The Sicatoka

Some great reading in there .... Wait a minute here .... how can this be? That reads like they stick it to each other for being different. I thought only "whitey" (the 'wasicu' for those of you speaking Siouan dialects) stuck it to Native Americans.

Merry Christmas everyone! http://www.lakotafreedom.com/

This really deserves a thread all by itself. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,317548,00.html

They're hoping to get on Kim Jong-Il's calendar in North Korea before the year ends.

You missed a word in there.

He ate a good breakfast.

With no treaty: .... Doesn't that mean the US State Department would have to negotiate the Sioux nickname*? and more importantly .... Doesn't that mean we're still at war? Where's William T. Sherman when you need him .... The bad news for Ron McNeil (aka His Horse is Thunder): Today's 7th Cavalry has armor. * states can't negotiate with foreign entities

How can you not feel the love in that? However, I still say ....

The exact opposite was true just five years ago. Sad how quickly this has changed (from the college perspective). The WCHA needs to quit living in the past and keep up with the times: If you want to keep sending guys to the pros you have to call it like the pros.

If this is true, it'll be interesting to hear what he says affected his decision. My observation: He seemed to get a lot of "attention" (code word for WCHA sanctioned hooking, holding, and interference) from other teams this year. My assumption: He could either fight through it or go play in a league where they've cleaned it up and he gets paid. Tough choice .... My analysis: The WCHA's quest for league parity has made it a parody of a league. My solution: Get the no-talent clutch-and-grab hacks, who specialize not in controlling pucks but interfering with those who can, off the backs of the truely talented players (like Vanek, Parise, Kessel, Toews, Oshie, Duncan). Start calling this league like real men, like professionals, like the National Hockey League. I believe I just called Bruce McLeod, and his staff, and his officials, little boys and girls because adults do what's right and best even if it's not popular.

Seems how clinics are run is how they run businesses ... they get the work on a preferred supplier contract and then can't follow instruction on how to build (how to weave!) body armor for American soldiers.

I do, but I also try to wear them selectively. What I'll never have is yellow pants or socks, 'cause you know how you get those .... (whizz) ....

That story seems more suited to coming from North Korea .... Would that pretty much make a "Ron McNeil (aka His Horse Is Thunder)" equivalent to a Kim Jong-Il?

I have to ask .... I'm hearing $15-20 million for the indoor training facility. Seems a reasonable estimate. Putting in an outdoor track and soccer facility ... I'm guessing $3-5 million? The cost of a second ramp (a must if you lose parking to a soccer field) should be pretty easy: What'd the first ramp (west of Columbia Road) cost? $5-10 million? Anyone know the number? The question is: What does 25000 seat stadium with a football field and a retractable roof cost? I'm guessing that complex is $200 million at least.

Ya'know, that's the most rational thing I've ever seen you post. I'm impressed. Back to this thread: I'll take Ryan C, Josh M, or even Tyler R, over any of these names. Why? They've proven they can do it for real. Beyond that it's a crapshoot. We've all seen "can't miss" end up as busts; we've all seen walk-ons become legendary.

Clarified your post there. Like I said before, I want the "band members" not their "managers" to tell me their opinion. Let the tribe vote. If they choose to disregard the wishes of the tribal leaders in the 1960s, so be it. I will learn who they are by their actions. And I will respond accordingly.

Dear TRex, Did you get permission from the British rock band to use their name? Did you get it in writing? Did they give it to you? Did you even ask? If not, you should stop. No, you must stop. Only that group can decide how their name should be used. You must stop. You must change. You are immoral if you do not. Their name is their name and you shouldn't use it for your personal entertainment. (Hopefully you're a student of irony and satire. If not, that just flew over your head.)

He'd be competing with Josh Murray and Catlin Solum for time. I'm not too surprised either.

What kind? Rice? Vegetable? Pasta? The kind you get at a coffee shop (steamed milk)? Dang, now I'm hungry as a horse .... DANG that "PCM"! He has horses on my brain too ....

Ah, the path to retirement, or in his case ... Saigo-path.

Two great quotes, one from each piece (in order): Myles Brand, David Gipp, and the rest of their ilk have an ambition ....

Dear ND (and National) Media, In your idealistic pursuit of destruction of the "Fighting Sioux" moniker, you've lost sight of the only thing keeping you in business: The First Amendment. Destroy that, by demanding made up rights such as control of public domain words to select groups, and you threaten your own freedom and existence. And your co-conspirators in this are "academics", another group that should be defending The First Amendment, not tearing in to it. The irony here would be laughable if not so dangerously stark. Destroy free speech? Can't happen you say? Look north. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/printpage...mark_steyn.html Today's version of the Canadian "Human Rights Tribunal" is called the NCAA Executive Committee. And tomorrow brings another day, and another chip at the base of your right to exist. Enjoy, for when free speech and thus free press falls, I will not speak out for no one spoke for me. Signed, A "Fighting Sioux" fan (for as long as I can still legally say that)

Because they're not adjoining states (that almost took your head coach a year ago)?

You stole Oshie's car?

If your recruiting is based on getting the other guy's wish list, how in the world do you keep any balance on your own roster? Your needs can't always match the other guy's needs. Sure you'll go head-to-head at times as common needs align, but not all of the time. As far as recruiting Montana, given the turmoil in Missoula and Bozeman right now finding a couple kids who want a stable program with no dark clouds hanging over it probably isn't too hard. And Lennon got some very positive press out there when he was a finalist for the MSU-Boseman job. Montana probably isn't a primary area, but if you can go in and cherry-pick while Montana and Montana State work through their legal and administrative issues, why not?
