  1. UAA was an independent from 1988 to 1994. If they have to shut the program down, it's on them. Especially after they recently built a 110 million dollar basketball-only arena.
  2. They are saying on ags that ndsu took some of the top rows in the student section away....
  3. True. Smaller retail business is very competetive now. The good thing for them is that if the owners can get a handle on tech, social media can be a great source of free advertising, and they can sell online to supplement their storefront income. Of course there is tons of online competition now. Business savvy is prob more important now than ever.
  4. Amazon is going to save America (huge stretch). Box stores are closing and small specialty shops are thriving in city centers. Edit: at least in places like Stillwater and white bear lake.
  5. This thing is written like a bad VOX article, and the quality of evidenced based research is embarrassing. The section on social justice is comedic.
  6. Weah at 195, and being only 5-8, has gotta have some surprising power I'd think. As far as QB's go, I really hope they have the QB1 only play half of the Valpo game. If Tommy is QB1, it would be great for a guy like Vaugn to get game experience, either for the future, or if Tommy gets hurt at any point in the season. Same for if Vaugn is QB1, Tommy still needs more experience in case Vaugn were to go down. If the battle is tight between QB2 and QB3, let them each play a quarter. Our QB depth needs experience, and Valpo sucks. If the game is still close after half, the starter should be benched anyways.
  7. I'm hoping they can work out a Betty style loan.
  8. Love it. Great choice of questions as well. The Betty is now paid off as well, correct? Perhaps this could be great timing for the new Pres to meet Kris.
  9. This sounds funny, but I don't know what the Oak Island voice is. Hopefully that isn't embarrassing to admit.
  10. I think if the rules change on this, these schools shouldn't be able to drop a kids scholarship for athletic performance alone. Otherwise you're gonna see kids lose scholarships due to more transfer students coming in, and then the kids who lost their scholarship will then transfer and do the same to another kid, further compounding the issue. Not sure how THAT is good for the student athletes. Agree that it's BS that student's can't move as easily as their coaches, but I think their needs to be SOME disincentive to limit an abundance of transfers.

    The Herald

    Very well written and worth the money.... : "Public employees are not any gambling on their visits to Sin City — at least not with taxpayer money."
  12. My group might have to back out due to pregnancies so I looked at listing them on stub hub, because ticket master isn't allowing resale for this event. From what I understand, ticket master does not release the tickets until right before the game, so that is why the availability is so close to game day, and it is also why they are mobile only. When someone buys tickets for these games on stub hub, the seller will have to transfer the tickets from ticket master once they are released. I do not believe there is any way around this no matter what website you look to buy the tickets from.
  13. If memorial is bulldozed and UND football is in the Hyslop, they will need phase two to be built before the Hyslop/Stem renovation is started, correct? I feel like now they will be in a much better position to get public funding for this, if that is correct. Now Phase II money is really money for academics... or at least it could be argued.
  14. True, but he was also going to get his shirt pulled as a true freshman, so he had the talent to justify his ranking. If you look at our 24/7 recruiting page, most of the guys who have star rankings turned out to be impact players. That said, 24/7 still sucks, because there are multiple recruits that commit to UND, and they don't bother to update the recruits account to show that they commited to UND. Examples: https://247sports.com/Player/Quincy-Vaughn-46084437/ and https://247sports.com/player/samuel-salih-fort-46056222/ nad https://247sports.com/player/reid-neal-46048625/ and https://247sports.com/player/jack-wright-46080629/ and https://247sports.com/player/bennett-weber-46079859/ I think Brian's work is valuable, be even he will admit that looking at recruits other options isn't the best way to evaluate players, but it's really all we have because there isn't a lot of info out there on most FCS guys.
  15. I think I remember seeing on twitter that he was waiting forever to get is SAT results back. He got them only recently, I think, perhaps that is why Minnesota didn't work out for him?
  16. Can't build this if Memorial is still there. Just saying.... Seriously though, it was probably condemned.
  17. If i had a vote, I'd probably contradict myself and approve this, but it depends on the plan. I agree with you. It's just unfortunate that this is the situation that we are in.. There are some pretty good articles/documentaries that document the tax incentive battles between cities, specifically the Missouri side vs. Kansas side of Kansas City. What do homeowners and smaller businesses get for improving their properties? Higher taxes!!!
  18. Would rather see the small companies that rent out space in the mall get tax incentives. The tax breaks that these bigger projects always seem to get are ridiculous. If they want downtown to grow, they should tell the mall to kick sand. Let the free market work itself out without government interference tipping the scales, especially if they want to see growth downtown.
  19. Guessing this guy was being sardonic with this tweet, but on the other hand I wonder if he knows anything. I googled his name and he is apparently the director of sales and marketing for the NAHL and an Indiana grad.
  20. https://www.grandforksherald.com/news/2204584-grand-forks-scrap-yard-embraces-new-scrap-metal-law It's mentioned in this article from Dec 2013 that pieces were at the scrap yard of Residual Materials Inc, located in Grand Forks. Someone here probably knows the owner... "As Gibbs drove around the RMI scrap yard on a recent frigid morning, he points out notable pieces sitting on top of the small metal hills. Beams that supported the former Ralph Engelstad Arena are among them, as well is a massive rebar pile from the recent Interstate 29 project. Meanwhile, a new electric shear cut metal into smaller pieces, and rail cars were loaded nearby. Business slows down this time of year, Gibbs said, as the cold weather sets in. RMI started in 1977 by Gibbs' grandpa, dad and uncle. They originally salvaged precious metals from old computer mainframes before expanding the business to include a variety of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. RMI has also started salvaging metal from cars."
  21. I broke the news 15 days before their own presser and uscho! Mayby Indiana hockey is legit.
  22. Think it possible that with the young QB's and boltmans success, that he could see many more snaps under center? Like 15% - 20% of snaps under center and they have him actually throw the ball? At some point, if he took too many snaps, it could turn into having two QB's and nobody would want that I suppose.
