UNDBIZ

What if he averages 12 YPC and unicorns and flying pigs storm the Alerus?

I didn't entirely disagree with you: I simply pointed out the challenges Grand Forks faces, many of which are self-imposed/created. Grand Forks needs to start competing with itself, rather than with Fargo. Hopefully that makes sense.

Unfortunately for GF, the Fargo metro has the jobs for UND grads. Bigger and better engineering firms, bigger and better accounting firms, bigger and better mall, bigger and better news media, better hospitals (also, emphasis on plural), Microsoft, Cargill, Titan Machinery, 3 universities (2 of which are good for hiring entry level professors), cheaper housing, cheaper everything else, and potential for southern and western expansion via West Fargo. The city planners of Grand Forks may as well have built walls on the north and west sides of the city. Duluth has been dying for decades and Williston is a long drive (nobody wants to visit Williston for a weekend anyway), so the argument of HWY 2 = I-94 is a bit weak as well. Also, for being a college town, the city of Grand Forks and its permanent residents are quite hostile to students and young adults in general. Due to this, most students have little to no interest in living in GF after graduation. All the city cares about is attracting Canadians to shop there, and not enough thought is given to making the college students and graduates happy. Fargo embraces what it is (a hub city for rural residents and a landing pad for young adults who think MSP is too big), rather than focusing on Canadian shoppers (they're going to come regardless) and spending taxpayer dollars to become an enclave of "art" and green energy that is entirely dependent on the federal gov't. Can GF make improvements to keep young people in the city? Sure, but it's going to take some soul-searching and a change in culture, and that doesn't mean spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on an "art corridor" that nobody cares about.

Also, how can someone (dan) not understand the concept of 2 reasonable people having differing opinions regarding the level of centralization necessary to constitute adequate oversight of branch campuses?

When is the Hyper Bowl this year? Really looking forward to it.

He's actually watching what's been happening at UND?

wrong link

The guy was too outspoken for MSNBC, kinda tells you all you need to know. (before the politics get into it, yes, FOX is just as bad on the other side)

UND - 15 (yes, that's 5 field goals) Rocky Creek - 10

I'd like to see them both put on 30-40 pounds. Mayock has the height to be a TE.

LSS must be stopped.

Who cares. Hopefully he disappears soon too.

Whoops, my bad. Fixed

I'll say 8,500

The Timberwolves franchise still exists? I thought they folded after Garnett left

Oh the stadium will be named Gfhockey Stadium. The student section can be called the den though.....

I'd take another Brady Trenbeath or Weston Dressler though....

No, we definitely should be getting a few kids per year from Florida/Texas. But the core of the team needs to be from the midwest.

According to the nc$$, they were the only midwest regional applicant.

They put in bids for the REA and Scheels. Scheels was awarded the bid because it's a non-campus site.
