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 -

How could they possibly object?

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.

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.Any future exception to school policy against playing teams with American Indian nicknames shouldn't be based strictly on which teams the NCAA considers "hostile and abusive," members of the University of Minnesota's Advisory Committee on Athletics said Tuesday.That means the committee may recommend not scheduling games against UND even if the the North Dakota school wins its lawsuit against the NCAA or reaches a compromise with the association that allows retaining some version of its Fighting Sioux nickname and logo.
Another committee member, Child Development Professor Maria Sera, agreed with Brady's argument. "In my personal opinion, I think that's discriminatory, too. Some schools have the money to buy off certain influential tribe members to keep their names, and others have to change," Sera said. "I would apply (the policy) across the board. Many Native Americans find (American Indian logos) very offensive. I see no need to offend people for something so minor."Can you believe....
"If it's offensive to one person in a group, it's offensive," she said.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 ...

I could see however, a basketball tournament among FSU, CMU, Utah, UND, and maybe Illinois, in connection with some other Indian cultural events, where some proceeds would go to Indian scholarships. That would be a win-win situation, and the immoral views of the PC crowd would be further exposed if they attacked it.
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 don't like the sound of this.
COLLEGE ATHLETICS: Nickname becomes D-I issue
The University of Minnesota won't compete against UND in any sport except men's and women's hockey because of UND's continued use of the Fighting Sioux nickname, the school's athletic director said Monday.That position could have serious consequences for UND after the school's proposed move to NCAA Division I in the fall of 2008.
According to Maturi, he asked the advisory committee to loosen the policy at a Nov. 2 meeting and open the door for Minnesota to play UND regularly in several sports. Instead, he said, the committee's consensus was to enforce the policy more strictly, barring Minnesota's Golden Gophers from playing UND in any sport except hockey, where the two teams are in the same league. -
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.

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!!

Cowboys/Vikings 1978? Please elaborate.
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.

UND vs. NCAA one year from trial
UND's lawsuit against the NCAA over the Fighting Sioux nickname won't hit courtrooms until at least December 2007, officials decided today.The trial is scheduled for Dec. 10-Dec. 21, 2007, though Judge Lawrence Jahnke made clear that date was only penciled in.

Me too!
The old Whitey's was really my place. Ended many an evening with a burger basket and a few beers. I just found my Premo night pint glass this weekend!
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.

Ok, I added a "non-collegiate sports" subforum to Community. We'll see how that goes.
I'll continue to ponder basketball, as well. The reason that's not quite as automatic is that I would make it a main, front-page forum, which changes the layout of the front-page "real estate". It is a good idea, though. There's enough talk about basketball, now, that having it's own forum would make it easier to create separate threads for each topic, which may stimulate additional discussion.
As it is now, you have to be a member to access that sub-forum. If you log in as a guest you can't see it.

Dartmouth College rocked by racist controversies
The students complained that fraternity pledges interrupted a American Indian drumming circle on Columbus Day. They also opposed the scheduling of a Dec. 29 hockey game against the University of North Dakota, whose mascot is the ''Fighting Sioux.'' UND is one of several schools whose use of American Indian imagery has been labeled ''hostile and abusive'' by the National Collegiate Athletic Association.Did I miss something. I thought that the AD apologized for scheduling the Sioux prior to anyone even opposing the game. The article makes it sound like there was opposition and there is some sort of linkage between that other incidents.

Music Review: Tom Brosseau - Grand Forks
Behind the pastoral vocals and the classic arrangements, Grand Forks is, in the most simplistic terms, a good folk album. Traditional folk music, which got its name because it's music by and about common people, is an expression of a way of life, and this is exactly what Brosseau does. He weaves tales of life and the lives of those who reside in Grand Forks, North Dakota -
Probably a question that I should know the answere to or possibly even do know but who is Steve Johnson?

Now there is a bar that you can turn around in without running into the wall, fun place though.
You want small? Remember the Antique before they expanded? It was like a 14'x80' corridor packed with people. They actually had people trying to play pool in there.
