Also, can't remember where, but saw in a previous report Standing Rock is estimating loss of casino revenue at $1 million. This protest is going to cause much more long term damage to Standing Rock than the pipeline would have.

http://m.bismarcktribune.com/news/state-and-regional/north-camp-cleared/article_06a978e2-1485-5450-b3fe-13ce519fd15f.html Authorities have cleared the camp set up on private land and pushed the protesters back to the main camp on federal land. Sounds like a group of them were able to loop around and set some construction equipment on fire. Some arrests but no major injuries reported. All in all its looking like a pretty successful day for rule of law.

Alaska fans (some sound like employees of the team) on the uscho forums don't appear to think so. Could be wrong though.

Waiver 'request' sent to NCAA. Needs to be approved.

Pretty much all of them (other than UND's Mismash) are committed to B1G or Hockey East schools. Any concerns there or is the NTDP just down this year?

Appears Hessenflow came on as a school-start walk-on.

Travel hockey at age 10 is 70% keeping up with the Joneses, 20% drinking/hanging with the other parents, and 10% making the kid happy/perception of giving greater opportunity. It's also about 97% built on credit card debt.

This is it, the time has come, Santiago busts a 50+ yard TD in this game.

He played in at least one game this year though, so wouldn't he need the medical RS?

Started at UND in 2000-01, year after we won the natty. Was coaching in the USHL prior to that and I don't think he ever made the playoffs. Won a lot of conference championships with UND, obviously.

This thread probably isn't completely clean, but most of the DaveK vs the world stuff has been moved to

He's a senior now.

He was a true freshman last year, right?

Lol, he specifically mentions the family facts list for penalty box heckling.

Thing is, they're not trying to convince the people of North Dakota to be against the pipeline. This is a Washington DC fight and federal politicians are influenced by celebrities. The anti-oil folks are hoping the ND law enforcement messes up and seriously hurts someone, as it will allow for a federal crackdown on ND and will give ammunition for a permanent freeze on construction of the DAPL.

And UNI flies up to top 5.

Could Bolinske be the guy after Studsrud graduates?

UND 34 Weber 24 in a game where nobody really feels comfortable until the end. Weber with 2 touchdowns from 35+ yards out.

Yep. Watching a sport in SD with obnoxious commentators was worse than I remembered. Good win UND.

Something I'm thankful for: MidcoSports

With Montana coming to town, look for the EWU number to spike this week. Hopefully we have solid numbers against Weber and can stay ahead of them.

They'll just reduce budgets for non-hockey programs.

The deficit was mostly addressed with cutting baseball, privately funding men's golf, and increasing revenue (tickets, fundraising, etc.). It's not really a hard number that has to be addressed by a certain date. UND will just continue cutting/limiting non-hockey programs and shifting around the money.

For those not traveling to Duluth. Support UND athletics and the city of Grand Forks. Football tickets start at just $12.50 ($7.50 for kids) and you can still watch the hockey game in HD..... Just throwing it out there.
