Pomeroy voted against it. Time to light up the Senators.... https://conrad.senate.gov/contact/webform.cfm http://www.dorgan.senate.gov/contact/contact_form.cfm

Div. I sports costly I think UWF should concentrate on the move to Division I. If they look at staying Division II, they will still need to replace the Fieldhouse for BB, as it is more like a high school gym than a legit Division II venue. Although this may be a problem....

We need more incentives to stop coal production? Somewhere in the DC area there must be a tree that generates so much money that politicians don't know what to do with it. Incentives cost money, The reason that I implore people from North Dakota to contact their congressman is because I'm hopeful that the Midwesterners can derail the goofy east coast greenies. I know that I'm probably wasting my breath here, but why not let business take care of it. Over regulation of nuclear, killed what was a viable source of energy for America. I hate to ever use France as an example of something positive, but this is something that France has done right, producing near 90% of their needs. I have said it before government is not the answer. Government is the problem. It's not that I'm pro-coal, per se, I'm against government control. Next up health care. Then.... ? Getting scared yet?

But the important news of the day is all about Michael Jackson I'm so frustrated with Washington I could scream. :angry:

I know SiouxSports is a non political site, but I see this as being more of an economic than political issue. The House is voting today on the Cap and Trade bill. This bill will hurt North Dakota and the rest of the US. Call, email or Twitter Earl Pomeroy and let him know where you stand on this important issue. The Cap and Tax Fiction This mean you, ND.

WCHA to admit Bemidji, Omaha today

Here is the link for information on suite rentals. There isn't any activity on there right now, which doesn't surprise me since it is June. There in an email address to contact The Ralph, though.

So one day after TK Wetherell retires as president of FSU, the decision comes down. Coincidence, I think not. When I moved to Florida some 20 years ago, I became a huge FSU fan, mostly because I hated Spurrier at Florida. Over the years I grew weary of the problems the FSU athletic department had, especially in football. Free Shoes University, academic problems and the off field problems. It seemed like every year FSU would be entering a bowl game missing at least 1 or 2 from the starting line-up due to academic issues. You get to a point of accepting it, then you gradually fade from even caring. I can't tell you the last time I watched an FSU game. I couldn't name one player. Does this scenario sound eerily familiar?

Brown hired as new Union Co. boys' b-ball coach Coach Jones did a better job than I thought.

Should I trust Brad's experienced point of view or Mpls? I think I'll go with Brad's expertise on this matter.

Massive shuffle might just be what collegiate hockey needs One man's dream is another man's nightmare....

Nice.

Although I'm not a Lakers fan (heck, I'm not even an NBA fan), congratulations to former UND great Phil Jackson for winning his 10th NBA Championship. This puts him ahead of Auerbach for most championships. Sioux Pro-Files: Jackson's 10th title sets him apart

I remember reading a piece years ago by a professor named Popper about the future of the Plains called "Buffalo Commons". I scoffed back then, but some of what they said about small towns dying has come true. I read a piece in the WSJ about the possible future of America in light of the rapid growth of the federal government. Divided We Stand The gist of the piece is that America has become too big and will fail. In contrast to what we hear lately about "too big to fail". It says that America would be better off breaking up into smaller pieces, such as the North Star Republic, Novacadia and Cascadia. This somewhat goes back to what the founding fathers had in mind with the original idea of states and the 10th Amendment. Washington has gotten powerful and bloated beyond control. With this type of scenario it made me wonder what would happen to ND? Would it become part of Manitoba? To a lesser degree, what would happen to athletics, not just at UND, but across the country?

Sideline chatter: Who says you need a bat to foul out? Saw this tidbit in the Seattle newspaper. The Sioux would kick some 'bama butt and find a way to get an elephant on the ice.

British slang.

With Blais going to Omaha, I'd say the odds for Fairbanks just got very long.

UAF ponders switching hockey conferences Hmmmm, a choice between Omaha and Fairbanks?

When is the HS hockey tournament?

I thought it was 'SU sucks. This gets done because of money, not relationships. North Dakota is not Florida, so that formula doesn't work.

If sentiment is shifting on names, what about Redskins? I guess this journalist didn't take the time to find out that Spirit Lake had a vote and his "substantial" was approximately 1/3 of the vote.

While I do agree that UND could have done more outreach to the tribes, I don't think, in the end, it would have mattered. The minority that has pushed the name change, such as Ron HHiT, would have been there regardless. What didn't help is the NDSU chant "Sioux Suck" or the derogatory t-shirts.
