Volleyball adds five to the 2008 roster

No, he was Uncle Joe's lap dog and did whatever Uncle Joe asked. The whole Potts fiasco was steeped in politics.

Duncan to return for senior season

So we are calling the board weak, instead of calling Paulsen out as controlling. I think adding the name Alabama in the description of Potts is meant to mean, he is not one of us. Chapman was the one not being held accountable, not Potts. I don't want to know what the board swallowed, but the blame for the "fiasco" is clearly at the feet of Paulsen.

Believe it or not....Free to Air

Lacrosse at the Alerus in April makes a whole lot more sense than Sioux Baseball at Apollo in April. Hopefully, Mr. Faison reads this board on a regular basis.

This group is going to be fun to watch in a couple of years. Go Sioux !!!!

I think that both the NCAA and the UN would have NDHSAA beat.

You make it sound like there would be no interest in lacrosse at UND unless HS kids in ND are playing the sport. There are kids in MSP metro playing the game. There are kids all over Canada playing the game. It seems to me adding lacrosse would be a positive in a few ways. Participation in a growing sport where UND could be competitive on a national stage. Increase enrollment with students who may have gone elsewhere. Provide a sport with positive or at the very worst neutral revenue. More activity at the Alerus/Canad complex. Thankfully, you are not the AD or president at North Dakota.

The simple fact that there are Bison fans all over this is proof enough that they wish at least one of these young men would have walked-on rather than go to UND. I'm pleased that Jones is getting all of these talented local kids. As was stated earlier, having some local flavor will get fans to come to the games. Sure it may be a couple of years before the fruits of labor pay off, but UND is taking steps in the right direction. Go Sioux!!!

A knowledgeable source reminded me that the Mississippi College Choctaws were also granted a waiver by the NCAA.

Seminoles, Utes, Illini, Chippewa, and I believe Braves are all still being used.

Agreed.

UND has had baseball for a very long time. How long has the NDHSAA sponsored baseball? When I was in HS (I know that was a long time ago), the high schools didn't have baseball. It was American Legion baseball. Should UND not have had a baseball team until the NDHSAA sponsored it? I agree with Stomer lacrosse would be a nice market for UND and North Dakota as a whole.

I'm talking about life. "Rich" people create jobs. The only jobs poor people create is more people to handle entitlement programs. As Neil Boortz puts it, we are creating a "mommy culture" that can't take care of itself. I just wish all of the "doofs" (republicans and democrats) in DC would stop spending so much money.

Looks like Coach Jones is building a nice future for the program.

Newberry College teams nickname banned A lot of thought about how ridiculous this is...

I'll agree that liberal=victim, but won't agree that liberal=little guy.

Yes the number of refineries has declined over the years, but I don't fully blame "Big Oil". There are actually 149 operable refineries in the U.S. The refineries that we do have are more efficient than they were back in 1976. The Clean Air Act of 1990 had quite an impact on the numbers of refineries and caused some of the consolidation and the larger companies buying the smaller ones. The regulations were too overwhelming to some of the smaller players.

Let's go...

You can dream it. How about hiring Bollinger as an associate AD, AD heir apparent. Get the major stakeholders on board with what your vision is. Getting the Athletic Department to work as a team. I read waaaay too much here about the problems within the department. Conference affiliation. Think big and long term.

Unfortunate, but I don't think our whole "D" is gone because of the loss of Stroup.

Did you really think saying no bison fans need respond was going to stop them from responding? This is preemptive to the inevitable Mpls response.

Dubai on the Prairies or Buffalo Commons? North Dakota, the new Dubai??...
