Was one on campus in the early 90’s! Highly doubt that’s still around. 

In early 70s, there was one on the alley across the street from the ATO house.   I think it was basement.

But back then everything was in caves, so . . . .

It's nothing. He has inked the term sheet, which means he has agreed to all the terms that UND is offering and neither party can change anything unless agreed upon. People need to stop worrying about this and the said reporter needs to do a better job than installing fear into fans.

fear?  some call this hope....

Which vd has a basement

Go behind the ATO house and cross the street to the east.  Was there in the mid-eighties.  It was kind of like walking into somebody's basement apartment.  Edit:  Ah, I see Mr Burd has beaten me to the punch.

Went back to the 80's - LONG GONE but it was a lifesaver for guys that lived in the dorms.  Stumbled down the stairs from Walsh Hall many times to get a frozen pizza or other nosh after a long night at the bars.  Only C-store on campus so it ruled.  

RIP Valley Dairy!  They sold all their stores (and soul) to Petroserve of Fargo a couple years ago.  Not the same - their stores are jammed with crap and filthy.  Worked graveyards at the Stanford Road VD going through college - it was a great job and I took pride working for a princely $6.85 an hour on the night shift.  No benefits other than the occasional expiring microwave burrito at a five finger discount or roller dog that had been turning for 8 hours at the end of the night...chewy as I remember.

Mr. P (aka 'P'unishment) pizza's were the late night go-to from there in the mid-80's

I lived in Bek hall and I stumbled over to that C-Store a few times and I loved it.

I thought that VD was there specially for people who were stoned and needing munchies.

Probably that too.

I thought that VD was there to prevent pregnancies and ... VD.

UND could get a goalie on staff with the current director of player personnel opening.

Quote

UND posted an open position this week for a director of player personnel and office operations.

It was previously held by former North Dakota Mr. Hockey winner Ryan LaDouceur, who has taken a new job on UND's campus.

The Fighting Hawks could hire a goaltender for this spot.

Ah nice, I was wondering if that was why you posted that pic of him a few days earlier.
So they did exactly that.
This coaching staff has been making all the right moves so far.
Really hoping we see a changed product on the ice this fall from it!

Had a WeFest ad pop up on social media. Looks like Coach Jackson is being used to promote this year's event.

Lived at ATO so it was steps from our side door.

Was better known as "The Swet" since one of the e's in sweet and the h-e-a-r-t on the neon Sweetheart Bread sign that hung on the building were burned out.

 

"Jesus" worked there.

Bonus structure for Jax is significantly leaning towards post-season success:

https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/dane-jackson-will-make-less-money-than-brad-berry-but-he-has-an-avenue-to-catch-up

Quote

Jackson's base salary this season is $400,000. His pay could reach $510,000 if he hits all seven bonuses.
Jackson's base salary increases annually by $15,000. But a trip to the NCAA Frozen Four adds $25,000 to the base salary. An NCAA national championship adds $50,000. Those figures carry through the remainder of the contract. They duplicate every additional time Jackson achieves them.

Quote

Chaves also completely cut out bonuses for a 20-win season, a 25-win season, finishing in the top half of the NCHC, winning a quarterfinal playoff series, reaching the NCHC title game, earning a No. 1 or No. 2 seed in the NCAA tournament, winning a first-round game in the NCAA tournament, having an All-American, a Hobey Baker Award finalist and a Hobey Baker winner.

Quote

Jackson's seven bonuses are winning the Penrose Cup ($5,000), winning an NCHC playoff title ($5,000), earning an NCAA berth ($10,000), winning NCHC Herb Brooks Coach of the Year ($5,000), earning the Spencer Penrose national coach of the year ($10,000), reaching the NCAA Frozen Four ($25,000) and winning the NCAA national championship ($50,000).
