andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!!

*Smile* You guys should have moved up.... But I am hoping for a good game.

I sure hope someone calls them up.

Wow! That would be great to play those guys!

I wonder if it would be possible to play the first couple of home games at memorial (when the weather is nice) and then the later ones at the Alerus? Just an idea...

Sell outs of every game would be pretty great!

Yes! For sure!

I thought Josh Murray looked good, too.

I will be there! GO FIGHTING SIOUX!!!! 29-14 win for UND!!

Well, I think Minot should be stronger this year. They only graduated 5 kids. Goaltending should be solid again, and scoring should improve. Defense may be a a bit of a question right now though.

I would like to see every away football and hockey game on TV.

Looks like a good game to me. I am looking forward to it! Go Sioux!

It is nice to have a good transfer. It will be an interesting year, considering everything that has changed.

Jim, how much political discussion is allowed on SiouxSports.com? Do we have to stick to topics that are directly pertinent to UND? Or can we discuss general political issues? I am asking becuase it is an election year, and it may be good to allow some discussion of politics. Especially those issues that are in ND or are ND related. Of course, this wouldn't work if people resort to personal attacks and the like. But those types ruin more then just political discussions. I won't blame you if you don't want to go down the political road though.

In response to an above comment, soccer is hugely popular world wide.

Happy Independence Day everyone! The Star-Spangled Banner O! say can you see by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming. Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming. And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, In full glory reflected now shines in the stream: 'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! And where is that band who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion, A home and a country should leave us no more! Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave: And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! O! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand Between their loved home and the war's desolation! Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto: 'In God is our trust.' And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! God Bless!

LINK Yep, time for Conrad to go.

The Constitution is not antiquated. It was specifically written to guarantee we wouldn't lose certain rights. Our founding Fathers were very wise. I am personally happy to live in a home with multiple guns in it. I believe I am safer for it. Remember when they were chasing that guy around the Drake area? I was sure glad we had guns in our house, and I am sure everyone in that area was glad as well. I like knowing I can defend myself.

We may lose our title as the "Goon Squad"!

That is some of the funniest stuff I have read in a while! I haven't laughed that hard for I don't know how long. Thanks guys!

Should be a solid guy, it looks like.

I have a plan. Lets turn all the schools in this state into private institutions. That would get rid of some political nonsense. Plus, then each university would only answer to themselves, not to some other entity.

See, we agree on stuff. I think we have all made our points. Basically, we all have different ideas on what should happen. It is good to have a place for discussion like this forum. Thanks Jim. Also, thanks for keeping stuff civil, Sioux-cia. But hey, I am still right!

Heck, it would still be in the Red River valley!

1. That is a dumb law. A limit on how many dogs I can have on my property??? Thanks for informing me on that one. I don't live in Grand Forks, but boy, that is a crazy law. I would hope you agree. 2. When I ride motorcycle, I always where a helmet. But like I said before, I don't believe society should have to pay for some idiots decisions. 3. I am not naive. I am trying to move the country in the direction I believe is best for it. 4. I think we can all agree peer pressure is generally a bad thing. But the solution to that is to change the attitudes of young people.

No need to try again. There is no limits on the consumption of alcohol. What there is a limit on is what you can do when impaired. You can lose your license to drive with out ever having a drink if you are a hazard on the road. Your argument isn't valid. Drinking isn't limited, driving reckless (impaired) is limited. Same as if you drive reckless by while lighting a fag or talking on the mobile phone or eating a cheeseburger. You will get cited for reckless driving for a whole slew of things.
