For the teams who have to play UND, yes. Our favorite hockey team is playing really, really well.

...What? Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?...

From the article: "Brian Lee’s crushing hit (video) on Palushaj to keep the puck in the offensive zone" Clearly this is a different Brian Lee. Just kidding. Good for him.

I am no political expert — nor did I spend last night at a Holiday Inn Express — but I'd say Carlson's seat is quite safe.

QFI

10-109-10 Can that be right?

I was thinking Tribbles, but yeah.

Let's just win Friday and see what Saturday brings.

^Funny!

I think the operative word is "directed".

I'm surprised Blais didn't go thermonuclear on that. I see Don Adam reffed the game...

And the hits just keep on coming...

One of six bullets for instance.

I think we are talking about the same thing here, but I might be confused: 1. Carlson's Law makes Fighting Sioux indelible; 2. CL is repealed after NCAA laughs delegation back to ND, removing Fighting Sioux from state law; 3. "Repeal" law is subject of petition drive and statewide vote, which, if successful would revoke the repeal and again make Fighting Sioux the law of ND. (As of now, the repeal law is simply in limbo; if the statewide vote fails, the repeal stands.) I would guess the SBoHE has challenged Carlson's Law as being unconstitutional. If that challenge is upheld by the SCOND, the Repeal Law is rendered moot since the law it repealed is no longer law.

I'd say you have it right here, Sic. IMO, if Carlson's law is found to be unconstitutional, the repeal of said law is moot, and the statewide vote reinstate the (unconstitutional) law is illegal. (And, just to keep things tidy here, the story cited is an AP post, not from The Forum)

I admire your spirit and your optimism, but this ^ is really like playing Russian roulette with a fully-loaded revolver.

Can we get back to bashing S.A.B. here? All this hockey talk is clogging up the thread.

Whoa! Inflation.

Is your name Barry or Joel? If not, how can you "know for a fact"?

If only this was literally true.

In all fairness to John Chaske and the rest of the petition people, I agree with him "Who is really hurting the student athletes at UND? Where is the true source of this harm coming from? The real source of harm is the NCAA and its policies and sanctions against UND, not the Fighting Sioux name and symbol." The problem with the statement is that — until he, his group, or a Federal court convinces the NCAA to change their stance — the harm is a foregone conclusion. All the wringing of hands and the gnashing of teeth in North Dakota is not going to change anything. The change has to be accomplished in Indianapolis, IN.

You did that on purpose, didn't you?

I understand your position, and agree that the NC$$ will not be swayed by a bunch of flatlanders here on the Plains. I would, however, like to believe Congress has a lot more important things to do than take the NC$$ to the woodshed, regardless of the fact that it is a deserved trip.

Right on the money here, Ira.
