GeauxSioux

Come on... I saw the movie 1941.... Belushi pushed back the Japanese single handed. I do remember in Tora Tora Tora, Yamamoto making a comment about the US industrial complex being awesome.

NFL preseason games don't count. Mines counts. GO SIOUX!!

I have a daughter who a couple of times a month will tell me that she want to quit piano. We have a number of friends who have told us that they regret quitting as a child. I relay this to her and work with her on her lesson. I have never played piano, but know enough about music from playing the trombone when I was a kid to be able to help. She gets past her quitting feeling, eventually, and when she reaches the end of the semester and has her recital, she is proud of her performance and that she persevered. Sometimes kids just need that push or need you to work with them to get through things.

Nice. Thanks for the info.

No wonder I don't watch the NBA anymore.

For 180 degree turn from the humiliated child mentioned above, I heard about this story on a talk show yesterday..... Homeless, abandonded teen bound for Harvard

Trouble maker being a relative term. Spit balls and carrying on when you are supposed to be listening likely wouldn't even be worth a word from a teacher in today's world.

It was combined, but I don't remember him being in there. Your list of trouble makers above was pretty complete, except you missed Alan.

I was in Tupa's in 5th and with you for 6th with Miss Miller.

:lol: !! Man, you need to get over Palin. Fortunately he is doing something a little different, although you probably still wouldn't approve, since it is with the RNC. So did you end up in the hallway, too? 5th grade seemed like the punishment was the hallway, 6th grade was "go to the office".

When we were kids we either had to sit on the cold hard hallway floor or get sent to the office. Not that I ever had it happen to me. Watchmaker probably sat out there with me a couple of times for all I know. We homeschool our kids, so we don't have to use any locked time-out rooms, padded or not. They pretty much get the same treatment that I got, except it is wood floor.

Big Sky commissioner on Idaho's situation: Top of FCS is healthier than bottom of FBS Also of note.....

I have a hard time believing that the Big Sky presidents would vote out UND, knowing that UND is working toward and has been working toward retiring the name. If UND were thumbing their nose at the Big Sky saying "well, what are you going to do about it", then yes, I could see it. UND is somewhat of a victim in this, especially since the clock ran out on the settlement. They can't do anything with breaking the law, as stupid as the law is. The retirement of the name will happen and the presidents know this. It is just a matter of time.

From Vert et Or to Green and White

Take your pick..... Vandals.net and if you want the full WAC take..... WAC Board Someone has taken the time to fade the icons of the teams leaving the WAC on the WAC board.

I wonder how much attention has been redirected from UND to Montana in the Big Sky due to the federal investigations. The nickname is an issue that the UND administration has been attempting to put behind them, but have been handcuffed from doing so by the state. The Montana investigation also includes handcuffs, but in a different way. I don't see UND getting the boot and would love for Idaho to go back to the Big Sky.

Future of Vandals uncertain as WAC crumbles 2 weeks ago I would have thought Idaho back in the Big Sky highly improbable. Now I would put it at 50/50.

State of Hockey loses team to South Dakota This can't be good for bunny fans. I don't know much about the NAHL or how they schedule, but I'm sure that there will be conflicts with SDSU athletics.

Riders Wrap up their Draft

Some advice for you from Dean Wormer....

Horizon League looks to future as Butler bolts for A-10 It sounds like LeCrone wants to get Oakland.

Same could be said about just about any politician.

It was politically expedient.

I have read a number of different site over the past few days and am amazed to read how many people think this is something that UND should just fix and move on. UND has not had control over this issue for years. The president was lambasted for trying to retire it after the settlement deadline passed. UND, the state representatives from GF and I would guess that a majority of people from GF are in favor of retiring the Fighting Sioux name. Yet I continue to read where UND should fix their mess. I am hoping this thing dies next month and we can all* put it in the rear view mirror. * DaveK and and Fetch excluded.

Figures.
