  1. 1-10 how good is your source. 1-crappy 10-No way they can be wrong

    10 Smaby and Zajac will be playing against each other in the AHL tommorrow or the next day, the source talked to Zajac today.

  2. See my edited post. I don't disagree that there are a lot of Native American programs on the University of North Dakota. Hardly a 'hostile and abusive' atmosphere. But you are not paying for GK's education anymore than you are paying tuition for students who get Pell grants, scholarships, etc. For example, my step-dad worked for US Steel and they used to offer lots of grants and scholarships to employees and their families, our church did as well.

    I don't disagree with you on this either, but there are advantages and programs in place for native americans, my point is if they don't like the name and or logo than don't come to school here and take advantage of the what has been put in place for them. A reason that they do come to school here is because of what is offered to them which is great, but then don't turn around and say that the school or students are hostile and abusive.

  3. I have spoken with people from the buisness offices at UND, and there are programs set up for the native amicans, one for instance is the rain program. They also have access to there own computer labs and tutors in certain programs

  4. Like it or not, it's better for the league as a whole to not have one conference dominating the tournament.

    Your right, the best teams shouldn't play for the championship, they should have to beat out each other , are you kidding. I hope so

  5. Gk, I would not have a problem with UND Fighting Sioux changing the name and logo, on one condition: Get rid of all the indian studies programs they offer, and you can pay for your own degree rather than me paying for you. For all that the university does for native americans rather than being gratefull and take advantage of what they offer, you sit on these sites and whine!

  6. The problem here GK is not the nickname or the logo, the problem is people like you that have nothing better to do with there time but whine and bring attention to them selves. You knew what the nickname was when you came to the school and you still came, you know now that you are offended by it, the school year is almost over so leave

  7. That's a good question. I, and this is the truth, didn't know this problem even existed until I step foot on campus. Do you think UND promotes this FS crap in ANY Native publications? No.

    And do you think that 8 hours southwest of here anyone gives a rip about Hockey? No, again. If I could do it again, I wouldn't be here. I say this because I wanted the entire College experience. I wanted to root for my team, I wanted to attend games and tailgate, but do you think that'll happen here? Not on your life.

    The level of education I have received on campus has been excellent. I have met many wonderful people. And like the pins I made last year state:

    "UND

    a great school, plagued by a racist name"

    Its only a matter of time before we bring this to an end, though. I can guarantee that it will get worse before it gets better, but change is always difficult. But do you think that UND will be "less" of a team when the name changes? I don't

  8. I have read alot of what has been said during this whole debate and never responded to any of it. But I must say if the native americans are so offended by the name and logo than why would they come to the school? Just a question.

  9. The whole thing comes down to did he try to shoot the puck over the glass or just against the boards, I coached when phil was in bantams, and know him on a personal level, he is the utmost competitor and a stand up guy, my guess is he was firing the puck at the boards and it got away from him, for you in here to give the guy a bad name for something like this get a life, move on to the next thing you can whine about!
