2011 NHL Draft Prospect: Rocco Grimaldi

It wasn't over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor, but it was after Nagasaki was bombed. Consider this the atom bomb on Nagasaki for the Fighting Sioux name. Note 1: I know the Germans didn't bomb Pearl Harbor. Note 2: I'm not trying to make light of a bomb dropped on people.

To say that this is a game changer is an understatement. I have been hopeful that UND would remain the Fighting Sioux, but it looks to me like there is no way around this. Those who want to keep the name for the sake of the hockey team, will soon be outnumbered. UND needs a conference. If the Big Sky has reservations, as did the Summit. Is there a conference that won't? It is time to put the wheels in motion for a change by July 1, 2012. Whether it is a determination that UND just goes by North Dakota or a new name is chosen, this is too big to ignore.

Do you ever read the comments posted to stories on the Herald or Forum websites. Some of the comments have all kinds of crazy accusations. Are we going to start hunting down these people or allow them to have the freedom to post. I hope we don't get to the day where you or I or someone else on this forum have to worry that something we post on SiouxSports.com gets us in legal trouble. Some other changes that have or will change our lives,,,,, The light bulb law of 2012.. The toilet law of 1992. One day they will be telling you what to wear and what to eat. How about a law regarding men's genitals? Freedoms are being taken from us.

While I'm not defending what UND did to Ms. Hoffert, this is getting to be more the norm in today's society. In the past two weeks I have had two friends affected by such action. In one case the company dropped the top two people from their positions on a Wednesday without notice. My friend was then installed as the new regional manager the next day. In the other case another friend was dropped from his district manager position of one my competitors two days after I had talked to hm about how business was going. I haven't had a chance to talk to him since I learned he was fired, but if he knew he was on the way out the door, he didn't give me any hints. Regardless if a change of direction was to be made at UND, Ms. Hoffert had earned the privilege, after 37 years of service, of resigning, rather than being removed in such a manner.
