It's actually a double pipe (pipe within a pipe) with sensors in between and emergency shut off valves on both sides of the river. 100 feet below the riverbed, I think it's pretty safe to say this isn't going to be the Exxon Valdez, guys. Also people don't realize how many pipes are already under all our rivers. They always make it sound like this is the first time anyone's ever done anything so horrendous.

I just really hope we win this one . . . my 3 year old is going to Pre-school today circling her finger in the air and spouting that the Bison better watch out cuz "the Hawks are circling". (Her teacher is a BIG Bison fan and is always wearing Bison stuff on Fridays, we, of course, wear Sioux stuff on Fridays). I just don't know WHERE she gets this stuff.

Also, just a note. . . you really have to be aware of what's going on w/ the latest environmentalist "buzz word". Any research you do on the subject will inevitably lead you to population control. It's not just humans "polluters" that are bad, it's all humans in general and there needs to be a limit on how many are on the earth. But no one ever really reads up on this stuff. That's why you'll see more and more big companies and corporations changing their tiny print tag-lines from "a green company" to a "sustainable company", not because they have any idea what it means, they just want to be the right kind of "pc cool".

That first guy was pretty painful to watch. Hopefully we can "Take it to 'em" tomorrow!

Couple things. . . they're moving their water intake 70 miles south (because of low water, I believe) in the next month or two. They've killed at least 30 cows and last week, shot a horse and mutilated it to retrieve the bullet. They've dumped sugar in tractor tanks, and spray painted the pick up of a farmer just driving down his long drive way to his house. The farmers and ranchers down there are not happy. On a funnier note, in the Bismarck Tribune yesterday, the protesters asked the city of Cannonball if they could move their camp from the river bottoms to a spot north of town and the leaders told them that it would take at least 2 years to sort out all the paperwork to give them permission. I don't think the Indians that live down there want these freaks around any more. P.S. Only 9% of the protesters arrested before yesterday are from North Dakota.

I was a little disappointed that the TV info wasn't on the schedule poster this year. . . a lot of guys at work have me grab them so they know when the games are on channels besides Midco (most of them have Dish). Still a cool poster.

So, this may sound like a dumb question, but what's the deal w/ the $300 million they raised a couple years ago? Is it an Alumni Association thing? And isn't it sitting somewhere making a ton of interest? If so, isn't 1.4 million a pittance in the whole scheme of that and can't someone say, "Hey, we'll help you out?" for a couple years? Ok, that was more than one dumb question.

I'm sorry...I still think it looks terrible....and I was really hoping for a great logo cuz I was just tired of the process and wanted to be done. It's a good thing we own enough Sioux jerseys to survive until the 2nd or 3rd generation Hawks stuff comes out from another company. My grandkids will probably still be wearing Sioux jerseys.

Sounds like it was an epic fail, except for that last line, and considering the "D" kind of looks like a "P" that's even questionable. On an off note; Super excited for the season to start, I think this team is going to be great again.

My first reaction, was to look at the Calendar and see if it was April 1st. Second thought was, "Are these the same guys who designed the new North Dakota License plates"). I had too much faith in Ed, I guess. Although, the other choices could have been worse!! And is it me, or does the N not being even make the D look like a P? It's weird. . . and not in a cool way.

\The thing is... i.e. REALITY CHECK!! You Bison fans are living on one, (Phil Hanson), having a decent career in the NFL, and we're dealing w/ I dare say almost 100 or more NHL roster makers. They don't have a "NDSU players in the NFL" spot in the BIsmarck Tribune every week, like they do a "UND players in the NHL" every week. And you know what?! BOTTOM LINE ..... When THE SIOUX win a Division 1 Championship in Hockey against say, Boston College or Notre Dame . .. our players aren't hoisting the trophy chanting, "Bison Suck". .. cuz we're in a league above and beyond Division 1 AA . . . we're at the top, and we beat the best there is. . .. you're not even a glint in our eye.

Well, we better get our !@#$ together, because apparently we're the only team in the country who can figure out how to beat these guys. Texas and Alabama teams can't figure it out. Although with Carson starting, they were pretty much hosed.

I didn't mean no to being at the alerus... we posted at the same time. Sorry!!!

No, we should have never, no wait, NEVER, agreed to an AWAY, AWAY, series EVER. And we shouldn't have agreed to a regular deal until we had our !?%"÷=% together PERIOD. Faison's a moron.

Faison better call in sick for at least a week.

Why is Stutts still in the game?

Why not fake the punt on 4th and 2? What do you have to lose? A positive note... can't wait for hockey season. Caggulia (sp) is going to light it up.

Rudolph wasn't winning at minot state, what were we expecting? If I saw a sign that said, "Faison is a moron", I'd feel better about life. Men in black 2 is on TNT. I think even Roger Thomas has turned the channel.

He could take "Away and Away" Faison with him and I wouldn't mind. . .

I was talking about all the Sioux fans in Denver, not the Denver fans in Denver. They buy 1/2 the season tickets for DU. Heck, I buy beer for every Denver fan I see at the Conference Tournament and let me tell ya, I'm not going broke doing it!! (It's about 2 a year). Would they travel to Sioux Falls? I don't know. I know some who would. But I also know, if you had the Conference Tournament in Denver, you wouldn't take a hit in attendance at all.

Besides, who says we have to go to the Twin Cities all the time? There's a ton of Sioux fans in Denver too. And Sioux Falls is pretty close to everyone. I think it's time we stop catering to the Minnesota schools. Their fans can start travelling a little bit. It'd be good for them.

Sioux fans go anywhere. Do they have beer there? Then we're in.

You guys are unfocused. I don't care that we lost. I'd hate the target center if we won. I'll talk to you tomorrow after we win.

Sioux Falls even has a new arena that seats 12000.

It has to be a neutral arena. There's a million Sioux fans in denver. (They buy half the Denver season tickets). And air fare is cheap. You wouldn't have a problem with attendance.
