If any campus in the UA system should be whining about the lack of new construction, it's UAS.

People go to UAS?

Typical Anchorage attitude

[QUOTE=Squarebanks;4652291]Ok, enough of battling over funding and basketball. Puck drops in less than 48 hours. Here's my crack analysis and prediction.

Seawolves: UAA has had a bit of a February fade (in contrast to last season when they came on strong to finish out). I admittedly don't follow UAA too closely; I think any of my fellow Anchorage residents agree that the mainstream media here (that's you, Woody and ADN) make it almost impossible to follow in-state collegiate athletics. But hey, I sure do think it's great when high school track is on the front page of the sports section.

One thing I'll be interested to see is who starts in net for the Seawolves. Olthius seems to have won the battle with Christianson, but if my memory is correct it was Bryce who shut out UAF last year.

Coach Shyiak has admittedly had some pretty significant success against UAF; in all honesty beating your rival can always atone for quite a few other L's along the way. But it seems like over the last few years he's motivated UAA to get up for this series much more so than our guys have.

Actually, Last year, we came in with the same record in our last 4 games like we did this year (0-3-1). Didn't go on our lil end of a hot streak til we played you guys.

Also, Squarebanks i remember you making a post about your BBall calling for Clem Johnson out (or something like that) I think after last nights' game, you might wanna reconsider cause i haven't seen a Nooks team that good since Brad Oleason played.

So that's what made the bear mad enough to blow up the world.

I believe the figure is somewhere around 80% of University construction funding has gone to UAA over the last ten years. Snip-its from a community perspective by Brian Rogers, University of Alaska Fairbanks Chancellor.

“...For the last two decades, most of the state’s investment in higher education has been in Anchorage: the University of Alaska Anchorage library, the UAA parking garage, the UAA integrated science building, the UAA health science building.

I don’t begrudge Anchorage the money, as it needs and deserves a good university. So does Fairbanks. It’s time for our state to invest in UAF.

Let’s take a look at some of the new buildings that have gone up on the Fairbanks campus during the past 15 years.

• We built the Biological Research and Diagnostics Building and the West Ridge Research Building — mostly with university-generated revenue.

• We built the UA Museum of the North — mostly with private contributions and some state money.

• We built the Student Recreation Center — with student fees.

• We completed the Akasofu Building, which houses the International Arctic Research Center — mostly with Japanese funds.

• We upgraded Poker Flat Research Range — with federal funds.

While we are proud of these accomplishments, it has been years since the state has invested heavily in facilities at UAF...”

But carry on. Forums exist so both sides of a story can be told, just not the one supported by facts.

You forgot the fresh crown jewel for the region........... the Community Service Patrol. The CSP runs a van service that picks up chronic inebriates and transports them to appropriate facilities for care.
Didn't one of the Mayor's of _airbanks have his house built with Federal Funds?

That was a great game, UAA with the 81-78 win. It was great to see so many students there, and a lot of them with the Beat The Nooks t-shirts on. I hope all of those students show up at the hockey game.

What was up with the guy with the Seawolf head on the hockey stick, at a BB game? Too funny, but he was having fun.
