It is the way kvly will spin it. The bison spring game is scheduled to be shown on kvly at 1:30 pm on Saturday. Wings/bruins was supposed to be on at 2pm. Why kvly can't put this meaningless spring game on another channel is beyond me.

Ugh this one does sting. Outplay the goofs prett much the entire game and brillInt goaltending on both ends. Gophs score and somehow und has the energy to come right back and gaarder sticks one in 32 seconds later? But that's the only one they can get by:/ Game reminded me of a clean version of our old wcha games. Smart and defensive hockey both ways and teams looked very evenly matched. Just goes to show that in the one and done's anything can happen and this one could have gone either way. With that said lets go union!

And now I understand there are folks claiming that yesterday's car theft/kidnapping news reports as racist because the accused individual was identified as being an unknown Native American man on the news last night. It appears that some are really reaching to make some noise during timeout week. This is really too bad.

I think you misunderstood what I meant to say? I don't think any sensitivity course is necessary but it sounds like it's being forced upon these girls. A term that was used in another thread is a racist term though.

That is how this supposed sensitivity training should go. I'd bet the farm that there will be an agenda pushed though.

Hakstol said during press conference the rivalry is a "healthy one"!!!

I'd have to disagree. Misguided fans that have used racial slurs definitely did not help the cause of keeping the Sioux name.

With all that said, I do think Kelley's words were a little too pc and I would agree that sign was directed at the NCAA and not native Americans or time out week. I don't think the sorority deserves sensitivity training or should be punished. At the same time the name is gone. Get over it. We are still cheering for the same team!

I do know the history of the fighting Sioux nickname. Before it was retired I was a strong supporter of it and I still appreciate that gear is still available. Don't get me wrong I still wear my Sioux sweater to every game I attend, when I travel, in the evenings, and weekends as well. I've done a lot of work on the area reservations the past few years though and have met a lot of people. Und's old nickname is not one of their concerns but is a Native American who was against the nickname and logo in the wrong for being against it? NO. That is that person's opinion. Is a supporter of the name wrong for wanting the school to keep it? NO that is that person's opinion as well. Most native Americans have much more bigger concerns and could care less what und uses or has use but that doesn't matter the name is gone and it wasn't because of a few Indians who were against it. It's gone because of the lack of a relationship built by und with the 2 Sioux reservations in this state. Like it or not that is the case. And when you drop the word Indian giver and say the Indians deserve the name for taking away the Sioux nickname....well sorry but that is a racist and uneducated comment.

Ok guys lets keep this civil and non racist....which everyone has done to this point. No need to come up with name calling. Would you say that to a Native American face to face? Remember the name and logo are now history and this wasn't the fault of any Native American. The reason it's gone is because the school failed to gain a solid agreement with both tribes. One thing I'd be curious of....how many Sioux fans on here would be seen decked out in Sioux gear on one of nd's reservations, excluding the casino? Rez cafe, gas station, grocery store, clinic, hospital, housing development?

Who exactly was offended by this banner? Where are those that are offended? Or is it insensitive to ask this question? Personally I'm offended by all this over-sensitivity.

Egf can claim him as far as I'm concerned;) grand forks has been a better place since he left!

The final 5 was always fun and this is game is probably my #1 final 5 game of all time:)

I'm guessing it was not a violation because he did not sell it. Who in their right mind would pay that money for a fcs championship ring anyway? Remember though ndsu has such a great track record with roi for the cost of schooling. If Rodgers is under scholarship and as a future ndsu grad he should land a better than average job, why does he need to attempt to sell his rings?

You can't make this s*** up! You could sense this was a violation from 70 miles away. He's forced to pull the auction off eBay. Who at ndsu reads this board? Because I doubt they found his auction posting on their own. But gene Taylor determines he didn't break any compliance rules so "get off this kid's back!". And he was one of the 13 current players from this season's team involved with petition fraud last year. Guy sounds like a real winner. Too bad there's no more rings for him to win;) hope he can clean up his act as an adult because moo u obviously hasn't helped him do so.

Correct. Sorry should have quoted her. And nice work with your blog!

Sorry bud but the loudest game ever in the Ralph didn't include your team or holy cross. Hate to burst your bubble. Unfortunately it didn't involve und either. It was Canada vs Russia during the world juniors.

Well I know rodger's was a senior on the team. But if his scholarship is still paying for his current schooling?

Is it even legal for a NCAA student athlete to sell a NCAA ring? Obviously if it sells it will be a ndsu booster who buys it.

Now that's some funny stuff yet very sad for him. Good luck with your money making rodgers_7!

Personally I'd like to see them go back to uplinking home games to satellite. The Sioux shop in the past has sold Fta satellite systems for fans outside of the viewing area to watch und sports and midco left this delivery system in the dust this past winter season in hopes of landing a deal with one dish or direct. Well this did not happen and will likely never happen. The quality of even the standard definition Fta feeds supercedes the web stream quality und put out through neulion this season. I know it's been said that there were only a few watching with Fta systems but how many people will renew with next season's web feeds with the problems they ran into this season? Ask any fans that watched home games at senser's Bloomington this season compared to seasons of the past.

Considering how und played in Canada.....and how they started their season.......and the nchc's out of conference record.....I think und has overachieved this year already. Will be happy to see them continue with this overachieving against the goofs!

With the matchup next Thursday pretty sure these will all be spoken for.

Just measured 13" of snow at my place sw of grand forks. And the snow appears to continue for at least a few more hours. Biggest snowfall of the winter here.
