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.

Fixed it for ya buddy.

OK. Thanks. You are right. Interesting Times.

Did the contract actually state UND would drop the nickname if they didn't win approval. I seriously don't know.

And no where in that contract does it say UND can't be known as the Fighting Sioux. So it wouldn't be impairing any contract.

Having the State of ND have a university be the "fighting Sioux" is impairing a contract? To much legalese crap for me. But we all know the United States Congress passes many things "unconstitutional" that seem to stay "law"...."obamacare," etc etc etc http://wiki.answers....nconstitutional The thing about "law" and what that means is it always changes and is just peoples "opinion" (federal judges) and changes with the times (liberal vs conservative judges being appointed).....odd isn't it that one court finds obamacare unconstitutional but another court might not? (supreme court vs the rest)....my point...its a crazy lawed world.

UND will be forced to drop athletics! UND will continue to play Mayville St, Jamestown, and Minot St no matter what division they belong too. This is a non point because D2 is still NCAA and the same sanction would apply, whether it is the NSIC or the MVFC/Summit. Being Independent or being D2 would probably save the athletic department millions versus traveling all over the country getting to Big Sky destinations.
