  1. HELL yeah! Wife and I went there last wednesday...the decor is minimalist and weak - concrete floors, simple booths and a micro-font menu nailed 10 feet overhead but the sandwich? AWESOME! Simple Chicken Junction with onions and mushrooms. I snarfed a footlong and wanted to take one to go but they were busy - REAL busy with college people and a mix of older locals. Bottom line the food was GREAT! Spread the word and go there - this is the opposite of SweetoBurrito - the food is actually GOOD!
  2. WOW! ndsu got beat by a team that lost to CalPoly! wow....I guess that montana game WAS their superbowl
  3. Absolutely true! The heraldo actually had a picture of a bunch of LARP'ers staging a medieval battle in the park tagged as "rally supporters" before somebody pointed it out to them. (Okay it was me!) It was easy to mistake a group that actually had people SHOW UP than wonder why 6 people were lingering under a tent in attendance for a major "show of support"! This rally was a joke and a complete waste of time and money for the idiots that contributed...now Kelley has MORE AMMO to say the "North Dakota" crowd has no real support. I say GOOD!
  4. If Squeeky Fromme has ANY balls he'll say..."No - I appointed a nickname committee and they delivered - NO nd option and the vote for the current nickname finalists will stand." He's leaving - if he can't make a final stand for an unpopular point while LEAVING - he never was a leader in the first place!
  5. I have a great story about Rastislav "SPARKY" Spirko...when UND was heading to the Frozen Four back in his day he did an interview with a TV station. The reporter asked the usual question about how excited the team was to be going to be NC and how hard they'd have to work. Sparky replied (on videotape) "We're going to skate our balls off!" A nearby teammate immediately started snickering....obviously this was something he heard in the locker room and wasn't mean't for public consumption but THERE IT WAS on the miracle of videotape! Hilarious! It never made the air but did make the rounds behinds the scenes at TV stations...HEY media people need to laugh too!:-)
  6. Oh yes I forgot you guys are "the METRO" when it comes to local TV coverage Thanks for making Williston look like ND's newest crime-free vacation paradise though - it's about time the eastern ND took one for west! PS - I recently went to a weird part of West Fargo that is far west and north. It had a rust covered agricutural plant and a rusty crappy watertower that says "Riverside" (or something like that) and trailers and run down businesses in total urban decay...do you claim that eyesore at part of Mighty Metro Fargo??? IF so - you can have it.....uugghhh!
  7. Travis was a totally down to earth guy but such a KEY part of the HEART and SOUL of that 2001 Defensive corps that led UND to the NC. He and Eric Schmidt were TOTAL ANIMALS on that Bubba-led defense! I was there and had the privilege of seeing ALL it all - from game 1 to Bubba hugging him in congratulations on the field in Florence right in front of me while my camera rolled... RIP Travis Thanks for the memories! I remember them all.
  8. Congrats FARGO! You're finally living up to your TV show namesake FARGO that you're so PROUD of! (See season 2 teaser of a woodpecker on a tree with gunfire in the background....THAT'S DEEP MAN!!!:-) i.e. a place with ANTI-SOCIAL Weirdoes that commit crimes willy nilly while your local hicks solve them....OH! Sorry...i guess we'll wait to see if they've been solved. Meanwhile you have a CostCo....HOORAYY!!??
  9. my "SNAP" moment came about a month ago when a GF fishwrap reporterette....I'll call her A.B. put out a call for "FIGHTING SIOUX FANS SHOW YOUR PRIDE!" - essentially a "send in your pics" and tell us your story of why you're so "proud" of the old name. Talk about ripping a bandaid off an old wound - JUST to sell papers and irritate people while the new nickname search is going on. I was furious! I sent an email calling her on it - sincerely asking how this crap was really a "journalistic" endeavor? No reply (shocker) but the actual article was pretty lame and went nowhere afterwards...SOMEONE had a slightly guilty conscience of putting out this slop instead of being a real professional journalist and digging into all sides. I'm hoping you're reading this A.B....you're better than that!!
  10. Tanner Franklin is a self entitled !@#!$! who thinks because he "didn't have the time" to meet University officials on their schedule - NOW he can bitch about how "unresponsive" they are when he's on his way out as SB Prez...Don't know what his major is but GOOD LUCK finding a job when you graduate with a history of "I'll only BITCH if things are bad when I'm ON THE OUTS!" Might want to hang onto that job at Eagles Crest dude! Hopitality isn't the WORST job in the world...or is it?:-)
  11. Keep enabling GFHockey - that's great! There's a 12 step program he might like but thats not my business and overalll I AGREE if UND keeps Hak they should have F4 Participation banners hanging in the Ralph!! Thats all we're going to get so lets make the best of his "reign" as coach!
  12. I didn't feel bad BU-Cinerella didn't win their fairy tale dream...so few do PLUS yes O'connor IS THE Bill Buckner of College Hockey forever.....sorry
  13. Or maybe we should start hanging FF "participation" banners in the rafters at the Ralph - that could be Haks contribution to the legacy! He's have 7 just like our NC banners:-( bull$%!#! He's a nice guy - a former player, a good coach, and a loyal steward to the program but not a GREAT coach. That's the problem! UND has the FERRARI of facilities in the nation. There are a lot of "good" coaches who could also take the keys to that Ferrari and see what they could do with that racecar! Hak seems to always be "minding the speed limit" on some level...for him - that's emotion. Watch him on the bench....you can't tell if he's coaching a hockey game or having his car washed. (and no "Flipping the bird" one time doesn't count:-) It used to be a FF matchup made me so nervous I was like a cat before the game....pacing the floor and totally nervous. Thursday - for the first time ever as a UND fan - I was totally relaxed - because I expected them to LOSE. If they won, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT! I would have been dancing around like a maniac in anticipation of the NC game and totally on board to see how that game played out but then I realized.... FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER in a national tournament....I EXPECTED THEM TO LOSE! THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE! as true UND hockey fan and, for me, that's why Hak has to go. You had a good run - we need to move on.
  14. HAS to be gender neutral idiot! (Haven't you learned ANYTHING from this process???) PLAINSPERSONS yeah...that's nice
  15. Oh boy....its 2015 DUDE! There's been very LITTLE bitching about Hammer this (3rd) season since he's been the voice of UND Hockey - except from you! Love Hammer or hate him - he is it. and YEAH we know where you stand:-( FYI - Sweeney is currently reporting on ice cream socials and other fund raising fun for the University. He is OUT of sports now and forever...no one cares about him anymore. Give it up!
  16. Did it make ESPN? I hope so....just so those gameday f*cks can troll around to some other school to find a new weird niche-home to set up their carnival freak show....watch how fast they lose interest in you now that you've lost....magical BiSOOOO(what happened?) Nation? f*ck you - and I'll say that quietly so i don't wake up Corso. (but still F*CK you - for personal reasons:-))
  17. really? You realize the deal is with fsn's ALTERNATE/PLUS channel and they will be carrying the local UND student produced productions as a filler because they need content right? You ARE THE EXPERT i thought? WHAT A F*CKING IDIOT!
  18. We gave Casa Mexico over on the East Side another shot a couple months ago and they've REALLY straightened up their act after a bad opening! Much more authentic Mexican than Paradiso or MexVillage - try the Rodeo Fajitas with spicy guaq and get ready for an awesome lunch the next day because there is MORE than enough to take home! Best authentic Mex in GGF since the Border Patrol shut down Mi Mexico a couple years ago. Near East Side Hugos but half a block off 220 North - weird location but worth a look.

    Maybe the MoValley is going 9 man???
  20. ERNIE SUNK THE SHIP! And just like that Italian weasel that tipped his cruise ship on the side Mr. Trembles found an escape route first thing after he announced he was steering WDAZ onto WDAY island...he didn't care. He never did. I blame the gm because I know what a spineless, self involved a**hole he really is....and I can prove it
  21. SweetoBurrito opens Monday according to the herald but they must have doing a run-through tonight. Lights on - cars there and going through the drive through. This is going to be a cool place - their menu looks amazing! Watch out Red Pepper - there's a new kid in town http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7TVh7clM50
  22. tired of the "moral victories" arguement - there is no victory unless you actually win. What was encouraging was UND was playing hard right up until the end of the game and there was no point where the bobcats could relax. They came up short but went down swinging when Mussmans primadonnas would have been pouting and whining about whatever. This is a blue collar crew without all the tools they need but they're learning the right way - keep WORKING and good things will happen. How great would that be to suprise Montana next week at the AL with that ethic. SHOW UP FANS! This team IS showing up to go to work...
  23. absolutely ridiculous but because Kelley is going GW Bush on our ass as "the decider" - lets go with PIPSQUEEKS! unless that would offend either PIPS or SQEEKS....we have to be VERY CAREFUL with this "process" I know
