That doesn't make much sense to me.

MT only has 300,000 more people than ND, you wouldn't think they'd have THAT many more athletes.

I guess ND still has too many people living in the rural boondocks.

HELLO! Your ancestors moved to the cities 25 years ago. Get with the program and leave the farming to the corporations!

Dressler is fine for high school. But once he gets to even a small school like UND, he'll have problems with his size.

tony
06-22-2004, 05:07 AM
Not to be disagreeable or anything but Dressler would have been a great signee for NDSU. I still can't figure out how a guy improves by a full TWO SECONDS in the 200 meters in one year. That's un-flipping-believable. Maybe he grew an inch or two or was gimpy as a junior? I've never heard of anybody getting so much faster in one year before... heck, I've never heard of anybody getting that much faster in four years.

Anyway, I'm not suggesting anything untoward, it's just amazing, and I think he has the potential to be a great one for UND.

Are you suggesting that UND might use Dressler to start a track program? ;D

Every once in a while, UND signs a fast guy... I remember Norm McGee who won three straight NCAA 100 meter races. His time in HS was 10.57 - almost exactly the same as Dressler's.

With our showing the last 8 years it's kind of hard to argue with them. Hopefully the large schools in the state start to build some high quality programs. It would be nice to win the game at least once every three or four years.

We probably are second tier. We should be trying to start those games too. Idaho, Wyoming, Iowa State, DI-A teams that we might be able to play with. Even the Gophers seem out of reach for us now, and forget Wisconsin.

Possibly. The geographic boundaries have changed over the years (the cutoff was Main Ave. when I was at South- now it's at least 13th Ave. S.). North has always had a lower enrollment than South (at least since the late 80's).

IowaBison
06-22-2004, 11:51 PM
south is about twice the size of north

the money thing isn't an issue as the school district doles it out pretty evenly

I meant the money made by the families of the students enrolled at each school.

Bison7925
06-23-2004, 12:24 AM
The geographical center of Fargo is now 17th Ave. South, which ironically is on the south side of Fargo South's campus.

So they should rename the school Fargo Central or Fargo Mid-North ;D

TheBisonator
06-23-2004, 02:28 AM
They're gonna build a new high school in far-south Fargo near Shanley's new digs by the end of the decade. Maybe they should rename South High "Central" and name the new school "South"???

1234 said Fargo South was too big and should be split up. Minot is similar size to South. Should they also be split up? It's a long and winding road, but I got there.

IowaBison
06-23-2004, 01:41 PM
the difference south fargo is growing and minot is definitely not

1234, what does parent's income have to do with anything? also i think you'd be hard pressed to find hard data that supports your statement, though i too think it's true

Bisonfan1234
06-23-2004, 04:20 PM
Minot is not in the Fargo School District.

The FSD, as far as I know, has 2 public HS: north and south. Since South is twice as big as North, that makes for a lopsided district, don't you think?

IowaBison
06-23-2004, 04:59 PM
what do you mean by lopsided? they are getting cramped in south fargo that will be the driver of change

my point, and why minot is brought up, is that you don't build new schools unless there is an increase in projected enrollment, which there is in the case of the south side of fargo, but not in the case of minot

at the same time West Fargo is booming and they have no intentions of building a new high school, though they do plan to build a middle school that will take away their ninth graders from their high school

Bisonfan1234
06-23-2004, 06:17 PM
They only have one high school in Minot and West Fargo.

How could it possibly be lopsided?!


Are you sure you're a sane person?


It has nothing to do with capacity, simply with fairness to each school. I have a hard time believing that Fargo South HS is physically bigger than North. Simply, I think there are probably twice as many kids enrolled their because the current boundry lines are set up that way. I also have a feeling that if the lines were re-drawn to give equal enrollment to each school that North's lines would be south of Fargo South! Obviously it makes no sense for someone that lives accross the street of FSHS to have to be bused to FNHS. Don't you agree? So with this rapid expansion to the south, I would say warrents a new HS there. And the tax payers of Fargo have to pay for it! Haha!

IowaBison
06-23-2004, 07:14 PM
apparently you know little about the fargo school district, fargo north and fargo south are, or at least were, the same school

the old fargo central burnt down, the school district had just built north and used the same blue prints for south

(most people who live or have lived in north dakota know this)

i question your use of the word lopsided as your argument for a new school because one is significantly larger is just plain silly, it has nothing to do with sanity-it has to do with reality

i like your use of the word fairness

hah!

fairness ::)

Bisonfan1234
06-23-2004, 07:20 PM
You just proved my argument for me! LOL! Did you even read what I said?!

I said that I DIDN'T think North and South were physically different.

Now you've said that they're the same size and yet, South still has TWICE the enrollment.

All this means is that everyone lives in south Fargo now and Fargo "South" HS is not even close to being in the south.


** I just looked at the Fargo Public Schools website and it appears that they plan on converting Discovery JHS into the 3rd HS.

IowaBison

i stated they're are nearly the same (those are not the same thing), just trying to inform you of REALITY, and that overcapacity (referring to a previous post) is the REAL driver of the addition of a new school, not some ridiculous, nonexistent requirement for equality in school size

I have an example from a friend who told me that his district was doing that exact thing. I even have the website you can go look at that says that they're building the new high school to take pressure off two other high schools to equal out enrollments.

However, first tell me what you would except as proof?

roadwarrior
06-23-2004, 10:30 PM
Although the original South High used the same plans as those for North, over the years, additions to the buildings have made the two far different. South does have more square footage than North, but probably not to the same degree as the difference in enrollments in the two schools.

Minot does have two high school buildings but they use them differently. The old building (early 1900's) in downtown Minot houses the 9th and 10th grades. The new building (early 1970's) in southwest Minot houses the juniors and seniors.

Some casual reading for 1234 *
(sorry guys, I couldn't ignore it any longer. I'm sure I will regret this in the morning)

http://www.sorghumgrowers.com/farmpolicy.htm

U.S. Farm Policy: *Myths vs. Facts

MYTH #1
U.S. farm policy bilks taxpayers and busts the budget.

FACT #1
U.S. farm policy costs pennies per meal and accounts for little more than one-half of 1% of the U.S. Budget. In fact, the 2002 Farm Bill costs less than the 1996 Farm Bill with emergency assistance.

MYTH #2
The 2002 Farm Bill depresses farm prices and increases food prices.

FACT #2
American consumers enjoy the safest, most abundant, and most affordable food supply in the world for 10.9% of income – less than consumers in any other country. In any case, the 2002 Farm Bill cannot depress farm prices and increase food prices at the same time.



http://www.heritage.org/Press/NewsReleases/NR052604a.cfm

Over the last few years, David Rockefeller, whose name is synonymous with wealth in America, raked in 99 times more in payments than the median farmer did, according to Brian Riedl, Heritage’s Grover Hermann fellow in federal budgetary affairs and author of the paper. Basketball star Scottie Pippen collected 39 times more; Ted Turner, the 25th richest man in America, harvested 38 times more; and Ken Lay, ousted Enron CEO and multimillionaire, received three times more.

Corporate farms collected even more. In 2002, a record 78 farms received subsidies of more than $1 million, up 13 percent from the previous mark. One company, Riceland Foods of Arkansas, received $110 million that year—more than all the farmers in Nevada, West Virginia, Vermont, Maine, Delaware, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Alaska, Hawaii and Rhode Island combined.

http://www.citizenreviewonline.org/mar_2002/as_farmers_retire.htm

Keeping the food supply domestic as well as in the hands of small family farmers vs. just a few corporations is also important.

When small farmers go out of business and larger corporate farms take over, there’s less competition and more of a chance consumers will see food prices increase, Kasparian said

http://www.ilsr.org/columns/1995/28March95.html


It turns out that small, family farms, if properly managed, can outcompete factory farms. An average sized Iowa hog farm with 60 sows can raise pork cheaper than an automated North Carolina factory farm with 3,000 sows. A recent study by the Minnesota based Land Stewardship Project and Minnesota's Department of Agriculture found that if farmers manage their livestock and crops carefully they can produce pork at prices factory farmers would find hard to match.

"This is not about efficiency. It is about control," says Mark Schultz of the Land Stewardship Project. It is about whether rural areas will be populated by hundreds of thousands of small, diversified and locally rooted independent producers or by a few hundred absentee owned corporations and their contractors.

Small, family farms can compete with factory farmers on the basis of price. But they can't compete with the giant corporations' financial, marketing and political clout.

Bisonfan1234
06-24-2004, 04:18 AM
To sum it all up, they can't compete, period.

No, they can't compete in prices either. It's pure numbers that are on the side of the corporate farm. More acres, more heads means lower prices for consumers.

End of story.

I really don't care about who farms what, where, or how big their lot is. All I care about, as a consumer, is prices.

Some people might go "I'll pay extra to support the family farmer". Not me, I pay only for the cheapest price.

If you don't like that, too bad.

Junior
06-24-2004, 04:36 AM
So am I safe to assume you think WalMart is good company despite the fact that they pay their employees low wages with minimal benefits and put so much pressure on thier suppliers that some of them go out of business?

But who cares? It's cheap. Right?!?

I can appreciate the fact that as a consumer you want low prices. But a blanket statement like "leave farming to the corporations" is much too simple of a proposed solution to a complex system that is neither free nor fair. Do we really want our food supply to depend on a handful of huge companies?

I guess my points are 1) how low do you actually think consumer prices can get? I don't think there is much additional downward movement possible. and 2) Government Farm programs are just a tiny part of the Federal budget. Consumers never even notice.

I guess we will just have to disagree on this one.

Bisonfan1234
06-24-2004, 01:11 PM
Like I said, all I care about is getting the lowest prices.

If John Q Small-Farmer is selling cheapest, I'll buy from him/her.


I don't think the Government should have any say in farming at all.

They damn well shouldn't be telling them to burn their own crops to raise the prices.


I'd rather buy international grown food if they're going to try and price-fix us. There is always another supplier to go to.

NDSU "doesn't* have any "learn how to farm" degrees. If you want that life then just stay on the farm and out of modern society.

There is more technology in modern production agriculture than the average home. To be successful you have to know how to market, manage, understand soil, plant, and animal sciences. A vast majority are also very environmentally consious. (more than I can say for the average consumer) Not to mention know how use advanced computer systems. Modern farmers are smart, efficient and savvy or they are no longer in the business.

Ever hear of any of these? All offered at NDSU

Agribusiness and Applied Economics
Animal and Range Sciences
Cereal and Food Sciences
Entomology
Plant Sciences
Plant Pathology
Soil Sciences
Ag Systems Management

But hey, what would I know. I've only helped develop some of the very equipment and technology they use by working directly with both large and small producers.

To say farmer of the 21st century are not part of modern society is just plain ignorant.

I wanted to get into growing Hemp for rope making, jewelry and medicinal purposes. I was told this was the only ag related experience I could get at UND, thus the end of my dream. I had to settle for a worthless EE degree.

I see over on Egriz the Montanans are talking about how they need to start games against Idaho and Wyoming (they are even talking about Washington....who I am sure could care less about Montana). *Seems that they think that North Dakota is totally second tier. *Hopefully we will put together a couple wins in the upcoming Bowls! *Gotta quiet those Montana people down!

Come on wyo, give the whole story. The MT people who mentioned a game with WA where told by other MT people that we would get killed.


i think that for the most part griz fans are full of sh-t, sure they've won a couple of natl championships

As for this clown's quote, I'll say that the Griz, with all the problems last season, still made the playoffs and were co-champs of the Big Sky. And while being co-champs of the Big Sky is not something we brag about, it is still an accomplishment that many teams in any conference have problems attaining.

Jah....good to hear from you again here on Bisonville....didn't mean to leave anything out of my post. And...hopefully the Nodak folks will get back in the game with the Montanas!

I don't post much over here, but I am a fairly frequent reader. I like the excitement about football over here.

Regarding scheduling NDSU in fargo, I have no problem with that. I would like that game to happen soon. Would have liked to see you guys on the schedule this season, but I don't schedule the games, and we did need an extra home game to get some more money due to our little budget fiasco.

Regarding Wyobison. I'm sure you were just trying to stir up a little excitement in the off season, no problem. But I had to note that most right thinking people know that WA would knock MT's dicks in the dirt in a H.S. all star game. Idaho, would be cool though. I think MT or ND would whoop up on Wyoming.

Actually, I have been pretty surprised at the quality of HS football here in Wyoming (for as few people a we have). It would be fun to have a tournament between the all-stars from the Dakotas, Montana and Wyoming. We already to a BB tourney with SD and Montana, so I think a "playoff" involving all 4 states would not be that tough to arrange.

I may have rushed to judgement of Wyoming H.S. football Wyo. I only based it on how many kids I saw being recruited from Wyoming. I didn't hear or read of many, but you being there, I trust your opinion.

Anyway, good luck to the Bison this season. I know it will be an interesting season for all of I-AA.

I definately hope to see UMT in our non-conference schedule for many years to come.

There was a time when I hoped that NDSU would join the Big Sky.

Then the Sky decided that they'd much rather pursue the likes of Idaho and SJSU than waste their time with us. They still haven't held a vote in which the majority of the members voted in approval of NDSU.

Screw the Sky, the Great West has the potential to be a better conference anyway and we can play UMT and MTSU in our NC for many years.

Uh yeah. What is wrong with the Big Sky wanting Idaho? They were (and are) a long-time rival, they've got good programs, they fit the conference profile, they aren't a provisional school, and they're within driving distance of several BSC members. THOSE BASTARDS! HOW DARE THEY?

I just can't picture Chapman or Taylor (or any adult for that matter) adopting your attitude.

Gonna have to get a thicker skin because NDSU is likely to get rejected a couple more times before getting an invitation to join.

Screw the Mid-con. We want what is best for NDSU and the State of North Dakota......something that 1234 has NO CLUE about. Now.....go lay by your dish.... :P

Guys, our bed is made and there's a hot babe in it!

The Great West is BETTER than the Sky. UNC and SDSU have the potential to be HUGE rivals and we can always schedule UMT, MTSU, and whoever else in the NC (which we'll havep lenty of spots to do).

Get that in your heads right now. We'd be fools to back out of the Great West.

Ain't happening, end of story.

If I've said it once and another time, I've said it twice, "We can't turn up our noses at any conferences."

only two things come from texas and you don't look like a steer to me so that pretty much narrows it down.

I think he comes from North Dakota, so you are safe 1234.

Brilliant! What rapier wit! I can see why it took you 20 minutes to come up with that one. What a treasure you are to have on this board 1234.

Now you can go back and resume humping your FieldTurf couch while fantasizing about male IUPUI cheerleaders and cheap food products obtained from corporate farms ...

It was simply 20 minutes since you posted that I posted that. I wouldn't sit 20 mins trying to think of a post, don't flatter yourself.
