I would expect to see a press conference called for tomorrow announcing at the very least a site visit by the Summit League.

Just heard on KFGO that the ND Board of Higher Education has voted today to DROP the Fighting Sioux nickname. More to come...

Didn't see this anywhere... linky

My understanding is that there is also a provision allowing for the player to play right away at a "new" school, if that player attends classes at a junior college during the USHL year (in this case), and obtains an associates degree.

Burkett was not named a finalist. Another poster expressed disappointment that he wasn't, but must have deleted the post.

Yeah, that's pretty much what could have been inferred from the post you replied to.

From Brad's Blog: Headline on Forum on-line story: Either there is lots of wishful thinking in Moorhead (Fargo), or someone has bad info, or McLoed is lying.

Didn't know you were the fake jersey police. I hope you're going back through all of these threads that mention anything about collector items such as jerseys, pictures, bobbleheads, etc. and you'll point out to us what is fake and what isn't. Are the jerseys that AZSioux makes and sells (not to pick on AZSioux, as I have some of his merchandise ) authentic? Since they are not produced by the school, or the team, or anyone affiliated with the team, I would say no. So? They're still cool and I'm glad I have one. Guess that's up to me. Guess what... I clicked on the link Brasco provided and didn't buy anything. Until you said he was "advertising", I didn't even think about that. Just wanted to check out the link about the jersey had had purchased. I don't see the point of reading more into it than that.

What is Brasco "advertising"? He bought a jersey he liked on Ebay. No harm in that.

Were you able to get what you paid for your tickets refunded? That's happened to me, too, and I'm "caucasion", at least I think I am anyway. I used to take it as the checkout girls not wanting to hit on me. I guess they were just being racist.

Only at UND. Anywhere else, as I understand it, he'd have one year. If he plays college hockey next year, it will be at UND.

So, why, then, is your name on here MplsBison and not MplsNDSU? Your purpose here is what? You have been talking in circles for the last two days on this issue, basically re-stating the same points. I don't see what you're adding to the conversation. Your rebuttals are always something to the effect of "you are wrong, I am right". I also don't see how you can possibly care so much about UND's nickname, or what conference UND gets into. At least up to this post? Call me confused, I guess.

Talk about a regional, "niche" sport. wow Maybe someone should tell them the tv ratings might have had something to do with the combination of the heat, humidity, the RAIN, and not so much the athletic ability of the girls. Some national radio shows referred to the matches as "wet t-shirt contest on prime time tv". (Not that there's anything wrong with that. (as my wife is looking over my shoulder))

Nice stretch.

http://www.fightingsioux.com/ViewArticle.d...;ATCLID=3724157 Our call came from Ben Blood this year. Great of those kids to take the time to do this, even though it's "required" of them.

I have no graphic abilities beyond what is in my mind (or programs to try anything) but was wondering how a BOLDED script U that is very prominent, italicized and large enough to have the "ND" (interlocking or not) inside would look. Make sense??

This has absolutely nothing to do with Sarah Palin. It's not as simple as nickname supporters=Republicans; opponents=Democrats.

Come on. Next you're going to say someone did a flying knee drop, an elbow smash, or even a camel clutch on somebody.

One oddity is that his brother is at Harvard. Family has to value education at some level, then.

All the NBA-like tats?

agreed. Who would have thought this morning that I'd waste a bunch of time researching this topic??

I realize that... that's what I used to think. However, look at their press releases. http:\\www.soundtigers.com Do a google search. Bizarro. Maybe someone from out there can explain. The only reason I wonder about this is because the blip that Dan Hammer has been reading on 740 The Fan all day says Bridgeport SOUND Tigers (like the CFL's "Tiger-Cats"), and not Bridgeport Sound TIGERS, as I thought it would be. Had the time to kill so I've been looking on Google to prove Dan wrong... can't seem to do it.

Good luck to Duncan! He'll be my 8 yo's favorite for a long, long time. So, WTF is a "Sound Tiger"? Will we soon have "Smell Lions"? Or "Sight Eagles"? Or "Taste Bears"? Seriously?? "Sound Tigers"? I obviously don't get it.
