The downtown area is very much alive right now. Especially in East Grand Forks. The Multi-plex theatre has all kinds of people heading down there for dinner and a movie. With the lack of parking down there, they need to get there early just for a spot, so dining is a bonus. Maybe if they hadn't overhauled the menu time after time in recent years they could have competed. Or they could have properly staffed the place. I was in there around thanksgiving, very inappropriate behavior from the staff. Blue Moose, Applebees, Mama Maria's, Mike's Pizza, and the Boardwalk are all doing very well in that area, so that isn't the problem. I don't know these people, but if they didn't like this Dave guy managing, to the point that they pulled out of the investment, why didn't they just lose this Dave guy?

not disagreeing, just wondering the reasoning behind cutting the program?

Red River has played fewer game, so yes, all alone. They should end up with the #1 seed with more opportunities to get points in the last week of the season than the other top EDC teams.

If I heard correctly: GFC will lose #7 Luke Johnson & #16 Jared Sorlien and RR will lose #19 Alan Zahui and one of the Bernhardson boys on defense (didn't hear which). They will be out for their next games, both Thursday. RR is at home against Fargo North and Central heads down to play Wahp/Breck.

Red River beat GFC tonight 3-1. Red River boys are now all alone atop the EDC. Central is in a free fall right now. They have now lost three straight in conference play. Regionals start on the 17th.

Ususally too busy trying to figure out what the hell the ref called. Maybe you could set me up an equation to figure out that whole penalty thing...

The power play clock drives me nuts. If they are taking donations to make this happen, I'd like to know about it.

How about which watering holes in the GF area have the proper channels...

Home opener on April Fools Day? Hope we're fooling the Bison and not being fooled by mother nature...

That is very well said. Jodcon touched on this as well, but the fact that we don't have pro sports opens it up to college athletics to be the most followed within a state. Most often in states that dont have a major professional franchise, major college football becomes the focus of most of the attention (Alabama Crimson Tide, Oklahoma Sooners, West Virginia Mountaineers). Some turn to basketball (Vermont Catamounts, UNLV Running Rebels, UConn Huskies). I think the only other state that may be most boastful about their hockey team may be Maine about those darn Black Bears.

GPR is a little down, but they haven't fallen as far as anticipated by most. Red River suffered a little suspect goaltending and some bad bounces. Grafton's goalie stood on his head.

Thought you were heading in another direction for a second.

I too am torn. I agree about keeping Dell sharp, but it only one maroon and gold clad NumbSkull to crash the net in a dirty play, to leave us with Eidsness for the rest of the year. This is a good opportunity to get some more confidence for him.

that is a huge boost to the lineup, hopefully everyone can get/stay healthy this weekend.

wouldn't want to hit a deer

not in traffic

if the win totals continue to be that low, the attendance will drop even further

its basic risk assessment. we are writing a novel here. its a simple, "i'll be home in twenty" or "on my way". If theres no one around, yes, I'm texting. Whats next? No walking and chewing gum at the same time?

I believe that is true. I know he wasn't around for teh senior season, but do not recall where he went. This sounds correct.

if someone cannot text and drive safely, they probably shouldn't be behind the wheel in the first place. I text and drive from time to time. I don't do it in bumper to bumper traffic. I don't do it as I pass through unmarked intersections. I absolutely don't do so with kids in the car.If i am on I-29 with nobody around, then i am fine with deterring my eves for a couple seconds. The one thing that the law has changed is that when I'm texting at the stoplight, I am looking around to see who is watching, hopefully not an officer...

The open bar is down at the Embassy which is near Alary's. There are also many Sioux fans that stay there. I've done both. Both are pricey, however. Its an expensive area (location, location, location). As long as the sioux win, what else is there? I heard Kangas already bought tickets. I guess he doesn't want to miss it two years in a row.

oh, the irony!

I have actually heard a couple of people talking about it around town. I am going to make an appearance to see what its like. Sounds like fun.

So who is to blame for the QBs having gotten away from it if its still there? The QBs themselves or the coaches for not emphasizing it enough?

I like to see the Irish come to town. I too am a little concerned about Forbort not dressing, as I am a fan of the way he plays. Its going to be a well played game. I think Cichy will have a big night tonight in a sioux victory. 4-1 Sioux! Lets Go Sioux!
