Actually, if UAA and UAF were in the same conference UAA could have a basement buddy at the bottom of the WCHA for them.

How do you think that is going to be paid for?

Maybe the Great West can Add Minnesota where they could be competative.

I looked at this deal and it's incoherent, there is no reason to do it what so ever.

This is nothing more than a fringe, crack pot idea that makes little if any sense.

Exactly.

Actually the Unemployment rate for North Dakota is one the lowest in the country. Closing a university would not really be a great idea.

When I first read this article in the Grand Forks Herald I thought it was a joke. My first question is; what's the point? I am conservative as the next guy but this is outlandish. Do we just shut down one of the two bench mark schools in North Dakota? Yeah OK!

Rant was awesome but the Beavers have been Division II since the early 1990's when the NSIC went from NAIA to Division II.

In that situation, I think I would tell them to go pound sand.

Is that a wise move? Wisconsin and Minnesota fill the Ralph when they come to town, I don't know if the Athletic department can turn down that money. Of course with a 12 team WCHA right now we won't see them as much anyways.

That might be a good weekend to take the Al Person trip if there is one again this year.

30.00 for a game in the concrete center. That's steep, but I have to admit that the 8-1 drubbing last year was a fun game to watch. One of the better games I saw UND play in last season.

What ever happen to the plan to update the Memorial stadium that was thrown out there a few years back.

Remember all of those people that said UND getting into the Summit League was a slam dunk as well? We should have been accepted if that was the case.

I think we all knew what "resolved" Meant, anyone that thinks other wise is...

I agree with Scott, the NCAA doesn't the intestinal fortitude to mess with the Golden Domers because they only like to bully small schools.

Actually, I think that Douple acted like a school yard bully in basically not letting UND apply for membership until the nickname issue was resolved (which means killed lets not split hairs here) he even got the NDBoHE to jump on an early transition. This was a Chicago style shake down.

Yes! It would also be a good time to hit the bars after the game to rub elbows with some old BSU hockey players and hockey fans.

That is an awesome Avitar (sp).

The Whistler would be a decent nomination, I also think he would have less staff by the end of the day as well.

Seems like they get younger and younger.

Here is an idea lets not replace him.

I can still remember the low speed chase with the Ford Bronco
