[A couple of UND threads on the Tech Board]

You betcha! (Do you have a triple dare?)

I would dare if I could figure out how to post a photo on this dern site!

[Hello Sioux Nation!]

I was glad to hear the UND band is coming to the game. Might as well go all out. Raider Red is right about ya'll wearing UND gear. Tech fans will make you feel welcome especially in the tailgating areas. They will be a little less friendly inside the Jones but ya'll can take it. Have fun.

[Get to Lubbock]

watch out for the dry counties out there!

SoonersNSioux?!? I swear, you land thieves turn up under every rock. SNS was correct about the city being dry (except for bars and restaurants) on the date of his post, but the great and God fearing citizens of Lubbock recently voted to make the city wet. By game day the lawsuits will be long over and packaged libations should be available throughout the city. Wreck 'em!!

[Get to Lubbock]

UND fans going to Lubbock for the Texas Tech game should check out the Double-T Nation blog where they are running a "Best of Lubbock" series for visiting fans. The latest article covers "Best Nightlife" and can be found at: Double-T Best Nightlife (www.doubletnation.com). Previous BOL articles cover different kinds of restaurants and other items that may be of interest to visitors. Ya'll should make the trip and not worry about the likely outcome of the game. I've attended many games in Austin and Norman knowing that Tech would probably lose (sometimes badly). but I don't regret going to any of them. If you are on the fence, it may interest you to know that SI, Playboy, the ABC College Gameday crew (horndogs every one), and anyone who has ever spent time in Lubbock will tell you that Tech is neck-and-neck with USC and Ole Miss for having the best looking coeds in the country. (That's why I chose Tech over UT and A&M.) Anyway, I hope a good UND crowd shows up to support the team and band.

On a side note, I think UND's "Fighting Sioux" nickname and logo are awesome. Among the best of any university in the nation. It will be a real shame if UND is forced to abandon them. For what it's worth, I hereby give ya'll permission to call yourselves the UND "Fighting Scots-Irish!" I promise it won't offend me in the least.
