  1. Why does Michigan lead with 6 cstv games and why do they have UM vs UND on CSTV when it is on Foc sports? Adam is an idiot. I say let everybody overlook us and then we will see what happens.
  2. Is this game on tv or the web cast?
  3. I am not holding my breath but it is finally time that the band got some good to happen in the REA.
  4. Just thnk what the left could accomplish if it put all this time into something important.
  5. So what would happen if we changed the name to the fighting Dakotan's and kept the logo?
  6. Gov. Bush: NCAA insults Seminoles From staff and wire reports Florida Gov. Jeb Bush criticized NCAA officials Tuesday for their decision to penalize Florida State University for using an American Indian nickname and symbols. Bush said the Seminole Tribe of Florida supports FSU's use of its name, and NCAA officials had insulted the school and Seminole Indians by calling the nickname "hostile" and "abusive." "I think they insult those people by telling them, 'No, no, you're not smart enough to understand this. You should be feeling really horrible about this.' It's ridiculous," Bush said. An NCAA official previously said other Seminole tribes were opposed to the use of the name. Tuesday, NCAA spokesman Bob Williams said officials believe their decision was made on sound legal ground. "We recognize this is an emotional issue in Florida, and in other parts of the country there are people who feel just as strongly being opposed," Williams said. The university has until Feb. 1 to make a formal appeal to the NCAA executive committee. Eighteen schools have an American Indian logo or mascot that will be prohibited by the NCAA during postseason events, starting in February.
  7. Fla. State vows to keep Seminoles nickname By Steve Wieberg, USA TODAY Florida State supporters ratcheted up opposition Wednesday to the NCAA's controversial new restrictions on Native American nicknames and references. Determined to preserve "Seminoles" as a nickname and Chief Osceola as a mascot, FSU's board of trustees authorized an appeal and positioned the school for a legal challenge in the event it's denied. Rep. Tom Feeney, R-Fla., decrying what he called "political correctness run amuck," threatened to take the fight to Congress. NCAA President Myles Brand defended its stand, approved by the executive committee last week. "I don't see them having second thoughts," he told USA TODAY. "One of the key objectives we had was to generate a conversation of some seriousness about these issues on the individual campuses. And I think in each and every case, we have succeeded." But Brand pointed to the possibility of modifying the guidelines. FSU, he said, "might want to consider (proposing) an amendment that narrowly addresses their issues. Florida State might say if an institution has well-documented approval by the local Native American tribe or group and that is the tribe or group that they will represent and not all Native Americans, then under those narrow conditions I think the executive committee may decide they want to seriously consider such an amendment." FSU was one of 18 schools deemed by the NCAA to be using "hostile or abusive" Native American nicknames, mascots or logos. Starting Feb. 1, their teams must cover any offending references on their uniforms at NCAA championships, and schools scheduled to host such events similarly must cover images and references at the site. The 18 schools won't be awarded future championships. FSU's trustees also authorized the hiring of attorney Barry Richard, who represented President Bush in the 2000 Florida recount. "If we decide that (NCAA) process is unfair and lacks due process," trustee John Thrasher said, "then I think we ought to sue 'em."
  8. You do not know what you are talking about.
  9. Traded defenseman Mike Commodore to the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for a third-round pick in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft.
  10. Any ideas who they would play? May be New Jersey or the Flames.
  11. This might be alittle late but I lived in GF, Fargo and The Cities and Fargo was the most boring place to live. I left every weekend to do something. You can't compare Fargo and the cities maybe St Cloud or Duluth to Fargo. Has far as NDSU being DI no one outside of Fargo will care. NDSU thinks that they will get to play the gophers in football but no body will care.

  16. Who would put a bid for the Target Center? That makes no sence.
  17. The Gophers are going down they are not playing Michigan which they played the last frozen fours. The gophers are not that good and we will win.
  18. Did anyone else read the article about BU and ND . It said ND only had 6 NC it is nice that they research before writing I am happy that the best hockey annocers are doing the BU/ND game.
