  1. Grand Forks Guy has a discussion on the future of UND facility-wise. Where will UND build in the future?
  2. [url=http://www.grandforksherald.com/articles/index.cfm?id=90576&section=homepage]
  3. Book sheds light on First Nations players I wasn't there, but this book sounds like fiction. Was it widely known at the time that Ralph may pull funding for REA? I thought that it only became known after the issue was resolved.
  4. I'm sure that some who have posted they like the name Cavalry have done it in jest, but I'm sure there are some who are serious. I have been of the mindset that the majority of the people at both Standing Rock and Spirit Lake are not against the Fighting Sioux name and in general are supportive of UND. There is a small group at both places that have the loud voice and want the name changed at any cost. If UND were to change to the Cavalry moniker, Ron His Horse of Thunder and his crew would be happy, because they won and the name has been changed, but you would likely anger the very people who have been supportive of the Fighting Sioux name. Cavalry $0.02

    WWU vs UND

    Thanks Ryan. Very nice.
  6. I agree that being a member of the Republican party is not what it once was. The party has moved too far to the left. A couple of years ago, I heard someone with an analysis that hit the nail on the head. The Republicans of today are what the Democrats were 40-50 years ago and the Democrats of today are what Socialists were 40-50 years ago. I lean more toward the Libertarian point of view on most issues, except for the drug thing. Get the government out of everyone's business. Edit: With little choice at this time, I vote for the more conservative candidate.
  7. Actually, it is over 40% that don't pay taxes. Fact check: Would Obama raise taxes on some to cover tax credits for others?
  8. I work for a small company (less than 50 employees). The Obama tax plan will raise taxes on our business. It will also raise taxes on our competition who is a huge worldwide corporation, but who do you think Obama's tax increase is going to impact more? That's right the small corporation is going to get hit harder. Layoffs will happen. Unemployment goes up. Tax revenues go down. Raising taxes in an effort to "share the wealth" just doesn't make sense I saw an interview with T. Boone Pickens recently. Pickens said that raising taxes in this economic environment was not wise.
  9. Making a 'state'-ment for Sioux, Bison
  10. Lawyer disregards American Indians in statement on UND nickname
  11. Q&A: Robert Kelley Looks like we are not quite at the point of announcement, but close. I like his pro-athletic attitude. Not just regarding the master plan, but overall.
  12. 12,164 for today's attendance against WWU, bringing the average to 10,750 for the season. The last home game of the year is a night game against SUU. I would hope that that game would only increase the average. If capacity is 12,300, North Dakota is now just over 87% of capacity.
  13. Fox News at least has one newsman, Brit Hume. The rest of it is "entertainment". MSNBC is purely a joke. I used to like Keith Olbermann when he was Dan Patrick's sidekick on ESPN. Now he just seems to be an "angry white man". Gone are true newsman like John Chancellor, Cronkite, Mudd, Brinkley, Murrow, Reasoner, et al. The "newsmen" began to editorialize instead of report. Their opinions became "the news", sadly.

    WWU vs UND

    Sioux 38 WWU 7 GO Sioux!!!!
  15. Ed Schultz walks off live appearance on Fox News show Well, it seems Ed Schultz didn't like how an interview was going on Fox and Friends, so he picked up his ball and went home. Classic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igoJWs7iDh0
  16. Board to meet on Sioux nickname today
  17. Former football coaches say team would prevail
  18. Okay, so the name Sioux would be gone in this excercise. Lets keep the Fighting part of it. How about the "Fighting Dakotans"? Of course they wouldn't let UND keep the logo, so use a Nordic looking guy as the logo.
  19. It looks as though they are expecting a nice turn out this weekend.... From Game Notes
  20. VB Game Notes: Squad declares Jamestown rematch a WHITE OUT; UND to face DWU
