  1. They’ve been carpet bombing Mussman style so far
  2. There's nothing wrong with constructing a new district in a town. Grand Forks' downtown is chocked full of potential which is why I feel strongly about further developing it. One huge issue with the examples you gave is that nobody lives there. We don't need malls. Malls are dying because they're stale. A new district with shops and offices and restaurants can only work properly if it incorporates residential spaces. There are a couple locations in Grand Forks that could support this type of development.
  3. Easy to find a place to park yes. Downtowns should be planned around the movement of people first. Cars second. That's not to say the entirety of downtown should be biking paths and closed off streets with no traffic. There's a balance, and right now it's tipped too far towards cars.
  4. If you want to attract and, more importantly, retain, young talent to a town you need to have a strong downtown with all the bells and whistles.
  5. You're welcome boys. I tuned in when we were down 19. Joe Cravens is a fun listen with his strange southern sayings.
  6. Same climate and it works. In other words, the snow excuse doesn't hold. And you're crazy if you don't want GF's downtown to experience a renaissance on the level of Fargo's downtown the last 10 years.
  7. And also a couple of the worst defensive plays you'll ever see.
  8. "Marlon Stewert is hotter than a fat kid's corduroys" - color guy
  9. My stomach dropped when I saw the video. He hit awkwardly and clutched at his mid-back the same way Shazier from the Steeler did when he injured his spine.
  10. Works pretty well in Fargo.
  11. This is actually a good thing. If you want GF to grow and become a better city it starts with a better downtown. Walkability is the key.
  12. Man some of you are sensitive. The UCF job would be a massive professional upgrade. It has nothing to do with his lack of loyalty to UND. He’s got a vision for UND to expand and improve which is more than can be said about our last couple of presidents. I hope he stays.
  13. You could have just said banners. Or did they raise one for each fan that attended a game?
  14. I always have to laugh when people try and pretend that twitter followers make your point more valid. He's got more followers than Idalski had wins against the Gophers and Badgers and Bulldogs. Self-importance is a funny thing.
  15. I’ve heard Leach has improved a ton for whatever that’s worth.
  16. This has me curious.
  17. @Teeder11 we’re counting on you.
  18. I’m very high on him. He could play both ways. Hell of an athlete.
  19. 3x3 is for skill and speed we have few players with those attributes. Wolanin is one of them. Say what you want about the risks he takes but he is pretty incredible.
  20. I’m sure Olson is a good kid but man he is brutal on the ice. He’s just not good enough for this level.
