dlsiouxfan Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 I was a little confused by the article initially. I wasn't sure if they were discussing actual livestock or NDSU co-eds. Quote
homer Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 How do they keep increasing thier cheerleading budget? Quote
GeauxSioux Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 Welcome to UND and SiouxSports. You made a wise choice. Additionally, thank you for your service to your country. Quote
sioux7>5 Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 This blog made me chuckle. I hope you don't mind me posting. This is my first post on Sioux Sports. I am a Bison alumni but have enrolled for my masters at UND starting this fall. I researched advanced degrees in Finance from Wisconsin to Oregon and almost every college in between. UND has it all over the others --- hands down. After graduating from NDSU I joined the Army and served with the 101st Airborne and did a tour of duty in Iraq and another in Afghanistan. (There are three things that come from the sky: moisture, bird manure and fools!) Anyway, during my tour of Afghanistan I got acquainted with a number of pilots who where UND alumni. Without question they are among the best in the world; if not the very best. It will be an honor to be a part of the same campus that these courageous people attended. Geez, I can't believe I'm saying this but ----- "Go Sioux!!!" Thank you for your service!!!! Go Sioux! Quote
ticklethetwine Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 Welcome to Sioux Sports... This picture was taken inside a C17 Globemaster by a friend of mine on his way to Afghanistan. He is a NDSU grad and proud Team Maker but he earns his living with the degree he obtained from UND. That is awesome and gave me goose bumps. Thank you all for your service to this country. Welcome aboard Backpages and good luck with your graduate program. Quote
Upper Deck Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 That's a cool photo. Thanks for your service! Go Sioux! Quote
Let'sGoHawks! Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 Yes, welcome to the academic side of UND, and welcome to the sports fan side of UND! As everyone has said, thank you for serving our country. Great photo by MD, thanks for that. Quote

ticklethetwine Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 Really? UND finance was hands down better than Carlson? Ok...to each his own. I believe the point was to make that it was better then NDSU. "just saying"! Quote
backpages Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 Really? UND finance was hands down better than Carlson? Ok...to each his own. Mpls Bison: I will answer your comment. I did extensive research into a Masters in Finance. After I had gathered the information I was seeking, but before I did on campus visits, this is how I rated the schools: 1. Minnesota (Carlson) and North Dakota (tie) 3. Wisconsin and Oregon (tie) 5. St. Cloud 6. Iowa After the visits my ratings changed: 1. North Dakota 2. Oregon 3. St. Cloud 4. Wisconsin 5. Iowa My dad was a Vietnam Veteran and he and other Nam vets told stories of how they were treated after returning from Vietnam. They were made to feel little better than the lowest life form. After my visit to Carlson I can relate to that treatment. Quote

I have done tech support with many soldiers in iraq and afghanistan who through the fog of war are still taking classes. Unbelievable! I am also a senator on UND staff senate and whenever we have events that we take donations we always give them to Soliders Angels. As a service member that makes all the difference in selecting a school. Take note bison boy. Quote

I have nothing but the highest respect for the men and women who serve this country and keep it free. I salute you!!! Quote
