  1. Central time zone teams in a predominantly eastern time zone conference seldom move back westward. It's a "television" thing I suspect.
  2. Trivia time: UND's Athletic Director was previously the Athletic Director at _______. Hint:
  3. Jesse Taken Alive and Ron His Horse is Thunder poisoned the political environment at Standing Rock such that the council voted no. They won there. So, in response, some of you will stop donating to UND. Do you really want to give those two a second win? Folks, the best victory will be for UND to continue to succeed without the Sioux moniker. Then JTA and RHHiT really lose.
  4. Well, for a while, yes, according to this: http://www.venuworks.com/about_news_detail.cfm?id=28
  5. Ah-ha. Finally, someone has said it. No one wants to be seen "just like" Mr. E. He was tarred and feathered because he supported the name and built a rink in tribute to it. And nobody likes their name drug through the mud. Now, if someone had the chance to be seen riding in on a (virtual) white horse with a great donation in UND's greatest time of need, namely, post-moniker, that person would forever be remembered as a great savior from strife. Who wouldn't want that perception tied to them? (And they wouldn't get tarred like Mr. E did by the Leigh Jeanottes of the world because the moniker is gone.)
  6. Clearly not. Eskimos are indiginous peoples --> Right back on the "Myles Brand" list.
  7. And a chaser! And a bonus, because it's the month we're all looking forward to ...
  8. Kenny, Michael, and their "Brothers" had this figured out long, long ago ... "Sioux", she's gone. What we believe we created it "never made her think twice". http://www.lyricsfreak.com/d/doobie+brothers/what+a+fool+believes_20042480.html
  9. First, his name is Robert O. Kelley. Next, Tom Clifford actually stated that if he couldn't get the tribal councils to support the name even he'd have to change it. Folks, the name was dead the minute the settlement agreement called for *both* Sioux tribes in ND having to approve it. The chance of Standing Rock approving it has never been good.
  10. He would do what administrators in his position always do: Follow the Benjamins.
  11. Regulating dust on a farm ... Waiter, check please.
  12. The NCAA selects the facility that its post-season games are played in. To not allow REA due to Indian related imagery but not hold that standard regarding United Center would open the NCAA to legitimate question. And I'm just talking buildings here, not teams.
  13. I'll guess the one in the toughest financial shape.
  14. "The event had a strong voting contingent throughout the bracket, and rightly so." Uh, ... voting? Bracket? When? Where? That's about all that needs to be said.
  15. The NCAA is "concerned" about the imagery in the facility. The host wouldn't matter if the imagery is the issue. The NCAA will just not choose a facility with such imagery, no matter the host. Of course, by taking that stance they daren't allow an NCAA event to be played in United Center in Chicago else they open themselves to charges of hypocricy and possibly even legal action from who knows which directions.
  16. That's really not the story. In the first OT he made a key 20+ yard catch over the middle to get the drive deep into Montreal territory. In the second OT he made another catch of about 20 yards to get it down to the 1 yard line. On the next play he caught the game-winning TD. Those of us with it watched it on NFL Network in HD. Unfortunately, Donovan Alexander got a lot of screen time too ... because Montreal's QB was throwing at him, and being relatively successful. Tim Tibesar was there coaching Montreal's linebackers. http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/167361/
  17. Having read the article about Berry to Columbus I think "no" is a safe answer.
  18. And Number 16 goes into the rafters ... "The NIFA championship is the equivalent to the NCAA Championships for athletics," said Bruce Smith, dean of the John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences. 16 out of 26 ... that's pretty good.
