Recent defenseman recruits at UND include Jake Marto, Derrick LaPoint and Joe Gleason - three highly dynamic offensive talents.
The latest verbal commitment is a throwback.
Eastview High School defenseman Corey Fienhage (pronounced finn-ah-gee), who will come to UND in 2008 or 2009, is a 6-foot-4, 210-pound physical presence who makes his mark by clearing out opponents in front of the net.
Now that's a big kid.

Just got an email from my SIL saying that all of my family has been accounted for. Pray for the families of the victims of this tragic event.

I don't know if these rank as unusual, but I ran into one at NAS Pensacola last fall and one at the New Orleans airport last month. UND shirts/jerseys are everywhere!!

The "global cooling" fanatics of the late 1960s and early 1970s. We were headed for an ice age then.
(Some folks actually had plans on how to warm the Earth back up! Just ask PCM.)
Roll forward 30 years ....
The "global warming" fanatics of today.
As they review the bizarre and unpredictable weather pattern of the past several years, a growing number of scientists are beginning to suspect that many seemingly contradictory meteorological fluctuations are actually part of a global climatic upheaval. However widely the weather varies from place to place and time to time, when meteorologists take an average of temperatures around the globe they find that the atmosphere has been growing gradually cooler for the past three decades. The trend shows no indication of reversing. Climatological Cassandras are becoming increasingly apprehensive, for the weather aberrations they are studying may be the harbinger of another ice age.Telltale signs are everywhere —from the unexpected persistence and thickness of pack ice in the waters around Iceland to the southward migration of a warmth-loving creature like the armadillo from the Midwest.Since the 1940s the mean global temperature has dropped about 2.7

Sioux football opens fall camp this week
QuarterbacksThe season begins with a new quaterback at the helm. Junior Danny Freund enters the 2007 campaign as the team’s starting quarterback after further establishing himself with a solid spring. The coaching staff is extremely pleased with Freund’s progress and believes he has all of the tools to lead the offense.
Sophomore Ryan Konrath and freshman Jake Landry will continue to battle for the backup role. Sophomore Andrew Gudmunson returns from the baseball diamond to compete for playing time, while freshman Brock Setness returns to provide further depth.
GO SIOUX!!!!!!!!

Once Kyle Fischer gets past the questions about where in the world North Dakota and UND are, he gets down to business and wows his audience with what those places have to offer.
The UND recruiter, or enrollment services representative as it reads on his business card, is finding an attentive audience among community college students in the state of Washington, which has more students who want four-year degrees than there are institutions to serve them.
"People are very interested; they always want to know more about it," Fischer said.
Part of Kupchella's Strat Plan II is for the targeting of students from certain locations out west. I also think they need to look North and get more Canadians at UND.

Packaging!
There was a time when you bought something, you brought it home and easily opened the package. Now they use those "welded" plastic containers that you need the "jaws of life" to open. Getting toys separated from the cardboard packaging is no treat either, with a thousand of those little twisty tie-downs.

Everett's Oshie goes East for greater hockey challenges
Home has already been many places for T.J. Oshie, who grew up in Everett, briefly attended high school in Stanwood, graduated from high school in Warroad, Minn., and lives today in Grand Forks, N.D., where he attends the University of North Dakota.And if the next few years unfold as expected, he will soon have another home in the National Hockey League.
Oshie is non-committal about his plans after next season. He could return to North Dakota for his senior year, but he also could be tempted to jump to the NHL. In fact, he attended a Blues prospects camp earlier this summer and made a strong impression on team officials, including club president John Davidson, the former TV analyst. -

Did anyone from Siouxsports.com attend this event yesterday?
The group was able to outline several strategic goals, which will be defined in a report highlighting the weekend. That report will be presented to the public on July 29 at the UND Football Letterwinners Golf Tournament in the Twin Cities. More than 200 football alumni, former and current coaches are expected to be present to hear the report -

Of course no one wants to live in a world where there are no right or wrong answers to moral questions. So who gets to decide what is morally right and wrong, a vocal minority of a minority, the federal government, the NCAA or the people of the country? According to the polls Sioux-cia quoted most Native Americans are not against the name. Are we to kowtow to a few malcontents or support the views of the many?
-
That is simply absurd.
What part of that statement is absurd?
-
Well, there is at least some legitmacy in that argument. The opinions of Native Americans in general, and the Sioux tribe in particular, are really at the heart of the matter. If they don't really object, the NCAA's case loses any legitmacy it may have had. However, if you're going to make that argument you better be ready to accept the consequences. Don't forget that nearly every tribal government has asked UND to change the name.
What I stated was my personal opinion regarding the politically correct crowd. The case against the NCAA doesn't even touch on any of this. The consequences that I will have to accept are the ones handed down by the court.
I have to hand it to you, Gothmog, you've stirred up some conversation in what is usually a quiet time of the year.

"Perspective", as I used the word, is the ability, or willingness, to consider all relevant facts and viewpoints when forming an opinion. Native American rights advocates would very likely consider the NCAA's policy a "courageous attempt to do the right thing." Your dismissal of that viewpoint betrays a loss of perspective on the issue.
If you mean that I don't see this through the eyes of a vocal minority, you're right. Polls have shown that most Native Americans don't hold the same opinion as this vocal minority. I've used this analogy before, but here it goes again. If UND was called the Fighting Icelanders and had a picture of my grandfather as the logo would I be protesting. No, I would be darn proud. This is where I really don't get the Native American right advocates. Do the they really believe that UND fans or the administration behave in a hostile and/or abusive manner? Probably not. It's a cause for them and yes they probably look upon the NCAA as their heroes. I tire of the vocal minorities and their feeble causes. If they would expend half that energy into real problems of society they may actually accomplish something and I would support them for doing it.

Thanks, I wasn't really worried.

Obviously, it was much cheaper and easier not to get that approval, and they may have believed that they didn't need it. The fact that they didn't seek the approval of the membership does not necessarily mean that they would not have gotten it had they done so.
How is it cheaper not to get a membership vote? What kind of expenses are involved in getting a membership vote? Right now they have likely spent over $1M on the UND case.
You don't think, if they felt they had the membership votes they would have gone that route. How about since the edict came down? They could have gone to the members after they declared some schools "hostile and abusive" and tried to shore up support with a vote after the fact. It didn't happen.
-
Certainly, they should have done exactly that. But that does not mean that Myles Brand and the NCAA leadership are evil people, bent on imposing some sort of dictatorship over college sports.
Okay, we agree that they should have gotten membership approval, so why do you think they did it? They had nothing better to do one day? Maybe next week they will do another PC thing like not allowing schools to keep score, because someone's feeling may get hurt. Okay, so that one is kind of out there, but use your imagination on what other dictatorial thing they can come up with. Requirements on the numbers of women and/or minority coaches...
-
So, would you say that there's no chance that the NCAA really is a "benevolent player" in this matter? That they created this policy and are attempting to enforce it because they believe that the policy is in the best interest of its membership.
If it was in the best interest of the membership, why not get membership approval instead of circumventing the members? Instead, they pushed it through the back door.
