    So are you advocating sandbagging over multitasking? Interesting choice.

    So what you're saying is...there's not only no honeymoon, but the bride, minister, and caterer didn't even show up to the wedding?

    http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/4095816-und-president-no-show-first-big-moment Swing and a miss for Tom Miller, pinch-hitting for (masquerading poorly as) Rob Port. His faux indignation here is transparent, and Kennedy in no way deserves this level of ire. Chill out, Tom.

    Can (should) this thread be locked with instructions to see the newer one under UND/Other Sports?
  6. NoiseInsideMyHead
    I guess we won't be seeing you here...
  7. NoiseInsideMyHead
    Why the attitude? Nobody said "boo" when GCU played UND in baseball.

    I'm just tired of manufactured crises. Is it too much to ask for a dead hooker and a mountain of coke before we call for someone's head?

    Pepperjax would have made a fine addition. Hope they're still interested. Until then, Sioux Falls is only 4 hours away.

    Hey, at least they're trying. When life gives you a lemon, you make lemoney...err, lemonade. Still, had Roughriders won out, there could have been "Roughrider and put her away wet" shirts.

    Can't speak for folks heading east, but westbound drivers are just trying to vent the rancid Simplot vapor out of their cars.
  12. NoiseInsideMyHead
    Maybe all of the haters can finally get off UND's back now. Apparently this naming thing isn't as easy as everybody seems to think.

    I looked back several years and did not see a one-place-fits-all thread for driving, traffic, construction, etc., so have at it, boys and girls! Saw this at the Herald's website just now, http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/4092767-police-beefing-traffic-enforcement-gateway-drive There are only a couple of possibilities here: (1) people are scofflaws, or (2) the posted speed limits are too low. Don't know about you, but I vote (2). Gateway/Hwy 2 is, in addition to being a designated U.S. highway, a divided, limited access arterial road with smooth pavement, a level surface, wide shoulders, raised median, and good visibility. In other words, it's good for 45-50 mph, easy. I always understood that traffic data tending to show a disproportionate amount of speeding was used to evaluate speed limits and (gasp) sometimes even raise them to conform with reality. Yet, the GFPD's knee-jerk response here is to "beef up traffic enforcement on Gateway Drive." I'm shaking my head at this one. Revenue over common sense? Thoughts?

    Highway underpasses have doors now?
  15. NoiseInsideMyHead
    Living in denial, I see. To what end? To prove a point? To show that men's hockey has bigger pucks, err, balls? I'm starting to see real similarities between the Bernie Sanders crowd and the Sioux forever people. Stop fighting a foolish fight and join the team; the ongoing tantrums are an embarrassment.

    Not by choice. Kids are, by definition, not drawn to nostalgia. Anybody here ever tried introducing their children to the cultural icons (sports, film, music, TV, etc.) of the past? (And I mean the really, really good stuff that you SWEAR is so much better than today's crap.) It is NOT an easy sell. The only kids wearing this stuff in 10-20 years will be the descendants of hardcore faithful and neo-hipster-younglings trying to be ironic. Most kids, of course, will have zero appreciation for it, other than trying to make mom and dad happy. Before long, "Sioux" will be a memory...old fuzzy pictures on the walls and something the old folks like to talk about when hockey is on, but with little to no relevance to future generations. Basically, "Flickertails." Or the Brooklyn Dodgers. UND will continue to have its legion fans, but we should all hope that the new ones aren't artificially manufactured and brainwashed to believe that it's Sioux or nothing. Let them learn and love and learn to love UND on their own terms, and wear whatever they want.

    Karl's is closing. Not a huge surprise...Best Buy struggles in that sector, and they're the big dog. More retail vacancy along 32nd is both a concern and an opportunity. Natural Grocers has to carry it's own weight, for sure.
  18. NoiseInsideMyHead
    I think it will work something like this...
  19. NoiseInsideMyHead
    In fairness to those following along, I think you need to qualify that statement by telling us the extent to which, if any, this site relies on any form of official or credentialed content whatsoever. Even if the proprietor of the site were credentialed and desired to remain so, the forums -- where the "play-by-play" accounts appear -- could easily be split off as a separate 'outlet' and not jeopardize the owner's status.
  20. NoiseInsideMyHead
    But not his credential. He's still a member of the working media and will continue to be treated as such. As would Schlossman if the same thing happened here. Unlimited and unfettered access was a vestige of a prior era. Quaint, but totally unrealistic.
  21. NoiseInsideMyHead
    But you haven't identified a single byte, frame, or millisecond of exposure that UND stands to lose. All NDSU fans are 'losing' is that pre-game shows will be filmed off-site, a different voice might be asking questions at interviews, and that they may have to change their radio presets. Big deal. If the Forum has any journalistic integrity at all, they won't punish fans by cutting coverage over sour grapes with NDSU. After all, the Forum needs eyeballs, too.
  22. NoiseInsideMyHead
    But here's the rub...my premise is that, just like at NDSU, UND's games stay on TV (although I will continue to attend in person, as well). UND Athletics has a strong presence of Twitter, and I expect they will continue to adapt to whatever new media come down the road. I have no doubt that SiouxSports.com and USCHO.com -- who both operate completely free of UND influence -- will continue to exist. And so long as Schlossman stays employed at the Herald, I can count on him to continue providing the level of hockey journalism he always has. I don't need the Herald, though. As a non-subscriber, I only read the free online content or whatever physical copies get left sitting in various lobbies and waiting rooms. So if the Herald put everything behind a pay wall tomorrow, I would get over it immediately. So, basically, that's the full extent of the coverage and exposure of UND that I consume and/or need. What more do you need? What more does anyone need?
  23. NoiseInsideMyHead
    Didn't say it was a great idea. Only that it was inevitable, and not the end of the world (as some seem to think). So long as games stay on TV, I could care less what UND does or does not put in its contracts. I am not in the media and I have no loyalty to any of their broadcast partners. Heck, I still miss Pat Sweeney.

    Rest easy, Fargo...Grand Forks' Flying J is the new Detroit. http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/local/4085087-man-found-dead-sunday-near-flying-j-grand-forks

    There are only two kinds of schools: those who have sold their soul to the devil, and those chomping at the bit to. Up and down I-29, it's money that talks.
