Au contraire. I can confirm that Sonic tastes much better than both tires AND hot tubs.

Chick-fil-a pro tip: Breakfast. Biscuits (chicken as well as sausage) are excellent. * Bonus tip: Sweet Tea.

Free ear plugs to first 100 fans...to muffle the sounds of old bones and creaky joints. Seriously, though, hat's off to one heck of a piece of UND history.

Amen - the ticket thread was going crazy. Buyer's market, for sure. I'm guessing the opponent had a lot to do with it. Calm before the storm, perhaps?

Sure, he's talented, but I say mix in the band, a few pretty coeds, and unique instrumentals now and again. Same guy every night gets old. What is this, Chicago? Next thing you know, the goal song will be Chels....

Six players making their debut last week scored points. I think this is a young team; if not by years, then in offensive production by age.

Young team, first road trip, and a long one at that. Smells like a trap kind of weekend (hope I'm wrong).

Always a sucker for Meatballs. "Each camper will stalk and kill his own bear."

Yeah, but how many ex-UND wrestlers would you want to see naked in ESPN's Body Issue?

Instead of lining the pockets of a greedy scalper--err, season ticket holder, why not just take the old lady out to a nice dinner, watch the game on TV, and donate half the difference to charity? You'd still be ahead.

I think what OP meant was that Midco didn't produce the games. They were still on the Fighting Sioux Sports Network (FSSN).

I can't possibly understand the ins and outs of the broadcast business, but in this day and age of digital on-demand everything, I have a hard time believing that more events can't be simulcast by agreement. Give the local producer a few bucks and boom - the switch is flipped. Back in the days of big-ass satellite dishes in the back yard, you could pull in almost anything. (For free, if you had the, ahem, right descrambler.)

South Columbia (40th-47th) re-opened over the weekend. Just a shade under 5 months. For seven blocks. With the road completely closed.

Hasn't stopped most of the NFL.

TV schedule is out. http://www.undsports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=13500&ATCLID=211670237 Isn't the Bemidji game usually on Lakes Public TV or something like that?

One more word: math tutor.

Kennedy. Tell yourself, Kennedy, Kennedy, Kennedy. Not Kelley. Kennedy.

Let's try this a different way. (I warned you it was counterintuitive.) The original poster commented about the lack of retro Sioux jerseys in the Dacotah Legacy Collection. UND is building the FH brand. Therefore, an arena full of FH jerseys is good, and an arena full of Sioux jerseys is bad. (Precisely to siouxkid12's point.) It stands to reason that, regardless of demand, UND will not release retro Sioux jerseys until it can be relatively certain that FH jerseys will begin to rival or even outnumber Sioux jerseys at the arena. The only way for that to even remotely happen is to sell a sufficient number of FH jerseys while delaying and ultimately limiting availability of retro Sioux jerseys. If too many people speak with their wallets and 'boycott' FH jerseys waiting for retro Sioux, I suspect we'll be waiting a long time. Hence, my belief that the best way to speed up the arrival of retro Sioux jerseys is to buy the heck out of FH jerseys.

As counterintuitive as it may seem, the only way to speed up the release of retro jerseys might be to run out and buy current jerseys. A LOT of them. Poor sales of current jerseys might be perceived as slow acceptance, which will make UND even more reluctant to roll out retros for fear of cannibalizing their own market. If the new stuff flies off the shelves, however, and gets seen at games in big numbers, that may ease fears about what will almost certainly be a controversial release of Sioux merch.

Doug is awesome. He came through ND on a cross-country drive last year, and had a meet-up at the Fargodome where people gave him stuff. That shirt pops up in videos every now and again, and almost always elicits a reaction or two in the comments.

A sprint and a spit, if somebody did that on center ice or the marble floors at REA there'd be blows exchanged.

Alerus PA playing "Who Can It Be Now?" once all the subs are in the game. Not sure if funny or sad.
