This is the very definition of "penny-wise and pound-foolish".

But according to some Fargo trolls on here, Grand Forks is bleeding population left and right.

Are you suggesting that the north end of Grand Forks is deserted? I call B.S. on that. People that can't afford the housing on the south end will snatch up the cheaper housing on the north end. It seems like every city has a working class section and a ruling class section.

I think supply is coming closer to meeting demand, but you still see buildings going up.

You really aren't paying $1,000/month for the living space; you are paying for all the bells and whistles they put into those buildings (swimming pools, well-maintained lawns and green space, etc). The good thing is that these new buildings are adding more capacity to the market and it is making older, but still well-managed and maintained apartments more affordable and available to people that can't and/or don't want to pay outrageous rents. Personally, I have put down a deposit for an apartment on the south end near Hugo's and Carmike that was built in 1993, is in good shape and is reasonably priced. I don't think that would have been possible even 5 years ago.

I am sure Faison did a lot of coordinating and communicating to help the process along.

Another round of congratulations are in order for Faison and his staff for getting this done.

I guess you could substitute Miller with Jeff Kolpack or Dom Izzo if you wish. My main problem with Miller is that he doesn't give the score enough during the game. It's almost like you have to wait until the end of the quarter or half or the game to find out who is ahead and who is behind.

Amen.

I believe it happened in 2003 and 2004. We were about one minute from doing it in 2005 as well, but I won't relive that pain here.

Please tell me you are kidding or trolling or both. The hype machine out of Imperial Cass-Clay County has been unreal the past 5 years or so. Listening to some of the rhetoric, you would think that FU was already FBS and in the Big 12 in more than just wrestling. And you are right, Miller sets a pretty high bar for homerism.....SCOTT "My Oh My" Miller, that is. He is without question the most annoying media personality in Imperial Cass-Clay County. Thank you for the interest in Bubba Ball and the Grand Forks Heraldo. But I think you should focus more on Weber State and your various injuries (especially at QB). After all, 0-2 would hurt your playoff hosting chances, wouldn't it?

Let's give gfhockey credit on this one. He said Bubba was the best choice and I think he was right.

I also was skeptical of this administration, but I am more than happy to admit I was wrong. Major props to both Kelley and Faison for getting this done. I imagine more than a few coaches helped push this across the finish line, if you know what I mean.

The Bison rubes are just upset that UND is matching what NDSU did about a week earlier. They were looking forward to UND not following up on this and thus being able to grind our non-hockey programs into dust, never to rise again. Faison's announcement on Wednesday put that idea on ice, never to rise again.

Wow, you are accusing me of a lot of "crimes", aren't you? Too bad you can't prove any of it. And people think I bloviate on here!

This is utter nonsense. You cannot trademark a name and then sue anyone that dares adopt it while using a different logo(s). Otherwise, you wouldn't have MSU-Mankato and Nebraska-Omaha both using the name Mavericks, with different logo designs. This threat has no legal standing or merit.

The MVFC is solid; the Slummit is not.

As long as we don't copy their logo(s), they can't stop us from using the name Roughriders. If that was the case, they couldn't use it either because of a certain CFL team that Weston Dressler plays for.

So it would seem that our choices are limited to the four bolded sports above.

I never said he hadn't done anything good. You are right, he has done a lot of good things. But there also have been some things that I didn't like. He took way too long to dump Mussman. He has given way too much rope to Jones; I hope his patience is rewarded the next couple of years, but I am not holding my breath. I still think some of the transition scheduling for several sports (especially football) could have been better (USD and NDSU kicked our butts in that regard). However, stepping up on this very important issue (which could have doomed our Division I prospects if we didn't handle it right) has definitely improved my perception of Faison. Now it's time for the coaches and athletes to take advantage of it.

So far, we have: Men's Swimming and DivingWomen's Swimming and DivingBaseballThat would provide some savings.

Men's and Women's Swimming and Diving are a couple of examples.

I would tell him the same thing I told Climax-Fisher boosters when they whined and complained about this with regard to Grand Forks Central 20 years ago: I do not care. Get over it. As long as we don't have the exact same logo(s), there is nothing this guy can do about it.
