That's a good idea, but I don't think the sand in the bags is even near the quality needed for a walkable beach. Lots of jagged rocks and such. Though it would be nice to make all the lakes beaches larger with the plethora of sand in the valley.

http://northdakotapreps.com/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=6485 If you want to see how this topic turned out on the preps forums, just look at that. Really heats up about the middle/end of the first page. I think this is a turn for the better, but as this is a GF dominated forum I have the feeling I won't be agreed with. We know the Ralph is a better venue, but I think the more expensive arena doesn't translate to a better venue in this situation. Fargo at least deserves a chance.

I'm definitely not saying that Walaker is correct, I often go in the opposite direction he does, but he's trying to settle Fargo down a bit. We have two weeks to prepare instead of 3 days this time, no need to panic. The NWS does blow things out of proportion at times, everything from wind storms to hurricanes. They prepare and alert for the absolute worst, and also, predictions like this get national attention for help, in case we do need it.

Well let's hope they're wrong again. They overpredicted by two feet just 48 hours before the crest hit, how reliable is two weeks?

Fargo is doing perfectly fine at the moment. A lot of streets are reopened and inside Fargo it basically feels like any other day. The word of a second crest is among us with all this new snow, so we'll see.

Too bad. Haha, just kidding. Hopefully Fargo does just fine in the face of this flood. Looks to be a biggun.

myfoxhockey.com should have a live audio/video broadcast, as far as I know.

Wow, nice posts you two. I agree with both of you on that. The fact is that chewing may not alter your ability to play a sport as smoking or excessive alcohol will, but it does have incredibly dangerous side effects as well as addictive properties, and I'm completely against having any high school athlete, or anybody for that fact, chewing. Is it really worth that small buzz you get?

The peanut butter was part of a tournament supply of food that they buy so that they don't have to worry about them getting fed all day long, or so I'm told, and they've had the food before. Unless I'm being lied to, it was peanut butter. For those saying it was feces, do you really think that they would do what it takes to make that happen? That's absurd, and would have been a far different situation. As for stupid things, I guarantee you could easily find similar things from any school across the state, including your Grand Forks teams. At least these kids weren't doing things like drinking or chewing in their locker rooms. Not saying it's acceptable, but events like this aren't uncommon.

Please tell me where you got this information. As far as I know (From a parent of the team no less), there was no property damage and the only thing that took place was peanut butter being thrown onto the walls of the shower in the locker room. This completely coincides with the story. There is no mention of property damage (Broken chairs and hand dryers would have DEFINITELY been put into this category, as well as mentioned, which they weren't), and I see nothing wrong with the comment by the coach. How do you respond to a question about something that was cleaned up upon arrival? "Mountain out of a Mole Hill" sounds like a good description to me. The only stupid thing that happened was that it wasn't stopped during the occasion or before they left. This occurrence is hardly newspaper worthy, and really didn't need to involve the public. Or maybe it's just because I'm from Fargo that I see it this way. To DaveK, you're on a Grand Forks forum, filled with Grand Forks natives, and Grand Forks parents, players and fans. You won't receive any help here, and anything you say will be shot down if it regards anything positive towards Fargo or negative towards Grand Forks. It's basically like a NDSU/UND argument, there's no way to debate, just make sure the facts are straight and let it go.

Updated so far.

Not a stupid question at all. Dean Wilson resigned after taking a job as an assistant principle at Carl Ben Eielson. He seemed to leave the Bruins with one of the most talented squads they've had in a while. The coaching jobs are now filled by Benson (Head) and Davidson (Assistant). I'd look forward to seeing Benson being named Coach of the Year for EDC or State for sure, simply due to the team he has. Here's another updated on the EDC/WDA tournaments. So far all the top seeds have dominated in EDC, and I don't know what's been happening in the WDA, lots of lower seeds beating higher ones.
