jimdahl Posted July 30, 2003 Posted July 30, 2003 For those who don't know, this is a printed publication that will be put out by REA/UND starting this Summer covering Sioux athletics. Subscriptions will cost $15/year for 6 issues. The initial marketing plan was to send an initial free copy to everyone who gets the Alumni Newsletter (which I assume still holds). My understanding is that it's going to be a bit more "behind the scenes", human interest, etc... instead of just news, and that each issue will focus primarily on a different sport. I wasn't aware of this before today, but the web site seems to indicate that the web content will be accessible only to paid print subscribers. I guess the reality of college sports today is that you have to take advantage of each revenue opportunity. Regardless, it's great to see more high quality information published on the Sioux. Quote
GDM Posted July 31, 2003 Posted July 31, 2003 The following is the UND Athletics / Ralph Engelstad Arena press release: NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release July 30, 2003 SIOUX ILLUSTRATED UNVEILED GRAND FORKS, ND. Quote
dagies Posted July 31, 2003 Posted July 31, 2003 Article in the Herald today http://www.grandforks.com/mld/grandforkshe...ald/6423382.htm I wonder if they will have a swimsuit issue? Quote
sprig Posted July 31, 2003 Posted July 31, 2003 Looks like we'll soon be getting the free first issue. Looks like it may be worth a subscription. Anyone get one yet? Quote
puck Posted July 31, 2003 Posted July 31, 2003 According to the news release and interviews on WDAZ, there will be a swimsuit issue (featuring the UND swimming and diving teams). Quote
11~ZachAttack~11 Posted August 4, 2003 Posted August 4, 2003 I just got my first issue. It looks like it's gonna be a great magazine when all of the seasons start (esp. hockey! ). I'm really looking forward to future issues. Quote
Goon Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 I am surprised the misfits/retards over at http://www.UND-fraud.com haven't chimed in and talked about how evil this magazine is. I am sure Flicker Tail will not disappoint us. Quote
MinnesotaNorthStar Posted August 6, 2003 Posted August 6, 2003 I just got my first issue. It looks like it's gonna be a great magazine when all of the seasons start (esp. hockey! ). I'm really looking forward to future issues. anyone else get them? I went home yestereday so if it came...my roomates prolly threw it away (jackasses). If not, I'll be interested to see when it comes. Hockey season is two months away. Quote
dagies Posted August 6, 2003 Posted August 6, 2003 Got my issue yesterday. I must say I was pretty impressed. Quote
11~ZachAttack~11 Posted August 6, 2003 Posted August 6, 2003 anyone else get them? Mine came on Monday and I don't live in Grand Forks. Quote
#1GreeneFan Posted August 6, 2003 Posted August 6, 2003 I got mine yesterday. 59 Days until hockey season starts Quote
sprig Posted August 7, 2003 Posted August 7, 2003 Starting to feel like a lost alumnus. No surprise. Quote
Goon Posted August 7, 2003 Posted August 7, 2003 Starting to feel like a lost alumnus. No surprise. Hey Spring, I didn't get mine either. Anyone have the number to the office I can call to get mine. Quote
jimdahl Posted August 7, 2003 Posted August 7, 2003 I don't know how the alumni office handles the Alumni News, but quite often when a relatively small office mails 90,000 large periodicals, they don't send them all in one day. Further, mail transit times can vary dramatically for periodical class materials. I wouldn't start worrying just yet. Quote
Fedorov Posted August 7, 2003 Posted August 7, 2003 I received the Alumni News today, but have not seen the magazine. Quote
dagies Posted August 7, 2003 Posted August 7, 2003 Starting to feel like a lost alumnus. No surprise. Sprig, it probably takes the Pony Express a bit of time to get out to your neck of the woods (or non-woods). Quote
Bacardio Posted August 7, 2003 Posted August 7, 2003 Got mine on 8/5. But have not had time to read it yet. other then the article on Jason Blake. My Dad who lives in Sioux Falls, and is an Sioux Hockey alum has not received his yet, so don't feel so bad dagies. Quote
sprig Posted August 7, 2003 Posted August 7, 2003 Sprig, it probably takes the Pony Express a bit of time to get out to your neck of the woods (or non-woods). Believe the horses all have West Nile, or is it monkeypox Quote
DamStrait Posted August 7, 2003 Posted August 7, 2003 Haven't received mine yet either. Maybe it's because I've already subscribed, sight unseen, so they think I'm easy to please (or hard to piss off). Quote
tboneund Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 My boss got one and didn't want it so he gave it to me...I read it cover to cover then sent in my subscription, it's a great magazine. I can't wait until the Oct. Hockey issue and Feb. swimsuit issue. Quote
jimdahl Posted August 13, 2003 Posted August 13, 2003 Mine came today (Wed Aug 13). I was starting to think I was blacklisted Quote
sprig Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 The pony arrived today in northwestern ND also. Quote
sioux fan in phoenix Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 My father also received his today (08/13) & he told me he wasn't even expecting one. Said that a couple of the women hockey players were lookers. Is this true? Quote
