The Sicatoka

Head of Officials Greg Shepherd was so mad at all the non-sense in the Minnesota/UNO game that he had his son call a major on Andrew MacWilliam ...

So Carlson is accusing the ND SBoHE of a power grab? There's the pot calling the kettle ...

First time I read that I read "file" as "fill".

So the ND SBoHE suing to keep the Legislature's own last action in tact is somehow challenging the Legislature's power? Is uproarious laughter allowed in the NDSC chamber if the justices are the ones laughing?

Seems our own Don "DaveK" Quixote has found his windmill to tilt at.

And I'm sure the Court isn't happy to see the SL C.U.R. group back there ... again ... after having been sent packing last time.

You snooze, ... They should be prepared to go before the NDSC already. Weren't they there (and lost) a couple months back? PS - I don't think the court is tipping it's hand. It's just playing from the ace down the hand full of trump it holds.

Do they play a bowl game in that stadium? Who sponsors? Scrubbing Bubbles automatic toilet bowl cleaner or White Cloud? I can hear the broadcasters now ... It's a beatiful day here at the Ode to the Commode Bowl, the lid is open. Let's hope nothing overshadows the stadium and drops anything on us ... </broadcaster guy voice>

What "ira" forgot to mention is that the only way to make contacts and meet the people to find a decent job in that town is to attend that party.

Yes, it is. But it's their party. Their rules.

Gee, aren't the Governor and AG both Republicans and aren't they both on the opposite side of Al Carlson on this one?

I don't see why the NCAA would approve Fargo. If UND has the moniker and is not allowed to host NCAA post-season events, doesn't that mean "can't be the home team"?

Fargo Davies 4, Bismarck HS 3, (2OT)

Denver has five home weekends and is hosting their conference tournament. Finding three or four more weekends is possible if revenue is involved. http://www.denverpioneers.com/SportSelect.dbml?&DB_OEM_ID=18600&SPID=10874&SPSID=90261 PS - I looked at the Alerus schedule and many of those events are using the Aurora Ballroom, not the main arena floor. http://www.aleruscenter.com/?page=ViewGoToMonth&GoToYear=2012&GoToMonth=2

They wouldn't, ... unless the NDSC finds a way to shut down both petition drives in their upcoming ruling ...

... or that with a simple letter in 2006 could've ended this (and made Standing Rock's opinion inconsequential).

Are they sure ... ? http://chzupnextinsports.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/funny-sports-pictures-quadruple-facepalm.jpg

You sure are mister positivity when it comes to UND.

Are we sure that DaveK isn't using this as an excuse to abandon UND and finally fully embrace his dark side and become a full-time Minnesota fan?

Yes, but you need to add one caveat to your first paragraph statements: The NCAA asked for affirmative approval from the respective tribes after their Aug 5, 2005 moniker policy announcement. Namesake tribes did that (for FSU, for Utah, for CMU) in 2006. Spirit Lake did not respond and confirm their 2000 action to the NCAA in the timeframe from Aug 5, 2005 to date of the settlement agreement. If Spirit Lake would have even sent a memo from the tribal office to the NCAA in 2006 saying "our 2000 action stands", that would have sufficed and one tribe would've been enough. Two tribes came about as part of the settlement with UND.

OK legal-types, what does this mean? http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/230223/

OK. South Dakota State has stated concerns about the return of the Sioux moniker and has made noise that they may pull out of the 2013 football game.

The Texas Tech game program flap ...

It's come to be expected. No one has answered this. I'm not surprised.

I (using Pontiac as the example) pointed out why "Hawkeyes" wouldn't be sanctioned by the NCAA, namely, the NCAA seems to be OK with derivatives from names of chiefs. You took my comment to relate to corporate sponsorships (and went to Kraft). harrangue - a speech addressed to a public assembly ... (my poor typing / spelling admitted)
