It's tough to measure the square footage of a building from the outside or from faded memories of what was once there. This should help Columbia Mall out big-time.

Whenever a high-level person (Vice-President, Dean, Coach) is fired, forced to resign, resigns to take another job or retires, there usually is some sort of statement from UND about it. The EERC Director is a big-time player on campus; you simply cannot do something like this and not have it cause ripples across campus and across the community at-large. Which is why saying "no comment" over and over again is a bad idea; people start making up their own stories on what happened or didn't happen. If there are legal reasons for it, then we'll just have to wait until there is some sort of legal action. Which I think is coming. My point is that when you are the head of a public institution like UND, you need to play the PR game better than this. Acting like it's nobody else's business is not acceptable.

I hope you are right; otherwise, they will have one heck of a lawsuit on their hands.

http://www.grandfork...ains-mum-reason Someone should tell this administration that UND is not a private business and cannot keep using "no comment" as the answer to every media question about this. This is a publicly-funded and governed institution of higher education and I think the public has a right to know why this is being done.

Yeah, according to some people on this forum, the Rangers will be fortunate to win a game. I believe this series will be closer than the aforementioned "some people" think. Look for it to go at least to a Game 6 (maybe even 7).

At least the NHL isn't rigged.

In the larger scheme of things, Bieber is not all that important. Turning America's youth against him would be much more effective than deporting him. He could still export his "music" from Canada.

Personally, I think stopping Justin Bieber is much more important, but to each their own.

The man has a teenage daughter, let's cut him a break just for that!

As a good leftie, I support the 1st Amendment for EVERYONE, unless someone is committing libel and/or slander against somebody. Of course, Freedom of Speech doesn't include Freedom from criticism of said speech.

Well played!

I just don't think it's a big deal how people personalize their jerseys. As long as they aren't using profane or inappropriate language, they should be able to put whatever they want on them. We pay a nice chunk of cash for these things (especially the authentics).

Based on that logic, authentic jerseys shouldn't be available to the general public at all because we haven't earned it. And that goes double for game worn jerseys. What say you?

How is it Faison's fault that the Grand Forks Herald obtains e-mails via the Freedom of Information Act? Hello? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?

So now you are resorting to Weapons of Mass Distraction? Nice move son, but it ain't gonna work.

I don't think they would get any signatures from the George Orwell Party, so why waste time asking in the first place? Seriously though, I am not in favor of the Redskins name being retired and I think Congress has more important stuff to work on.

"Just win baby!" They must have stolen that from the Raiders. "Commitment to Excrement".

This is the problem with your fan base: You actually think you will be undefeated forever and ever. College sports is cyclical. What is true now is not necessarily true next year or five years or ten years from now. It wasn't long ago you guys couldn't give tickets away to your home games. That could happen again and, deep down, you know that. I honestly don't care if we play FU in FB again. If it happens in the playoffs, so be it. But until then, goodbye and good luck.

You are proving my point, you don't freaking get it. You are not Notre Dame, you are not Alabama and you are not Florida State. You are not what you think you are. And that is why the game won't happen. And I will sleep at night just fine.

This still doesn't make you guys a big-time FBS program. But nice try.

BTW, no you cannot. If Gene "The Toolbox" Taylor continues behaving like NDSU is a big-time FBS program, then the game will not happen. And there are exactly two things "The Toolbox" can do about it: nothing and like it! Unless of course the Ag College goes running to Al Carlson and begs him to introduce legislation ordering UND to sign the "our way or the highway" contract that has been shoved in our faces. I wouldn't put it past Taylor to pull a stunt like that.

Let me spell this out for you, because you simply do not get it: The...world...does...not...revolve...around...NDSU...and...Fargo. All that success has gone straight to your heads. You actually think you can dictate terms to the Flagship of the North Dakota University System. You are in for a rude awakening son, along with Gene "The Toolbox" Taylor and the rest of the Ag College's minions.

So all you are going to do is post this same diatribe over and over again? Real creative, but I don't expect much from a graduate of ND Ag College.
