Hopefully another nice addition! Tall, lean, and athletic. Judging by his free-throw percentage, he should fit right in...................... I kid, I kid. Welcome to the University Mr. Nash. Everybody wanted "bigs" for this team, now the staff has brought in 3 of them in the past month..........................

Dan, I know the interlocking ND is a pet-peeve of yours, and that is fine...................... But do you really get confused when you see a New York Yankees and New York Mets hat at the same time? It is the initials of our state...................and personally, I think the re-design from a couple years ago looks pretty sharp. ND is where I am from, so I'm not embarrassed by the letters...................

Old Dominion is leaving the CAA for Conference USA starting in 2013.........................

I think the "kill the nickname" crowd could be better described as the "Save the University of North Dakota" crowd.............................. And this isn't World War II........................this is a cartoonish and abstract figment of somebody's imagination that we are all arguing over.

If there was ever possibly a better sports nickname in the state of North Dakota that the Fighting Sioux, it was the Satans. Man that was cool.............

I'm not following your correlation, but even if I could, as usual it is mostly wrong. Agriculture has been, currently is, and always will be the engine that drives North Dakota's economic bus. The development of the oil patch is like a turbo-charger that was recently added to that engine to boost performance. Someday, the bearings on that turbo will fail, and it will either be replaced with something else or simply removed, leaving the engine to all the work itself.

Radio interview with Idaho A.D.: http://www.sportsradiokjr.com/pages/ianfurness_page.html?article=10117626 -His main goal is to preserve FBS football at Idaho -Questions the direction of the Big Sky -Thinks there will be 3 tiers of DI football in the future: BCS, FBS, FCS..........he wonders if the Big Sky will be in the 2nd Tier or 3rd Tier -Wants Idaho to be in a position to be in the 2nd Tier -Basically, he wants the Big Sky Conference, or at least a number of its top tier members to move to FBS

You're right, but under the category of "rumored to go FCS", you could also include North Dakota, NDSU, Sac St, Portland St, UC Davis Cal Poly, Youngstown, Missouri St, Illinois St., Sam Houston, yadda yadda yadda...................

Am I the only one who thinks that Anderson is by far the most valuable player on this team?

Quality of membership alone would make the jump from the Summit into the Horizon a sound one.

I don't see what all the fuss is about. It's not like they are locking kids in there for hours on end. If my kid ended up in there and came home whining about it, I'd ask him "what did you do to end up in there?".

USD will have no reservations about the Summit for so long as SDSU is a member of it. It is obvious who wears the pants in that family...................

How does that "put the ball in the NCAA's court"? I have to hear this..........................

Something that scares me is the fact that many of the same people that voted Al Carlson into office will also be voting on this measure.....................

So far, 81% of SiouxSports.com members intend to support the University and its athletic programs. That is great news. Sadly, I fear that most people that are members of the this site are much more informed on this crucial subject than are the vast majority of the potential voters that will turn out for the election..............................

I agree that the pre-game intro last season was totally lame. Along with the clips of players on the big screen screaming for the fans to make some noise. In the past though I thought the stuff on the Alerus video screens were pretty good. I really liked the 2010 intro with Corey Colehour and Rob Bollinger speaking about the traditions at North Dakota. Agree, though that they should contract or something to the people at the Ralph to produce this stuff for the Alerus. They do a first class job. But the in-game promotions are really no different than at REA. At hockey games you've always got students answering trivia questions and singing lyrics to Pat Benatar songs too........................

I think they should build the stadium. They'd be stupid not to. The Wilfs are offering up 1/3 of the money. That is not common in NFL stadium negotiations. But since I am not a Vikings fan, I'd also enjoy the chaos that would ensue if they relocated...................... Either way, I'm not affected all that much................ Disclaimer: I live in North Dakota. I have no dog in the fight since I'm not Minnesotan nor a Vikings fan.

Actually, I'm just not a Vikings proponent.................... If the legislature is stupid enough to let them leave, especially after going through the exact same scenario with the Northstars, the Wild, and the Excel, then they deserve to have the Vikings bolt on their watch..............................

That makes him one of my favorites...............................

I would hate to see NDSU join the Big Sky. As far as Idaho, I never considered the angle where they could be added and UND tossed as a result. I think the chances of that are remote, but that's a new concept to me that I don't care for obviously. Since we joined the Big Sky, I've really wanted to have Idaho drop down and rejoin. I figure it would have huge stabilizing effect on the league. It would give 14 members for football, and 12 for everything else. All of the schools that matter in the Big sky would be ecstatic to have them, mainly the Montana schools.

A fan? Ummm, no. DaveK hates North Dakota Football and Hockey, there is no way around it. It is as clear as the sky is blue. He obviously cannot stand UND and wishes to see every facet of the institution fail on a grand scale. Where his disdain for the University comes from is known only to him, as he refuses to enlighten the rest of us as to why he so clearly wants to see North Dakota football and hockey crumble into the ashes............................

Keep telling yourself that you are on the "moral high-road"........................ It is obvious that you have no regard for the University as a whole, or its athletic programs including hockey and football. You have made it very clear that you are no friend of any facet of UND...........athletically or academically. I just can't figure out why you hate North Dakota hockey and football as much as you obviously do...........................

A better description of yourself would be that you are anti-University of North Dakota.............................

AWESOME!!!!!!! So you'll be leaving here, right?.................
