Nice job cherry-picking results. ;) GFRR still has some catching up to do when it comes to state titles. :p

In the what have you done for me lately category....Since 1985, Central has won 5 State Championships...Red River has won 13!! :p

Yeah, we have a lot of near-misses and shoulda-woulda-coulda's in there. :sad: As long as Imperial Cass and GPR don't take home too many titles, I can live with it.

Apologies for contributing to the thread drift, but IMO GFC will be hard-pressed to win another state title of any kind until this issue is dealt with: http://forum.siouxsp...-boundary-line/

I believe the way the districts are set up is patently unfair and inequitable.

And everytime someone even suggests changing them, a bunch of parents whine and complain about it. :angry: And I believe most of them can be seen at the ND State Hockey Tournament every year wearing red sweater vests and khakis. :silly: Honestly people, Grand Forks is (and will continue) growing southward. At some point, you will have to change the boundaries or else one school will have lots of empty spaces and the other will be overcrowded. And no, adding onto Red River HS is NOT a solution.

How about the year GFC and GFRR ended the title game in a tie. Classic Rider/Redskins moment. I think that was 87.

That is unless more south end kids get some sense like my friends and I did and go to central even though we grew up deep in Red River territory. Since that is unlikely districts need to be modified since the north end of town touches a river and can't grow while the south is exploding. We need those great cross town games that are competitive like they used to be with hockey and basketball especially.

I'd be more concerned with the staff, infrastructure and facilities at GF Central to be able to handle a larger influx of kids. But, if it's about being more completitive in sports with GF Red River, then...what the heck!

They did just add on a new gym and some classrooms that can be used for choir and music stuff so maybe they have more class rooms than before. I do know that when I was at central it was defiantly not over crowded and could easily handle a lot more students.

Sports wise Red River has the upper hand in coaching and I know some good players have gone to Red River instead of Central because of that.

What class were you? I was class of 94. I graduated with a couple UND standouts...Jay Panzer and a RB named Phillip Moore.

Kids dont show up to attend game slike they used to

purpur used to be rocking back in the day. sad sad

Didn't they change it a few years ago that you have to pay for the individual games as they stopped student fees?

Wow! UND Alumni Association just announced completed goal of $300M in North Dakota Spirit Campaign in last 6 yrs.Most in state hist by $200M

Congratulations to everyone that helped raise the money and to those that contributed! :)

Posted

So since the indoor facility was apart of the spirit campaign does that mean all of the money is there and ready to go?

Not necessarily. The campaign goal was $300 million. A lot of projects were eligible to be included under the Spirit Campaign banner. But that doesn't mean that the individual projects were completely funded.

I am so happy I had the chance to see the old hockey arena one final time over winter break. I will be attending UND in the fall and it will be strange not seeing it. I grew up on the base for eight years and remember attending many outdoor fooball games and hockey games at the old arena. I hope the outdoor stadium isn't going to be affected by the new building. I can't wait to go over the hill and see the field. That was the first thing I had to do when I took a trip to Grand Forks to see UND this winter.

a fellow base brat eh?

Yes. I was equally excited to get back to the base as I was to see une. I was so disapointed to see what has happoned. I could very well see the base closing in a few years and think UND should have the mascot of the Warriors of the north . It would help keep the history of the base alive. In the past years Base members have done so much for the town of Grand Forks.

Anyone following Mussman on teh twitters care to share what his pic tweeted about the new lockers is or post it here?

Are the locker rooms he's referring to the ones at Memorial Stadium or at Alerus Center?
