    Anyone heard anything legit on what the team will go to with adidas on its way out?

    Get the skyway across 2nd Ave N built and soon you'll be able to walk from the south end zone of the Pollard Center, through the Hawkway, to Memorial Village, across 2nd, across Columbia, to the Swanson ramp, into Swanson, into the new Union ... and never be outdoors* ... and what's the Union connected to now that I'm forgetting. 

    *OK, in the ramp you might be ... 

    IIRC, the third floor breezeway in the garage is climate controlled, or at least walled/windowed off from the parking area itself.

  3. Curiously, UND severed the link between the old Union and McCannell and deliberately did not re-connect the two, and then missed a golden opportunity to incorporate a connector from the old Union to points west in the remodel of the law school.  Then, the library was remodeled and connected to the brand new Nistler business school, which was also connected to Merrifield.

    Hopefully, the new Union was designed with a skyway in mind, and the law school can be retrofitted as well.

    All this to say, we were just a couple of missed/overlooked strategic decisions away from having a seamless, all-season walkway from Twamley to Merrifield, Nistler, Chester Fritz Library, Law School, Memorial Union, McCannell, Abbott, O'Kelly, Swanson, and the parking garage.

  4. Per their Facebook, ix-nay ita-Pay it-Pay. 

    Last few days...head over there soon! 

    RIP variety in Grand Forks.  Guessing that Pepper Jax would have suffered the same fate, if it been allowed to be built. #stillsourgrapes

  5. Erbert & Gerbert goes kaperbut.  Sure won't miss that drive thru with the impossible 90 degree exit, but sandwich alternatives to Subway and JJ are always welcome. 

    Northend Burger King also gonzo. Meh on that one, and there are still a couple other stores in town for your Whopper or chicken fries fix.

    Proof or I'm skeptical. 

    This is what's gonna drag people (or programs) into the muck with the NCAA, or with whatever state or local body has the power to enforce the relevant laws/rules.  Arguably, the entire premise underlying NIL was that one's name, image, and/or likeness would have some value BEFORE money starts getting thrown around.  Giving blanket or flat sums to recruits before they've set foot on campus - save for the occasional blue chip superstar - is almost certainly going to raise eyebrows.

    Sham NIL deals hiding pay-to-play setups may be hard to prove, but probably not impossible.

    They're going to have to fix that soon. You could lose a good sized dog in those pot hoes. 

    I presume that pot hoes are the more mellow counterparts to their crack and meth sisters.

    Their new “arena” opened today

     

    Marble floors and roasted almonds or GTFO. ;)

    Or, maybe just somewhere on the concourse for fans to get a...byte.

  9. ESPN waits until 6-love to introduce the touching story of the pediatric cancer patient who is part of the Harvard squad.  Maybe they should move the feel-good, human interest stuff to the top of the broadcast?

  10. Hoge opened with a 78 and rallied to make the cut on the number, before shooting a course record 62 on Saturday and casually logging a T-3 finish at the Players.

    Hard not to cheer for this guy.

  11. Central's goaltending was arguably never the problem. 

    They scored 0, 1, or 2 goals 12 times in 24 games (2-10).  They were 12-0 when scoring 3+. 

    Heck, they only allowed a total of 55 goals all season, and only allowed 4+ three times.  That's 7 losses where the winner scored 3 or fewer.

  12. Saw a 'coming soon' sign for "Shoot 360" - some sort of basketball simulation/training - next to the Holiday on Washington.

    Website says there's already one in Fargo, 5409 53rd Ave S...anyone have any idea about it?  Lots more coming nationwide, from the looks of it.

    Coupled with the new-ish sports place at the old Hornbachers, and the revamped Northern Air, seems like indoor recreation may finally be having its day.

  13. Has every private real estate transaction in and around Emerado/GF County been scrutinized to this level?  Every building permit?

    As an American, I want to believe that our counter-espionage efforts do not hinge on an up/down permitting vote of the Grand Forks City Council.

    This all just smacks of 'espionage theater.'  We only know what the powers that be want us to know anyway.

    Now I'm suddenly craving a Pepsi...

  14. Without knowing Grand Sky's real impact, is it fair to conclude that the nation's utterly 'mission critical' drone efforts would take place a little more incognito than a conspicuously branded facility adjacent an AFB on a major US highway?  I mean, setting aside ND's obvious self interests, does anyone believe that the nation's top military secrets and national defense were really ever on the line here?  It's not like we're talking about missile silos or a fleet of B-52s, which tend to stick out.
