UMDDogz Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 It's time to put some points between us and those pesky Duluth Dogs. I'll be on SS.com this weekend waiting for the Sioux to falter!! Just kidding. I will be on SS.com...but I don't expect that the Dogs will still be in first place after this weekend. In fact, we could be back in third...but only if Wisco sweeps UM and UND takes at least one point. I think UND will sweep, and UW/UM will split leaving UMD in second with five weeks remaining.

U2Bad1 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 I remember back in october 2001, kupchella caught a lot of flack for not cancelling classes during the freak blizzard. Wonder if that will impact future decisions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fighting Sioux Fan Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Do they even have classes when it is -10? Yup, I thought the radio said it was -24 this morning when I was starting the car, but I could be wrong. It has to get extremely cold to cancel class. Temps this cold is nothing new around here, why cancel stuff when it is that cold. We are not a bunch of pansies like people out east...

Wonder if that will impact future decisions? I remember that. I wonder what they will do if the wind picks up at all this week and drops the wind chill to way below zero. I couldn't believe they had class on monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwing77 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 I remember the signs. When I was a freshman in 1995-96 school year here at UND, they posted signs all over saying that your flesh would freeze in 5 seconds or so and to remind us to bundle up. All I can remember was being incredibly pissed off at the administration of the school for patronizing us like that. They only have to walk, at most, a block to their cozy little offices and not worry about the outside at all while we had to walk quarter-half a block just to catch the bus and then, depending upon where your class was, much more than a mere block to get to class.

Carl Spackler Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Those were the 4-5 days in 1990-1991 when I was very happy to say I lived in the dorms, even as a Junior at UND. I walked 5-10 minutes to classes, no car worries, no parking worries. Sure miss Squires cooking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprig Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Fire Weather Station in Northwest corner of ND Hourly satellite transmissions; only -27 at last look and winds have been in the 30's most of the day. Another 3-4" of snow to go with it. Brutal out here today. Don't think we'll be burning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sioux fan in phoenix Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Phoenix topped 60 with fair skies, a slight breeze & no snow...didn't see anyone wearing parkas or boots but I did see a couple hotties in tight shirts & even tighter shorts. Oh well, I'll try to put up with these miserable conditions a while longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farce poobah Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 To answer the question....I went to UND for 4....errrr 5 years and I remember class being cancelled ONCE for cold weather. I believe it was -32 ambient and -75 wind chill that day. Twas a long day at the bar! February 2, 1979: classes cancelled at the University of North Dakota, due to air temps -30 to -40, northwest winds at 35-40, wind chills quoted at -80. Which meant that the students could get in line REAL EARLY to watch the #1 UMD Bulldogs take on the #2 UND Fighting Sioux. We were in line outside for 3 hours; UND staff took pity on us and opened the doors 2 hours before gametime instead of the normal 1 hour. I have never been so cold in my life. But it was worth it!! Ah, the good old days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggler Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Wow. That is cold, much colder than we have ever had to deal with I think. Especially for 3 hours. The only flaw I see is that you seem to imply that normally classes would prevent you from getting in line. What is up with that? Thank Zach that we don't have to stand outside anymore. The UAA series reminded me just how much it sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7>4 Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Geez, I thought you was all Sioux fans. What's all this bitching about the cold? In my day I walked 10 miles to and from class in nothing but a pair of loafers and a windbreaker. I did use a pair of earmuffs when it got below -40 but's that's only because I lost my hair when I was 15. Time to toughen up and quit sounding like a bunch of Gopher fans. Sioux sweep this weekend.

Diggler Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Everyone knows that walking somewhere in cold weather with no hair and ear muffs is much easier then having to standing in line. We ain't wimps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7>4 Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Walking anywhere with no hair and earmuffs ain't easy. . . . . regardless of the weather conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggler Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 But heat is generated by moving while standing stationary allows for heat to escape much more readily or some such thing. I am not debating your contention that lacking hair is tough in adverse weather conditions, I'm just stating that stationariness is tougher.

forecheck Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Diggler, you should have majored in creative writing or something. The last two days definitely had that sting to them. I think Monday would have been cancelled if it weren't for the fact that there were already no classes on either Monday of the first 2 weeks of school. We had to move our vehicles out of our parking lots this morning where I live so that they could clear the snow, and a friend and I both got ours stuck in the snow out in the street. After we got out of class around 5:00 we spent about a 1/2 hour trying to dig/push our cars out of the snow before someone stopped to help us. He even turned down a free beer and a meal! That's ok, we went ahead with him. Things always look better after a beer and some blackjack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
