I have some leftover sandbags in my garage from the 2011 flood if you need any more

And even with the priors ndsu wouldn't have suspended him if not for the public/media reaction.

Did they?

Look at Frattin's numbers before being suspended from the team. The guy was not a big-time player his freshman and sophmore years so the idea that he was brought in for a late season push really doesn't apply.

So can one assume the softball team beat up and had sex with AD Dorn while high on methamphetamine??

I thought 1 was Robertson, 1 was Disterhaupt, and 1 was still unkown.

Nobody faults UMN for playing the other Minnesota schools first. We'll be playing games annually against many of them too. It's the multi-year agreements with Hockey East teams that irk people.

For Example: Last season UND started 1-5 in WCHA play

At some point the consumer has to take a stand when it comes to paying to watch blurry figures lagging across a 15 inch screen. Especially when the radio is free.

Lol, he set his major at UND as "Make It to the NFL" Well, hopefully he can do just that and give UND a few great years along the way. Hopefully he'll be able to keep his grades in order and the captains make sure he doesn't Ryan Chappell it.

So will he have 3 years of eligibility plus an available redshirt?

Ahh.... beautiful towers of beer.

I know Ground Round usually picked up the webcasts when they were available. I'd call around..... them and maybe some of the local places like Wild Hog, Whiteys, etc. Edit: And apparently Rumors.

From what I've read Alaska has fund reserves of around $40 Billion while North Dakota's are closer to $3 Billion. We're not quite on par with Alaska because most of North Dakota's land/mineral rights are owned by corporations/private citizens, whereas Alaska's were in large part owned by the government. It'd be nice to drop taxes and get a rebate check, but I wouldn't expect it unless you move to Alaska. Also, I believe they still pay property taxes in Alaska, I remember the news saying North Dakota would be the first state to drop property taxes had Measure 2 passed.

PDF page 77 (report page 57) shows overall funding and page 75 (55) shows funding from the general fund. http://www.nd.gov/fi...mary2013-15.pdf This site includes past budgets (those proposed by the governor and approved by the legislature both). http://www.nd.gov/fiscal/budget/state/ Edit: Looking at those numbers, Higher Ed funding from the general fund increased nearly 70% from the 2005-07 biennium to the 2011-13 biennium (21% increase for 07-09, 27% increase for 09-11, and an 11% increase for 11-13). The governor proposed a biennial general fund increase of nearly 40% for the 2013-15 biennium. This results in an increase in funding from the general fund of nearly 136% since the 2005-07 biennium. However, I'd expect the legislature to trim this biennium's proposed increase by quite a bit. Total funding for Higher Ed increased about 40% from the 2005-07 biennium to the 2009-11 biennium (12% increase for 07-09 and a 26% increase for 09-11), but then actually dropped 4% in the 2011-13 biennium. I'd guess the drop was probably due to fewer/cheaper capital projects, but I don't know. The governor's proposed 2013-15 budget is an increase of 37% in total funding over the 2011-13 approved budget.

It probably should be sliced and diced. - The proposed new Higher Ed funding model suggests funding should be based on credits completed at each institution. How will next semester's funding be awarded when they don't know how many credits will be completed at each institution next semester? Think there's fraud in the reporting of enrollment/credit numbers now?? Just wait until the funding model is based on reported credits completed. - $30 million to create Education Challenge?? Why would tax $$ go towards philanthropy? Is that even constitutional in ND? It wouldn't be the first time an unconstitutional law was passed. - $13 million for a new library at BSC?? To be used by who? Serious question regarding the funding of all these capital projects, why are some buildings (UND's Gamble Hall/Business School) required to secure donations to build/expand and others just get the money from the state? - $12 million to create Research ND?? Most of the Centers of Excellence are failing/have failed and are only operating thanks to state $$ support, so let's change the name of the program and throw more money at it? - $62 million for housing development incentives?? Housing prices in North Dakota are at an all-time high, if that's not enough incentive I don't know what is. I was under the impression they already admitted this didn't do anything to stimulate housing when they tried it 2 years ago. It just thickened the lining of the pockets of the housing developers who were already building. If I'm way off-base with any of these please correct me, as I'd love to feel better about the OMB/Governor's Office proposal.

Was that South Dakota State's problem too?? The east coast went to bed instead of staying up to watch some great SUMMITMVFC football.

I think they provided revenue guarantees up to $500k. I have no idea whether they've had to make any payments on it or not.

It appears this only includes state $$ and not all of the incentives paid by individual cities/counties. The number would be much larger if that were the case. In fact, it doesn't even appear to include all the state $$, as I don't see anything regarding the Centers of Excellence (Centers of Mediocrity). Those are quite the state government boondoggle, with only a couple of them actually becoming self-supporting.

Just shows that the Goofs are dirty/cheap no matter who they're playing against....

Sweet pic of your #1 DB at BSA wearing a UND shirt.....

AP had 21 carries for 210 yards and they still chose to try to throw the ball whenever they got into the red zone. Dumb playcalling. As much as I enjoy having the Queens lose, it's gotten hard to watch at times. Feed that man (AP) the ball!!

And a rivalry was born.....
