Honestly, you’re the same poster as bison73 if ‘73 lost a few hundred pounds.

OneOK is expanding their Bear Creek gas plant in Dunn County to the tune of over $400 million. https://www.willistonherald.com/news/oil_and_energy/oneok-announces-another-gas-plant-expansion/article_3e0a6cbc-af21-11e9-95e4-d7efade2f4ca.html

Almost a half a year old, but here’s where another outlet picked up Mayor Brown’s boast. https://www.constructiondive.com/news/north-dakota-city-poised-for-billion-dollar-boom/548573/

Here’s a listing of commercial building permits either done, approved, or applied for. https://www.gfgis.com/developmentprojects/ Dakota Lithium is building a factory on N 39th north of Gateway, like was suggested last year. https://www.grandforksherald.com/news/4514811-battery-maker-plans-factory-grand-forks Converting sugar beet and other organic waste to ethanol will be located nearby with the Red River Refinery.

Last year the A’s had Treinen as their closer with under a 1.00 ERA, but now his wrist has been injured and his ERA is almost up to 5.0. Hendricks has taken over the closer role and has near a 1.00 ERA, except today. Treinen was a major contributor to the A’s run in the second half of last years, but Hendricks’ relief has been a major reason that the A’s have made major gains in the least month.

Denbury Resources uses CO2 in a field near Bowman (the CO2 comes from a nat gas field in Wyoming where it is separated). It had a lot of accolades for trying from Green investors, as it shifted from fracking to CO2 recovery, and its stock has dropped from $17 to $1.10 in five years. CO2 recovery may sound great, but it depends on geology to work, which is far from certain. https://www.denbury.com/investor-relations/press-releases/press-release-details/2018/Denbury-Resources-Sanctions-Cedar-Creek-Anticline-CO2-EOR-Development/default.aspx Here is an article from Motley Fool extolling Denbury earlier this decade. If anyone followed their advice, lost almost 95% of the investment. Motley Fool is usually very good, but energy is notoriously hard to time. https://www.fool.com/investing/general/2012/08/24/denbury-resources-enhanced-oil-recovery-champions.aspx

You mean a 15k one, as that’s all FBS requires.

Chaves knowa the athletic dorm gives away the intent, so he says the plans were intended to be behind curtains. Mostly only big time P5 programs have exclusive athletic dorms. https://hailfloridahail.com/2019/06/16/florida-athletics-university-plans-overhaul-athletics-dorms/ https://www.kansascity.com/sports/college/big-12/university-of-kansas/article104426576.html Not aware that any FCS program has one.

The next four are against Oakland, who has won like 15 of the last 17 and homered in their last 17 games. Last year, the A’s tore up competition in the 2nd half after being a mediocre 1st half team

This shows the extent even DIII schools will go to prevent being an independent to have a shot at an autobid.. The teams in the conference are: Mills College (Oakland) UC Sant Cruz Banana Slugs Finlandia MI Mount Mary WI SUNY Delhi Pratt Institute NY Pine Manor MA https://www.santacruzsentinel.com/2019/07/16/uc-santa-cruz-athletics-joins-acaa-conference-for-2019-2020-season/ The conference play will only be with the tournament at the end.

Imagine that the proposed upgrades scream DII to you and bison trolls.

That screams FBS to me. An athletic dorm close to nearly all practice and workout facilities?

The Crookston Sports Center only has seating for 1200. Don’t know if it can be expanded. http://www.crookstonsportscenter.com/ A rink of 3000 is generally thought of as being at breakeven at DI. Maybe UMC is going DIII to replace St Thomas or going to Minn-Morris’s league with hockey in the MIAC? Minn-Crookston hasn’t done anything competing at the DII level. Morris went down too, and think they were a better performing school. The MIAC needs a sixth hockey team after expelling UST.

Adding DI hockey would raise the awareness even in Minnesota that UMC exists. The UM system knows they have an enrollment problem right now and hockey would help. Don’t think the NSIC would allow it, but dropping football could provide enough funding for DI hockey. The state of Minnesota paid for the new rink and the state hasn’t seen a return on its investment yet, like Bemidji has.

Lake Superior St only has 3000 +, but it doesn’t have football. UM Crookston must be getting favors from the UM system to afford it, as they will probably have to add WIH too.

DII and Di’s are no longer allowed to play DIII. DI Dayton used to win the DIII nat championships in football, but DIII put a stop to it.

If it happens, UMC should schedule on opposite weekends that UND does. Imagine that Grand Forks and surrounding areas could provide a good number of spectators to see former WCHA teams. UND home weekends would probably result in very low attendance.

That’s bison73 for you.

In your tiny mind, NDSU is switching with Augie so you can maul the DII’s and the NSIC, so you can always win which would prevent future temper tantrums in Fargo and keep down numbers in St John’s.

Guess that takes NDSU and the Alaska’s out of the equation.

https://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/07/14/cusa-athletic-directors-have-reportedly-discussed-trading-schools-with-other-leagues/ CUSA AD’s have been in talks to swap teams with other leagues. 14 member means they get short suited by the CFP, which only gives a maximum of 10 shares to G5 leagues. The eastern seaboard schools like Charlotte, ODU and even Marshall want to ditch the Texas schools and vice versa. Too much travel and too few natural rivals. The SunBelt and CUSA should do go to a straight east/west alignment both with 12 teams because CUSA is no longer a power G5 conference like when it had most of the AAC.

Know it’s not food normally associated with sports, but anyone have an opinion of Ely’s Ivy in the old Sanders building? https://www.grandforksherald.com/incoming/3830193-Grand-Forks-restaurant-offers-revolving-menu-with-local-ingredients

UC-Davis becomes USC’s first ever FCS opponent. https://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/07/12/usc-schedules-first-ever-fcs-foe-leaves-notre-dame-ucla-as-only-fbs-teams-that-havent/ By 2025, UC-Davis will become a stable of USC when their FBS.

The hallowed halls of eGriz finally seems to realize that their facility improvement can only mean FBS in the future. https://egriz.com/grizboard/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=82835&sid=149985d3967fb0a6d8784576857524a5&start=20 The next NCAA meeting will be early next year. After that could be the time to move to the G5.
