Stafford Article

[Sioux_Hab-it]

I didn't spot this in any other thread but yesterday INCH posted a complimentary review on UND's (next Captain?), Drew Stafford.

It'd sure be nice if INCH could get through a UND-related article without taking some kind of shot at Grand Forks.

Is that possible, PCM? I think that's in their charter.

Wouldn't want to break the norm.

In any case, I love the last two sentences of the blurb. Scott Sandelin said:

"With his talent level, and skill-wise, he was right at the top of the roster. He was our best player.

I read the article twice and I didn't see where they took a shot at Grand Forks?

[Diggler]

I thought that was Phil "Nazareth" Kessel?

In any case, I do believe he'll wear the C.

Close, but it's actually Phillip of Nazareth

What relevence do these references have to the story?

...his best work usually comes when the ice on the Red River is melting.

Summers are notoriously short in North Dakota...

I'll admit, I'm probably too touchy about the subject. But if you read INCH stories related to UND often enough, you'll see that taking digs at Grand Forks and its climate are standard operating procedure.

They constantly take shots at Grand Forks for no particular reason.

I might be touchy about the subject also, but it really has gotten old.

1. Ice on the RR eventually melts, and 2. Summers are "short" in GF, especially compared to parts of the country where you can still golf in December.

I believe the writer Jess Myers is from like Rosoeu and went to UND and wrote for Sioux Illustrated.

EDIT: screwed up on the magazine name.

I think you're wrong. I believe he went to Wisconsin.

I think you're wrong.  I believe he went to Wisconsin.

From the tropics is he?

Fair enough. I guess I have never paid that much attention to INCH articles regarding the Sioux.

I did think the writer was using the ice melting on the Red River as a metaphor for playoff time and was in fact complimenting Drew.
