Anybody else think that Pam Oliver ought to lay off the crack? She looks like she hasn't slept in a week.

You were just showering love and kindness onto everyone and everything while at the Ralph, right?

As one gets older, one begins to repeat oneself:

Given this quote: And this one: It would seem that there might be some high-powered support for proceeding as outlined below:

It may be the NCAA's game and they may make the rules - but they do not have the moral high ground. No organization that has such a narrowly defined policy that is so unevenly applied ever could. At this point we comply or perish, but because of the very narrowness of the policy's definition and the very uneveness of its application, only the most minimum of compliance can be justified. The law should be changed to reflect the following: The athletic teams of the University of North Dakota shall be officially known and referred to as the "Fighting Sioux" or if not, they shall be officially known and referred to as only "the University of North Dakota". That should be a way out for everyone - Al Carlson can claim that while he couldn't save it, he kept the name from being changed to another - the NCAA, Kelley and all the other academic PC elitists can claim they got rid of the nickname - and we fans can rest easy knowing we will not have to suffer the charade of pretending that any other nickname could possibly replace "Fighting Sioux". Further - since all of the NCAA membership left us twisting in the wind in our hour of need and support - it is only fitting that all opponents be referred in any University of North Dakota media (programs, publications, releases, PA announcements, scoreboards, etc.) as by only the name of their school - no nicknames. A subtle way to remind everyone that we may be beaten, but we will never be broken, and that we will always remember how it was and by whom we had our proud name ripped from us against our will and without justification.

I don't know the man. My problem with him is that he cannot come up with a single credible reason for why the name should be changed - it all boils down to "because I said so". Some of the things that come out of his mouth are so ridiculous that he is either disingenuous (i.e. a flaming jackass) or a moron - I figure I gave him the benefit of the doubt. For instance, I believe he made some statement about the amount of money that was being spent on defending the nickname, saying something to the effect that he wished it could be spent on indian programs instead. Did he not understand that his actions were a good bit of the reason why the donors felt the nickname had to be defended in the first place? Did he not understand that it was not a choice of one (spending on defending the nickname) or the other (spending on indian programs) - that is to say that no portion (however small) of that money would have gone to indian programs even if none of it had been spent on defending the nickname?

If that's the case, then that flaming jackass Leigh Jeanotte would have and should have been fired years ago.

Isn't it touching the lengths to which Hansel, Herd and nd1sufan have gone to hide their glee?

Frazier needs to quit worrying about UND's moniker and instead start worrying about how to avoid "offing" himself as a direct result of his own abject stupidity.

[quote name='PhillySioux' timestamp='1303391518' post='504778'] http://www.inforum.c...icle/id/316817/ Latest from Forum Editorial Board [/quote] The Legislature's less-than-thoughtful stance..." - how about the NCAA's "less-than-thoughtful" stance? Why don't the moronic jackasses that populate the Forum editorial board do a piece on that? Maybe a two-by-four between the eyes will help get their attention. I hereby volunteer my humble services to apply the attention 'treatment' to each and every board member, repeatedly, if necessary. On second thought - necessity doesn't enter into it.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Bernard Franklin that tooth extraction effected by multiple blunt force traumata to his skull couldn't fix. Time for the ND members of the Senate and the House to get some public hearings scheduled to determine whether the NCAA constitutes a monopoly.

Going with my boy. Staying at the nearby Days Inn.

Has the game started? How much time left in the first?

Goliath is the NCAA and David is UND.

We may on occasion be beaten, but we will never be broken. We are North Dakota. Although I appreciate the sentiment, the legislature has waited too long. A couple of years ago would have been nice, but even then, with constitutional issues and if it had no impact on the actions (or inactions) of Standing Rock, it still would have gone for naught. The deck was stacked against us as soon as the NCAA became unjustly and officiously determined to meddle in that which was not their concern. Goliath slew David

South club lounge (end Sioux shoot at twice); 2 seats each night; "bar stool" (end of row) seating; bench side of the ice; great seats; 2 free "adult" beverages per person (before drop of the puck); includes use of parking pass; in-seat drink service; free pre-packaged popcorn, chips, etc. and canned pop throughout the game (while it lasts - usually something left at the end of the game, I believe); another 2 standing room "seats" available (since the bar stool seats are the top row, all four in your party can be in immediate proximity of one another); $220 total or best offer for both seats, both nights. The Ralph changed the price from last year for the SRO - they are now $15 over an adult GA ticket ($25 each) - If you want one or more of these as well, it will be in addition to the $220 listed above. If you already have GA ticket ($25 each for adults, $15 each for youths, and $7 for students), it's my understanding that you can use that in order to gain admittance to the club as a "guest" (SRO) if you buy the regular club seats. One guest allowed per regular club seat, so you save at least $15 per SRO that way. PM me if interested. Thanks

I know what it ought to say.

Up on satellite! Same coordinates as the women's game.

Finally got the women's game - had to "peak" my dish - even then it's right on the ragged edge, otherwise it pixellates. Hopefully the boys do better. Please post if coordinates for the boys differ. Thanks for your help.

Do you see a high school foot all game on something labeled service 1 at 11944 V 3978 sr?

Sprig, are you on 91W?

Neither are school monikers, but that didn't stop them. If that fetid pool of corruption in Fargo wants to close its doors, it's fine by me.

Please do not quote the jackass troll - I'm trying to keep my computer untainted by his abject stupidity - thanks.

Wow, must be really embarrassing for 'SU to have the combined revenue of their "major" sports dwarfed by the revenue generated by that "minor" sport at UND. I guess denial does have some value...as a defense mechanism.
