And the discussion goes on .... Any Given Saturday

Back in the late 70's when I was in 9th grade we had a wrestling coach that had us lifting weights every day before school and running every day after school. He once equated wealth to laziness and that the kids at Schroeder were going to be the least conditioned and that the kids at Valley should be the most conditioned. I was at South, so were kind of in the middle. When we had the city championships that year, we came in as underdogs, but I won my weight class and South won the overall city championship, not because we were the most skilled, it had to do with conditioning. If it was all about skill, I would have gotten my butt kicked, because I was only in my second year of wrestling and the guy I faced in the championship was considered the best in that weight class. Money had nothing to do with it. You do need someone, a coach or trainer, to push you if you don't already have it inside of you.

I believe that it's on this morning.

I thought you understoond that logic has nothing to do with this issue.

Qwest Communications Reveals Deal With University Of North Dakota - Stock To Watch There must be more to the story. "Reveals Deal"??

Nick Coleman: Illinois shows North Dakota what is the truly honorable thing Maybe someone should tell Nick what the definition of caricature is... I don't believe the Sioux logo distorts anything.

Just for fun. UND still has opening Comments I think the general consensus is that they want the nickel, although none of them wanted it when they started their "new rivalry" with SDSU.

With all of the scheduling problems that NDSU had the first couple of years in the transition did football attendance go up or down? 2003 11,567 2004 13,269 2005 14,160 Hmmm, So why are you so sure that 2008 will be a lean year for UND? Could it be because you just plain hate UND and a lean year is what you want for UND?

And I believe that the attendance will increase.

Thanks SiouxMD. I saw we were up by 9, but was on bath duty and missed the end.

Sioux up by 8 with 2:43 to go.

About 8 minutes left and the Sioux are up by 3. USD seems to be outhustling the Sioux.

If UND had a mascot, it probably would be a Sioux warrior such as they have at Illinois and Florida State. See PCM's post. But, UND does not have a mascot. Why is this so hard to understand?

Let's put your theory to the test with a few NFL teams. Do the New York Jets have a 747 on the sidelines at their football games? Do the New Orleans Saints have someone dressed as a saint on the sidelines? Remember the Chicago Fire from the WFL? Was there a bonfire somwhere on display during home games? Sure sometime teams do have a mascot to go along with their team name, but "Logo + Nickname = mascot" does not hold water.

Accounting Stu is bad at math. Where on earth did you come up with your formula that Logo + Nickname = mascot?

I would suspect that the folks at Phoenix Design Works are going to make a heck of lot more than the $6,000 original price. As a contractor, I know how expensive things can get with a lack of clarity in the concept and the subsequent failure in the approval of the design due to the lack of clarity.

The one that got away... Rose signs with UW after Badger wooing Sounds like a bright kid with a bright future. Too bad he isn't going to be a Sioux.

Arena news breeds much skepticism The plot thickens...

Next week.

Athletic community rehashes controversial U policy Other than one person saying that they hoped UND wouldn't be hurt by UMTC, it seemed all of the people supporting the policy were quoted. Not very even reporting.

This argument reminds me of one of my favorite Far Side cartoons. What the dog hears when you are scolding her.... blah blah blah ginger blah blah blah blah ginger blah blah.

I think that Coach Jones has a done a good job to date and do think that things will improve with the Men's team. With that said the transition will be tough and Sioux fans need to be prepared for that. NDSU has shown some success, but if you look at the latest RPI, two other former NCC teams are not faring so well. Of the 336 teams, Northern Colorado is #336 and SDSU is #326. The fans may need to have some patience.
