  1. BUSINESS SUIT for a building maybe? Seriously do you have to complain about everything all the time? A certain town to our south would acts like everything they do is a gift from god. People here just complain about EVERY little thing! That complex will be AMAZING! Embrace it and stop bitching about the details - look at the big picture for a change - please!
  2. then I remembered Hornbachers was the "OFFICIAL GROCER OF UND ATHLETICS" for a couple years when they had a store here for 10 minutes. Hugo's was a loyal LOCAL sponsor for years and years and has been here for a bajillion! They finally got that handle back but that was an embarrassing deal for UND athletics to say the least. Now they're going "all in" with Sanford - almost literally in the shadow of Altru's new hospital? hhmmmm....
  3. and IN YOUR FACE Altru - interesting - competition is never bad but this all but seals the deal Sanford is moving into GF in a big big way! Announcement of a new hospital coming soon?;-)? WHILE Altru has their new hospital going up? Ballsy at the very least but UND seems to be taking advantage of the $$$ - who could blame them?
  4. YES! It's called preparation, coaching and BUYING INTO those 2 things. Winner Winner 10 TIME CHICKEN DINNER for Denver...denver? YES DENVER!!!
  5. So wrong...so wrong - BOOK IT!
  6. d Wow a MEME? You really know how to put me in my place;-) I'm serious - think about it? Since 2000 - UND has won 1 Natty...ONE...despite having the greatest college hockey facility under the sun (true!) It was built so we could attract the greatest athletes to our storied program (true) We have had the finest UND pedigree coaches working - they just haven't been able to close the deal - why is that? Why doesn't anyone have the balls to ask? I guess you can just go and find another funny meme and plan to lose again next year. You seem to be used to it now. Look at the players Hak had? Toews, Oshie, Duncan et al and couldn't win ONCE in his tenure at UND? WHY? What was missing? Seems like he freaked out the team when they got to the FF - 4 Straight and no wins? Wished him well when he moved on to NHL and I still root for him there but for "whatever reason" he couldn't get it done. Seriously ask yourself why? MOVE FORWARD - Berry comes in and wins in his first year with Hak's recruits - beginners luck? Maybe BUT GREAT! We got one and it was nice. After that...? Another SLEW of TOP SHELF recruits that could never close the deal! Yes Covid f*cked us and all that but again - Berry is going on a decade since with nothing but great excitement with the teams he's cobbled and total disappointment in the post season. At least Hak got us to the FF where we got another week or two of optimism before our hopes were quashed like a stale Pall-Mall. All of this still begs the question - WHY? It's not the athletes - they show up. It's not the facility. There is nothing even close anywhere else in college hockey. So what is it? It's easy to blame the coaching staff but these are UND GUYS 100% - okay - I'm not blaming them. They're doing their job (within limits) so what else could it possibly be??? I think I know but I'll throw it out there to you guys? What do you think it is? Memes are alright for simpletons to reply but this is a serious question? Otherwise just keep banging your heads against the wall and it may take UND another 20 years to win a Natty? To me - that is unacceptable!
  7. agree Carle is a great coaching option! Here's what UND would have to do - maybe dump the endless UND Alum-coaching parade for a breath of fresh air and NOT just promote slaves to the fighting sioux nickname anchor that is killing this program? These kids come in playing for the college they signed up for but 90% of the fans pretend they're still playing for another team and a nickname that has been retired. GET OVER IT! There's an identity crisis that is strangling UND hockey right now and it has to stop. Hey fat old UND fans in the stands who still barely fit into your Sioux jerseys sitting like you just sh*t your pants watching your team blow another opportunity...want to get back to WINNING? THINK OF THE FUTURE! The SIoux name will always have a great place in HISTORY - but it is HISTORY. This program won't achieve their former greatness until they FREE themselves from the past and move FORWARD! Forget the past and embrace the future - it's the ONLY way UND hockey can reclaim their championship glory! Just my 2 cents...
  8. and you too! Mind your own business. Another screechy little girl (also a cat owner from what i understand) put up a GoFundMe to buy out a local college coach. How did that turn out?
  9. mind your own business! This thread is about Where to Eat in GF - get back on topic.
  10. I'll give you that - been there - agree!
  11. Don't blame the barista! You're already stupid enough to pay $7 for a cup of coffee with a little cream in it - who's the real tool?* * - HINT - it's you!
  12. Pete's Za has MANY underrated pies... The Calypso - Jerk sauce is just the start -crazy delicious chicken and pineapple! Bought the Farm - YEAH YOU DID! excellent deluxe style meat pie Dirty Bird - another different but tasty chicken pizza Also don't miss the Gojuchang Wings - insanely tasty but not overly spicy Korean wing sauce. Pete's is the most underrated pizza joint in GF!!! Hands down!
  13. It would be a mercy killing FOR SURE! Since the old WCHA Final 5 went away this tournament has NEVER been anything near what it used to be. Went to the first couple NCHC tourneys at the Target Center and realized right away - THIS SUCKS and never went back and THAT SUCKS because this tournament used to be the BEST EVER! For the following reasons... --It was a HOCKEY EVENT! Every team would bring all the fans they could and the venue would be packed or close to it. Greatest college hockey post season environment ever! Even beat out the FF most years. --Michigan Tech Band would show up and play their ASSES OFF around the arena although their team almost never made it. Priceless! --The X would be PACKED and CRAZY for rivalry games - Wisco cheeseheads - GOOF Fans - et al. Screaming and insanity in the aisles. The goal was to be obnoxious and give as good as you'd get! So would our fans! Now it's a tepid environment at best...an environment that doesn't seem to inspire our team at all. It's time to move on to a new thing I'd say. Bring home sites on!
  14. He's right where he belongs...on minimum wage radio where all he can do is bitch bitch bitch...PLUS! He was so eager to escape the HIGH TAX RATES on living in GF - the town he complains about all time - he made the brilliant decision to buy a "cheap" house in Thompson that he later found out was zoned "Commercial" Nice job genius! BRILLIANT!
  15. uncomfortable senior sex reference - tuck those wings Sic
  16. Already BEEN called away to CBS Sports - he only worked UND games as his national schedule allowed. Can't blame him. Taking his shot at the "big time" - good for him! Jody Norstead filled in - did a decent job and is also a good guy - alum of WDAZ - he deserves his time imo
  17. This SOCKS! I mean sucks - but what about the SOCKS? Hockey Fashionistas are sad tonight... Thanks Jake for your service! Especially adding "Holy Buckets" to UND's Hockey Lexicon...we won't forget that Roseau accent anytime soon.
  18. they talk about soccer...so cool!
  19. well look on the bright side - there's going to be a NEW MCDONALD'S and a new STARBUCKS going up around 40th Ave. S!!!!* * - (sarcasm alert) - I'd upgrade that to WTF?? Now Crooked Pint, Famous Dave's and now Vinyl Taco have all folded in that area. Jersey Mikes has decent sandwiches but don't look at the kitchen floor if you go in. Pretty soon the Canadians are just going to say f-it and go straight on to Fargo if they haven't already.
  20. I'd prefer more banks and empty strip malls! Or existing businesses just moving farther south and abandoning existing strip mall locations leaving....wait for it....MORE EMPTY strip malls.
  21. HHmmm...looks like each of these "official" or unofficial logos has been slightly altered so you can 3d print out some cheap illegal merch for your own personal profit. "Sammy Sioux" is flat out a racist logo you a-hole. Just stop it. The Brien logo - actually a real work of art - has also been altered to look "slightly pissed" so you fucked with that too. The geometric logo has been rounded so it looks a "little different". The Blackhawk logo I could care less because that's a Chicago logo - NOT UND and I don't even know wtf that last one is but ALSO not UND. BTW - They're the UND Fighting Hawks now - like it or not. People who keep grasping on to the old nickname are frankly sad, old and pathetic - time has moved on and no one wants your crappy cheap "vulcanized rubber" garbage "creations" PS - Yeah I'll report the copyright infringement if I have to.
  22. the PLANT is in! - lol - way to go ndsu! You robbed us good! Known Jake since he was at Central. Nice kid - good athlete - dumb as a box of rocks even in college. Maybe he's grown into a football genuis but I kind of doubt it. Not a huge loss as far as UND's future is concerned. Best of luck to the cow college with him - he's dead to me. NEXT!
  23. I ran into this and thought oh crap - what amazing "normal-altitude" training do they have??? Totally fell for it and laughed like hell! Well done DU Fans - well done!
  24. It has been mentioned at least a couple of times on recent threads (including a couple of posts ago on this thread) that someone bought all of the mugs that had been left and sold them on Ebay. So YES we're dredging up a lot of old memories here but I actually sold a load of old Frenchy's mugs on Ebay! I found them in an old antique shop on the east side on Central avenue. 2 old people that bought them by the box for who knows how much and were selling them for $2 each. I bought probably 100 of them and sold them for about $10-20 each on Ebay - so Frenchy didn't exactly lose out on a million dollars but I made a few bucks. (I also have one of his nickel beer (6 oz) glasses that is priceless - I'll never sell that!) Best memory was a lady that bought one and asked if I had her mug with her sig on it - just so happened I DID! It blew her mind and I've never had a more satisfied customer in my life.s FYI for you oldsters! - I also have a bunch of the old original songbooks from the Piano Bar at the Westward HO along with the ORIGINAL Fishbowl recipes I bought at their auction - pm me if you're interested! (I did pretty good with those on Ebay too!) I'll give you a good deal!
