This is what I immediately thought of, too, when I saw the comment earlier. This speech comes from the former VP of the Confederacy under Jeff Davis and delivered just before the onset of the Civil War. States rights, growing economic disparities between agrarian and manufacturing industries and a brave new world of even more interconnected geopolitical influences also were huge issues at the time (albeit, most of which were also tied to the question of slavery) but to suggest the threat of losing its "peculiar institution" -- the Culture War of that time -- wasn't the core reason in favor of secession is a hard one to swallow. Here is the oft quoted line from the speech: "Its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests upon the great truth, that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery—subordination to the superior race—is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth.

I check in from time to time, out of amusement, to see if anyone has won, or even convinced anyone, yet. Rock on, Sisyphus, I mean, Siouxsports!

Ramsey the heir apparent to Marlon?

It was definitely a cow. Good for Title IX and all, I guess.

Contributing at the plate: UND pitchers accounted for 4 hits, 9 runs (4 runs + 5 RBIs), including 3 HRs on the weekend for the Hawks who are now 3-2. They took wins from two league champions in the process. All in all a good first outing.

Check out the stat line for UND winning pitcher Senior Nikki Pica in the game with Incarnate Word in San Antonio. 2 for 2, 3 RBIs with 2 HRs 3 innings pitched, 2 hits, 2 runs, 1 earned, 2 BB and 3 Ks in the come from behind win! UND is 1-1 after two hard fought games, dropping its first to Creighton. check it out:

Last three Altru presidents (Weiser, Lunn and Ryan) go back nearly 25 years. Did Brown precede them?

Not sure how that works, as I was at both games. It seemed fuller at the men's game. Me and my two companions had our tickets scanned once at the beginning of the women's game and then we, like most of the crowd, just stayed in the building for the 30 minutes between games. We did not have to get new tickets for the men's game nor get them re-scanned. Hmmm? Dave

Keplin is a player! Love her motor and her tenacity.

That’s not been UND’s M.O. The coaches like to keep the competitive spirit going up until week prior to first game.

Absolutely agree! We’ll get there.

True. And yet we beat one of them and handed another one a victory at their place, losing by a gift FG.

?? The practice bubble vs. HPC?

It's likely that many of the DI Teams that we are traveling to this season, will make return trips to the Betty next year. NDSU is probably just enjoying the "the return-trip" year of the arrangements it made with its non-con DI opponents. A few years back Ben Jacobson brought his UNI squad to the Betty to return the favor of us traveling to UNI, I believe, as just one example..

If eligible, hoping the flashes OW was showing in 2018 will re-emerge in 2020 as a tough, fast bowling ball.
