"...and the team has a huge impact on the Grand Forks community." By all means, please elaborate.

My good looks? No, that's obviously the wrong answer.

I thought the exact same thing. Runnin' a D1 program is big business I guess.

My design team is slow.

My apologies for assuming your gender, however, checking scores online for World Championships, mens OR womens, does not equate with TV ratings. Little stock is put into the mens World Championships because most of the best players are bisy with the Stanley Cup playoffs.

It's a slow process with my design team.

Stunned that @Sioux Fan in Sioux Falls would be in favor of this selection. STUNNED, I tell you!

WiSioux apparently felt my comment was worth a -1. I guess while we're all busy watching the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs, he'll be busy searching for the World Championships somewhere on TV.

If only Barry Bonds had 'roided up a few years earlier in his career...he may have thrown Sid Bream out at the plate.

Just trying to fit in with the millions 209 fans who apparently LOVE it.

Honestly, I was more heartbroken in 2001 than in 2011. Down 2-0, tie it up in the last few minutes, EVERYTHING tilting your way, then, BOOM, Krys Kolanos.

Remove Arkansas and Alabama from the equation and DU-UMD outdrew Mama June by 3.5 million.

Loosely translated: "If we keep pushing it on TV and in stuff like Sports Illustrated, viewers and readers will HAVE TO watch it or read it. Women's "March Madness" First Round: #1 UConn 116 #16 Albany 55 #2 Duke 94 #15 Hampton 31 #1 Baylor 119 #16 Texas Southern 30 #2 Mississippi State 110 #15 Troy 69 #1 Notre Dame 79 #16 Robert Morris 49 #1 South Carolina 90 #16 UNC-Ashville 40 WHY WON'T MEN WATCH WOMEN'S SPORTS?

Showbuzzdaily.com - "US and Canada women not in the top 150 shows on TV on 4/7/17." L Twins via Twitter - "US and Canada women - Cracked the top 500 shows on TV on 4/7/17! #LotsofViewers! #ProudtobeonTV!

Sorry, but mens and womens soccer BOTH bore me to tears. Count me out. "Hey, MafiaMan, you wanna watch soccer with me?" "No thanks." "FINE...I guess I'll just ask geaux_sioux then!"

Nobody watches the World Championships, mens OR womens.

Womens SOCCER? https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/nov/21/uswnt-60-minutes-equal-pay-us-soccer-dispute

"The cost shouldn't matter...just reinstate it...PLLLEEEEASSSSE...think of the millions of young girls who will never have the chance to play college hockey because of this decision."

"They" had the help of the NCAA. Disagree with their bull (cough, cough, state of North Carolina) and you get the horns until you cave in.

Yea...because baseball is considered America's past-time and hockey is still a niche sport.

1916: Person "X" is rumored to have said this. Let's "research" it and find out the truth. 2016: Person "Y" is rumored to have said this. Let's "retweet" it, truth be damned.

Even SI bought into it with a story a week ago about how since NHL players were not going to compete at the Olympics, that "ALL EYES" would be on the women's tournament. Yea, we're all holding our breath wondering if Germany can keep it within 10 in the medal round.

Sorry, they're too busy REPRESENTING AMERICA AT THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS TWO WEEKS AGO!

Doesn't matter - they threw it out there, now it'll be on Kennedy to deny it or debunk the allegation. No worries, though, just the fact that people are discussing it is exactly what these two rabble-rousers want.
