    NCAA gives FSU a pass

    in UND Nickname

    Again how many times do we have to have this discussion that one or two people dont speak or act for the entire tribe unless they are elected to do so.

    OK, let's talk about tribal government. When a new leader comes in and everyone gets fired, I guess the new leaders are speaking for the whole tribe. ;)

    There is no documentation of that at the time the name was changed.

    Are you kidding me? I am not going to waste my time responding to each of your points for two reasons. First, you wrote as if the Sioux American Indians only have one voice and opinion. I haven't seen your posts before so I don't even know if you are an American Indian. Second, you have got to be out of your mind to complain about documentation. What kind of documentation do American Indians use? Why do American Indians discourage people outside their culture from writing things down that they say? You either have no clue what you are saying, or you were hoping that I didn't know what I was talking about. Either way, I hope everyone realizes that your post was meaningless.

    Bobbleheads or other promotions?

    01grad would have to be included too. Anyone who falls all the way down the stairs and tears his hands up at the Old Ralph only to stay for the game deserves some props. :huh:

    If we go by "legends," I was there before you Diggler. I remember the year you guys started sitting in front of me. I don't want to be a bobble head though. ;)

    Maybe they are the sellouts. If he/she truly answers like that, then it isn't even worth the time to talk with them. I don't know about other fields of study, but there are no other schools in the area that would integrate the Native American cultures into the academic work. Does that mean UND sold out, or all the other schools sold out?

    Now that I am somewhat removed from UND, I feel comfortable breaking my silence. I have worked with a lot of American Indians and it has been part of my training since I was at UND. It has been great to work with American Indians. A good majority of them are so caring and their Native American culture has a lot of advantages, such as the ceremonies used when a death occurs. I went to a classmate's party that is American Indian and her whole family welcomed me and congratulated me on my graduation. They did more than my family would ever do for a guest.

    I have heard many stereotypical comments and questions. "I bet you deal with a lot of alcoholics." You know what, it was about the same number of alcoholics and drug abuses that are white veterans of this country. While there were ignorant comments made, the only real racism I saw this year was from American Indians. Yes people, it happens both ways and it isn't right either way. Fortunately there was an American Indian what was willing to stand up and point out what these people were doing. So like everything in life, there are people on both sides of an issue.

    I have seen several American Indians wearing Fighting Sioux clothing in several areas of the Dakotas. What kind of protest is that? UND is doing research on schools that have changed their American Indian names. As far as I know, there have not been any findings suggesting that anything negative was occuring with the name used, or anything positive gained when the name changed. So I ask anyone that really wants the Fighting Siouxname gone, what is it about? Explain to me why you want the name changed. Don't even try to claim you are speaking for everyone, because I have firsthand experience that says otherwise. Why does the Sioux name mean something bad in some cases, yet it is proudly used by American Indians in other cases? Also, flip it around and assume that UND will always be the Fighting Sioux. If that is the case, what could UND and the community do to make you proud that UND is the Fighting Sioux? For those American Indians that want to answer, please feel to PM me or reply here.

    ESPN will be switching to DD 5.1 soon, although that isn't hockey related anymore. I hope OLN-HD or something else comes soon. If the games are put on INHD, many areas will be left without HD hockey. It would be interesting if the Gophers would have their hockey in HD. I would really hope that this is something REA will do soon.

    Is this just a ratings systerm and you make the players yourself?

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    No, they will make the players with the updates. It also can mean that you will lose some players if they have left the team or retired. You can still edit players after the update if you want. It is very nice to have the updates, they just need to have them more often.

    How?  Each team only had like five guys signed to them for when they had to start producing the game.  They should just wait a month or so and get the players on the proper teams.

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    They release roster updates online for both consoles. They will release one shortly after opening night so they can have Crosby and the other rookies in the game.
