Hopefully they stopped en route to help corral some loose piggies.

They could have waited until this afternoon to make a call. Drove up I29 mid afternoon with issues. Visibility was good with no drifts. Definitely could have gotten the 2 state qualifying games in late afternoon/early evening opposed to tomorrow's mess. Way to go Rerick.
Strong statements coming from someone who posted them after 7:30 p.m. on the day in question. Hindsight much?
There were at least two teams traveling in through weather (Blizzard warning was scheduled to end at 6:00), two local teams, plus on and off-ice officials, venue staff, and other logistics to put into place. Lots of moving pieces. The championship game added yet another layer.
The event organizers (local AND state) are certainly not above criticism here (especially for travel contingencies that could have been planned in advance and cost avoidance measures bordering on the extreme/absurd), but playing Sunday night quarterback and micro-analyzing one single decision made earlier this morning is frankly unfair.
EDIT: These pigs also wish to voice their support in favor of the postponement decision. https://www.grandforksherald.com/news/local/semi-trailer-hauling-pigs-overturns-south-of-thompson. BTW, this happened after 2:00, in "whiteout conditions."

This is what baffles me....how do you not have all the teams stay at the tournament site?
$imple explanation, right out of the AD manual.
- Buses/fuel cheaper than hotels.
- Taxpayers would throw a fit.
- HS athletics budgets under fire.

Not sure what's worse...unabashedly celebrating what other people have done with their money, or complaining about what other people haven't.
On the topic of fundraising, FFS, give whatever you can to whoever the hell you want, and shut the f*** up.

Make that 2 up with one to go
Golf's equivalent of a 2 goal lead in the third.

Here is a possible solution for overtime in the NFL:
For regular season games, the overtime, all 10 minutes of it, would be played. If, at the end of those 10 minutes, the score is still tied, the game ends in a tie.
For postseason games, the first overtime would be mandatory, all 15 minutes of it. But, the difference between that and a regular season game is that, if the game is still tied after those 15 minutes, the game goes into a second overtime, BUT, it then becomes sudden death....next score wins.
Just to keep the thought exercise going...what happens at 00:00 of first OT? Is it like the third Q, or the fourth? Do you roll over possession, line of scrimmage, etc.? Or start the second OT anew? And if you start anew, is it just another coin flip?

I’d just play another full quarter. It’s not like tie games happen often
And if still tied, then what?

I still hate the OT rules.
What alternative is there that doesn’t open the door to perpetual play?
The college model is a gimmick and rewards only short-field play.
I suspect that most of us on here are old enough to remember true sudden death, and the first-possession FG rule change was a bit of a compromise. Losing the coin toss doesn’t prevent the defense from rising up.

streets are bad again...any workers out and about?
Reckon the only way to get the streets addressed is for UND to draft a policy about them.

The North Columbia realignment between the overpass and 6th has been on the books for years.
The roadwork carried on for more than a month after the fall semester began at UND.
It's November and there are still no permanent stoplights at either University or 2nd. This means multiple lanes sharing a single traffic light suspended overhead, and no protected turns in any direction, despite turn lanes aplenty.
Sad.
As proof that I am capable of posting something positive, I can update that as of this week, both signals are up and functioning!
However...the "University of North Dakota" illuminated signage on the skywalk is now partially obscured. Win some, lose some.

Another needless UND hit piece, or a legitimately newsworthy story?
(My money's on the former.)

I keep wanting to defend Carson Wentz against all of the hate, but damn...a playoff spot on the line and the Colts are choking hard against the worst team in the league.
And the day after the Bison win another trophy, too.
Bottom line...North Dakota simply cannot have anything nice.
But Josh Duhamel is engaged, so there's that.

This one stings. Was not an ideal substitute for Al's, but definitely retained some of the DNA. Gonna miss those open-faced hot sandwiches and daily specials.
