BIGSIOUX

i will agree with what you said, i pointed out that the students arent even getting a fair shake on this board but i think some of it is due to a few students unrealistic line of thought. See how that works? I can see both sides of the debate....and dont jump to the "swearing and standing thing" i dont think that is any question, its the respect issue im talking about.

ditto to both of your post Federov, a psychologist or sociologist would easily compare this debate to the current one going on in the sioux name forum. looks familiar doesn't it? General Public wants students to sit and not swear or drink because it is not okay for them. Native americans want the school to change name because they feel it is not okay for them. General public says Rah rah to one point, and says no way to the later? Im a supporter of the name, but sometimes everyone needs to take a listen to what exactly is coming outta there mouth and fingers, and try to be open and communicate without a negative attitude. People have been called jerks, idiots, and immature over the course of this thread by some of the same people who claim only the name changers result to calling names. possibly the most juvenile topic of discussion in a college setting i have seen.

we get it, there are other sports however

he could jump outta the gym, thats for sure, ran the point. would of had a great team, if brandt didnt shoot up garbage the entire year.

sioux fans aren't immune either, i remember a game 3 or 4 years ago where they handed out bean bag pucks, they littered the ice and the game had to be called with a few seconds left.

Hak better be tearin into this team right now, unless there is something going on within in the team that he is trying to work through words should be flying, maybe its time to question these guys, call em out see if anyone has the cahoneys to play like a man.

i saw it and voted so your efforts didnt fail! by the way, when was it news that sheryl swoops was gay?

ive gotten wine drunk with bo's mom in him and schneiders dorm room!!!! she was in town for a game he got benched in 01!

i too like grahamcraker's sig line, by chance i happened upon this little ditty while looking at famous quotes. what do you guys all think of this..... Mitakuye Oyasin. [We are all related.] Lakota Belief that 'belief' surely isnt being portrayed by a real lakota grahamkracker......

hopefully its some emotion that will get this team going!! it was stupid, but lets build on it!

Damnit Damnit Damnit WHY DOES SIOUX / RODENT WEEKEND HAVE To be this weekend....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so here is the dilema(i think i know what you all will say) Im in portland,OR the satellite party was great last year A. You stay at home and study for the 7 finals you have in 5 days. B. say the hell with grad school and the 100k youve allready invested in it. ugh..... is dataflix working well enough to be worth my time?

im noticing tech's arena has player benches on opposite sides of the ice, ive never saw this before, is it common? PS. Briggs is a sieve

not so sure what burns was doing at the end of the half, but ill take it. thank god he is no longer coaching here!

Light and law was a 2000$ question on jeopardy a ways back.

I respect the opinions that others have put forth so far on this issue, it is obvious that age differences are causing the division between city officials and students. My first springfest was in 2002, the year of the riot, i will admit it was absolutely outa control, and people could have easily gotten hurt. In the subsequent 3 springfests, the increased police enforcement and planning have IMO made it a controlled chaos that isnt out of hand. Some of you wish to change it back to the old way, i just dont think that is even close to a reality. It is the sad truth that students and young adults in general want to have alcohol involved with most social functions they take part in. You may say, well my son/daughter doesnt need alcohol to have fun at college, i may guess that your son/daughter isnt telling you everything they do! I think the students have done a great job of controlling themselves since 2002, and its a testament to there maturity, they realized that complete gluttony wasnt going to be tolerated and they gave a little. I would hope the city could realize this and grant the students the same amount of respect i feel they have earned. You may not think drinking is necessary for a college good time, it may be wisdom, and i respect that. But, wisdom is most easily learned through experience, and i am sure glad i was able to experience my four springfests!!

GK, I am confused, you try to deflect the history of YOUR people by saying how they were peaceful and friendly, yet you BRAG about their conquests/battles. You are proud of the way your people fought, and rightfully so. That is how UND by using the fighting sioux as a team name, is bringing honor to the sioux. It is honoring for someone to remember valiant and brave acts, as UND is by recognizing that the actions of Sioux people many years ago were indeed that. Your culture does not revolve around money? Wasn't more than a decade ago every reservation in the state was lining up to build a casino. Is that because NA really love video poker? It is about the $$, so is the NCAA. I will say you do not need money to have a rich life, but for you to say something so ignorantly is doing dis-service to your own level of intelligence.

ditto, kinda of sick of hearing about who has the best looking older sister...is it zajac or parise??? by the way...i met B BO's sis, she is fine

I try not to be, but i cant see how accumulating 160K in debt wont put there in a hell of a hurry I should be studying for finals

bigmrg, are you kidding me, i dont work! Im in grad school, i take out 40K a year to play on the internet!

im not missing that stupid crap at all, i hate when people take over message boards and think they need to post there 2 cents on everything, whether it applies or not, and of couse they are allways right
