Soccer has 11 people per side, baseball 9... you can play one on one (I used to with my dad) and I've seen people play in alleys (stickball)... I'd say the two are both on par for simplicity.

YAAR, doncha know hockey would be the best alternative you can get in this northern US and closest to futbol, I just hate going to games with no fanatics, imagine UND cheering, booring!! Anyway you're not allowed to do crap in ND, even if it is chill like walking. Have I ever told you a bunch of friends and I got pulled over by police for walking. #$#*? The deal was the park closes after 10pm, and we were not even in the park. Imagine how boring this place is and how quiet the people are here.

Street soccer is a huge past time of many over the world, got a ball, got a street, kick it!

Yeah, but to play at a high level of soccer, you need an acting degree. When I lived in Germany, every time I almost got into a soccer game, some guy would be heading towards the goal with the ball, a guy would almost touch him and the guy would hit the deck, legs flailing just to get a call. Talk about a momentum killer.

I take it you watch about as much soccer as I watch hockey....

Last game I viewed where someone had excessive dramatics, they got a yellow card for being a drama queen! Hows that for a ref's call!

Forgot to mention, only if there were actual fanatics, otherwise it would be boring cheering for the Sioux.

Haha

:P
No the Aviation College is what brings the school down. Everyone in it thinks they're special because they fly airplanes and all they can do for the first year is talk about airplanes. Then for the next 3 years they complain about Grand Forks and talk about why their home is so much cooler. I don't understand the Aviation mentality that everyone here holds. You call the people on the other side of campus hicks for going to a hockey game and they call you dorks for sitting on a forum on a Saturday night. When I was applying for college I went with the full intent of having a good time. It came down to the beach or the tundra. I chose the Tundra because the beach is only cool for race week when you get to party with more hicks. My point of this stupid rant is why don’t you have more fun while you’re here. Why rush into a crappy industry without having a little fun first.

With soccer I wish that we weren’t so big of Cady A$$e$ in America and we could have the type of fun they do at European Soccer games

We do a hell of a lot more than sit on forums on a saturday night. And not everyone hate's it here. Sure we miss home but it's cause most of us homesick. I do admit the "anti-ND" does go a little far on these web site. I think both sides should be a little more understanding. Though, If it wasn't for the Avit students at UND, UND wouldn't be anywhere near what it is now. We both should just pull the stick's out of our @$$es and enjoy our time together, cause it ends quickly.

You're right...the University would only have 11,000 undergraduates, not 13,000. Thats a huge difference. :/

The only thing UND would be moderately known for if Aviation wasn't there would be hockey. UND is known for their aviation program all over the country. TX, CA, WA, FL, NY...etc.

In so many ways I soooo agree with you (in bold) and you have a perfect point. I hate aviation students as much as I myself am one and have a big watch on my wrist. So we can say I'm one in denial. Believe it or not, when all the aviation students are out talking about airplanes, I'm out with people from other majors, other nationalities, other states, talking about anything else. Talking about having fun, we do so much stuff here no one else does. I'm sorry when I think of it, I see it as if we (outsiders) bring life to this little town, harsh to say but the truth is that this town does suck.

Anything you try to do 'fun' is wrong in this farm town.

To simplify the mentality of this town and support my explanation when there is a rock band playing while people have their fat arse sitting, Im up bashing in the front, and this is mostly with the outsiders (anyone but people from gfk). Screw Grand Forks. Disclaimer, I have met maybe 2 local that had a drive for FUN.

Don't beleive me, hang out with us and find out for yourself..

Really I'm not ranting on the other half of campus and I'm happy to hang out with them, I'm ranting on anything that symobolizes Grand Forks, and their pridefull UND.

a question to all of the posters in this and other threads in this section: if it's really so bad, why don't you go to a school in a better part of the country? suck it up and deal with it - quit complaining.

you chose to go there.
