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 -

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.

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.
