UND Fan

In my opinion - we are unnecessarily getting uptight about this issue. Despite what we might think about what has transpired up until now, Kelley and Faison are smart individuals. They know this whole issue has been very controversial. They will not take steps that will further alienate and upset people. That would be totally unproductive - and just plain stupid! Obviously, Kelley, as the president, would be the one who will give the final stamp of approval. The above being said, I am a strong supporter of keeping the name. I am somewhat encouraged by what the legislature is looking at. Yesterday, I sent this e-mail to all house members. I have heard back from many of them - all responses so far have been positive. I would recommend everyone contacting them as well. See "E-mail ND House ........" thread under "Sioux Name" for their e-mail addresses. "I am a strong proponent of retaining the Fighting Sioux nickname and logo. I firmly believe that it honors the Sioux name and its people. I ask that you take the time to fully analyze House Bill 1263 and the ramifications of its passage. If you feel that passage will truly result in the retention of the name in a manner that the NCAA will accept, I strongly urge a "yes" vote. However, if it appears that this would simply "prolong the agony" with the end-result being the same as it is today, let's move on! Thank you for your consideration."

Thanks for the info - I sent the following note to all of them and have heard back from many. All said they agreed with my thoughts.

SiouxFan29 - I would recommend that you post this info in various other threads as I don't think that many people have seen it. I would do so but you started this so you should probably continue it. I am sure the UND fans in the hockey, BB and FB threads would be very interested in communicating with the House members.

I would think that this should be a very good thing!

What DTV channel?

Apparently SDSU has now offered Mollberg.

I have added quite a few 2012 prospects to Wiki. There are a couple of big kids from western ND that I am sure we are at least thinking about plus I have added MN players who were invited to UND's Junior Camp.

Do you know if UND is looking at him?

UND beat Chicago State by 10 this afternoon. I listened to it now and then - we were down by 3 at half but came back well in the 2nd half. Lots of 3s but another lousy day on the FT line. Over 50% on 3s, less than 50% on FTs. Huff had 20+.

What does he do for a living?

So he is the "Fighting Sioux SSSSSSCCCCCCCCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG guy"?

I don't live in the area - who is Darrin Looker and what does he do?

I would bet that he is but we better wait until it is confirmed.

I have created a "2012 Recruiting" page in Wiki. Let me know who else should be added. It is good to see UND being quite active with next year's recruiting. Does anyone know if there are any ND/NW MN kids that may be of DI caliber next year (other than Mollberg)?

Sioux10Fan Mollberg grew up idolizing the Manke boys from Detroit Lakes for all the right reasons. All three were great athletes, but even better people, so Mollberg is a Sioux fan. He also likes the Bison, but with 6 QBS on roster that will be tough. He is going to South Dakota this weekend for a junior day. All kids dream about D1 and I heard he is going to junior days at MN, Iowa and WI. Air Force has contacted him as they run the veer, which is what DL runs in HS. (Ironically it was Tim Brewster who told Air Force about him after Brewster was let go) Mollberg has a year to make any decision, so there is no rush at this point.

Sioux10Fan Joe Mollberg. Class of 2012 quarterback from Detroit Lakes High School, was offered by the Sioux last week. Mollberg will be attending junior days at SDSU, MN, UND, and Iowa in the next four weeks. ***************** You must be familiar with him - does he have any favorites, connections with any specific schools, etc? ***************** Sioux10Fan Mollberg grew up idolizing the Manke boys from Detroit Lakes for all the right reasons.

I asked 2-3 times yesterday (to different coaches) if all players from last fall's roster were back in school this semester. Now I understand why I didn't get an answer. I hope Murray is the only one not back!

Thanks for the insight. Not surprisingly, I was hoping to hear that she might provide some immediate help but I am sure your assessment is accurate. Hopefully, she will work hard and become a real contributor down the line.

I see Roehrich scored 31 last night. Who has seen her play? Will she be a major contributor next year?

Is that our normal green? It looks extra light/bright.

Thx

Update?

Well said!!!

This is getting scary!!

I am sure that all Sioux fans are extremely pleased to learn that you are feeling well! Hang in there - you will remain in our prayers!

Why in the heck are you giving Shiloh grief? He is just wanting to stimulate conversation. If you want a poll, set one up!! Plus, your comment that the sum of "odds" must equal 1 is not fact! Don't respond with some rebuttal - there is no need to debate this! If you don't like this thread, stay away from it.
