    Then why have it on any station but KFAN 100.3 FM out of Minneapolis? Just have it on the local flagship station. I know they desperately want the Gophers to become the region's choice when it comes to which team to support, but that isn't going to happen with regard to hockey.

    So Jerry Rice and Michael Irvin were made by their respective QBs? I am not totally disagreeing with you, but you have to have WRs that can gain separation and that force double-teams (Calvin Johnson). The Vikings don't have anyone on the field like that right now and that needs to change. Look at how average Aaron Rodgers looked without Jordy Nelson? You can't make wine out of water.

    Montreal beat Los Angeles in 5 games in 1993.

    But it's all "part of the game", right?
  5. fightingsioux4life
    I remember it.

    I was having similar problems last night. Before I went to bed, it seemed to be working again.

    What about the other six teams? The NCHC is still the toughest conference in college hockey, the bottom two teams notwithstanding.

    Where would KFGO jump to if they screwed us again? The Bison contract has been lost. They have a huge hole in their programing to fill.
  10. fightingsioux4life
    I agree.

    I think it is safe to say that if you put the CCM line into North Dakota's program, they would learn how to be effective in all three zones (and on the PP and PK) and would get better playing against a brutal NCHC schedule.

    Nobody is saying MSUM is a bad place to get an education. It just isn't at the same level of a UND or NDSU in the world of intercollegiate athletics.
  13. fightingsioux4life
    I can't speak to that. I suppose they might carry some of their sports.

    Like I have said several times already, we have them right where we want them this time. They lost their precious Bison contract and would probably snatch up our games in a second. But this time, we have the high-ground and the leverage and we could use it to get a better deal than we used to have with KFGO and better than what we have right now with WDAY. I haven't forgotten what happened 7 years ago; in fact, I am making the case for using it as leverage in contract negotiations. Sometimes, you have to put personal feelings aside and promote what is best for UND and its programs (it's called pragmatism). Letting go of the Fighting Sioux name and logo was one example of this. And this is another example.

    Cat Country? UND hockey is on 96.1 FM The Fox unless there is broadcasting conflict with basketball or football.
  16. fightingsioux4life
    I think Joel is a big UND hockey fan, but for all the other sports, it's all Bison, Bison, Bison.
  17. fightingsioux4life
    KFGO is in a vulnerable position losing NDSU athletics; they will be looking for something to plug that gap. If the best thing is NDSU, then the second-best thing is UND. Like I said, Karma is a beautiful thing. The shoe is on the other foot and we might be able to get a better deal because of that. What else are they going to put on? MSU-Moorhead and Concordia?
  18. fightingsioux4life
    It might be a combination of Sandy Buttweiler switching to WDAY and leaving her long-time partner Jack Sunday and Mike McFeely leaving and being replaced by Dan Hammer. I imagine that has caused some people to jump ship.
  19. fightingsioux4life
    It has been my experience that KFGO comes in much better than WDAY in Grand Forks and in other places as well.
  20. fightingsioux4life
    I didn't wear a single piece of UND gear for a month afterward.
  21. fightingsioux4life
    What in the heck do Joel Heitkamp's political viewpoints have to do with coverage of our sports teams? If I thought The Flag in Fargo would do a good job of broadcasting our games, I would be all for it. Even though they are a right-wing Tealiban station. Simply put, KFGO has a monster signal that reaches a lot of people all over the region. Nobody would have any trouble picking up our games. That is my main motivation for snatching up 790AM. That and p!$$ing off all the Bison fans in the region! And for the record, Dan Hammer holds down the 2-5pm time slot on KFGO and he is a self-described conservative. *drops mic*
  22. fightingsioux4life
    Proving once again how political and subjective that award is.
  23. fightingsioux4life
    My thinking is this: KFGO now has a big hole in their programming schedule, a hole that is not easy to fill. They are going to want something to fill it up. Therefore, we have some leverage here, leverage we can use to get a good deal. Karma is nice sometimes; they kicked us to the curb 7 years ago and now they are the ones out in the cold. That is my thinking here. Whether it would work or not, I don't know.
  24. fightingsioux4life
    I think Pat Sweeney is doing a good job. Michaels wanted to cover NDSU, let him keep doing it.
  25. fightingsioux4life
    This is a great idea. It's not like KNOX has anything worth listening to anyway.
