    Dean Blais to NDSU?

    Posted

    I'm also applying for this job. Since it doesn't exist yet, I'm also in process of writing my job description, compensation and incentives package.

    I figure I'll start interviewing potential assistant coaches in the next month or so. Blaiser will be welcome to apply. :D

    Don't forget to set up your lucrative severance package, so you have a golden parachute should things go south down south. :huh:

    More news on the Northern border surveillance

    CBP Unmanned Aircraft to Patrol Northern Border

    U.S. Customs and Border Protection today announced its decision to establish a northern border unmanned aircraft system (UAS) pilot program. Based in Grand Forks, N.D., the pilot program will be established by the end of fiscal year 2007.

    "As unmanned aircraft have proven to be effective on our southern border, this first step in North Dakota will lay the foundation to expand UAS operations along the nation's northern border," said Michael Kostelnik, assistant commissioner, CBP Air and Marine. "As Customs and Border Protection expands air operations along the northern tier, the presence of the UAS will further enhance our situational awareness."

    CBP decided to establish the pilot program in Grand Forks because of its central location along the northern border. With the program based in Grand Forks, CBP will have the capability to launch UAS operations across the entire northern tier.

    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

    "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.
    Once again, I must ask, how is UND doing anything that is hurtful to a race??

    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.'"

    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. :D

    USD and Augustana to DI highly likely

    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? :lol:

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

    Media Stories on the Sioux Name

    Anti-mascot movement made headway in 2006

    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.
    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.

    "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

    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."

    Interesting ..

    Big Sky

    Current 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.

    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.
