Do you know if they intend to still play the School song. I don't see anything wrong with having the team gather in the endzone as the Nickelback song is playing with an intro video. They could break into the school song immediately after all the players make it to the sideline.

A good song, but definitely don't want to do this one as I believe it is used by a certain school 70 miles to south of Grand Forks...

I agree about the entrance, not sure about Nickleback but if it's done right it can be very intimidating. Here is the VT intro... EDIT: I actually went to youtube and did a search for college football entrance songs. Most of the FBSschools do have some kind of a video and song intro. Most of them break into the school song immediately after. Watching all those videos has got me pumped for football season to start! Can't wait for the Sioux home opener!!!

Bison win...4-3. Sioux scored first followed by 4 straight Bison goal. The Sioux rallied late but ran out of time. Nice to have a bit of the rivalry back.

Sad news for a former DII Star running back. I believe he played a game in GF in 1986 or there abouts... http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/172745/group/homepage/

The women open their season today against the Bison. Game can be watched online... http://www.fightingsioux.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=58684&SPID=6405&DB_LANG=C&DB_OEM_ID=13500&ATCLID=204980295

Well I guess that means we will end up with the Summit...you know since the Minority tends to get their way I voted for Summit/MVFC for the reasons which you have already stated.

In the spirit of the Fargo Marathon taking place tomorrow, I thought I would revive this old thread. Is anyone planning on running any of the races tonight or tomorrow? I will be running the second leg of the relay (8.3 miles). I will also be sure to be wearing my Sioux gear!

I guess I didn't read anything in the article that states Hoeven recommends reversing the decision should Standing Rock vote. He states the Board should give it consideration. I don't interpret that as reversing the decision.

Here is a link to the information that KVLY reported on. http://www.valleynewslive.tv/artman2/publi...ews/17813.shtml Pretty much says what "darell1976" already summarized...

Hey gfhockey, just joking around a bit thus the wink. I do appreciate you posting your observations and hope you continue doing so!

This is the only word you're concerned about spelling wrong??? Thanks for the info...I wasn't able to make it over as I was hoping to.

Thanks...if I do get the chance to make it over there, I will post some thoughts afterwards.

Does anyone have info on the scrimmage today...ie what time, where, and if it's open to the public? Thanks...

Again...not sure why Faison has made his decision but this is more plausible than idea that the nickname has anything to do with it.

It appears as though William and Mary has decided on a new mascot. The Griffin...they are keeping their nickname of "Tribe." A group of griffins is actually known as a tribe. http://tribeathletics.com/story.php/10197/

Wrong...Summit does not sponser football. I'm not sure why Faison doesn't want an every other year contract, but the nickname is not the reason why.

I thought I would dust this thread off with the Best Rock song ever combined with the best Rock Band ever (at least in my eyes)! Wait until the 1:30 or so mark...good stuff

This is something I actually agree with you on...

Just in case his Alma maters job becomes available!

Let me preface this post by saying I agree that it's a positive sign that 1004 people signed the petition. However, keep in mind that the petition they signed asks for a vote of the people. It doesn't say that they will vote in favor of the nickname if a vote is allowed. I recall reading or seeing a Standing Rock Tribal member who was against the nickname stating he signed the petition because he felt that it should be decided by the people of Standing Rock and not some committee. Again, I view this as a positive development, but let's not get too excited yet...

Hey mplsbison...Nothings happening so you shouldn't need to post. We'll let you know when something is happening as you requested.

DEAL...no more posts by you until I notify you that something of importance has happened on Standing Rock!

I'm not exactly sure but the first time I remember hearing it was at the Old Ralph in the mid 90's. I want to say either '94-'95 or '95-96'. It may have started earlier but it was still fairly new (I believe) because the "yea yea Sioux" response didn't have the "crowd support" it does now.
