Interesting - his choice? Randall Herbst - former assistant under Rich Glass who took a head coaching job away from UND and came back under Sather all these years later as an assistant. Didn't seem to do much for the team - I wish him well.

A la carte sides are the killer! I'll gladly pay $50 for a good steak but throw in some hashbrowns and a house veggie with it at least. I don't want to pay $20 extra for a pie plate of hashbrowns - yeah you get a lot and can take them home but ever microwave JUST hashbrowns the day after? No one does that except maybe Siouxfan97!;-) I kid I kid...

"A Taste of Philly" sign is up at the old location of Grand Junction in the strip mall on 42nd across from the Alerus. They have a location in Fargo on 13th. No indication when they'll open. Ate at the one in Fargo and it was decent - real Philly's with the Wiz and more. Side note: miss Grand Junction's fresh grill. Their food truck was up last week in the Columbia Mall "Memories of Lebanon" parking lot and it was OK but not the same. Hopefully Taste of Philly will do better!

Went back to the 80's - LONG GONE but it was a lifesaver for guys that lived in the dorms. Stumbled down the stairs from Walsh Hall many times to get a frozen pizza or other nosh after a long night at the bars. Only C-store on campus so it ruled. RIP Valley Dairy! They sold all their stores (and soul) to Petroserve of Fargo a couple years ago. Not the same - their stores are jammed with crap and filthy. Worked graveyards at the Stanford Road VD going through college - it was a great job and I took pride working for a princely $6.85 an hour on the night shift. No benefits other than the occasional expiring microwave burrito at a five finger discount or roller dog that had been turning for 8 hours at the end of the night...chewy as I remember.

It's just disappointing a hometown GF player who decided to play for the hometown college decided she was apparently destined for a "better place" - that happens to be 70 miles south and is not a better team by any means. Have fun making it all about yourself down there Jossy - you'll find that doesn't work so well either with Jory. #MADEyourBED #deadtome

Have to get American Crystal to contribute more than a giant stink to the greater GF area! It would bring a great strip club vibe to the Ralph though - maybe girls would show their...student tickets to get a free box of popcorn? I don't know where I'm going with this.

My brother-in-law and his wife are at that game tonight - 1st hockey game ever! They went on a lark.

Columbia was a two lane clusterfuck when it was originally built and they quickly realized it needed to be 4 lanes but tried to save money converting it. Decades later it's pulling and falling apart and has been for several years. They literally need to lift the bridge deck and rebuild it. If you're Catholic, cross yourself everytime you go over it until they shut it down. It's a mini I-35 in waiting - the inconvenience of having it shut down for 3 months will be worth it. A pain in the ass but worth it. PS - Hard to believe the Mensa Roundtable at Jusys couldn't figure it out. I live to serve.

I wish Dan Hammer was still around so we could celebrate the "Traditional Circle of Sticks" after a sweep!! He did that ONE TIME when he had a brain fart after calling a game - not easy btw - yet he got crap for that for YEARS and never lived it down in many UND fans minds - now he's selling hot tubs...coincidence? I think not. It was that phrase that got him in HOT WATER to start with! (see what I did there;-) Every announcer tries to get a catchphrase going or f*cks up something during a live game and often it LIVES FOREVER in fans minds. Here's a fun game to try if you think a PxP job is easy. Record a game, mute the sound and call the game yourself. You don't have to know all the players names...just try to call the action in real time and see if you might make a mistake or two. Or say something stupid that lives forever because it was live. Easy to sit in the Lazy Boy and judge! Alex is a total professional but not perfect - no one is - but I'll take him any day to broadcast our games. We're lucky to have him. Not sure bringing back constipated Scanlan did us any favors.

Yeah I remember the epic production qualities of your Spud HIGH SCHOOL broadcasts - unbelievable!! and CONCORDIA??? wow you did walk the walk! AND Iowa Hawkeyes TOO??? BOTH men AND women??? No further questions your honor! wow - thanks for bringing an amazing resume of broadcast credentials OVER 30 YEARS to criticize UND's production quality!! Impressive....not

SERIOUSLY! Just for 3 seconds....SHUT UP COLBY!! Oh oh Bucci.....am I doing okay Bucci?? PLEASE!!! tell me I'm doing okay BUCCI....how about that BUCCI????? he's like a little parrot looking for a cracker - STFU

I think he will be a breath of fresh air and sensibility for UND - you don't need to go to the ends of the earth to find players - you need players who can play together. Not the nuttiest concept in the world!

Wondered what happened to him? Real POS and hated UND was willing to give him a 2nd "chance". I can only hope the KHL said... "YES YES Comrade we will give you marginal pro contract! just lick this tootsie pop we pissed on and you will have REAL pro hockey career guaranteed!" HAHA! Karma is a bitch but not a bad thing in this case

You missed the better point...$2 for 6 Months Subscription? I'd rather get my opinion pieces from the local Shopper at Hugo's - more credibility!

Words 3 and 4 are "believe" and "fighting" - count much? Now who's the idiot?
