I would like to thank everyone who keeps their eyes open for these stories from around the country that pertain to this situation. I will name PCM, but there are others who have contributed as well. If this goes to court, I think the lawyers fighting for UND should read through the threads on this website. Not for all the insightful opinions we throw up, but for the large collection of and value of the literature, and the highlighting of specific and important points within the literature that point out what a ridiculous position the NCAA has taken. It's not the whole case, but it would seem to be valuable supporting information.

At the time of pending legislation, it might not be a bad thing to have the NCAA adding schools to the nasty list.

I second that, Jim. Thank you.

Sioux Hockey Blog on Genoway Looks like this answers some questions i.e. when is Genoway coming (seems like 2006) and is he going to play D or O (looks like primarily D but depending on need). Another nice comment about Berry. Seems like people can't say enough great things about the guy.

Something tells me that the younger Lammy was going to either Northern Michigan or Western Michigan. Something like that. Not Tech.

WHOA! Graham Kracker appears to be a minority within his own people. The Sioux people should not have to suffer any "consequences" because of Miles Brand and a few people who think like Graham Kracker. It might be worth changing the name one day, but only after UND wins this fight and can do it on their own terms. We all claim that the Native Americans have bigger problems to deal with than complaining about a nickname. Well, then we must understand if they chose to worry about those problems and not force the issue that the majority of them do indeed support UND. Take what support we are able to get from those willing to give it. Know that UND is on the right side of this debate. Fight the good fight, and let the chips fall where they may. But the average Native American is not obligated to have a dog in this hunt.

Now you're accusing her of not being an avid Fighting Sioux fan?

You should see my game analysis.

I have to agree with this statement!

I don't understand why we need to spell this out for you. 1. The University of North Dakota FIGHTING SIOUX 2. Everyone Else 3. The Gophers

This completely misses the point. UND cannot just "go away" in the nickname battle. The NCAA level serious accusations, ones they cannot prove. Why should UND be the ones to just go away and accept the imposed guilt? UND should only go kicking and screaming into that good night, because this issue is more about free speech and fighting against the easy but wrong way out of our problems.

Maybe we're taking this all wrong. Maybe #1 is actually saying we're getting colder in that "we're getting closer to the right CANADIAN goalie". #1 is sitting at his computer, smiling, while we all conjecture away. Still, it's fun to make a few guesses and see if we can't figure it out....

Well, the circumstancial/rumored evidence points toward your find. Name is Anthony, and he's listed at 6' 1" and from the Toronto area. That fits the evidence better than this candidate below: ...but doesn't seem as exciting. However, Anthony Grieco is still only 17. Won't turn 18 until this November. If Parise leaves, maybe this kid has shown that he's got the skills to get better as he gets older. He can apprentice under Lammy for a year or 2, and then take over when he's more physically and mentally mature.

Shaved head? In the world of hockey hair, this kid might have difficulty fitting in. He'll sure look goofy in the playoffs.

I can only hope to attain your level of Siouxfanship. My hat's off to you, YaneA. Now I'm even more glad to have met you at the Final Five.

Someone said a "goaltender from Toronto" earlier in one of these threads. They also said 6' 2". What about this kid? He's not that tall, but he's properly sized for a Sioux goalie. And he's from the Toronto area. Co-rookie of the year in the 10 team East division of the OPJHL. And tied for best goals against in that division.

I only vaguely seem to remember some talk about it happening for that game, so maybe I'm wrong. I wasn't there myself.

Hey, I LIKE the geometric logo jersey! (I have a green one) They do wear throwback jerseys each year (at least in recent years) but they have not been of the Blackhawk variety. As you can see you have a little different version than that worn through the 80's. I think this was a pretty special deal. Because the Blackhawk logo is often perceived to be controversial, I think UND stays away from using that jersey as a throwback. My guess would be that for the last game in the Old Ralph, it was worth the risk of using a logo that had been seen in that building for most of it's life.

It seemed that Porter had a role this year that involved checking line first and scoring second.

I'm a big "Fabian on the checking line" guy. Fabian can chip in a goal or two but we need a line with experience, physicality and moxie to hold down the opponent's big line. I trust Fabian in that role. Fabian and Kaip and Zajac might be able to do that very well. LaPoint is a defenseman. FYI

How many centers does this team have? I wonder if Watkins needs to center a 3rd or 4th line.

Seems the APR thing might have more affect on hockey being that players often finish their collegiate season and go play pro somewhere. Sometimes they get into the playoffs and their last quarter/semester is shot. Seems like other sports don't have that sort of intra-session conflict.
