UNDBIZ

If she could have cared less, then he gave her the option to sit for a half rather than being embarrassed in front of her teammates (because apologizing is so embarrassing). You seem to have a bigger issue with the fact that this guy coaches his daughter's team than anything else. Most parents I know who coach their kids' team do so out of a sense of having to chip in, not just so they can be in control. I don't know if you're dad was mean to you growing up or what, but not all parents are the same.

Where did he say he's abused his daughter?? By threatening to bench her for the first half of a soccer game because she skipped practice?? Any respectable coach would do the same.

I can't believe this didn't pan out.....

And after 2 hard-fought periods, we've gotta score of 2-0 in favor of Oxbow. We'll bring you back for the third after a short commercial break....

I hope you're correct....

So a state law isn't as bad as a state flag?? (I also don't see the sanctions being expanded to ndsu, just questioning the reason stated)

Is this on the Forum's website or??

I'm thinking the vote only being 3 to 1 on this site is bad news for UND when it comes to the statewide vote. If only 3/4 of the people who are educated on the topic vote to save UND, I can't imagine how bad it's going to be once you add in the average ND voter.

I'll pay for the gas....

Irrelevant. Only LakesDave is allowed an opinion.

If he's not any good and they want him to leave and open up a scholarship.....

For example:

Thank you for the clarification. I guess I don't really support legislators being appointed to any position (unless perhaps they were already in that position and later elected to the legislature). So whatever makes it more difficult for them to be appointed is what I'll vote for. In this case that would appear to be NO on Measure 1.

I believe that is already happening to some extent. Rather than paying for a spot in the parking lot, people are going to the Tavern or Playmakers in the Canad Inn. However, drinking in a bar/restaurant is not tailgating....

THIS

I graduated a few years ago but when I was going to UND they sent emails to all the students notifying us of events taking place that week or the next week. Unfortunately, the emails often showed up late in the week so if you didn't check your email friday you didn't even know about the football game the following day (unless you put forth enough effort to look up a schedule, which most students don't do). Also, the emails were filled with Greek life garbage so I (and I'm guessing most people) just deleted them without reading most of what was in the email. Putting up more notices of upcoming games on the bulletin boards in the dorms, lecture buildings, student union, and dining centers would be a quick, easy step in the right direction (I guess can't really guarantee that they're haven't already been doing this for the past few years to no results). When I started at UND, the football crowds were awesome, but they've really tapered off. I think one of the biggest problems may be the changes the Alerus Center made to tailgating a few years ago. As much as I hate NDSU, their tailgating is much better/easier than tailgating at the Al.

Sorry about that, I created another thread titled "June 12 Measures" for those wishing to discuss them.

Measures 2 & 4 will bring people out to vote. Here's how I plan to vote right now. Please feel free to comment on or correct me on my interpretations of Measures 1 & 3 as those are the ones I'm less knowledgable about. Measure 1 - No (if passed, allows state legislators to be appointed to state gov't positions) Measure 2 - No (if passed, removes property taxes and entrusts the state gov't with funding local gov't) Measure 3 - No (this just looks like a dumb, unnecessary measure that will ensure religious freedom... which we already have.For those who believe it will ensure more religious freedoms, remember that those freedoms will also be granted to people of other "religions," scientology and such) Measure 4 - Yes (if passed, allows UND to remain competitive in athletics) What are your thoughts on the measures up for vote this summer?

LakesDave doesn't care about the people actually playing and wearing the jerseys. He only cares about what makes him happy.

Have you ever participated in an organized sport?? You don't seem to be able to comprehend what a team is....

I don't know why you would even try to make this argument when it is known you don't care about the team at all. The only thing you care about is the team's nickname.

Dear LakesDave, if other teams have tight fitting jerseys and UND has loose fitting jerseys, then UND is at a disadvantage. Hence, UND should get tight fitting jerseys. It's not about personal preference and it's not about looks. You're not going to win this argument because you are wrong and there are facts to prove it.

Ah k, I suppose it would help if the Vikings hosted playoff games more often

If the Vikings aren't moved to LA, the Jaguars probably will be.....
