Big East with time and success.
You posted about it once and nobody responded, let alone mocked you.
You also said St. Thomas won't get an NCAA exception, so we will see how that plays out.
-
No. And you don't want the Summit running the NCHC.
I'd take Fenton over Duple for any league in a heartbeat.

2 hours ago, UND-FB-FAN said:“The next two weeks are not season-defining but are important, nonetheless. The Eagles are ranked #11 in the country and the following week UND gets #4 UC-Davis at home for Homecoming.“ -UNDFB360
This is a bull$%!# quote. I love the coverage from the guys and agree with them 99% of the time, but this is just failing to set expectations. Yes EWU and UC-Davis are tough, but that’s what you want. To play tough games and pull out the wins.
UND needs to re-set the standard under Bubba. Whether realized or not, the expectations are consistently too low for UND football.
Get to the point where knocking off EWU and beating UC-Davis at home is expected. If not expected in year 6 of the Bubba era, then when the hell will it be?
Win the Damn Games
I see nothing about that quote that is failing to set expectations. But of course, it's something for you to complain about.

Part of problem is that today's college students don't "have a couple" while watching Herbie and Puck win a World Series; today's college students intentionally, consistently drink themselves to oblivion ("blacked out")*.
*18-20 year olds experienced a 56% increase in binge drinking between 1993 and 2001 (source)
I've heard enough stories about students drinking at und in the 70s and it sounded very similar to my experience in the early 2000s.
Your article may be true nationwide but I doubt there was much difference at UND.

EWU appears to be getting an absolute bare bottom FBS stadium with expansion of Roos Field approved for $25 million.
Lol, do you even read, bro?
"EWU wants to keep its intimate, loud capacity at 8,612 fans (with expanded seating on occasion), but has proposed brand new seats (benches, chairs and luxury seating), a new club seating area and an improved sight line for fans."

9 minutes ago, Mama Sue said:Well I hope our defense is fired up and plays like the Bears last night (in the first quarter). Then, I read that since the NFL had not decided a National Anthem policy yet (seriously) the Bears linked arms while standing. Do you think Mike Ditka would have allowed that? I started cheering for the Packers. Sorry to bring politics into this... are the Bison and Sioux on the field or do they just stay in the locker room until after the National Anthem? Many college teams do that...
How dare they link arms while standing!
There are thousands of fans in the stadium "disrespecting" it even more.
Go back to not playing the anthem before every game and this will go away.

It's just a single generic google ad that tries to "dynamically" fill the width. So, I'm guessing this particular hoverboard vendor bought an ad that was more square shaped than normal (ads of that particular width are probably usually wide short rectangles). That does seem kind of obnoxious, I'll look to see if I can restrict the maximum height they can take.
Thanks Jim. Right now, all of them are loading square for me. Even ArabianDate.com, where I can meet the Turkish ladies.

Moose Yeah Yeah!
If only this had happened during the deciding of the new nickname....
There's a professional team a couple hours away that already has the name. You forget how many people were concerned about a high school having the same name...
