  1. The NCAA is just too powerful. I'd say I'm a hockey guy 1st, but very supportive of all sports at UND. This opportunity to be in the Big Sky is just too big, the NCAA has the trump card. Things could have been different with a vote at Standing Rock or our leadership would have been supportive of the Fighting Sioux name. President Kelley & the NCAA are liberal thinking people, they know what's best for everyone. :angry:

    Political Correctness has taken over this country like wildfire the past few years. If we have to give up the greatest nickname & logo in the country, I hope we just go with the University of North Dakota. President Kelley seems like a nice person, but people will never forget how he handled the Fighting Sioux nickname issue. I don't think I'm alone on this.

  2. Here are the scores of the last 10 games:

    1994 UND 34 @ NDSU 13

    1995 UND 21 vs NDSU 7

    1996 UND 33 @ NDSU 19

    1997 UND 10 vs NDSU 31

    1998 UND 39 @ NDSU 25

    1999 UND 13 vs NDSU 10

    2000 UND 13 @ NDSU 16

    2001 UND 19 vs NDSU 7

    2002 UND 12 @ NDSU 6

    2003 UND 28 vs NDSU 21 OT

    Playoffs:

    1994 UND 14 vs NDSU 7

    1995 UND 10 vs NDSU 41

    UND's record in Fargodome: 4-1

    NDSU's record in the Alerus Center: 0-2

    From what I see there's no question who the superior team is.

  3. Red at Wahpeton has leveled off as it is starting to at Hixon as well. Wild Rice at Abercrombie is starting to level off today as well. Crest will be before Sunday and lower IMO what the NSW predicted. Leaving for the Frozen 4 at noon. No worries here.

    In Walaker we trust!

    Walaker has done a good job for a lot of years, but there have been many people that have done a good job. We live in Meadow Creek...2 years ago the flood preparation was well organized, but very choatic...this year the waters are close to the same and the neighborhood is going on like nothing is happening.

    Oxbow6...Have a blast today at the game, hopefully we'll be down in St. Paul Saturday...GO SIOUX

  4. As far as the radio show goes. He will be great at professional sports, particularly baseball. He will be very good at the local and national college sports scene, as well as High School sports. UND fans need to understand up front that he is not going to break down the Sioux hockey team, he will need to rely on others to fill that void...he is definitely not a hockey guy.

    Classy post Johnny Five, but Jack Michaels seems knowledgeable about hockey. For his 1st show today, he had Mike Peluso(Minnesota-Duluth), Justin Theel(Notre Dame) & Mitch Vig(UND) on to talk about the Frozen Four, he seemed to know what he was talking about. Jack looks to be very well rounded, looking forward to having him here in Fargo and doing Fighting Sioux football this fall.

  5. There was a racial incident a couple months ago...don't remember what it was about. But both Fox and MSNBC had Sharpton on that night as the Elder Statesman/Voice of reason. And he actually did sound reasonable. I was impressed.

    Sharpton can actually be reasonable at times and is a funny guy...then he has to make money and do what he does.

  6. Correct but which way do you think most are leaning now?

    Let's see...Kelly can't "remember" with Douple and has "no idea whatsoever" on the potential costs to clean up the Ralph from the Sioux issue.

    Now he is shipping people to Bismarck to help get the name and logo finished off.

    You do the math...

    From what I've read on this board & what I've learned elsewhere, there's no question President Kelley wanted to get rid of the Fighting Sioux name. I still can't believe the name has a chance of staying with the University of North Dakota, a couple weeks ago I thought there was no chance.

  7. Its a nickname for goodness sakes. Should it be the number 1 Priority? Seems crazy, no matter how much fans want to bow down to the nickname.

    From your point of view it may seem crazy, from mine it seems crazy not to fight for the Fighting Sioux name. I've been around the Sioux name for close to 50 years, the University of North Dakota has embraced the name and did more for Native Americans than any University in our area by far for 80 years. This whole thing was started by the NCAA, how do they know how things work up here? So now we need approval of 2 tribes...Spirit Lake approves by a large margin...Standing Rock would do the same if given the chance, we all know how crooked that operation was.

    Herd...It's very easy to come on this board and spout out "It's a nickname for goodness sake", espically when you're an NDSU fan. For a lot of us it's very special, my 8 year old boy keeps asking me "why do we have to get rid of the Fighting Sioux name?". I really don't know how to answer that question. I pray common sense and "what's right is right" prevails.

  8. So who do we believe: President Kelley vs Douple or Kolpack? I choose President Kelley. Douple is feeling snubbed and rejected. He now has the Big Sky footprint at his backdoor. Kolpack, well his bias speaks for itself.

    Today would be a good day for President Kelley to step to the plate. We all know the Fighting Sioux nickname is hanging on by a thread, why not try get yourself in good graces with the 90%+ of UND students & alumni that want to keep the name? The facts are all there...the NCAA needs the support of 2 tribes-Spirit Lake overwhelming supports it, Standing Rock would do the same if given the opportunity. Obviously President Kelley doesn't have the emotion that a lot of us do, but he does have the power to make things happen. With the recent headlines, I would recommend President Kelley do something.

  9. I believe the potential title of Senator will trump potential title of Governor.

    He, IMO, would win either race...a senate seat will be too tough to pass up.

    You may be right...Politics(Senate & House) in North Dakota has changed dramatically the past few months.

  10. Hextall back in the line-up along with Nelson and forbort! Go Sioux!!

    Direct tv - 617

    That's great news, hopefully Gregoire can get back in the lineup soon.

    I see the game is on Directv 617 tonight...they don't show anything for tomorrow(Saturday) night though. Anyone know if it's on Directv tomorrow?
