My money is on 89Rabbit beating him to the punch.

Anti-mascot movement made headway in 2006 Since I didn't recall the policy encouraging other member institutions to refreain from scheduling regular-season games, I had to go back to the original edict. NCAA Executive Committee Issues Guidelines for Use of Native American Mascots at Championship Events Even the title of their own press release is misleading, using the word "Guidelines" instead of "Mandate". Anyone who is on the fence about this issue, needs to reread this press release. It makes my blood boil and makes me want to fight to the end. Race, ethnicity or national origin. I know this has been discussed many times, but where is the NCAA going next with all of this? Congressman Johnson is dead on when he says...

Great pickup for the Sioux.

This may have been posted elsewhere and I missed it. Calling all conferences, UVSC looks to the future Interesting .. I hope that he wasn't quoting Jacobson on this one.

AZSIOUX, It appears we both got the same impression of the article by way of our quoting the same text.

And another. Toews finds light at the end of the tunnel in time for world juniors Looking forward to Towes back in a Sioux uniform.

It's nice to see people so community minded. Madera pair give school cash lift

"The Pontiacs" How could they possibly object?

UNI folks know why. Playoff Selection

Sioux vs UMTC in blogs U Of M Stands Firm, Won't Play 'Fighting Sioux' (PC police in MN) Three Victories

I should have gone back a page when I posted earlier. Classic stuff.

I agree BobIwabuchiFan. So many Sioux fans were for this fight and the principle of the fight and I now hear waffling. Did the principle of the fight go away when Minnesota said that they wouldn't schedule us? Granted playing UMTC would mean $$ to UND, but there has to be other schools who will play UND regardless of the nickname. I know that travel is always a concern and you would like to be able to have your fan base at an away game like they would be in MSP. The South is far less PC than most of the rest of the country. I wonder how a game against Tulane or a Louisiana team would be if the Sioux faithful were able to spend some time in New Orleans or along the Mississippi Gulf Coast doing some gambling. University of Southen Mississippi is only a couple of hours from New Orleans and a little over an hour from the coast. There are also some pretty big UND fan bases in Seattle, Phoenix and Denver, so playing UW, ASU or CU would be great too. Don't knuckle under because of UMTC.

Here's one out of left field, what about Milwaukee? They held the Frozen Four last year, so I'm thinking that they must have some kind of a hockey following. The Bradley Center holds between 17,000 and 18,000 for hockey. Is that large enough? Another drawback is that it is too close to Chicago and could possibly invade some of the Blackhawks fan base.

NCAA pass won't sway Minnesota Nobody gets a pass from this member. Can you believe.... Welcome to America in the 21st century. Their advisory panel appears to be made up of a group of liberal types. A Child Psycology professor, a Child Development professor, a nutrionist ...

You're right that basketball was brought up earlier in the thread, but it was and is still a football thread hence the word bowl in the title. The question that you answered with a picture of SDSU basketball used the term I-A program. A Bison fan would have tarred and feathered you for using basketball to answer a question with I-A in it.

I think that this thread is regarding football.

I don't like the sound of this. COLLEGE ATHLETICS: Nickname becomes D-I issue

Sioux men beat Minot tonight 85-67, outscoring the Beavers 49-28 in the 2nd half. A long way to go in the season, but it looks like Coach Jones has the guys heading in the right direction. Nice win. Go Sioux. Big second half pushes Sioux past Minot State

Didn't see the need for starting another thread for this, but The Ralph has a new website. Pretty sharp. Still waiting for the new site from the athletic department.

Serious post following the light post. I'm one of those weird people who won't read the newspaper the next day after a Sioux loss. After the loss to Wisconsin the week before last I was despondent. My wife just looked at me and shook her head. All that being said, "No excuses, just go out do your job and win!" The true Sioux fans are there win or lose. Go Sioux!!

I held off as long as possible with this. Nothing is Over.

The push-off that wasn't called on a long pass that went for a TD. I think it was Drew Pearson, but I'm getting old and my memory is fading. Found it Pearson admit interference

UND vs. NCAA one year from trial

I loved the old Whitey's. I was just relating a story recently to someone about how you would get a table on a weekend night. No hostess, just the knowing glances between different parties about who was next and who was getting ready to leave. I still go in for a Riverboat sandwich when I'm in town.
