Per Jason King's column on ESPN.com:
Kansas' bench: The Jayhawks got just nine points from their reserves in Saturday's 84-58 victory over North Dakota -- and all of them came from shooting guard Conner Teahan. Part of the reason is because Bill Self is clearly losing trust in his non-starters. Only five Jayhawks played double-digit minutes Saturday.

Why do you care now? UND has basically dropped the name from any official status, and I doubt it will ever return. Don't you have other team names to cheer for? I've heard Moorhead High has a "cool" name
Sllllam!

Wow, I must have killed the conversation with my previous response. This thread it appears to have died.
Pragmatic and logical approaches to thinking tend to kill threads. Buzz kill!

that Gaarder 13 is fast becoming one of our best players
I thought the same thing after watching him in person Friday and Saturday. Very impressive player with a lot of upside potential. Reminds me of Trupp.

North Dakota student named Vikings scholarship winner during Minnesota-Chicago football game
The end of University of North Dakota alum Jim Kleinsasser’s professional football career might also mark the start of Jacob Greenmyer’s career in medicine.
Today in Minneapolis during the final game of the regular season between the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears, Greenmyer, a 17-year-old senior from Stirum, N.D., who attends North Sargent High School in Gwinner, N.D., was named the recipient of the Vikings $10,000 academic scholarship to UND.
It was the final game for Kleinsasser, a native of Carrington, N.D., who recently announced his retirement after playing 13 years as a tight end for the Vikings. The former UND star and his wife, Christa, started the scholarship, which was presented to Greenmyer during pre-game activities at the Mall of America Field.
In his essay, Greenmyer, a cancer survivor, recounted his medical battles since age 9, how he overcame them and how those experiences led to the idea of pursuing a career in medicine.
“Reflecting on the early stages of my life and the virtues of hard work and perseverance I had based my ethics off of, I realized that the University of North Dakota was the only possibility for my college education,” he wrote. “It has a top tier medical program, and just as importantly I believe it embodies the same values and beliefs that are home grown in North Dakota, attributes I have used on the farm and to fight for my life.”
Attending the game with Greenmyer were his parents (Ron and Chelie), grandparents (Connie and Jerry Zetocha), two brothers (Andrew and Joseph) and his sister (Annah) who watched from a private suite.
Kleinsasser, was one of the best players ever to suit up for UND. Following a four-year career at the University from 1995-1998, he was drafted by the Vikings as a tight end in the second round of the NFL draft. He is the longest-tenured pro athlete in the Twin Cities and was inducted into North Dakota High School Hall of Fame in 2008.
The scholarship – intended for an incoming freshman in 2012 -- attracted more than 250 applicants from eight states and the United Kingdom.
Greenmyer was also selected based on his high school GPA and standardized test scores, as well as his personal statement highlighting his career goals, achievements, how he overcame adversity and what the opportunity to study at UND would mean to his future.
Kleinsasser participated in promotional television and radio spots to promote the scholarship. In them, he talked about his love for UND and how his years at the University have helped him in life.
Off the field, Kleinsasser has worked extensively with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, serving with his wife to host the annual fundraising ball in the Twin Cities. He participates annually in the Epilepsy Foundation Clothing Drive and the North Dakota Special Olympics Games.

You do realize that the school can't pick a "new" nickname for 3 years right? Spirit Lake Sioux is a "new" nickname, and there is no way in hell the school would do this. Who wants to repeat what has gone on with the current nickname over the last 7 40 years.
-
I guess I read the column like this. Sacramento St. is concerned with the travel costs to ND within conference play. I'm willing wager that they along with a number of other far west schools in the Big Sky would be more than thrilled to show us the door under the disguise of the nickname situation, to get the end result of getting out of travel to ND. Even though it proves that it's not really about the nickname...its the travel--by having the nickname it gives them the ammunition and an actionable item to vote on.
Bingo! We have a wiener.

More old news from Say Anything. This is a month old.
But it has "Arrogant" in the title so....................
It was a request to the media not a demand or edict as Say Anything is distorting.
Here is the actual e-mail that was sent out:
Greetings!
As you know, the University of North Dakota is in the process of transitioning away from the Fighting Sioux nickname and logo. Through this email I am formally asking that you, in your news coverage, helping us with this transition by restricting your use of the nickname and logo to those stories that are about the transition process and/or the nickname issue. In other words, if you are covering some other aspect of the University – even if it is related to athletics, such as the success of our student athletes, the success of a particular team, etc. – I ask that you use “University of North Dakota” or “North Dakota” and use the UND flame logo or the interlocking ND logo with those stories.
Thank you for your help with this transition process. I greatly appreciate it.
My best for a great 2012,

I will make a prediction, nothing, nix, nine, nadda, nay will happen to Kelley. The MSM will also not cover this because it's a non story to them.
It's already in the works, Goon. Chuck Haga is working on it as we speak. Stay tuned. Unless you don't include the Herald in the MSM.

OK... on the last day of voting .... we finally broke under 1,000 to catch Moore. Our thinning margin won't last long as they are averaging about 10 votes very five minutes, and our votes for Muss have been lagging in the last hour. Let's give it one final push!
Here is the score as for 2:30 p.m. Jerry Moore 10,720
Mussman 9,732

Pretty much sums him up.
Or not.

Football: Klosterman to Schleussner with a buck 40 and change on the clock in the 2001 NC game against Grand Valley. Then Perk wide around left tackle at the 1 yd line to seal the victory. Grand Valley fans in the stands went from sheer joy to utter dismay in less than 2 minutes.
Hockey: UND-BU 1997 NC game, when Matt Henderson intercepted a point-to-point pass by BU's d and skated the length of the ice to bury the puck shorthanded. Runner up: Travis Roche scoring on a slapshot from the left circle with 9 seconds left in the third period of the 2001 Final Five championship game, after the Sioux started the third period down 3 goals. Nothing like being in St. Paul on St. Patty's Day!
Basketball: UND Guard Mary Perrizo drilled the game-winning three pointer against her former team, North Dakota State, as time expired to give UND a 71-68 win (11/22/02). The game was on statewide TV. I can still see Mary getting mobbed by her teammates at the top of the key on the east basket end of Hyslop. Great times. Great memories. Couldn't have happened to better opponent.
Volleyball: UND wins 3-1 against NDSU before 2,400 raucus fans at the Betty, ending a 0-forever winless drought against the dreaded herd.

Can someone tell me the last time a media personality in GF (Sweeney, Nelson, Miller, Schlossman, et al) have said a bad word or questioned anything a UND team or caoch has done? Your hockey coach won't do an interview after a loss and nobody says a thing about it. I can guarantee you Bohl or Phillips would be taken to the woodshed if they did that.
Tom Miller regularly writes personal columns that are heavily critical of UND, UND fans, UND's AD, UND's admin., UND coaches, UND scheduling, etc. I could give you dates but I can't give you links because you'd have to scrape together $3 a pop to get behind the archive pay wall to read them. Nelson, Sweeney = almost never critical. Schloss is a mixed bag.
So, alas, both town's have their share of homer reporters. Who woulda thunk it? Not necessarily earth shattering breaking news is it?

So Georgetown University as a whole should be labeled DI-AA, including there BB program because they play DI FCS football? Western Michigan University as a whole should be labeled as DI-A because they play DI FBS football? What should Witchita State (withou football) be labeled?
You are clearly so jaded with your head up you butt that it defies any human logic. How can one possibly stand behind such illogical arguements with a straight face. You are simply jaded beyond belief.
Who the hell are you talking to? Your post followed a fellow Bison troller's. Were you replying to him/her?

Thought you would be too busy threatening Time Magazine reporters or politicians to blog on a Sioux fan board?
Yeah, someone call Lakes' parole officer before he hurts someone. The dude's not stable.

Simply changing the name from IAA to FCS hasn't changed the product one iota. There are currently many respected commentators that refer to FCS as IAA. Big deal. Referring to it as such for them is a creature of habit. Doesn't prove a level of intelligence or education whatsoever.
And as for Jack Michaels, no one has ever disputed the quality of the product that he delivers. Its the pandering he has to do in his full-time gig that is at issue.
Now to get back on topic of the thread title, NDSU will face more competition this week and next in PRACTICE than they will in the game. Practice. Not the game. Practice.
Couldn't resist.

We can do this all day. I didn't ask him to defend the hyperbolic scenarios and switch the argument over to that which would have made it a strawman. If I would have made the argument about those hyperbolic statements it would have at that point become a strawman.
Agree to disagree then.

Again I come back to: Who is claiming that if NDSU wins on January 7th that they will be the best college football team in the country?
I think the problem is that you are arguing with multiple people about different things. You may have never said it, but it has been alluded to that if NDSU winning a FCS national championship is not legit than UND's hockey national championships are not legit because of all the predominately D II and D III schools that compete in hockey at the "highest level." I say both arguments are hog wash. They are both impressive and legit championships. But only one can say they are better than all others in all of college. Just a fact. No dig on anyone.

A straw man is a component of an argument and is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position, twisting his words or by means of [false] assumptions.
I didn't misrepresent his position or twist his words to mean something other than they were. I simply pointed out that his argument was "like" saying all of those other things.
I know what a strawman is, and you totally misrepresented the arguers position with your hyperbolic scenarios. You know it. I know it. He/she knows it.

Do you have a problem with Dickinson Trinity or Kindred or Lisbon claiming a state football championship?
No, but it would be problematic to say my beloved Titans play in the top tier of all NDHSAA football. That's all. Facts is facts. Sioux play D1 hockey at the very top of collegiate hockey. UND and NDSU do not in football. Nothing wrong with it. Just the way it is. Like it or lump it.
-
Actually, I directly addressed his argument with a simile and some hyperbole to drive my point home, so in no way is that a strawman argument.
Yes it is.

I don't know about the readers, but the contributors and most of the posters prove the latter to be true every day.
