Look at what happened to Ohio State, basically nothing. One year of no bowl games. Big deal they will be back next year. To me that is a hell of a lot more serious then a nickname. But the NCAA wants to show they have some power so they are trying to push around a small school in North Dakota. That is what this is all about, they want more power. If it was actually about nicknames, then FSU and Utah would be in the same boat as UND. It is power and money, and some schools have more power.

Damn why you hate Tebow so much? Even the experts are saying that over the past 6 or 7 weeks he has gotten better as a passer and his motion is getting better. If you dislike his relegious views that is one thing but I am beginning to think you are the has been Merill Hodge. I remember another quarterback that they said could not throw the ball and would not have a great career in the NFL and all he was is a running QB. Michael Vick proved those people wrong. Tebow is still technically a first year player. He beat the Vikings with their new star. What does he have to do to get some respect.

are these tickets still available

As a Broncos fan I have to say that I Love how Tebow is playing. I think he is hard and fun to watch all at the same time. I keep telling people at least I am not a Vikings fan. If Tebow works with Elway in the off-season and learns to be a better passer, not great but better, I think he can be a very good QB. But I love the way he plays.

Been in a few toasty Beavers before. But that might be something different then you are talking about.

Which time for Wehrs? I know the one time he got hit, I thin it was last year was a great end of the period hit. Time still on the clock, it was a good clean hit. I have watched it several time this week to get ready for this weekend. Go Sioux

He also has a Hobey Baker winner and a finalist in Frattin(He should have won it)that is huge to me, the best players in college hockey.

UND did not steal the interlocking from Notre Dame. UND has it trademarked and Notre Dame uses it with permission from UND and pays some royalties as I have heard it. But UND owns it.

Yes they will be on Direct TV. They are listed on Channel 617.

The game is on Fox College Sports. It is in my Direct TV guide on Ch. 617. Unfortunately it says Regina vs. North Carolina. It has the sport right. But c'mon. North Carolina!!!!

Is this a way to get Gino as the first commish for the NCHC?

Agree 100%!!!!

OK I am going to ask a dumb question is the league or team that Spirko once played on?

Why get over the 20 idiots it adds to the stupidity of going to a game there.

Why I do prefer hockey all together over any sport, professional sports included. I sat at home thursday and watched the football game on TV, so I guess there goes your only hockey statement. Are you a football only person? I was making an observation, you can disagree, but keep the name calling to yourself.

that makes st. clown fans what? I realize I am biased but I have also witnessed a lot of fan bases in The Ralph and I have been to other arenas where I have had stuff thrown at me and my wife I have had people yell at my 5 year old son and call him names for being a Sioux fan. I have also been to the Ralph and been around other teams fans and had a great time with them. So my point is you do not know Shi%$

Yes I did know that and as I said it was just my opinion and I know I was going to get ripped. So even after they join big sky do you believe that attendance will go up? Even if the football team is getting pounded and losing almost every game(which does typically happen when you move up). And my point was that I did read posts on SS.com where people could not get rid of the nickname fast enough to get into that conference. I just do not see much changing? I hope I am, but Thanks for all the kind words towards me.

No I know that they are not in the Big Sky yet, I am just very surprised that the attendance is no poor for a home opener. What I meant by "Sold-Out" is that, I heard a lot of people saying just get rid of the name to make sure UND gets into the Big Sky conference, but when you can't sell out your home opener what is the point. Now I watched the game and cheered for the Sioux to win last night but I guess I was just a little shocked by the lack of attendance. Oh and I am quit versed in subject of the nickname issue.

UND's fan base is bad, are you kidding me. The Sioux faithful are the best fans in college hockey!!! THere is no denying it. They travel the best and they treat fans the best in their home arena. I have been to St. Cloud for games and never surprised by the fans, from the jack wagons outside telling me I am a racist to the a-holes inside that are just plain rude. If you want to find bad fans I suggest you look at UMTC or Michigan(by far the worst fans).

So I heard all this complaining during the nickname debate about getting into a new conference and how great it would be mainly for a sport that can't sell out a home opener and is 4,000 seats empty for that opener. Someone please tell me again why it was a good idea to sell-out for that Big Sky conference? I know people say it is not just about hockey but in this case, hockey drives the money. I just think it was the wrong attitude to take. I also now I will get ripped for this but oh well.

What does the Alerus hold for football?

Not sure if this has been covered yet, but has the team chosen their captains yet? If not any thoughts as to who they will be? I am thinking Blood with the C and Mario with A and maybe Kristo with the other A Just my opinion

What a bunch of Losers!!! Do they have nothing better to do. WOW, guess they are just waiting to take their wives out of the barn for a feeding!

During the transition I do not think that current students should even have a vote in the new nickname. It should b e a group of alumni, current students will come up with some that is very PC and wimpy!!!1

I went to a High School in Denver that was the Norsemen, as a Norwegian I do not like that name is abusive to my people. Nevermind I would be honored!!!
