Yeah, well, that's been well documented here. I thought it wouldn't hurt to throw out some positives for all you Negative-Nellies.
Thanks for analysis Dagies. I'm looking forward to a great 2nd half of the season. All of the pieces are there. Execute and win. Go Sioux !!!

AD Harper addresses coaching, fights and letters
Once again, I must ask, how is UND doing anything that is hurtful to a race??"My personal opinion, why I wrote to The D, is that I think that if characterization of a race and anything is hurtful to a group of people, no matter what, then we should really not do it. You just try to be respectful of somebody's feelings." she said during the interview.Thank goodness Josie isn't in charge of anything else. In her world, if anyone was going to be offended, nothing could move forward. Someone is always is going to be on the short end of the stick. Someone is always is going to be offended in some way, real or otherwise.
When asked if she would amend anything from her original statement, Harper said she would have made it clear that she was speaking only to Dartmouth. "I might have said a hundred times before I started after I wrote the note to The D 'I would like to address our community.'" -

I still say the men are heading in the right direction and will make some noise in the NCC this year. Go Sioux!

Way to go Sioux!!!

Even if things go south for the Great West if the SU's leave for the Gateway, why can't a UND/USD combination find similar success in forging their own conference ties for independents like the SU's were able to? Don't forget, the Great West didn't exist prior to the SU's move up. The Great West has served the purpose it was supposed to. I think the U's will be able to do the same until they find a more permanent home.
NO! The Sioux must languish in pergatory! This is the mantra that you must learn from the NDSU fans.

Jonathan Toews - University of North Dakota forward has been promoted to first-line centre in hopes he, Steve Downie and Brad Marchand can produce some goals. -
Do you have a link to these comments from Josh Centor? Because I'm looking all over the Double-A Zone and I can't find them.

I agree 100% - actually fear is driving all this speculation. Fear of knowing that both schools (UND & USD) have come to the DI move late and all the conferences are full. Unless the Mid-Con loses some more members I highly doubt that they expand. With NDSU & SDSU being invited to the Gateway Conference spring meetings Feb 19 it looks good for their invite to the Gateway.
While agree that it looks promising for both SDSU and NDSU in the Gateway, I don't think fear is driving speculation. Think back a few years and recall what Bisonville was like when NDSU had announced the move to Division I. I'm sure that there were all kinds of rumors flying around about conferences, especially about the Big Sky. That wasn't fear driven. It was hope and dreams and yes, probably some people just making stuff up to sound good. Good luck to the SU's at the Gateway meeting. UND is just starting the process and the landscape will change several more times in the next couple of years, so I don't believe fear is warranted.

Ok, concerts I can obviously see.
But he said that they want the AL be a convention center with the new hotel complex?
In any way imaginable, there is no way that UND is going to get kicked out for using it as a football stadium for 6 home games and possible playoff games.
I saw on the Herald's website a link to a 'DAZ story regarding proposals being reviewed for a hotel adjacent to the Ralph.

The #1 Sports Story in South Dakota: USD takes plunge, enters Division I
Finally, a sportswriter who understands and agrees with me. USD already has a gentleman's agreement to enter the MidCon: a couple more years and it will happen.
UND may very well be attractive to the MidCon, but when Sac St moves on from the Big Sky, there will be another option.
Anyone want to bet that "non-SDSU fans" like Aff will be descending down and slamming the Argus-Leader writer?
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.The NCAA did not ban ''Indian'' trademarks, but stipulated that any NCAA member violating the policy will be sanctioned by not being allowed to host any post-season championship events. The policy also encourages members to refrain from scheduling regular-season games with schools identified on the list.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.
"Colleges and universities may adopt any mascot that they wish, as that is an institutional matter," said Walter Harrison, chair of the Executive Committee and president at the University of Hartford. "But as a national association, we believe that mascots, nicknames or images deemed hostile or abusive in terms of race, ethnicity or national origin should not be visible at the championship events that we control."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...
"You do a good job of running basketball tournaments ... but you don't do a good job of social engineering," Johnson told Bernard Franklin, senior vice president for governance, membership, education and research services at the NCAA. -

Calling all conferences, UVSC looks to the future
Interesting ..If there is one thing Jacobsen always finds time to do, it is to get UVSC in a conference."I literally work on it every single day one way or another. Making a phone call or keeping networked with some of the ADs and the conference commissioners so that they know about us, that we're still out there and looking for something," Jacobsen said. "Some of the visits I have planned to travel with some of my teams will take me to places to places in the Big West. It's just developing relationships so when the opportunity comes, we're already kind of up on it."
Big SkyCurrent members: Nothern Arizona, Idaho State, Montana, Montana State, Weber State, Eastern Washington, Portland State and Sacramento State
Pros: Location. Most schools in the Rocky Mountain area. Could begin a rivalry with Weber State. The conference plays Division II football. Could immediately be competitiveCons: UVSC doesn't have a football program. Exposure
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
After his lacklustre performance in a loss to Wisconsin to start a weekend series against the Badgers, North Dakota coach Dave Hakstol decided was time for a heart-to-heart with one of his star players."He dragged me in his office and said, 'Just go out there and play and be the kid that you were when you were lighting it up in Pee Wee and don't worry about anything,"' Toews recalled.
"I just did that. I didn't score in the next game, but I had a great game and came to camp in Calgary and I've been much more confident ever since."
Toews, who has two goals and an assist in three games, carries an intensity in his eyes, which don't blink or look away when he speaks to you."That ferocity . . . I'm looking at him right across the hallway right now and he's still got that look in his eye," linemate Ryan O'Marra said. "He's intensely focused.
Looking forward to Towes back in a Sioux uniform.

It's nice to see people so community minded.
Madera pair give school cash lift
Gary Giersch, a civil engineer in Madera and past president of the Madera Rotary Club, said of the Cholewas: "He's very low-key and she's gung-ho. They've done well, but they're sharing their wealth with the community."Jill Cholewa, 51, is not deterred. She started bucking conventional wisdom as a teenage girl in Hillsboro, N.D., population 1,600. She says she tried out -

Sioux vs UMTC in blogs
U Of M Stands Firm, Won't Play 'Fighting Sioux' (PC police in MN)
Reminder-Go to basement and get Fighting Sioux cap off display rack. Wear to work the rest of week as well as several more trips out for last minute Christ-mas shopping!
I think the UND team should Sioux the U of M . . . . . .I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, HATE PC!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S . Maybe someone should tell the University of Iowa that -
To me, right now, the best way out of this is to force everyone's hands. How? Easy.
If it were up to me, I'd have CEK walk to the podeum tomorrow and say:
"Unless other resolution can be made prior, effective February 15, 2007 the UND Athletic teams will be known as 'The Cavalry'." This puts us in compliance with NCAA policy regarding mascots based on race, ethnicity, or national origin. We choose the name 'Cavalry' because they killed more ...bison... than any group in history."Please also note, effective same date, UND will, in the spirit of helping meet the wishes and desires of Ms. Vermillion, head of Sitting Bull College, cease all cooperative activities, of any sort, with Sitting Bull College."Finally, also effective same date, UND will refocus its outreach efforts exclusively to America's veterans, the true cavalry, and rural health and economic development.In closing, we are not dropping our lawsuit 'UND v. NCAA' because we continue to believe that they did breech a contract and did do us harm under the Sherman Anti-trust Act, or at least the corresponding state statutes.That is all. Thank you."Imagine the reactions that would garner. Oh the hypocrisy that would expose. It would be great theatre.
Never vote me in as "King for a Day."
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.
