    Default Grand Forks Forum

    I don't post often but the Forum has got me riled up. I have been reading the Forum for over 50 years. It was the Fargo Forum but they changed the name to the Forum a few years ago. Now the sports page is filled with und stories, often out numbering the Bison stories. The Forum employs a Fargo/NDSU hater as an opinion writer. When did this change happen and why? The Forum has morphed into the Grand Forks Forum. I like to read the local news but the UND slant is pushing me away from subscribing. OK, rant is done.

    Just cancel it like a lot of others have.

    Von Pinnon is the editor, not a writer... oh, you are talking about little Bobbie Port. Despite my error, I believe that I might have answered your question.

    I don't know. I kind of quit reading/listening to their stuff because it's old news after hearing about it on Bison1660. Bison 1660 provides well over 30 hours per week of coverage during the football and basketball season

    Join the Green and the Gold Collective to take Bison football to the next level. Starts at $10 a month

    The Green and The Gold Collective is excited to announce our #DriveToFive membership campaign. The goal of this campaign is to get to 500 monthly members. Reaching this goal will help us provide financial support to NDSU student athletes, including every returning member of the football team that saw action on the field last year!

    We get the weekend paper. Todays is still out in the box probably won't get it till tomorrow and just keep it to use while packing boxes for shipping at Christmas. Really close to just canceling it.

    Kolpack whining like a baby this summer put me over the top after all the slanted antindsu coverage.
