  1. These things won't stop with a new name. They may dwindle a bit in how often but I would expect most of these to be around for 15-20 years....maybe forever on the "Sioux" at the end of the anthem.
  2. Ha. When I was in Student Senate I did everything I could to prevent that from happening. I had some angry people with me when myself and a couple others laughed at it and called it an embarrassment to the University and we refused to fund it............but they finally funded it through the letter winners I believe.(at least that who was in front of the Student Senate asking for $$$)
  3. Tom Ward is the Blais connection at Shattuck....maybe had a good relation with JP as well, but Blais and Ward are pretty tight I believe.
  4. I received this email today as well.
  5. My Sales Manager played for NDSU.....he has nothing but good things to say about Dale Lennon.
  6. Somewhere between 3000 and 3500 would be my guess.
  7. You think the Gophs will be a 2 seed?
  8. I tried to get them online. I had thought about going down to 300 tickets on Broadway in Fargo in which case I would have been even more pissed off if they weren't selling tickets until 11 and Scheels Arena basically sold out the event before they were even officially on sale. Guess we just have to wait and see which other schools make the regional and how many of their 500 tickets each they go through and then what those schools decide to do with any extras.....I would guess they would either a. sell them to UND; b. sell them themselves on the open market; c. turn them back into the NCAA for re-sale
  9. Why didn't they just say there weren't actually any tickets available?
  10. I have 2 tickets in 106 for the Saturday November 1 game against Air Force...$50 for the pair.

    Measure 5

    True....but I believe "Current Governor" would be the key here.
  12. I can only do so much. I can't make them listen.
  13. I don't believe the GOBC wants the identity of gfhockey known at this point.
  14. Not to mention his own family basically gave him an allowance to stay away from the family business.....weird that the people of Minnesota trust him with the state money when his own family wouldn't let him near the family business and just tries to keep his meds balanced. of course Minnesota doesn't have the best history of electing sane competent people to office....Ventura, Dayton, Franken(well assuming he is elected this time), Bachman, and others. I could probably include Wellstone and Klobachar here too but Wellstone never ran on one thing and did another. He laid out who he was and what he would try and do if elected and then did it.(I can respect that even if I disagree with it). Klobachar has kind of grown into the position.(I think she probably had a bunch of idealogues who helped her with the first election and then moved them into staff positions initially until they started making her look crazy and I think she has more capable staff around her now)
  15. Well I am in district 27 now instead of 41 although I still get calls regarding my choices in 41. It is about time the Dems nominated someone in this district who isn't a left wing kook or someone looking to be a career politician. Truth be told Carlson and Grande should both go.... Davison is solid for the Senate though(gotta support my old baseball coach!)as long as the Republican's maintain a strong majority in the house I am OK with thinning the herd a bit.
  16. Nah. As long as they paid protection money to gfhockey everything would have been fine.
  17. UND needs to be able to stay on the field and grind out first downs to have a chance. As you say pace of the game is huge. EWU games thus far have an average of about 155 snaps per game compared to the average UND game with 126 snaps.....I know the game is still 60 minutes but you could say that is similar to extending the game by another quarter....for reference, NDSU games are around 130 snaps a game but their offense is a bit more efficient than ours....or a lot. For comparison's sake as I realize that 2 of these teams are better than the other, but EWU averages about 7.2 yards per play and snaps the ball about 80 times a game while giving up 6.3 yards per play on 74 snaps. NDSU averages about 6.4 yards a play and snaps it about 69 times a game and gives up just 4.2 yards a plays and only allows 61 snaps a game while UND is only averaging 4 yards per play and snapping it 58 times a game while giving up just 4.9 yards per play and allowing about 68 snaps a game. A healthy NDSU vs. a healthy EWU game would be very interesting. EWU would need to get up a couple scores to have a chance in my opinion. If they got behind and NDSU started grinding out first downs running the ball and running the clock they would have a hard time keeping their QB upright when they did get the ball.
  18. If they had 2500 tickets available then anyone over priority number 750 will have needed members above them to turn down tickets and/or not use all available to them.
