WCHA Final 5 (6) ((5)) - You Know (I Think) What I Mean

Re: WCHA Final 5 (6) ((5)) - You Know (I Think) What I Mean

North Dakota: Like South Dakota, but colder, windier, and with less natural beauty.

Isn't the Ralph the only place in North Dakota that doesn't smell like beets or manure?

That would definitely explain why so many people go to the games.

FWIW, the beet factory is in East Grand Forks, which is in Minnesota. The Ralph has a fantastic smell :p:D:D

Apparently many people here have not been west of Grand Forks. The western half of North Dakota has more natural beauty than the eastern half of the state. I'm not saying it's majestic by any means, but much nicer than the eastern half.

Interesting. I have been on an Anchorage bus once ... in the last 28 years. Try a bicycle sometime, nice mode of transport. Surprisingly, a trip across town that used to take me 15 minutes in a car only takes 30 on my Lotus. But then again I'm sure the trail system there in Fargo isn't quite as picturesque or extensive as here in Anchorage. Enjoying your $75 fill-ups and supporting people like Koch Bros. As for the amount of time I stay at home ... why would you expect that a thriving drug distributor would need to go many places? When you market a quality product people come to you. Sorry for the delay in response, I had to drive up to the bank, launder some funds and buy some cheese for my burgers.

Yeah, I hear Jamestown is known as the "Paris" of North Dakota.

You are ripping on the wrong fan about showing up, little girl. I missed a total of four games this season, which has been about normal for me aside from my time living in Boston. Actually, Those of us who post here were all at the game Sunday night, along with 5500 others. And again, I would love to be at the Final Five, but I unfortunately do not have the money to make the trip.

It's easy to be a Sioux fan with the success your program has had. Yeah, it takes real dedication to cheer for a perennial winner and championship contender. Of course there are so many of you.:rolleyes:

Did you have your abacus with you to count the attendance? The World Arena holds 8,000 so it says. There is NO WAY there was 5500 plus you at that game! I was there you fool. So, either you weren't there OR you're perception of 5500 people is warped! So sad to hear you can't make the Final Five! Money huh? Well, for someone who's such an elite fan of CC hockey I would think that you would actually PLAN to attend it every year by saving! Yes, what an interesting concept! Just think, that way you're able to go if your beloved Tigers make it..and if they don't, you can spend it on ALL of these other amazing things you day that Colorado has to offer! Win-Win! ;)

Check the attendance numbers. Pretty simple.

Who are you to judge what I should use my money on? As high as the CC Tigers are on my list of priorities, life has many other priorities as well, and these all must be balanced. So enjoy your trip to St. Paul. I'll be cheering my Tigers on at home. If that makes me less dedicated than you, so be it.
 
Re: WCHA Final 5 (6) ((5)) - You Know (I Think) What I Mean

Well of course you have other priorities. You're a CC fan, you have all sorts of other things to do!

Can you tailgate between games in any of the lots?
Click to expand...

Yes. My group has been attending the final 5 since it moved to the X and we have always tailgated. When you exit the X at the 7th street entrance, cross the street and take a left before the Eagle Street Grill. Go down the hill and take a right at the first block. There are several lots to choose from and my group uses the lot which is behind the Cossetta's catering building which is not the same as the Cossetta's on 7th but owned by the same people. Over the years we have gotten to know the owners and sometimes they invite us in the building for free food and to play some Bocce. They are serious about their Bocce as they have their own Bocce court. The usually reserve us the corner of the lot and we fly an SCSU flag every year. If you are under 21 it is your decision. I have never seen the police enter the lot but St Paul's finest can be vicious...DON'T J-WALK! Since I posted this I wouldn't be surprised to see the po-po enter the lot this year but since I'm of age, who cares. Good Luck!

Yep. Earthquakes and volcanoes are clearly better.

Yes, Western North Dakota has beautiful places, I'm just saying that Western South Dakota has more. :)

did you forget you said? Is not the craphole named Jamestown west of Grand Forks?

Hilarious how much people from North Dakota will defend the state which is far and away the most frequent brunt of "state" jokes in North America. How about instead of telling everyone how the joint isn't so bad that you name a single state that has less to offer humanity than North Dakota?

Face it, the place is pretty overwhelmingly the absolute overall worst place within a set of state's borders on the continent. None of your defenses or the illogical emotional attachment you can express here will change anyone's opinion about the place. Wyoming has more to offer; Iowa too; even Michigan is a better place; N.D. can't touch Jersey; Mississippi may only be slightly better ... but the word "better" still applies.

Now, feel free respond with some inane list of all the positive qualities of the place which you can muster (we know you are dying to). It won't mean anything to anyone here that's busting the chops of the desolate windblown treeless plain on which you have the unfortunate fate to live. You have much to be proud of regarding your hockey team and it's history. Stick to that or gtfo.

Donald is correct that North Dakota really doesn't have an awful lot to offer if you don't enjoy killing wildlife just as I am right that UAA fans always show up as empty seats at the Sullivan. Despite this both fan bases try to argue these facts. It's just the way it is.

I would rather be stricken with cancer than live in Alaska. While Sarah Palin was born in Idaho she was raised by the incompetence of Alaska and grew up throwing rocks at Russia from her backyard. Alaska has spawned the most hated woman in modern day culture and that's saying a lot since Snooki has emerged. I realize the lack of intelligent and attractive women is frustrating for you Donald(unless you stay in Alaska for the abundance of men), get over it or move.

It's a Long, Lonely Search for Men Looking for Love in Alaska

SINGLE-PAGE

NOME, Alaska, July 15 — It was late on a summer evening at a saloon on Front Street in this dusty mining and fishing town on the Bering Sea, and the men were excited.

The bar, Breakers, was packed. And standing on the beer-stained floor was a most unusual sight for Nome's many bachelors: women.

There they were, an oasis in the Arctic, shooting pool, giving out phone numbers, dashing off to the restroom to apply lipstick, coquettishly sipping drinks bought by their suitors, including a popular cocktail, ''Love Me Tender,'' made with gin and peach vodka.

''Aren't they so fantastic?'' one single man said to another. ''I wish they wouldn't leave us.''

Summer is a time of hope for the unattached men of Nome, a tough gold rush town of 3,500 people in Alaska's far western corner, where single men outnumber single women by almost two to one. Each June, with the midnight sun come the summer interns -- this year, seven fresh-faced women in their 20's from across the lower 48 states. They work on a nutrition project with Nome's Alaska Natives and then spend many of their nights barhopping.
In July, a troupe of traveling strippers from Minnesota makes its annual stop in Nome; the other night, five topless dancers drew a huge crowd to another Nome saloon for their show, ''Erotica.''

Seth Augdah, 24, a ticket agent for Bering Air, attended the topless revue, and he was heavily flirting with the interns at Breakers the night before. But there was a certain sadness in his eyes.

''The summer influx is great,'' Mr. Augdah said. ''But I would like something long term. My friends keep telling me, 'Seth, one of these days, a girl will move to town, and she will be perfect for you.' I'm still waiting for that day.''

Alaska is known for its abundance of single men. Gold miners, oil workers, hunters, trappers and fishermen moving here in droves to live out the fantasy of a rugged, prosperous life on the frontier, a fantasy not often shared by women. The latest census data show there are 114 single men for every 100 single women in Alaska, compared to 86 single men for every 100 single women nationally (and 80 to 100 in New York State.)

Good luck with that. But remember that cancer rates are influenced greatly by environment and do tend to be proportional to the pristine level of that environment. Is Sarah Palin a worse human being than Ralph Englestad? I'd tend to think so. But I'm not here to subjectively compare individual humans from one place versus the other. Um .. cos that'd just be the stupidest argument EvAH on this board.

North Dakota is a craphole. Anchorage hockey fans are crap about supporting their WCHA team. Freaking Nome isn't Anchorage and there isn't a statewide statistic that isn't offset by the vast difference from Anchorage to the rest of the state. Alaska is no more about Anchorage than the people of Alaska are about what is truly the most vast beautiful awe-inspiring pristine wilderness in North America.

So there's that.

If you want to talk politics, horrible diesases or anything related, please make your way over to the cafe. I really don't want to see it but rather here about how much North Dakota and several of the final 5 teams suck. Thank you.
