  1. I like UND's chances…Ferrous State will be rusty.
  2. Logo-less UND getting absolutely no love whatsoever from the national media. I don't even know whose logo this is. Of course, Yahoo! was using the Sioux logo for football just last year.
  3. ...I'll shout when it measures eleven! (I love Night Court!)
  4. Fish happy to be on the ice…was lonely in the stands.
  5. Maybe Omaha should scale back those plans for a 7k seat arena. Sad.
  6. Potbelly coming to Fargo in Summer 2014. http://www.inforum.c...icle/id/428972/ Can a GF location be far behind? (Pretty please, restaurant gods?) Or maybe a Firehouse?
  7. If you are a Midco subscriber, you will need to log in using your Midco TV EVERYWHERE login, which may be based on an e-mail other than the one at which you regularly receive e-mails from Midco. I don't use a Midco e-mail account and learned this the hard way the other day, missing a lot of the game. If you are a TV EVERYWHERE noob or only use it occasionally, before going to NBC, have your regular Midco account login information handy so that you can figure out your TV EVERYWHERE login information.
  8. Princess Fiona accepted a meaty ogre, and look how she ended up…living happily ever after in fairy tale land.
  9. Just so it isn't a dick during interviews.
  10. Hy-Vee needs to expand a bit farther north. They would absolutely blow away the pathetic local/regional chains in this area. Huge stores, great selection, quality breakfast/deli/Chinese food, dining room, gas stations. I can only hope that the new Hugo's location will take a cue from its contemporary peers…the Grand Forks locations are relics of days long gone.
  11. A drop in the bucket if the tribe's off-reservation enterprise is a serious money-maker and, just as importantly, reaches new markets. Probably lots of I-29 travelers and 'urbanites' (applying that term loosely...it's ND) who wouldn't set foot in Belcourt but who would gladly step into a shiny, new facility in GF. Heck, even Wal-Mart started out in backwater small towns; now there's one in every upper middle class suburb. If the tribe is pushing, I'm sure they've done the math.
  12. As a non-gambler, the only upsides I see are economic development (retail, dining, etc.) around the site (NIMBY, of course) and the addition of a quality entertainment venue to get us on the map for touring artists and events who seem all too content to skip GFK and even FAR on a regular basis.
  13. Yeah, look at all the problems they had with "Omaha."
  14. Only if you're a high school baseball coach in Fargo. In which case it's all too real.
  15. Y'all might get your wish…Hak just sent this text to the team: “We are two months into open gymsone month from the end of the regular season and obviously all of you are satisfied with last year’s titlenight's game. We are the team that will havealways has a target on our backs. We are the team that everyone throws their acehot goalie against. We are the team everyone wants to beat this year. I am sick of stupid excuses to not come to open gymplay a full sixty. … If you want to be an athlete commit to it. One hourTwo games a week is not too much to ask if you want to be an athlete. If you make an excuse not to comecompete then you are telling me what kind of athlete you are. I cannot require you to comecompete but I thought I would have a group excited to try and defend awin an inaugural league title. Not to make excuses and not care. Some of you are not even in a sportthe weight room or watching film right now, which is even more pathetic. … I will not send out another message like this, but some of you may be in for a rude awakening when the seasonMiami comes and you are not in the lineup due to a younger player that puts in the time.” ​Word is that a certain player's parents are, at this moment, frantically searching for Faison's phone number.
  16. I'm nominating Jutting for "Best Use of a Timeout Early in the 2nd Period by an Assistant Coach in the history of college hockey." UNO never looked back, and the Sioux obliged.
  17. The Forum has reported on the content of the text message(s) that apparently cost a long-time Fargo high school baseball coach his job: “We are two months into open gyms and obviously all of you are satisfied with last year’s title,” the message reads. “We are the team that will have a target on our backs. We are the team that everyone throws their ace against. We are the team everyone wants to beat this year. I am sick of stupid excuses to not come to open gym. … If you want to be an athlete commit to it. One hour a week is not too much to ask if you want to be an athlete. “If you make an excuse not to come then you are telling me what kind of athlete you are. I cannot require you to come but I thought I would have a group excited to try and defend a title. Not to make excuses and not care. Some of you are not even in a sport right now, which is even more pathetic. … I will not send out another message like this, but some of you may be in for a rude awakening when the season comes and you are not in the lineup due to a younger player that puts in the time.” Are we honestly at the point where motivation of players by coaches is a terminable offense? I know a lot of people pi$$ and moan about what they perceive to be a needlessly elevated importance placed on sports, but come on. Does anybody here - and especially current/former athletes - see anything wrong with what this coach did? DISCLAIMER: There is often more to the story, and I'm not saying that isn't the case here, but the media reports thus far have been absolutely silent on anything other than the above-quoted text(s) and the reaction of the parents of one student.
  18. DayDreams Specialties (www.daydreamsspecialties.com) 1501 11th Ave N. (near Acme Tools and Darcy's Cafe) GF, 58203 (701) 746-1963 Had a jersey done 3-4 years ago for my son with tackle twill name and number…they did an excellent job. Reasonably priced, as I recall. And they did a super quick turnaround for Christmas.
  19. They weren't exactly hanging on the walls. They were hand-painted onto the walls. In other words, they were part of the structure, which is not to say that the U couldn't have cut them out before turning over the keys to the place. (I can't imagine their presence drove up the price for the demo bid.)
  20. Eligibility for registration and enforceability as a trademark are separate things; unregistered marks can still be infringed under the federal Lanham Act. http://www.law.corne...rk_infringement Also, a determination by the PTO in one case is not binding with respect to other applications/registrations.
  21. So, this international showcase event -- hosted in a truly global city like Vancouver -- is important enough to bring two schools from the states (1,636 and 2,987 miles away, respectively) but is not important enough to televise? Not even a single game? Didn't make sense when they announced the TV schedule, and makes even less sense here on the eve of the tourney. A million degrees below zero out, nothing else on TV...I'd watch the ads at twice the volume and not even complain. Bottom line: we need more of these games on TV. Even conceding that regular season, conference road games not picked up by the big boys are typically beyond our reach (a different debate altogether), why not the occasional special event?
