What a coin flip, give me a break, the state legislature is way out of bounds on this, don't they have a full enough of a plate with the financial challenges in this state. This reminds me of the ND Attorney General siouxing the NCAA over the SIOUX name and logo. What other U in the country would have their state attorney general file suit? None, the U would handle it themselves. UND and NDSU, together should put this to sleep, maybe by permanently awarding it to the school that wins the first MVFC game, since it was awarded at the annual conference game? That would be fair in that the schedule is not out yet and therefore the home team is unknown. The Nickel does not belong in Bismarck, it should be on one of the campuses.

That debacle as you say was a complete embarrassment for ND. At the time I was already slowly becoming a fan of the Fighting Hawks name and logo, but during those protests is when I gave up on the SIOUX, especially being Standing Rock didn't help us with retaining the SIOUX name years ago. Sure I have lots of UND apparel, and will still wear them, but more for like memory of some great times (not for like some sign of protest) while supporting the Hawks. When the new name first came out and later the logo, I had some negative comments. Now, it's growing on me and I can say I accept it. Time will heal the wound from the name and logo change for many, UND is more important that the logo.

And I watched that trio loose in St. Lious.

Some of you need to take a break and go fishing!!! You might learn to troll and then do it on a different board. Final year in Big Sky coming, should be exciting!

I'm planning on driving, we need a good turnout. This could be a tough game as a visitor after last years huge come back over SD in GF.

There was a pool in the Fieldhouse before they added the pool you are talking about. Those BB games with SU in the Fieldhouse were something to die for back in the day. Many standing room only attendees at the games. SU always had a large section on one end. The two fan bases under one roof was a treat, that's probably the part I miss the most.

The vote can be in favor to keep it over and over, but in these situations, once the vote goes the other way, it's over for good.

That was the start to bottled water for me and now it's everywhere!

That was the biggest spanking I ever got. And ya, it sure doesn't seem like 20 years ago. Those free meals were very good and much appreciated!

stat·ute of lim·i·ta·tions I missed a t. That is pretty good to find something on Seinfeld that makes this case. Siouxphan27, you made me laugh, like many times before. I admire your humor, you are good!

Just keep swinging away.

Not just fans, people are scratching their head, the TWINS?

If St. Louis wins? That should set some precedence? Maybe Minn can sure the NHL for losing the North Stars? I don't think statue of limitations runs out on things like this and murder?

Tightened up, going to be a great race!

AND, we did loose 2 old conferences....

RIP

Move sports off campus? what a joke!

Good days ahead for UND sports. President Kennedy wants competitive teams. UND sports are the front porch of the U, that is a great way of saying it. Sports are a big asset to the U: Marketing the U and even the region/state Recruiting students, professors, administrators, coaches, and etc. Greatly adds to a student's experiences while at school Helps motivate alumni/friends to make donations Provide a great form of entertainment for the community/region The fans create a passion for the sports and there is a gratification they get back. This gratification is increased with a sport that's a winner and Kennedy is moving in that direction.

Checking will never be allowed, just like UND will never drop WH.

There's no vacancies in the Med School.

I don't think UND had basketball camps in the late 60's, reason I'm saying is, because the year after I graduated from high school, my brothers went somewhere in SD for a baketball camp? Correct me if I'm wrong?

My mother is having a great week!

Very possible

We'll miss him, good luck Shanks!

Yesterday proved that WH had no preferential treatment this week by the U, or The Ralph, or at least so far. The Ralph has been very quiet. WH could save us the most money. The swimming and diving teams were added to get us to our goal. Considering the future of UND sports with the Summit and MVFC, this seems to be the most logical move. The AD seemed to earn his keep this week? Was surprised President Kennedy took the AD's recommendation in full. Now the B1Gh in my opinion, is not going to happen with UND in the foreseeable future. The timing was right for any affiliation to be addressed now, and it wasn't; being Notre Dame starts hockey in the B1G next fall. Maybe we were never asked or maybe things just couldn't get worked out with these budget cuts. Most likely UND was not confronted? I think overall this week went pretty good, especially when the process tries to keep the cat in the bag as long as possible. In short, UND's remaining sports will be better funded with less sports. I'm looking forward to the Summit and MVFC.
