Draper isn't wrong.

Quote

When the Red Wings drafted James, director of amateur scouting Kris Draper joked that he was glad James was going to North Dakota because there was not much to do there. He would have plenty of time to concentrate on hockey. James said Draper was correct. But he recently bought a guitar because he wants to learn how to play.

"Is there anything to down in this town besides eat?"

"Tons of stuff! Late night pitch and putt. We could go to the livestock auction and cruise the 4H babes. Throw stuff off a bridge. What do you feel like doin'?"

What do college students do these days that doesn't involve a device*? All most need is WiFi or 5G. <- Yeah, that was pretty cynical. 

 

*iPhone, iPad, Xbox, Galaxy, Firestick, what-have-ya-an'-such ... 

Do condoms have to be bluetooth now?

Not a great recruiting tool, "Come to North Dakota because there is nothing to do but focus on hockey", but maybe we should take what we can get. Guess it is better than "Come to Minnesota and have a great chance to become a victim of violent crime!"

I am going to agree with @brianvf here, not having a lot of distractions could be seen as a good thing. If you like freezing your a$$ off in the winter. :)

I love this board so much. I'll I know is, when I visit my parents, who are in their late 60s, they spend JUST AS MUCH TIME buried in their devices as my nieces and nephews do :D

Yep. My mom is 81 and she has her phone and ipad always nearby and of course her desktop computer that she really only uses for solitaire

Last time I checked college kids are only concerned with partying, co-eds, sports and school. They don't have money left after all of that. 

Pretty much, except that you left out elizabethan poetry and organic chem.

this one was tongue in cheek....not serious...does not count against my "ideas" tally. but looking back in the day when u of m was announced....duluth was the obvious choice like most of other big 10 schools having their main campus outside of the big city...madison, east lansing, ann arbor, champaign, happy valley............
