It is pretty sad that the SBOHE is trying to undermine the people of North Dakota.

and then there will be appeal after appeal?

Is the alumni association going to have a stern talk with the uninformed fraternity members on U avenue and Columbia road with the banner hanging outside claiming "save the fighting sioux"?

In case you forgot...Despite the nickname "controversy" last year UND set a record for donations: Most athletic programs already run in the red. Maybe UND could run in the red like them and still build a IPF.

Thanks.

He has talked to the Sac St president about this issue...and says.....it pretty unlikely they would get every president to agree to kick UND out.

He gives a lil jab to the "the sky is falling crowd" about the nickname. Says even if UND keeps the nickname, over the long run, they won't have a problem filling schedules, and things will "work themselves out."

He basically said "whatever." Hopes UND resolves the nickname issue, but the conference doesn't really have a stance on the nickname.

Is there a way to see more recent posts made by a member after you click on their name and then "posts." It currently shows the five most recent. I was just wondering if there was something I missed and you can see more of the recent posts? Thanks.

And this is why the Sioux are college hockey.

Hockey City USA, BABY!

and he was getting at...he doesn't necessarily agree. He was pointing out donors probably specifically mentioned "hey I want my donation to go to the IPF."

Versus not playing the game at all? As is the current situation?

It's funny. People always seem to say this, but when you actually look at things that indicate a rival: attendance, and not people saying, this team is not really a rival. It becomes a different story. The UND game set an attendance record at the Amsoil Arena. Not only that more fans came to watch UND for the weekend series than they did against Minnesota: 13,550 vs 13535

So should Faison say "Hey I am sorry." You know what why not play every other year. Its better than nothing. Let's schedule it. Why demand something with NDSU that UND doesn't demand with any other team?

Hello...is anyone out there? NDSU lost their defensive coordinator to USC. I am excited to watch the Sioux play. The days are counting down. Anyone wanna start a pool for when the IPF will be announced?

Central will always be disadvantaged because its two blocks from a state border. How long before Grand Forks has to build a new south end high school?

I have stayed at the Embassy Suites a few times in downtown St. Paul. They have a shuttle that runs back and forth to the X. They also have a free happy hour or two before the games!!! All you can drink!! Not to mention a complimentary cook to order breakfast. They hire security guards to literally run around the building at night during these events. So I guess its not as crazy as the Holiday Inn... http://embassysuites...MRK02CSGBIYMVCQ

Gave up on the student athletes? Anyone recruited knows there is no chance at home playoff ncaa sanctioned games(at least the ones recruited from here on out). This is about the fans wanting to see winners. Not about caring for the student athletes.

I made this comment to a friend a while ago. Empty seats really stand out on tv.

This is about UND's new hockey conference, not about future nonconference schedules.

I don't think so. There is an unwritten rule basically that if a team needs a conference it is their duty to take them in.

It is fun.

Funny how it changes. Wisconsin came out with their policy before the NCAA came out with the H&A abusive list!

Sadly that was going to be my guess.
