A gold medal at the 2004 World Junior's doesn't count?

I would like to issue an apology to Lomackman for not being able to Neg Rep your other idiotic posts today. Please know that I would stockpile all of them for you if the Mods would allow it....

No brains... No headache. You truly are a Flounder

Check out the comments following the article. One from "Ring of Fire" is great.... He really lets Chambers have it for making Martin come off sounding like a whiny brat. This is just Mike Chambers trying to stir the pot, and using the Bina incident was especially tasteless, even for him...

I'm using my Negative Rep on you early today. But please don't fret, as I will log back in tomorrow, pick out another one of your verbal banquets, and Negative Rep that as well....

Wow, That is impressive! I actually stood up in my living room and applauded. Thank you Mr. Burggraf for putting into words what so many of us think and feel. Go Sioux!

I'm almost getting tired of having to sign in to my account just to give you a negative rep for all of your boring and tiresome posts ......Almost. Consider it done yet again...

Just because the vote didn't go your way today, you resort to belittling others on the board.... impressive! Maybe you would feel better if you retired your moniker and came up with a new one....Perhaps one without the word "Sioux" in it....

It seems that two of the three proposed bills acknowledge the importance and significance of the 1969 Pipe Ceremony at Standing Rock that granted permission to use the nickname. For whatever reason, the NC$$ would never acknowledge that, probably because it would hurt their stance and ultimate objective of banning the Fighting Sioux nickname. (especially after the overwhelming vote at Spirit Lake in favor of the nickname) Archie Fool Bear and others have argued all along that the Pipe Ceremony should be recognized, and rightfully so. The state legislature should officially recognize it too. That would mean that UND had actually met the NC$$ requirement the day that Spirit Lake certified it's vote....which was years before the November 2010 deadline agreed to in the settlement. Then, even if Al Carlson's proposed bill is not the version that ultimately gets passed, Standing Rock's Tribal Council would at least be forced to have a vote of the people before rescinding permission to use the nickname. And I, for one, think the vote would be overwhelmingly in favor of retaining the nickname. Let it play out.... GO SIOUX!!

Had to love Tim Hennessy's comments after his pre-game interview with RMU coach Derek Schooley... Schooley told him that he called coach Serratore at Bemidji for advice before the trip to North Dakota..I was laughing pretty hard (as was Tim H.), but It went something like this.... Schooley: Can you tell me what to expect this weekend at North Dakota? Serratore: Expect to get your ass kicked.

Ziggy just announced that next year the Vikings franchise will relocate to The Phillipines.... and will become The Manilla Folders...

So.... They are discriminating against people that decide to wear the color green? Hmmm... I sure hope they wouldn't also think of denying a young hockey fan a cowbell because he or she happened to have clothing with Native American imagery..... Any lawyers out there? It's kind of ironic that TD Ameritrade's corporate logo is green..... GO SIOUX!!

I have to totally disagree with you on the last Bulldog penalty. When the Duluth player entered the zone offsides, the blew before he even passed it all the way across the ice to the other player. Then that player hesitated for a moment and then shot it at Dell. He obviously heard the whistle. (I did, and I'm almost deaf) And If he didn't hear the whistle blow, why didn't he skate the puck in another 10 or 15 feet before he shot it, since there was no defensive pressure on him? - In fact, I had enough time to make myself another drink between the time the puck entered the zone and the time the Duluth player shot it at Dell. Now if you really want to bitch about a penalty....what about the phantom call on Gregoire that gave Duluth the powerplay goal in the last 5 minutes that they scored on? All he did was finish his check on a player that had the puck at his feet. And after the way we lost at Duluth last year, that bogus call could have turned out to be catastrophic. And just to be completely fair... The first penalty of the game on Duluth was total B.S. But it did not end in a goal and had no affect on the outcome of the game. Go Sioux....Get the Sweep!!!

That was offsides. I was freaking out.... glad I wasn't the only one that noticed it. The replay showed it was offsides too, so it wasn't just the booze or my kelly green shades that made me see it that way. Thankfully it didn't change the outcome of the game. ... Go Sioux, get the sweep tomorrow....

Bisonette..... YOU are asking people to supply proof and evidence? If I had a dime for every time you were asked to provide proof/evidence for the crap you spew on here and failed to do so, I could buy you a few patch kits for your Chapped Joe doll. Then perhaps you could start hitting that again, instead of endlessly pounding on your sticky keyboard in futility here.

Bi-son Boy.... So when you are driving along 35W in the carpool lane, is it Law Enforcement's fault (Police, Highway Patrol, Sheriff, or even video camera) that you are not stopped and ticketed for having "Joe", your life sized inflatable doll in the passenger seat instead of a real person? You are obviously trying to bend the rules, but if you're not caught, is it just due to a lack of oversight on their part?

Hey Bi-son Boy.... What about all of those dates that you kept yapping about as the deadline to get in the mighty Summit League that passed by? Speaking of dates..... how's your inflatable one?

Yet another verbal banquet by SIOUXPR....At least the 4 year old didn't interject race into his temper tantrum like you did with that brilliant comment about "the only freedom you've lost is your freedom to live under a White President".... And what's the gig with your Avatar and name? Shouldn't you be feeling shame for using the "Sioux" name and former logo? Pot....Kettle....?

Wow! Brilliant statement .... You've had a few gems before, but this one may take the title. Would you happen to be Keith Olbermann, By chance?

When the NDSU games are televised next season, will either the "Red Zone" or "End Zone" areas of the field be aptly renamed the "Reward Zone" to capitalize on their new corporate ties to Best Buy? The Bison may accumulate more points that way,and perhaps even win a couple games, as it sounds like they may not score many points on their own.

I'm sorry, but I think this thread should be locked until one of two things happen: 1. Standing Rock holds their referendum and votes to oppose supporting the Fighting Sioux nickname and logo. 2. Standing Rock's Tribal council does not allow for a vote on the Fighting Sioux nickname and logo. Until then, and only then, there is still hope to get this travesty reversed. Both Archie and Steve Foolbear think the fight has just begun, and we have to have the same mindset. Because WHEN Standing Rock votes to support the Fighting Sioux name, they will need all of our support to counter the SBoHE, etal (Kelley, Faison, etc.). If we just give up now and start picking out new names, it just makes it easier for the powers that be. I say Bull$hit! (insert Animal House video here) Can you imagine the pressure that will be on the members of the SBoHE, when both tribes have given their blessing to keep the name? And don't forget that Governor Hoeven must appoint 3 new boardmembers in a year he is running for another office (hint...email him!) They will have no choice but to listen to the people. The opportunity of a lifetime is right in front of us. We CAN turn the tables on the establishment! First, we need Standing Rock to do their part. Then, we MUST do our part. With the hundreds of thousands of true Fighting Sioux fans out there, we can organize a rally that would dwarf alot of the political rallies you see on television during election seasons. When this is all said and done, The University of North Dakota will be able to keep the Fighting Sioux name and logo, and all of us that fight for it now will be able to stand even a little taller knowing that we played a part in determining the history and legacy of the university! -- Imagine being able to tell your grandchildren about this when they decide to attend UND? WOW! If that won't make you feel proud when you see the Fighting Sioux logo live on, I don't know what would.... Let's live up to the advertisement.... North Dakota.......LEGENDARY!!!!! -- I know where all of you are on this thread... I just think it's premature---- (and bad JuJu)

I seem to remember a while back when someone asked what would happen if they retired the name early, only to have Standing Rock vote and give their approval. I think it was Grant Shaft (appropriate last name after what he did today) that said it would be possible to reinstate the nickname if it fell within the agreed timeline in the agreement with the NC$$. --I may be wrong on this though, not sure. Hopefully we will get to see what would happen. The SBoHE are a bunch of cowards, so it would probably take court action to force their hand on the issue if both tribes do give approval by the November deadline though.

I like your thinking on this. You may be on to something... I'm really interested to see if Standing Rock is still going to hear the petition referendum next Tuesday. They wanted to act after the SBoHE made their move. Well, they made it, so let's see how Standing Rock reacts. Hopefully they still go ahead and approve the nickname. At the very least, it would leave all the blame on the SBoHE. And who knows, it could still be a game changer. (I still refuse to give up) I would be all for a huge protest that would even dwarf the size of one of the largest Tea Party protests. With all of the networking tools at our disposal, we should be able to make this fly. What does everybody think of his idea? Why go quietly into the night? What's the worst thing that could happen.... a peaceful gathering with 50,000 friends and diehard Fighting Sioux Fans, all dressed in Fighting Sioux apparel? I'm sure that members of both Standing Rock and Spirit Lake would love to show solidarity with us, and I bet Ralph Engelstad Arena, Inc. would be all for it, and perhaps help out.... Hmm....lots of possibilities here

I see that you are the self-proclaimed "Summit League's biggest fan"... So if that is true, shouldn't you want the league to prosper and get the best teams/schools possible? And if so, wouldn't UND and USD help the cause? By all the empty seats disguised as fans at the almighty Summit League Basketball tournament, it looks like the league could use quite a few more of you "biggest fan" types in the seats. And I also have to wonder....What the Hell are you even doing on this board, anyway? The Bison trolls have really been coming out of the woodwork lately. I would think that you would have enough subject matter to cover on Bisonville, or whatever the Hell that board is called. (Never been there, have no reason to either) Just for starters, -You have Chapman's mansion to discuss. -You have the upcoming audits to discuss. -You have the Bison football team getting in the Rewards Zone at Best Buy more than the endzone at the dome to discuss. -You have the mighty Summit League, with all its prestige, to discuss. -You have last year's brief NCAA appearance for winning the aforementioned prestigious Summit BB tourney to discuss. -You have the flood video that MplsBison Boy seems to sport wood over, to discuss. -You have the Sioux/Bison baseball series, and the huge crowds, to discuss. - You could even discuss why you are the Summit League's Biggest fan, and why somehow MplsBison isn't a Bison fan or a Summit fan. I wonder if he knows that he's not a fan....And if he's not, why does he spend so damn much time over here talking about Whiskey Joe, the Bison, and the Summit. Maybe the both of you could go back over there and fight over who really is the biggest Summit League fan....That would surely be a verbal banquet of epic proportions....
