  2. Oh, they have a price. They always do. We will know who they are by their actions. I'd rather deal with the sword (and legacy of a man) in here in "SEC. 4 (a) (3) (B) (i)" here.
  3. The last sentence in this story explains so much ... No wonder I felt like Lucy and Holly were reading from the same playbook. They are.
  4. I'll take a late 60s/70s/early 80s horn band (like Chicago or EWF) over any of the funeral dirge sounding, unmelodic, whiny-lyrics drivvel put out during and since the "Seattle" (out of key, sloppy) sound. And yes, look out, I just might tell you how I really feel about it. And AG isn't good enough to play for Chicago or EWF either.
  5. Do not "dis" Chicago; and do not "dis" their "Greek Theater" parallel act. That's probably the most fun concert I've watched on a television.
  6. How could you guys leave out or
  7. Who's dumber in that case: - Laney for doing it - the 40-some who fell for it. Next time they should offer free hits of this new drug.
  8. Now I know you're kidding because I heard that Diggler skates on a line with Duncan and Oshie in practice.
  9. You'll have to find a pub in a surrounding Midco town like Harwood, Mapleton, Casselton, or Horace. Parts of West Fargo have gone Midco just recently also. You'll have to do some legwork but it's possible.
  10. They didn't know CC'd come out with more fire on Saturday? They didn't know they'd have to come out even stronger, and for a full 60, on Saturday? Yes, CC had some spark; but where was the Friday UND team? What the **** are these guys doing after a Friday home win that they look that sluggish and slow on Saturday? It needs to get fixed now.
  11. Playoffs? Let's not get ahead of ourselves. There's UND@USD and UNO@CWU before that. After those two UND needs to hang part of an NCC banner. Yes, I just predicted what I predicted.
  12. My crack sources tell me that "Sundogs" was first proposed by BRIDGES, hence, immediate elimination from consideration. I say Teddy Roosevelt was a great man.
  13. Let's see, when Hak's contract got done Kupchella was in Slobovia (I think that's right ). Only one other person has an office in that suite of offices on 3rd floor Twamley. I'd guess Hak just tipped his hand on who got a contract done for Hak. Thanks to the UND Vice President of General Administration. (I'd speculated before that it was Harmeson; this confirms my beliefs.)
  14. From the Chronicle of Higher Education issue dated November 2, 2007: Ouch. Some excerpts? Toxic? Toxic? Is that worse than "hostile and abusive"? Oh, that's right, UND isn't (never was) that and the NCAA admits it. That just doesn't seem to be a good environment for a female student to find a fellow-female educational role model to pursue higher education under the guidance of. That's really a shame. Not good PR for the state. Source: http://chronicle.com Section: The Faculty Volume 54, Issue 10, Page A6
  15. Isn't there supposed to be some "Paid for by the elect Rob Bollinger committee" thingy at the end of that.
  16. If I were Kupchella all I'd tell them is: "Well, just write "UND Athletic Endowment" there, put "Donation" in the memo, and sign it there. Don't worry about filling the rest in. I'll take care of that, and you'll find out after it clears."
  17. Free tickets to Ozzy! http://www.in-forum.com/articles/index.cfm...mp;section=news Then again, make sure you're in "good standing" with PDL Productions before going. Anyone seen "DaveK" since yesterday.
  18. Ya mean like .... http://siouxsports.com/forums/index.php?s=...st&p=281634
  19. You do realise that "L'Etoile du Nord" (The Star of the North) is the state motto of MINNESOTA.
  20. Forget about history and you will repeat it. History is replete with examples. Humanity lever learns. We choose to ignore or forget unpleasant chapters in history. Humanity destroyed Rome, gave us the Huns, went on the Crusades, brought us Ghengis Khan, destroyed native North American peoples from the Aztecs to the Illini, tried to annihilate Jews from Europe, and today has Sunni killing Shi'i, Bosnian killing Serb, Hutu killing Tutsis. In each case the cause was the same. Humanity tried to destroy other humanity that was different from it. Humanity never learns because it refuses to look upon and learn from history that is unpleasant. "That could never happen again," is a phrase that I am sure has echoed through history in reference to genocide. Some people disagree with the moniker at the University of North Dakota as insensitive or oppressive, or "hostile and abusive". I believe those people are missing the point. When I hear "Fighting Sioux" I hear man's inhumanity to man. I hear the story of killing people because they are different because I know the history of the Sioux. I hear of people and true Warriors standing up against genocide. Maybe if more people knew and understood "Fighting Sioux" in the 1930s and 1940s the atrocities of World War II would have been stopped sooner. Maybe if more people knew and understood "Fighting Sioux" in the 1990s the genocide in the Balkans and Africa draws more attention and is drawn to a conclusion. Maybe if more people understood who the "Fighting Sioux" and the (real) "Fighting Illini" and the "Seminoles" are, maybe we could use those words to rally a true change in human history. "Fighting Sioux" is a harsh reminder to all of us of the inhumanity that humanity can lay upon itself. Removing the moniker would merely serve to again shield our eyes from an unpleasant chapter in the history of humanity rather than having to face a constant reminder and learn from the mistakes of humanity's history. What do I do to honor the "Fighting Sioux"? I remember them, and how they got here by fighting against inhumanity and genocide. The only sad part? Some people will hear it only as a slogan off of a jersey.
