If the Alerus is trying to increase revenue, not allowing tailgating before a football game is the wrong tack to take. I'm hoping that this is just a bad rumor, not based in fact.
-
I am hoping UND and USD go first and second in DII this year. I am looking forward to my first visit to the Alerus Center. How is the tailgating at UND?
I've only been tailgating once and had a great time. I'm heading back up for a game in November this year. There is a thread regarding game day atmosphere at the Alerus/Canad complex, as the Canad just opened.

UND's press release...
UND to join Great West Football Conference in 2008 season
Sounds like this will be home for a while.By officially joining the conference now, UND and USD will participate in all conference meetings during the 2007-08 academic year and be eligible to vote on any issues that become effective with the 2008-09 academic year. Both UND and USD will be members of the Great West Football Conference for a minimum period of five years. -
Upon further review, I should have started a new thread for this topic instead of tacking it on to the DI Conference Speculation thread.

Sioux to take a close look at incoming freshman players
Lennon said there are a handful of freshmen who could see the field."We're going to be very open about it," Lennon said. "We'll take a hard look at this freshman class. If they're ready to contribute, we'll consider lifting the redshirt.
"A good number of them may have the talent to contribute early."
Lennon didn't identify the players who may see the field right away.

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.

Are there any other prospective members on the horizon?
