GeauxSioux

Starting a game thread that I know I won't be able to finish. I am following the game via Live Chat over at Fightingsioux.com. Sioux are up 7-1 about 3 1/2 minutes into the game.

UND opening way for new unmanned aircraft training centre

I always loved the Riverboat Sandwich. Haven't been there since 2009, but it was nearly empty for dinner the last time I was there. The old Whitey's was my favorite restaurant. The wink and nod way of getting a table was something I haven't seen since. Between the Antique and Whitey's i had all of my eating and drinking needs met. Pre-flood EGF was the place to be.

This song popped in my head and hasn't left for two days.

More info on the enrollment numbers....UND Posts Largest-Ever Spring Enrollment: 13,458

UND reports record spring enrollment

Didn't we already do that here? In response to Bison Dan's post..... With the recent upgrades to Kraft Field, I don't think baseball is on the chopping block at this time.

Got it for you.

"BC Connection" from the late 70's. Was it Kevin Maxwell, Cary Eades and Mark Taylor?? There was also the "Zap Line" with Rick Zaparnuik (sp?) at center.

IF they were able to keep the logo to go along with North Dakota Fighting Spirit to honor the people of Spirit Lake and the stand they took, I could support this.

Bleacher Report.... I am usually dumber after reading it and this was no exception.

I see that Brad tweeted that they had 2,182 on the live chat on Saturday. Wow! Unfortunately I wasn't one of them due to power outage. I had to catch scores via blackberry.

The fake by Anderson going down the lane was pretty nice, too. He caught the Bronc player flat-footed and scored any easy lay-up.

Seconded.

Split??? You stink Dave. We get CBS College Sports here, so I get to see the Sioux on TV once again tonight. I watched BB last night, hockey tonight and BB tomorrow. It's almost like living in GF, but warmer.

UND signs key document to start unmanned aircraft simulator training building at GFAFB

Before I offer the crazy question, I want to say that I can't wait for the Sioux to become an official member of the Big Sky and I'm just tossing this out there to get kicked around. What if .... The Sioux went FBS? The WAC is begging for schools to join. One of the reasons that has been given for allowing the Sioux to forgo the nickname and logo, is that that UND wouldn't be able to host any NCAA playoffs games. The only teams that I can think of that could host NCAA playoff games are the football team and possibly the women's hockey team. If the Sioux went the FBS route, their is no playoffs. You are playing football for conference championships and bowl appearances. Sure the Sioux wouldn't be able to play Minnesota or Iowa, but I'm sure there are a large number of teams that would play the Sioux. UND could tell the NCAA, put us back on your "hostile and abusive" list, we are keeping the name.

DVRd the game last night and watched it late. Fun game to watch. I don't think I have ever seen teams hit such a high percentage of 3's. Reading the box score, they both hit 63.2% on 3-pointers. The Sioux played pretty good "O", but now need to start working on the "D". Too many times last night the Broncs went right past the guards and into the lane. The Broncs also had 8 offensive rebounds. Still ....good to see a "W" With all five of the players in double figures being freshman, the future of Sioux BB is looking up. Go SIOUX!!!

You and Dave Berger need to start a club.

Faison's Press Conference The written statement was solid. The video adds emphasis to some of the words such as "never".

Faison's response.... Edit: I like the last sentence the best.

Agreed.

UND does not control this issue. SBoHE does. The SBoHE hired Kelley. Kelley hired Faison, so it woiuld make sense that since President Kelley cannot control the issue, his AD can't come out on one side or the other on the issue.

Faison is emphatic that the UND administration did not do what Douple said they did. Faison isn't allowed to have an opinion on the nickname/logo issue. Listening to him, though, he likes the fan's pride in the name. I think if allowed to have an opinion he would keep the Sioux name. He also recognizes the revenue that is generated from jersey sales and that it will take a hit , if the name changes.

Kelley denies pressuring Summit League on nickname issue
