I'll trade you that for some forwards who aren't afraid to live up to their potential.

Wowee!!! A whole class. You know the class is worthless if the FSU football team takes all of the slots.

I agree. We could get a horse and rider, do "the Chop", and all of that ... of course, I think the horse would have difficulty on the ice at REA, and those road apples would need to be cleaned up before the puck dropped.

Damn those "hang around the fort" Indians!!!!

And Dartmouth has how many programs aimed at Native Americans? /cue theme from "Jeopardy" What is "One", Alex? [emphasis added] That's about 17/year. Although they claim to have 157 in "the program" currently ... whatever that means. Linky

NC$$ Approved.

/puts down 9th shot of Cuervo ... looks at HockeyMom I thought you looked familiar, you were in that one class with me ...

Game on, biatches!!!

Apparently, you failed to read this thread from page 1, otherwise I would have to ask "Are you stupid, or just retarded?".

Let's see ... We would hit Whitey's, in its original spot, esepcially the side and back bars; the Antique; Stooges (loved those Long Island Tea fishbowls); the Down Under for "Bucks" on Friday; Sensations for 2 for 1 mixed drinks; and Frenchy's for mugs of whatever and all of the hockey memorabilia (Also a great place for after hours drinking if you knew the employees). I also enjoyed Griggs Landing too. Made you think you weren't even in GF. Got 86'd from the Bronze Boot and Faces.

I agree. I'm so disappointed in this team, I've ordered a Minnesota home sweater, and suggested to Myles Brand that UND hockey try to play as a club team for a year or three ...

Great idea, and much appreciated Jim, especially for those of us who have no real access to Sioux, or any college, hockey and who have people in their lives whose idea of a good time Friday/Saturday night is not listening to a hockey game on the computer.

You forgot: Hakstol shouldn't have gotten the job in the first place. It was Sandelin's. And when in the hell is Blais coming back?!?! UAA really doesn't really belong in the WCHA, since making the trip out there throws off everybody's sleep cycle, including mine. The NHL scouts/teams obviously screwed up when they thought Toews, Oshie and Lee were prime draft picks. These guys couldn't play floor hockey without wasting space. If Ralph hadn't donated the money for the new arena, we wouldn't be in this mess. It's distracting and should be leveled for a new WalMart.

And if they can figure out how to "connect" the UND name/logo to poverty, crime, alcoholism, unemployment, etc. on the reservations, you can be sure they'll trot that line of "logic" out too. Maybe Dr. Stephanie can make that her next "research" project.

I would agree.

I don't see Blais spending much more time on the sidelines, or as a head coach in the NHL in the near term. I think he could end up with some organization like USA Hockey, or one of the junior leagues, possibly as a coach or GM.

Regardless of any tribal governmental issues, any settlement talks will probably be based on what happens in discovery. If I were representing the State, I would be salivating over reviewing, and presenting, NC$$ emails, voice mails, phone logs, internal documents, correspondence, etc. related to this policy, and how it was implemented, to demonstrate how far Brand & Co. have deviated from their charter, and their agreement with UND and possibly other schools. As well, I think Myles and Franklin would not make very good deponents, or witnesses under cross. I don't think the NC$$ really wants all of its dirty laundry shown to its member schools, Congress and maybe even the IRS. If there is a settlement, I think tribal "consent" for UND to use its name/logo should not be on the table at all, and not part of any agreeement.

Having had some time to review both parties' documents over the weekend, it seems to me UND is presenting a very structured legalistic attack, and the NC$$ is trying to blunt it with a bunch of idealistic fluff. I was surprised Judge Jahnke actually issued the injunction, but it doesn't seem to bode well for the NC$$ unless they are able to fire back against the points UND is pressing. The cynic in me suggests that if the NC$$ loses this battle, they'll still keep trotting out their "agenda" on a larger scale and write their battle with UND off as casually as they granted exemptions to FSU, etc. Is there a copy of the Order available yet?

Leave it to the Strib to interview those "hang around the fort" Indians ... Since Kersten tends to present a very conservative view in her columns, I'm sure the editorial pages will be the site of letters/columns from "the enlightened" set ... and maybe even another screed from Whinin' Nick Coleman himself.

Meh. I recommend at least one bottle of tequila. You'll either sweat the cold right out your system, or be so hungover you'll forget you have a cold.

Pretentious, aren't you?

GET OFF THE DAMN LAWN!!!

I wonder who paid to have them bussed in from MSP and St. Cloud.
