I'd rather have the Fighting Sioux nickname.

I think the school board & Kelly would look pretty bad if both tribes had convincing victories for keeping the name. Isn't this exactly what the NCAA is asking for...the minority of the voters would have to accept this, wouldn't they? We are still in the United States of America, aren't we?

It was actually 233 years ago. Obama doesn't really give a sh*t about our Constitution either.

I'm with Goon & Sprig

Good luck with that...the pc crowd is always right no matter what.

The University of North Dakota...PERIOD...NO NICKNAME

Duncan's hockey career is NOT over yet...Bonin's is.

We all know that the media is 90% to the left, I don't think FOX wants that to change anytime soon...FOX rating numbers are through the roof right now. I can't believe other media outlets don't change their ways.

8 players have the flu...Andy Taranto(leading scorer) was the only one that couldn't play. Blaiser didn't use the sickness as an excuse. I've seen about 30 Force games this season, last night was as bad as I've seen them play. On a positive note, Cichy is ready for D1 hockey, it'll be good to see him in a Sioux uniform.

Fargo Force go up 1-0 for the Clark Cup Championship. They won in Indy last night 2-1 with a goal with 38 seconds remaining...7-0 in the playoffs...unreal.

That is a great article by Mr. Harvey Uken and a another great piece by Douglas L. in the comment section. I have been a fan of Fighting Sioux sports since the 1970's, I've had nothing but the utmost respect for the Sioux name and always will. I have taught our 3 kids to honor the name and make sure they respect the name...our daughter is a senior in high school, she will be attending the University of North Dakota this fall wearing her Sioux apparell with pride.

Damn straight, DamStraight Yes there are Bison fans that are Sioux hockey fans, but I think we all know that a big majority of Bison fans would love the Sioux name to just go away. Would MplsBison or any other Bison fans fight for the Bison name if a minority of people wanted to take that away?

Though it's early in the playoffs...top 3 in NHL +/- 1) Zach Parise 2) Jonathan Toews 3) Travis Zajac

Nick Mattson is going to be a very good player for the Sioux...hard to believe he's only a junior in high school. I think Cam Fowler has been our(USA) best defensemen so far, with Nick a close second. The USA-Canada game last night was great. If you plan on going to the Gold Medal Game(USA-USSR) tomorrow night, I would suggest getting your tickets right away. I just came from the UP Center, it will be sold out.

I've always thought coaching was a big part of any sport, but what Blaiser along with Jason Herter & Chad Johnson have done with the Fargo Force team is amazing. The Force were simply not very good at the start of the season, after sweeping Omaha they are in a great postition to go deep in the playoffs. Dean's reaction after the OT goal on Sunday night was great, he was jumping all over the bench. We all know Dean could coach just about anywhere at any level, to see him enjoying an OT win in the 1st round of the USHL playoffs was pretty cool.

I totally agree...I'll take Denny's 30 years of experience & the great leadership we have here in Fargo over the NWS. That being said, I'm very happy with the NWS reading of 38-40ft...hopefully no more sandbagging later this week.

That would be devasting. I'm no expert, but I agree with Walaker that it'll be between 37-38, 40 tops. So if we were in Vegas I'D say 38.5

Pending until Thursday or Friday now.

Looks like Fargo-Moorhead dikes will be going to 44ft. today(Monday).

I live in a south Fargo home in the Meadow Creek develop...what went on this past week is nothing short of unbelieveable. We are still not in the clear by no means. Both Fargo & Moorhead are built to 43 ft...hopefully everything holds. It's going to be great to watch some Sioux hockey this afternoon...GO SIOUX

The Bison attendance will obviously go up next year with their success this year. I think the Force attendance will also increase next year with their success and improvements to the UP Center(Mainly the parking lot). This crazy economy may have a bearing on that though.

Even though we lost that 2001 Championship game to St Cloud, it was one of the funnest games I've ever been at. Coming back to tie it with 3 late goals and the atmosphere at the X that night was amazing.

I have 3 Suite tickets available for tonights game

Dean Blais was on the radio today saying that he has never coached a team that has progressed as well as his Fargo Force team has this year. He said that included his time as head coach and assistant coach at UND...that's kind of saying a lot. The Force won all 3 games this weekend, including an 8-0 win over Des Moines yesterday. Des Moines has 4 Sioux recruits, 2 Gopher recruits and a number of other top end talent. The Force are slowing becoming a Force.

Last week I heard they were getting close to resolving this, anyone heard anything?
