And I thought they were just friends. #phrasing https://www.grandforksherald.com/news/education/1773868-Study-aims-to-address-physical-relationship-between-UND-and-downtown-Grand-Forks

Thanksgiving Day games shouldn't faze this team...they spent all of last season stuffing the puck into the opposing goaltender and having their feathers ruffled. I just hope they don't pull out the Black Friday jerseys.

The old 1000 Degrees location across from the Alerus gets new life. https://www.grandforksherald.com/business/1358155-Boss-Pizza-and-Chicken-coming-to-Grand-Forks

A&W a casualty of the Memorial Union closure.

San Jose gets Brody'd.

What an idiot. Crappy announcer, and a perfect snapshot of a lot that is wrong at UND. Grow the f*** up.

How long until someone on the REA staff cues up some XXX video on that thing? (chest patterns > test patterns)

Biggest stumble at the Alerus since December 3, 2016.

But that just leads to "green and white" and other abominations. Unofficial nicknames are no better than bad ones.

This has to be historic...two teams in a single playoff went sweep-swept in successive rounds. And one of them was the sweeper before they were the sweepee. EDIT Double sweep historic, but not unprecedented.

Hurricanes downgraded to tropical depression.

I’ve always felt that the original was tastefully proportional to the arena. After all, one of the reasons the Ralph is the Ralph is because so few architectural details were missed. I remember after the fire; the higher resolution displays were certainly a nice upgrade, but I never felt like we needed more real estate up there. Bigger is not always better.

With all of the talk about slumping attendance, disappointing team performance, and greatly reduced demand, it would be interesting if you could use the ‘19-20 season thread to keep us posted about how this goes. Periodic updates on things like frequency of nibbles, insane lowball offers, etc. Totally anonymously, of course, and if you’re not comfortable discussing actual dollars, you could refer to price in terms of expectation and reality (i.e., how much $$$ more or less you got than expected). Maybe even some of your experiences in trying to unload the tix as single-game over the past few years (assuming you did). You know, for science!

"That's the right choice, mate." -- Steve Irwin, probably.

Will probably be working the drive-thru when the announcement comes that they are out of fries.

Agreed. What would it take for people to step back the next time they want to criticize a university president, or the high salary? I suspect that few understand how impossible that job really is, and the toll it exacts on many well-intentioned individuals who sign up.

Kudos to the B1G marketing folks for getting out in front of this. Love or hate the specific teams, it’s a cool concept.

UND not necessarily the ugliest s**t show in higher ed right now. https://newsok.com/article/5631228/sources-james-l.-gallogly-to-resign-as-ou-president Makes a 3-year tenure seem positively infinite by comparison. And OU’s guy was an alum and business executive with apparently no traditional academic credentials.

I’ve seen no discussion about this (hence, my light-hearted jab), but as good as it was for Hakstol to make the playoffs right out of the chute in Philly and dispel the myth that the college-to-NHL coaching transition was somehow impossible, what Montgomery did in Dallas has raised the bar considerably. I am in no position to assess whether the Stars job was inherently better or which coach had a greater impact as a rookie, but it’s actually a tremendous compliment to Dave (and the Flyers) for breaking down the wall.

Discontinued.

Second OT was strange while it lasted. DAL took all of the momentum, and STL darn near pi$$ed it away on a boneheaded sequence in their own end. Montgomery still ends up with more NHL playoff wins than Hak.

Canceled.

Bishop has been unreal, as the Blues have really controlled play through the first 12 minutes of OT.

Columbus got Phil Collins'ed.

And the carousel goes round and round. What’s your pleasure - swooping bird or cartoony bird? Full-body or head? Profile or down-the-beak? Wings spread? Talons out? ND or none? Simple for reproducibility or complex for aesthetics? You say it’s not rocket science, but it ain’t exactly easy, either. Dozens of people on here have debated the questions I just asked for years now and often until they were blue in the virtual face. Each question is maddeningly polarizing. I’ll save you the trouble: THERE IS NO ANSWER. NOTHING IS GOING TO MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY. THE PERFECT LOGO DOES NOT EXIST. ART IS INHERENTLY SUBJECTIVE - ALWAYS HAS BEEN, ALWAYS WILL BE.
