We usually hit Bonzers but decided to switch it up on Saturday and hit Tavern United. It didn't take long to remember why we hadn't been there in awhile.
They served the rarest burgers there last time we went....
Rare.... uncooked... they were one of those, which was suprising as it must have been on the grill for an hour or more.
Did I mention the last time we went was... the Last time, we will have ever went.
Might be my lowest rated place in GF..... of all time.

honestly my opinion of why they keep talking about "state lines" is to make it a federal crime either now (cough cough nadler) or in the future...if a local redneck jury gets some white people off ......you crossed state lines so here's your federal charges and your gonna see a jury of sjw times 10000
"state lines" had been debunked, disporived and literally thrown out of this case a hundred times over. ...
The jaw jacking from politicians is and will be nothing more than that.
Local state and at the federal level this thing is over... except for the libel suits. And that is a scientific, and legal, fact.

What pisses me off about the Sioux forever crowd is that I believe they are responsible for the !@#!$ name we picked. So we get stuck with the crappiest most generic name and logo, which was 100% predictable, and then they go and pretend it was never released, because they complain about the new logo and name being bad! Branding is 100% a huge deal and it is hugely important. It's crazy how often I talk to people in the Twin Cities, and they don't know who UND is... they all know the Bison though, because of strong branding. Brands all over the world pay huge bucks for advertising/product placement, because brand awareness and name recognition is important. And it does affect many different aspects of the university, including attendance. Trying to say brand awareness isn't important when it comes to choices high school kids make? Give me a break...
I think you may be barking up a few wrong trees at the same time.... but there is a point up in them branches somewhere.

Pretty much everybody involved in that scandal has been fired or resigned at any executive level. Are they now looking to purge players that were there?
No, news cycle finally flipped. Nobody cares anymore.
Congrats to those innocent still standing.

I think that's my main problem with it. I've gotten over the idea of it being "boring" and/or "basic" .... those are just connections to how awesome the Sioux head was. My problem is that I don't think it looks good on jerseys. It's too thin and horizontal. It doesn't fit as a dominant focal point on a jersey. Since it was birthed, I thought it would WAY better as a secondary logo.
UND: We want logo.
SME: Ok $350,000
UND: We were thinking..... cheaper.
SME: ok... we can recolor a current logo... $200k
UND: We dont actuallycarr what it is just need something.....
SME: We have a secondary logo for $100k
UND: Getting warmer but like..less.
SME: we can do a generic bird secondary logo "inspired" by the USPS, that can really only work in one direction?... $50k?
UND: Awesome... I have this coupon....
SME: FML.... fine, go grab that intern we just fired and tell him we have another 2 days of work.

If only there was a way to have an ice surface to practice on outdoors in ND in January like when I was in high school.
Outdoor ice just isnt a reliable option out west there... but then again the indoor ice ain't that reliable either..."cough" wachter rink "cough"

I thought that the school system owns just two rinks in Fargo. I think there actually six rinks in Fargo. I thought the park board owns two and the two at scheels owned by i don’t know
2 at Southwest
2 at Scheels
Hat
Coliseum
Fargo South School...
Thats 7, is there still ice in Sunmart?
West Fargo has 4 and 2? More being built?
That would be 13 total plus 5 in Moorhead? That would be nice.
Bis will have 5 in 2 years maybe.. and Mandan 2.. at least 1 more needed.

Bismarck will be adding a 3rd sheet of ice at the VFW.
The best part about this is that on the day of the ribbon cutting Bismarck will only be 2 sheets behind at that point.
Absolutely rediculous waste of time, money, and resources that does not meet the needs of the current or the future, but punts the problem down the road another 6-8 years... which in Bismarck time will actually be 10-15 before they acknowledge the problem and begin to pretend they give enough shits to solve it.
Lots of patting themselves on the back from an ignorant school board that ponied up the smallest amount possible for the 1st time in 40 years... thinking they "fixed" a problem that they themselves created.

Can’t afford football coach buyouts …
Can’t afford better football coaches …
Can’t afford to complete phase II of Fritz Pollard Jr. Athletic Center …
A lot of financial constraints for a University that has a $100 million hockey arena and pumps $ into hockey updates every season…
Point is, the issue remains that UND treats all non-hockey sports as a red-headed stepchild.
UND football will continue to have up and down seasons until this changes to a degree.
3 hours ago, UND-FB-FAN said:Hockey is the money maker because it received a significant starter donation and since continues to receive the financial majority year after year. That cycle needs to be interrupted before things change and rationalizing this - like you just did - won’t help a damn thing.
In FCS football, with no major television contract revenue like FBS schools have, universities are always dependent on donors to keep things running. UND’s donors are partly brainwashed by the perpetual cycle of hockey investment as per above. This is a major culture issue, in my opinion, that I don’t expect to change anytime soon nor will longtime conservative folks around UND want it to change. It is what it is. And football, basketball, volleyball, etc. success at UND will continue to be largely limited by it until the cycle is broken.
you are right in that $ will solve this and if someone stepped up, whether private or organizationally, and donated a significant amount to UND football, then perhaps things would change. But simple donations to the overall athletic department won’t do a damn thing due to the current culture of UND athletics.
I stand by my ascertation that somebody in hockey hurt you and you just cant get over it... I hope you can get the help you need.
Blaming the state of football once again and forever on your seething jealous hatred hasn't really worked, and never will btw....
Football is what 8 -10 of the nicest days of the year, in a warehouse, to watch a team that at best hopes to compete in an overlooked tier2 division... it can be fun, but the University has made it almost impossible to succeed long term by trying to keep up with the Joneses...
Could have been a perennial, and more importantly relevant D2 powerhouse..... but no... had to have the field inside.... had to be in the big boy club, had to have the D1 (nevermind the asterik) beside the "name".
And for this UND forever sacrificed every sport down the ladder as completly irrelevant and unable to compete in any real way.
I hope one day UND football is relevant again, I do, but to argue that other programs need to have their success interrupted in order for football to have a chance is just petty and sad, it's a loser mentality.
Thats the last thing football needs any more of.
Winners back Winners son. It's a simple as that.
Good luck with your demons.

Is it? I'm not going to attribute it all (or any of it) to the name split, but enrollment is down 15% since 2012, and football, m/w bball, vball, softball, and soccer are all currently/recently struggling. Again, I don't blame the name split for that, but university pride does seem to be falling as well, at least prior to uncle Andy.
I just dont think much of a percentage of any of the "declines" you mentioned can be attributed in any way to a continued rift.
"Enrollment" is a new entity almost alltogether now, and the athletic downturns of the sports mentioned are products of much different concoctions... besides.. didnt yall always say the logo never won or lost any games....
Its not a lack of pride you are seeing its an overall apathy to anything that isnt instantly of entertainent value.
Flashes of school pride are here and there.... just look at how the student body came together to heap ridicule on the bronzed Mike Hawk.

The biggest problem isn't that there are fans that are not accepting of the new name/logo and are still holding strong to the Sioux name/logo; It's that the REA and the hockey program are leading the charge on the issue. Should the REA have to Fighting Hawks logo at center ice? Yes. Should the hockey team have a jersey that says "Hawks" on it? Yes. Should coaches refer to the team as Fighting Hawks hockey as well as North Dakota hockey? Yes. Should the REA have waited another 18 months to renovate their locker room until the new logo was released to incorporate it in the remodel? Yes. But unfortunately the answer to these questions is no.
So the frustration really is about the REA and the hockey programs hesitancy to embrace the Fighting Hawks name/logo and the and that encourages fans to do the same. Releasing a new jersey with a name that isn't even our nickname just proves it even more. And the AD and UND President don't seem to think its and issue is what is most frustrating.
You and your 2 or three login buddies are literally the only people that allow any of this to bother them or effect their daily lives in any way.
Find a hobby.

Because pepperoni pizza effing wails?
His argument failed when trying to equate the logo with pepperoni pizza.
A low budget afterthought of a logo is in now way equitable to one of the greatest creations of mankind. Even a clearence Jacks pepperoni is a vastly superior item to the useless 1 dimensional bird shape.

The word you are looking for is STUPID. There are thousands and thousands of players that are paying to play in junior hockey leagues all over North America. There are thousands of players in the NAHL, NCDC, Canadian Jr A that would kill for a USHL call-up. Players are replaceable so they better watch their step. The difference between players from Tier 1 to Tier 2 to even Tier 3 is not as great as people think. There are a TON of good players out there these days. The difference between them is the opportunities they are given.
Ya man , bad take, like really bad.
You are correct in your facts to support your bad take for sure, but... No.
I see leadership qualities in the young men that stood up and said enough. Good on them.
Ownership and management in Omaha are turds, have been for a long time, Flush'em all.

Yes because tourney teams are decided 3 weeks into the season. This team lost a lot from the past 2 seasons. People expecting them to perform the same will be disappointed.
