UNDBIZ

And thus, FCS becomes D2 again. The top teams of the lower FBS will attempt to move to the upper FBS with increasing success each passing year; the top teams of the FCS will attempt to move to the lower FBS with increasing success each year; the top teams of D2 will attempt to move to the FCS with increasing success each year; and eventually the teams in each division/subdivision who started out as average will look around at all the teams they're now surrounded by and an attempt to restructure will be made.

There are very few jobs in Grand Forks for people with college degrees. Outside of UND, Grand Forks consists of a (1) hospital and a bunch of retail stores and restaurants to cater to the Canadians. Those stores and restaurants are great for college students because it gives them a place to work/shop/hang out during college, but after graduation most people would prefer to make more than $4/hour plus tips. Fargo is larger and provides more employment opportunities for our alumni and, at least in my experience, most of the companies there prefer to hire UND grads (obligatory jab).

Tweets mention Seattle, Arizona, and Indianapolis

With one rendition of the YMCA per game, during which the student section picks up one person to throw their legs up for the "Y"

Most of those are non-practicing

Removal of all "contact to the head" penalties

It hasn't started yet......

Good to hear!

I believe that ordinance is only for the city government and doesn't really apply to anyone else.

Can't copy Hawaii

If UND becomes the "Pride" or "Spirit" I may have to quit watching college sports.....

Nearly all schools start with a warm-up game (other than the crappy schools being used as punching bags).

Wow I'll take ndsu and EWU. They're both going to lose, but I think the games will be closer than that.

First step is winning games. Although I love our schedule this year, should things go poorly (blowouts by the bad guys) in those games against SDSU, UM, and MSU it could kill attendance for a long time. The team and the coaches need to put a product on the field that people want to watch. I'd love to see some dances/chants by the student section this year. It makes it more fun for those students which keeps them coming back to games.

Please refrain from using the word "herd" when referring to UND football. Thank you.

I feel like DaveK is one of our resident bizun fans. When it seems like the whole world disagrees with you, you may want to step back and say to yourself "hmm, maybe I'm wrong."

Matt Cooke makes dirty checks and takes cheap shots on players. You may think he's a gritty player, but that is only your opinion. As much as you wish it was a fact, it is not. Sorry, but you have zero chance to win this debate. You would have been better off had you simply never tried to argue. With that having been said, I'm glad you are going to drop out of this particular exchange. One can only point out the fact that the sky is blue so many times, if the other individual refuses to accept the truth then that is just the way it's going to have to be. You seriously need to see hockey from a worldwide perspective rather than this tunnel vision dirty tactics Gopher style bastardized version of the game. One does not have to actually be a Sioux fan to recognize that the hard-work approach to the game of hockey is by far the best one.

Gritty players make solid checks and work hard along the boards. Dirty players take out knees and throw elbows.

I'll say it again, when a player takes out as many knees and hits as many people in the head as Cooke has, then it's not a fluke or coincidence anymore. He is a dirty player. "Goons" = Bad. Dirty players = Acceptable. Ok. You like dirty players who take a cheap shot and then hide behind the ref. Ok.

There's a difference between trying to injure people with cheap shots and duking it out in a fair fight. Cooke repeatedly goes for people's knees and he always seems to have his elbows up. When it happens so often it's not a fluke play anymore, it's a problem. In a fight both players know whats happening and are ready for whatever happens, going after players' knees and trying to headhunt players who aren't looking is inexcusable. Now at least I understand why you cheer for the gophers, you have an affinity for cheap players who refuse to fight. Did you ever like anything about UND hockey other than the Fighting Sioux name?
