  1. So my family and I discussed driving to Oxford to watch the SIOUX play Miami on Oct 18 and 19 but decided that 1100 miles was too far. So we decided that we would go watch the Jets play the Osh on Oct 18.

    2 questions:

    1. Anyone have any contacts for Jets tickets?

    2. If anyone has stayed near the MTS, what is a good hotel?

    Thanks in advance and go SIOUX!

    Stayed at the Holiday Inn & Suites a year ago. Not top end, but a decent place and reasonable rates. Maybe 2-3 blocks from MTS.

  2. September 8- Saskatchewan Rough Riders and Mr. Electricity himself bring home the Banjo Bowl in Winnipeg against the Blue Bombers.

    I went to the new Investors Group Field on Friday hoping to see a CFL game. Only Hamilton showed up.

    The Bombers are a mess right now.

  3. I was heading north on I 29 and decided to check Dahlstroms at Oslo, lo and behold, they did it for free!

    Dahlstrom's is a great example of a dealer that gets it. I'm sure they could bend you over like the others if they wanted to. But they realize you're going to be back in four years if they look you in the eye and treat you fairly now.

    I'm not sure why the high volume places never figure that out.

  4. Bunch of posters around here swear grounds breaking this spring....

    If it is coming soon, I could see them purposely waiting until the legislature was finished to make an announcement.

    Unless that's the case, I wish they'd update every one soon.

  5. And new turf again....

    Wonder if UND could find a use for it and get a deal on the stuff being replaced similar to what NDSU was able to do. Not sure where it could be installed though? Soccer field?

    It would save some pesos if it would work in the IPF.

  6. For as long as Bohl has been coach. All are here for summer work outs. It's just part of the deal.

    I don't think Bohl cares if they stay or not.

    Probably more of a probation thing. :)

  7. I'm asking OBJECTIVELY to both sides here.

    I'd be all for it, but only if it included football. Otherwise, let the Summit die a slow death and wish them the best.

    As long as they'd need UND's help, let's throw in a couple conditions:

    -Gene Taylor publicly grovels for UND's vote*

    -First 2 games at the Alerus*

    *Our friends' reaction to these would make me giggle.

  8. I thought I heard that if fundraising goes right that Phase 1 and Phase2 will not have a gap and it will get done basically in one phase. Correct me if I am wrong.

    If I remember correctly, Phase I was $12 million and the total was $19 million. Anyway, if there's only $1.2 million left to raise, they should be able to get Phase II done shortly if not at the same time.

  9. The manner of UND's rejection of the 4 game contract back in 2002 is the reason that NDSU doesn't want the game now. And that is absolutely tied into NDSU's preception of UND as an unreliable business partner.

    I think everyone agrees where the hard feelings began. But your use of the word "unreliable" facinates me.

    Currently UND/NDSU are "business partners" for soccer, volleyball, men's basketball, women's basketball, baseball, etc.

    Once the cord was cut for several years, why did NDSU resume dealing with such an "unreliable business partner"? And since all these games require contracts, the fear is that only a football contract would contain some double-secret unreliable clause?

  10. They (and the SD schools) would still be good additions to the Big Sky and they may need the Big Sky in the future. They don't want that right now and the Big Sky doesn't care. I would still leave that door open.

    If they needed the Big Sky (and UND's help to get in), it would be almost impossible to imagine the entertainment value. #EatingaShitSandwich#

  11. After the Colorado State post game blubbering and then apology for said blubbering, one would think he would have a bit more tact.

    He called out the conference commissioner and the whole conference. Thats over the top and immature.

    Maybe he should just stop talking to the Forum on Saturday evenings. Or lay off the sauce until he gets home.

  12. Maybe a cash drive is not the answer. Bemidji State has a golf event every year called the Galen Nagle (a former Beaver player who died of cancer a few years back). The event raises around $30,000 every year and all proceeds go to BSU mens hockey. Maybe we should push for an event like this. That might be our best avenue. Plus it stirs more interest in the program and gets former players together every year.

    There is already a golf event for former players every year at Legends in Prior Lake. I believe it raises close to two scholarships per year.
