I find it hard to believe that if there truely were pictures like this around, that someone would not have scanned them and posted somewhere to show the world how awful it is on campus at UND. BRIDGES comes to mind. I went to UND in 1976. I never once saw anyone dress up as an Indian. I have been going to football and hockey games at UND for years and have NEVER seen anyone in feathers or warpaint or anything like that. I have only seen respect for the SIOUX , all Native Americans, and ALL races in general. I would think that if anyone were to show up at a game at UND like this, that they would be asked to leave.

People usually do a search for people who live close to them (you choose a city and then how many miles from there that you want your results from). That is how I found many of my friends on myspace.

Could it be Christopher Peltier, former president of the UNDIA, who resigned due to the criticism of those 5 vocal anti-Sioux name people who are good at getting their faces in the media all the time? Just why are the Indians who are for the name at UND always ignored? I didn't know that CP was for the name until he quit.

If you ever drive from Fort Totten to Sheyenne, take notice of the new business that is along highway 281. About the same time that UND retired the Sioux-per Hot Dog stand, a propane business went up called Sioux-per Propane. I guess gas is better than hot dogs.

But do you really believe that retiring the logo and name will make all of your problems cease to exist? We have learned from Dartmouth this week that it has really done nothing in the last 34-36 years to improve their problems. Maybe it would be best to seek the blessings and ask for help from the Sioux tribes in honoring the Sioux name and logo in the most fitting way.

If UND lost their battle with the NCAA, would they be allowed to, as an example, be "Force of the North", and keep the current logo? Some Sioux say it is not a Sioux Indian in the logo, so could it be the "Spirit" of the past people who lived in the north? Not affiliated with any specific tribe, just a person of the past.

We could actually learn from Dartmouth. Those who want UND to lose the Sioux name need to take a hard look at what is going on at that campus. Has their name change (or lack of a name) done anything to improve racial tension? No, it appears to have only gotten worse. Could this happen at UND? I would hope not, but only history will show us. History that is still in our future. If you search enough, you will find that 1. their cheerleaders used to dress in Indian costumes 2. they had an Indian cheer called

All I can say is "uff da" Biography of Governor Hoeven At least he wised up and left Dartmouth to get his master's. On second thought I will say more. If the NCAA had stayed out of this in the first place, people wouldn't have even realized they were in "pain" over any of this. Almost like going to work and having everyone tell you that you don't look like you feel well, until you begin to actually feel sick. I have also heard some of the Sioux point out that it hasn't been "Sioux" Indians that have been vocal about a name change, but it has been Indians who belong to other tribes. Could this be because those tribes don't like that the "Sioux" are getting all of the attention? After all, we do feel that we are doing what we can to honor the Sioux. Much like a child being named after a special uncle or grandfather. We wouldn't have chosen the Sioux if we had not wanted it to be an honor.

The Dartmouth - Debating Indian Mascots - Opinion Letter from August 2005 Just visit The Dartmouth and do a search for "Indians". Pretty interesting stuff going on at that place. A New Angle on the Mascot

Good night. Better luck tomorrow.

Ok, crap. I hate not winning.

It's not over yet!!!!

I saw that too. It should not have been a goal. But thats our friend Shep.

The video feed is super for me. It's just a few seconds behind the radio. I am getting sick of hearing that blarring horn of theirs.

Darn it.

I work for an ISP, and YES, they can trace activity from a computer on the Internet. When there is a complaint, it is handled through the police via a subpoena. This is the only time that we do the digging involved to gather information to trace "hacking" or "cracking" or any type of harassment that would warrant it. So yes, be careful what you do on the Internet, they will find you if you do anything illegal and someone goes to the police about it.

Your posts are there.

Ok.. McVille then Devils Lake Just because I am such a homer.

UND basketball players prove to be a big hit at Fort Totten

NCAA chief ponders donors' limits

Reading that was a total waste of my time. Only Myles Brand thinking the NCAA should limit donations to member schools confuses me more. Maybe they both need to stop thinking out loud.

This whole thread is turning into something I heard in a sermon in church last Sunday. "If you look for bad, wrong, evil, or the negative in something, that is all you will see."

I am offended by both Nick Coleman and Mike McFeely, but my being offended does not stop them from writing. Hmmm.

I disagree with so many of Mike Jacobs points in this that I cannot even begin to list them.
