You're right. Additionally there are some pretty high profile schools involved in the competition.

UA Hosts Challenge to beThe Most Ethical in Business

A wise man once asked "What are the long-term goals and strategies of the various conferences ...?" Would you rather have a school for 3-4 years that does fit for the autobid or get a solid stable school that doesn't qualify at the present, but would be a future anchor for the conference. Keeping in mind of course that you don't presently need to have them qualify and you are just protecting your future.

Please call the Dakota Student. I would love to hear how they respond. Good luck, Sioux-cia.

Sounds like the twins are catching some eyes. Ruggiero, Team USA are shaping up

Rather than starting a McMurry thread, I'll just drop this one in here. United Methodist agency applauds decision to drop athletic name Even though I'm an FSU fan, who do you think this last part is directed at? And which school gets the waiver?

Didn't the invitation from the Horizon to Valpo come out of nowhere?

I may make a friendly wager with you, if indeed an SEC team is paired with Notre Dame in a bowl game. Depending on which team it is of course. I think that Auburn or Florida would take Notre Dame out.

I''ve always thought of this more as a message board than a chat board.

Maybe he meant "hosed".

How many memebers of that group would have to object to the use for the institution to change? If the majority of the group wanted to keep it or didn't care one way or the other and the "offended ones" were in the minority of the group would it still be morally wrong in your mind?

Ole Miss Rebels Old article, but still poignant. Colonel not exactly a longtime tradition

Congratulations to the Sioux soccer team. It looks like the ended the season on the right note and something to build on for next year. Sioux end Season with Victory

Not that I went looking for negative print on UNC, but it seems the Denver media is taking their turn beating on UNC. Denver Post

Mother Jones lists their source as a 2001 article written in Salon. Obviously there is no mention of an NCAA ban in the Salon article. Puck Politics I know it would be a sad world to have everyone always agree with my point of view on all issues, but articles like this make me wonder if these people are even on the same planet that I live on.

The scary part is that it took me three times reading the strip to get it. I don't know if it is lack of sleep or my kids are depleting my brain cells.

Thank you. I'll stop now.

Interesting poll results. Do you happen to have the poll questions? Was North Dakota on the list of potential rivals on this poll? Or was it a list of Big Ten schools? Which point is obviously correct? I do agree that any poll can be skewed. Which questions were asked and how they are asked are the usual methods of shaping a poll. My point is someone at ESPN thought highly enough of the UND vs. Minn rivalry to include it as a poll question and somehow that answer got 23.5% of the response. As long as I was on the site, I went over the North Dakota page. As a Bison fan you couldn't have liked that one. Big front page picture of the Sioux hockey team winning the national championship. You gotta like the poll question about favorite college team. Sioux hockey wins again.

I thought that no one outside of Grand Forks cared about hockey, according to most at Bisonville. You have an employee at ESPN, that is a rabid hockey fan and quite possibly a Sioux hockey fan, creating a poll in which he wanted to skew the results to make UND look good. You would have an easier time convincing me that one person accounted for 23.5% of the voting.

Are you saying that one person voted often enough to account for 23.5% of the votes on that poll question?? Again, the person writing the poll must have thought highly enough of the rivalry to include it as a poll question. This wasn't a write in poll.

The poll may be unscientific and the data skewed, but it is relevent that UND vs Minnesota hockey was put on as a poll question and obviously someone thinks that there is quite a rivalry for there to have gotten the votes that it did. You can't say that every vote for UND vs UM was meaningless.
