Sioux-per Villain Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 can you blame him for leaving that program? terrible team terrible town terrible fans...... Quote
Marty Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 can you blame him for leaving that program? terrible team terrible town terrible fans...... He made the decision to go there. I don't feel sorry for him. Did he think they were going to win a NC in St. Cloud? I agree with you 100% about the town though. St. Cloud and Bismark are the two most ugliest towns I've ever been too. Quote
PCM Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 I agree with you 100% about the town though. St. Cloud and Bismark are the two most ugliest towns I've ever been too. Where is this "Bismark" that you've been "too?" I lived in Bismarck for 15 years. It was and still is a nice town. Quote
U2Bad1 Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 Where is this "Bismark" that you've been "too?" I lived in Bismarck for 15 years. It was and still is a nice town. Having been to every "major" city in North Dakota I would have to say Bismarck is by far the prettiest. Quote
Sioux-per Villain Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 The only thing Bismarck has going for it over St. Cloud is excessive numbers of pheasants, ducks, geese, deer, and walleyes to kill. But not if you're a Minnesota resident. Quote
Marty Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 Where is this "Bismark" that you've been "too?" I lived in Bismarck for 15 years. It was and still is a nice town. I went to the one where the State Capital building looks like the same as my college dorm. Quote
MinnesotaNorthStar Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 Bismarck is a nice city...I've flown over it a few times, I keep going back for a reason. The capitol building sticks out like a sore thumb from a few thousand feet. Quote
petey23 Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 You must have went 7 miles to far and wound up in Mandan. As far as ugly cities of the 4 largest in ND. Minot has to top that list. The 3 prettiest views in North Dakota.... The Turtle Mountains, The Badlands and Minot in your rearview mirror. Quote
Goon Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 You must have went 7 miles to far and wound up in Mandan. As far as ugly cities of the 4 largest in ND. Minot has to top that list. The 3 prettiest views in North Dakota.... The Turtle Mountains, The Badlands and Minot in your rearview mirror. I spent quite a bit of time in Minot during the last couple of years and I always thought Minot was a nice city. Caught one of the biggest walleyes I ever seen through the ice on a lake north of the Minot Air Force Base (I want to say lake Sarah). Quote
Manderleigh13 Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 I lived in Minot for 15 months and that was all my parents could handle. We headed back to WI. The hills and scenery were pretty but Minot was a boring city, which I think is why my parents, well my mom couldn't stand living there. I think Grand Forks is prettier and has more things to do, making it overall a better city. I have been back to Grand Forks twice this year but have yet to see Bismarck again, but it was pretty last time I was there. Quote
Fighting Sioux Fan Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 If Minot has less things to do then Grand Forks, I am never going there! I heard on the Big Dogs this morning that Grand Forks rated second in the nation in binge drinking. Maybe it was a April fools joke, maybe not! Most of the towns on the list were in the upper midwest and were college towns... Quote

Mad Man Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 How do you spell gulable. Not that way. gullible Quote
Manderleigh13 Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 I go to the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and we got a speech before Spring Break on drinking and we ranked very high among college towns. I believe 4 of the top 10 were in WI and 8 of the top 10 were in the midwest- Grand Forks may have been on the list. Quote

Binge drinking most common in upper Midwest, least in South By Janet Kornblum, USA TODAY Alcoholics aren't the only problem drinkers; so are people whose social imbibing gets out of hand. And a study released today indicates that binge drinking is most prevalent in the upper Midwest. Defined as drinking five or more alcoholic beverages within a few hours, binge drinking also is prevalent in Texas and Nevada but is lowest in the South, the research shows. It's also more common among men and people age 34 and younger. Among the 120 largest metropolitan areas, San Antonio had the highest prevalence of binge drinking; Chattanooga, Tenn., had the lowest, according to the study by researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Findings are published in the American Journal of Public Health. "If (I were) the mayor or somebody who is living or working in one of the cities with high binge-drinking rates, I would be quite alarmed," says study co-author Tim Naimi, a public health physician with the CDC. Highest binge rates Measured as percentage of those 18 and older who had five or more drinks within a few hours in the past month. 1. San Antonio 23.9 2. Grand Forks, N.D.-Minn. 23.4 3. Milwaukee-Waukesha, Wis. 22.7 4. Austin-San Marcos, Texas 22.6 5. Sioux Falls, S.D. 21.4 6. Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, Iowa-Ill. 21.1 7. Cedar Rapids, Iowa 20.6 8. Duluth-Superior, Minn.-Wis. 20.3 9. Lincoln, Neb. 20.1 10. Springfield, Mass. 20.1 Source: American Journal of Public Health "But I think it's important to recognize that binge drinking is pretty common across the U.S. Acute intoxication from alcohol is a leading cause of death in the U.S. It's extremely common. It's extremely dangerous Quote

And surprisingly Duluth came in 8th. Quote

Cratter Posted April 2, 2004 Posted April 2, 2004 Well I was wrong. http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2004-0...inge-usat_x.htm 2 of the top 4 are from Texas? Quote
Hrkac_Circus Posted April 2, 2004 Posted April 2, 2004 I think if we added another spring fest, we'd #1 with a bullet Quote
airmail Posted April 2, 2004 Posted April 2, 2004 Uhhhh... any other Confirmed Early Departures From Other Programs? Quote
Fighting Sioux Fan Posted April 2, 2004 Posted April 2, 2004 The only thing we confirmed is people in Grand Forks like to drink Quote
siouxnami Posted April 2, 2004 Posted April 2, 2004 No fair... Those drinking stats were taken during the Hockey season, and thus skwed... Quote
