Me too! Mark me down for Oct. 31.

Oshie or Toews? Close one... but "Toews" rhymes with "saves" so I give Oshie the nod. Kozek or Duncan? Duncan. The best shot from the dot in the WCHA. Forney or Zajac? Zajac. (won the coin toss) Radke or Kaip? Kaip... rhymes with snipe. Lee or Porter? I think Porter will win by a narrow margin. Bina or Miller? Bina wins the coin toss, but there's a lot of unknowns about his return.

I was hoping Mapletoft would apply...

Agreed on all counts. Could've been much better.

Man... this guy is young!

Well put.

The "religious right" crowd amounts to only a very small fraction of those of us who consider ourselves conservatives. Conservative and religious right are apples and oranges. To try to make a connection between the two is insulting and offensive.

Nope... vacationing lately. He was on this morning.

Of course I do. If I didn't, I'd watch the squirt games instead. Helluvalot cheaper tickets. Duh... I hope this question is rhetorical. I want #8... and if we get it by beating the gophers or BC or Umass or AA, I don't give a crap.

A lot more people, a lot more cars... a lot less seating. Northwood really has a nice setup. (I'll be there too)

I'll be in the Hatton, ND demolition derby. It's a 4th of July tradition! Nothing on this earth like like getting smashed and banging in public.

Dr. Kupchella too...

Please... no more cow town talk. It hurts my eyes and burns my nostrils.

The Congressional Subdivision homes may provide what you're looking for. These are the homes west of interstate, and south of University Avenue. It's a jaunt for walking, but biking to campus would be a snap. I haven't lived in town for a few years, but I think the price range for these homes would be in the 150s... more or less.

Of course he'll be back at UND next year. After all... he puked at the combine.

FYI... Ticket renewals are due TODAY!

Mine, I believe, was purchased at Scheels. (gift/ not positive) You might give them a call too.

The circles I am in are concerned about competing, (mostly a concern with the basketball programs) conference affiliation, and putting UND athletics further into red ink. For me, it's an exciting but nervous time for UND sports. Lots of questions yet... hopefully we'll all find out the answers soon.

Top speed in excess of 45km/h. Google rules.

Okay... nerdophobes beware: Using 13.00 seconds; and a 435.99 foot linear path around the nets and dots; (using a 2.50 foot offset from the dots and the back of the net, and consistent 22.50 foot tangential radius for the turns) he got an average speed of 22.866 mph. While I didn't see it, I'm guessing this was from a dead stop. So... the 30-35 speeds, IMO sound pretty reasonable... especially on a straight stretch.

I'll be happy to help with the bills, as I have for many years now. But while it sounds callous, I really don't give a damn about "growing demand for season and single game tickets." Yes, I'm going to renew... like probably 99% of the people that got the renewal form in the mail. But even mentioning demand for tickets in a Season Ticket Renewal Letter is pretty stupid if you ask me. And to list it as a reason the costs will increase is pretty much biting the hand that feeds you. I agree with adjensen.

GF herald picks up on the lastest Commie craze... Link

About students' voting priveleges, I respectfully disagree. On the casino, for instance... if it passes a vote, it will be part of our community for years. I am simply of the opinion that the vote should be left to those who have a long term stake in the community. As recently as yesterday I had a conversation about this with a UND student interning with our firm this summer. He was of the same opinion as many stated, "If I buy a house, and make GF my residence, then yeah... I want a vote. Otherwise, what right do I have to make long term decisions for the community?" Regarding the tuition reimbursement: I took out student loans while I was attending UND. I got a job in the Grand Forks area and started paying them off. I could have went to MPLS and made a lot more money, but I wanted to be here. If we start "paying people" to be a part of our community, what kind of community will we have? In my opinion, one with a lot of 5 year turn over, and a city that will be weaker in the long run. High housing turn over will reduce property values, and in turn reduce industrial and commercial development... the big guns in community longevity. Thank you for your post, and I respect your well-thought views and opinions. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on these subjects.

Because the Governor of Florida is the President's brother. Because FSU is a big time school bringing the NCAA big time dollars. Because FSU has the funding to make an endless nightmare for the NCAA. And on and on and on. It's quite frustrating to see it happening, but the NCAA's wishy-washiness is going to payoff in the end. Every time they go off on an enforcement tangent, they're digging their hole deeper. More inconsistency from the NCAA, at least at this point, is a good thing.

Here's the complete H.R. 5289.
