And the D/L/Nakota people do claim it when it is a French or Ojibwe word? How does that work?

You already can today. You are chosing not to. You have self-segregated. And it's a shame. Wasn't there a problem not that long ago with inappropriate behavior in/near a tipi? The concept you propose seems not far off from the same.

Are all Irish people insulted when something similar to that is tossed Notre Dame's way? Are all Germanic peoples insulted when "Vandals suck" is tossed U of Idaho's way? Vandal -- a member of the Germanic people ... (www.cogsci.princeton.edu/cgi-bin/webwn) People who say things like that self-identify as poor fans (cheer for your team, not against the other). You can't fix them until they identify themselves.

Can someone explain to me how the D/L/Nakota people "own" a word, much less a word that is derived from French and Ojibwe origins?

That's no poll. The methodology is scientifically accepted practice for surveys done by a nationally respected survey agency, Peter Harris Research Group, Inc. (They put their name and reputation on it.) That wasn't a survey in the hallway.

Reasons for keeping? Because the majority of Native Americans say it should not change.

UND provided 130 athletic scholarships last year. 80 Native students got diversity waivers. There were 400 diversity waivers. By your own words, Natives Americans got about 20% of the diversity waivers, right? And there were three times the number of diversity waivers than athletic scholarships. How do those numbers look in comparisons? You are a student at a major American university. You don't exactly seem to be living on your knees as you'd like to claim.

Graham, you have your point of view. It seems to not align to the majority of Native Americans.

Mr. Enno is Chippewa, and thus enrolled at Turtle Mountain. I believe his spouse is Sioux. What is your response to Greg Holy Bull, a Lakota Sioux man and supporter of the name? I assume you mean "wasicu" in a pure adjective, unbiased, unbigoted way. I'm sure you intend it in the same manner in which you refer to yourself as "Kracker." And howling won't change anything.

Wasn't part of the rationale for putting the soccer field where it is to keep the area immediately north of the Medical School relatively undeveloped in case the Medical School expanded? If that was the goal, they've accomplished it.

Whew! At least we know a state legislator won't have to ask for the Can-Am record book to be re-written.

True, but this, says he'd have a lot of competition for time at WR also.

Adam got around that by calling boarding:

With leadership and vision like that and Don "ad lib" Adam what more can you ask for? Let me be blunt: Screw "supplementary discipline". UAA should have had a major power play against Wisconsin. UND should have had a major power play against Denver. How can I say that? "Supplementary discipline" tells me so. (Both minor calls were later upgraded to majors.) Call the right penalty the first time and you don't need "supplementary discipline".

Anyone have the tape? I'm pretty sure they swapped out the D as well as all three forwards.

Backup? I thought the term was "shill", or "pimp".

I think they all should wear 28 pound boat anchors attached to their helmets for the Frozen Four.

Someone's not in on the inside joke.

It's spelled "Leinenkugel's".

Good guests are politely respectful of their hosts.

Oooooh, ouch. Good one. PCM tell you to say that?

Would you prefer "Evil Gophers"? "Gehenna Gophers"?

It'd still be a neutral site CCHA rink, so why not go near the geographic middle: Qwest Center in Omaha?
