  1. oh NO a cwabapple? I hope u OK?? Should have gone over and made some applesauce but WAIT...Tim Walz has your back! Go visit any school bathroom in Minnesota - from all I hear on FoxNews they have "people like you" covered!
  2. Not at Jamestown but understand you can't fly west from GF - only to MPLS. Devils Lake goes to Denver and the short stop is Jamestown but this flight has been VERY SUCCESSFUL for DL and Jamestown which was the ultimate goal of EAS! Lots of GF residents fly out of DL for this flight - just what is it was designed to do.
  3. Just FYI - Jamestown's main runway has been closed for 6 weeks for a reconstruction project from early May to mid June and commercial traffic is prohibited during this time so that probably explains some of it. There will need to be some....uhhh..."retraining" if Runnings plans to retain the current employees from the current Home of Lobotomy staff.
  4. SO it's the black people? Just step up and say it! You like to be called the "metro" - with "metro" comes mo' problems bro!
  5. Go check out Seoul Kitchen in the Grand Cities Mall (formerly Moe's Kitchen) - transformed it into a stylish Asian restaurant. Bit of a wait but the food was good and authentic. Staff very nice and attentive - the Gojuchang wings are super sticky and delicous. Great addition in a hidden location. The croffles are a good dessert but they need to give you a knife!
  6. On the UP side for the "Metro" - Spray Paint sales at Ace Hardware on University are THROUGH THE ROOF!!
  7. True! They love to identify as "The Metro" and the first half dozen stories on the local news are crime. No time for GF news (unless it's crime) - they got what they always wanted.
  8. Bennet Brien Fundraiser LIVE and Silent Auction Items Thursday May 23 - VFW Club, 312 DeMers Ave., East Grand Forks. 5-8pm Be there or be square - and just remember every time YOU insist on calling them "The SIOUX" - he was there for you! Don't show up for him? - then F*CK YOU!* (* - oh relax Francis I'm kidding!) Like the thread title says...go give a brother a hand up - that's the whole idea
  9. 9 days later and his supporters are still 2K away from making the original goal of 10K - it's only moved like $500 the last couple weeks - really? DISAPPOINTED in the "mighty SIOUX nation" but not surprised. When Al Pearson was going downhill I posted a similar link to friends of his daughter's GFM and it was met with yawns and minimal support despite everything Al did for UND....wtf? Sure we'll wear a funny mask at a game to "honor" him but at the end to of the day that didn't mean sh*t. A little cash for his daughter would have been better. I'll tell you - that was a really sad moment that made me realize "Sioux" fans only care about a NAME not the people who poured their heart and souls into it/or did it.
  10. HAVE THEY? There's a difference between being "rude" and giving people a kick in the ass to do something! I made a modest contribution and then thought to spread the word. He lived across the street from me in North GF for many years and was a great guy to hang around with. That was my motivation...what's yours? I'd guess patience (and probably NOT contributing?) But maybe you're one of the many that wear that logo on a jersey or shirt while beating your "SIOUX FOREVER" mantra - do you do that? Well then KICK IN some money for the artist that designed it! This isn't about the nickname - it's about the artist that designed an incredibly noble and proud representation of that logo in a time when any representation was in question. Bennet supplied his version and for that we ALL should be grateful...and willing to pay it forward in his time of need.
  11. Lots of views - lots of cheapskates apparently! The fund is legit and he's only looking for 10k. Where are all the strident SIOUX FOREVER fans? This guy gave you something of worth - conjured from his own creative talents of creativity and an artists talent. It was THE LOGO in college hockey for it's run! No gratitude for that?
  12. Your talents have always been appreciated - stay strong. You can beat this! https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-ben-brien
  13. your weak reply to...."You should probably unfollow" Pay attention SiouxKID this is for you...HELLO It's a total FAKE facebook - don't just unfollow -it's a fake!! Here's how you can help...WARN PEOPLE AWAY! It's ALL ABOUT taking some action - REPORT THEM!! Old people fall for this !@#$...think about your grandparents. You don't have to lift a finger to help yourself (or others from your generation) But don't act like it's a "bother" just because...I'll leave it at that.
  14. Well done Sherlock Holmes! They aren't "Fans" - what part of incomprehensible east indian and foreign names tipped you off? What was YOUR first clue? Just because the names were indian? No wonder people get ripped off on Facebook young and old - again let the buyer beware - you fall for this crap it's your own fault!
  15. It's really about elderly abuse! No one under 30 is still on facebook LOL! Let the buyer beware...
  16. Not rocket science...Sioux Falls is a giant (largely) untapped media market. Imagine if Fargo didn't have NDSU and Bismarck and GF had the "big" colleges in the state. How much could they pull out of Fargo for ad $$? Answer: NOT ENOUGH! UND Hockey is Midco's cash cow for ad revenue. Highest rates and highest demand. FB and other sports at all schools don't even come close. Midco realizes the future of actually making money off local sports depends on cultivating Augie into a D1 Hockey school to sell the SF Market and that means bringing the entire CCHA league into the mix just to secure Augie as the anchor. FloSports was an epic disaster. I subscribed for a UND game at Bemidji and I would have rather had my grandma streaming the game on her phone from the cheap seats. It was hideous. Midco just wants to be able to OFFER the games to Sioux Falls businesses. By firing all their talent it means they don't care about the end product. It only means they will be able to sell it on a short term basis. If it's more than 2 cameras and a hack announcer it will be better that what they had. The cautionary note is UND's production level will suffer on many levels from the cuts as they bring up 1 program from nothing and bring down their premiere program to save them some money.
  17. 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!
  18. 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....
  19. 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?
  20. YES! It's called preparation, coaching and BUYING INTO those 2 things. Winner Winner 10 TIME CHICKEN DINNER for Denver...denver? YES DENVER!!!
  21. So wrong...so wrong - BOOK IT!
  22. 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!
  23. 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...
  24. 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?
  25. mind your own business! This thread is about Where to Eat in GF - get back on topic.
