  1. I believe that Target Field is winterized, I thought when they first opened they had this big deal about how the ground is heated and how they take rain water that is on the field and reuse it throughout the stadium.
  2. well to do HD, the FSSN has to get an HD truck (costs over a million dollars), so the cost would be on WDAZ's shoulder, not the UND's athletic department. when you do the powerplay time in the corner of the tv it is my understanding that you have to get another camera and hire a few more people to control it in the truck. its not as easy as someone thinks. my suggestion is if you are really upset about it, you should call or email WDAZ and ask them about it.
  3. to have a penalty clock on the screen costs a lot of money, more than you actually think.
  4. and the correct call was made!
  5. yes, the dad did do the right thing by admitting it was a different son but the insurance company is not in the wrong and they don't have to do what you call the "right" thing. it's just like any other contest if the kid does not show up they draw another name, problem solved. this dad and son stole a chance from someone else who could have followed the rules and made the shot.
  6. if you pay the kid anything it just shows what kind of country we live in, where we reward cheaters and liars (although the family did come clean afterwards). i say let the kid whos name was drawn take the shot and if he makes it, he gets the money and if he misses it he gets nothing.
  7. as long as you dont live in minnesota you can have all the "miller" you want!
  8. they are suppose to play the Russia U-18 team on December 17th. this is coming for a very reliable source. ferris state must have dropped out of it because UND is not on their schedule for next year.
  9. does anyone know if they sioux are playing up in winnipeg this coming season? is the Russia U-18 game on december 17th going to be the one?
  10. i wrote that wrong. i was meaning that they can become very addictive quiet fast, i didnt mean it to sound like he was addicted to them. although they do help with pain i think these are the types of medications that need to be thought over very carefully before you take them.
  11. thats a sad sad deal. those painkillers are a nasty thing to get addicted too!
  12. well it wasnt monday but thursday will work
  13. semester ended on friday....relax
  14. i'm going to go out on a limb and say they have to pay matt and chay some type of royalties since they are no long students. i could be wrong though
  15. yea todd ended up transferring to st thomas i think but walski did end up being the number 2 goalie at und during his time. so who knows with this guy, maybe if he has a good work ethic like walski than eventually he might see some.
  16. todd alexander, aaron walski
  17. no its too small
  18. no surprise that the people of grand forks voted no. maybe for the next ad campaign the library committee could use "where the red fern grows" as their campaign!
  19. i think the point of this argument is that they want to reward teams that have a successful year and not punish them by putting them in a regional where there fan base will never show up. although i do like the way the tournament is set up now, it gives everybody the same chance to win a title. the team to win the national title shouldn't be the one who has won the regular season title and the tourny title its the one who shows up to play and executes at that moment. thats the great thing about tournaments like this, everyone is beatable and anyone can win. if we had it the way you are saying it would've been UND vs. YALE or UND vs. BC and that wouldnt be that interesting to me. also if you remember in 2001 when Miami and Nebraska play for the BCS title, Nebraska shouldn't have been playing for the title because they didn't even win the Big 12 (which was won by Colorado) and they also lost to Colorado but they jumped over Colorado because Nebraska lost one less game.
  20. its a stupid campaign that is going to end up biting the committee in the a$$. i have yet to hear one of there "awesome radio ads" and i read the paper every morning and i have yet to see an ad about voting on the library. i do see a lot of people writing about it though. i also see that they have a bunch of "hobbit" signs across the street from the library that says "free take one" and there is a bunch of them still sitting there.
  21. well its your opinion and i can respect that but i feel they really dropped the ball and will not get enough votes for a tax increase.
  22. i actually do have a marketing degree. yes, they did get my attention but as i am driving by them you can't even see what you are voting yes on. you can't even see the vote yes! the best ones are the ones against the library, plain and simple, VOTE NO! you should never mix yellow and white colors together as they don't complement one another. the boards best bet to get people to vote yes on a tax increase (have an idea where it is going to go) is a plain and simple ad campaign, nothing fancy and over the top. i for one will vote against a library and i am pretty sure people of grand forks will vote against it too!
  23. With the way the job market is I say go for it. Yes, if he stays he has a college education but that doesn't get you much these days as a lot of people are out of jobs and taking whatever they can get. If he can develop his hockey skills and make some pretty good money playing a sport he loves, so be it. Is it disheartening that he is leaveing, yes but he has deserves every bit of support from us Sioux fans as his journey into the professional ranks starts now.
  24. i cant wait to get a brett hextall winnipeg jets jersey!
  25. anyone see the signs in peoples yards about voting yes for the library? i cant believe that simmons flint created such a crappy sign! you can hardly see the message they are trying to get across! if i were the people who ordered these signs i would be upset because they are nothing more than a medium sized sign that says "hobbit".
