Lawyer disregards American Indians in statement on UND nickname

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.

12,164 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.

WOW!!

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.

Sioux 38 WWU 7 GO Sioux!!!!

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

and Joe the Plumber.

Agreed.

Board to meet on Sioux nickname today

Former football coaches say team would prevail

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.

It looks as though they are expecting a nice turn out this weekend.... From Game Notes

VB Game Notes: Squad declares Jamestown rematch a WHITE OUT; UND to face DWU

Letter: "Fighting Sioux" tradition As opposed to the first letter, this letter provides information as to why she feels the way she does.

Letter: logo causes harm First of all UND does not have a mascot. Second, call me stupid, ignorant, etc...., but I still don't get how UND is mischaracterizing the male ancestors of the Sioux people. Further, how are they being dehumanized? How and where they portrayed as simple-minded bloodthirsty primitives? This letter is filled with emotion, but does not provide any information to further any discussions for or against the Sioux name.

This very topic (what would happen if) was discussed at our office today. The scary thing is, I couldn't argue with you on any of these points.

Western Washington Univ. Schedule/Results

Are there any conflicts between the game and hunting to impact attendance? It would be nice to add to the 10,278 average thus far for the season. I'm hoping for 11,800+

Homecoming weekend coming up against Western Washington. What kind of attendance are we looking at? Predictions?

Is this season over already? I'm one of those unique fans that will cheer for the Sioux regardless of what their record may be or how bad they are doing in a game. One of the things I love about college hockey is that is a long season. Right the ship and move forward. Go Sioux!!!

The reason that people have wanted to come to America for the past couple hundred years is that you can make your life what you want of it. The opportunities in this country are endless. If you choose not to take advantage of those opportunities, it is your own fault. I have taken some risks (decisions), some have worked, some have not. As those decisions brought me to where I am today, I can't complain. I find it interesting that Dave comes down on the capitalist system and then cites teachers and policeman, as the overworked and underpaid. Typically teachers and policemen are government employees and not really part of the free market (capitalist) system. Their wages would be set by the government (Socialism?). It is 2008 in America and your life is what you make of it. I hope I can say the same in 2010.

Thanks for the live recap MD. I'm glad you were there, I found the game difficult to follow through the Alerus webcam.

Dave, did you read my whole post or just one part. If you read this... You would understand that when the owner of the company does well, others within the company do well. I am in the middle class, but would not want to see the upper class have their taxes increased just so it is more fair. How many lower income people do you see creating jobs for others? I would say very few. The job creation comes from those very people that you want to raise taxes on. They are the ones taking the risks. With those risks should come rewards. When they are rewarded we all gain with increased pay, benefits and more jobs.
