  1. That is what my guess is, I am watching that in hopes that I get to see highlights or something of our game.

    Thanks (and to anyone else who replies). If that is the case, it is good expossure for the network.

  2. I also think your going to have trouble unless the naming issue is settled. I don't know how it will come out, but the WCHA even talked about the appropriateness of your membership, but I think grandfathered it. Since they are here they are in.

    When it comes to conference membership, having competitve sports teams should be the top priority. Unless some pressidents have a big problem with nicknames (like SCSU's) I do not think that will have much of an impact.

    One last thing, Your going to be asking for a lot of help and favors. A lot of college presidents are going to resent your position, especially if you are trying to join a conference where other schools have changed, or are in other ways associated with schools that did.

    UND is doing what is best for the nickname. If other schools have changed their's, perhaps they should not have been so quick to bow down to the NCAA.

    There is also going to be resentment for wasting NCAA resources.

    Wasting NCAA resources! What! It was the NCAA who used their own resources to begin this thing. It was also the NCAA who forced schools that had what were deemed to be "hostle and abussive" nicknames and/or logos to waste their school resources on doing a study on them.

    Whatever the outcome, the failure has been an inability to strike an accord with The Tribes.

    A school should not have to have tribal consent. UMass does not have to have consent from the group of people* they are named for. Heck, the Minutemen do not even exist anymore so who could they get consent from?

    *Whether a team is named for an Indian Tribe (Fighting Sioux), a nationality (Fighting Irish), some settlers (Sooners), or a historical army (Minutemen) they are all named for a group of people. Why are Indians different then the other groups of people?

  3. There is a nice write up in the Fedgazette, the magazine for the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis.

    Almost a decade after the Flood of 1997, the Grand Forks metro area has made quite a comeback.
    How far should government power extend into private markets in the wake of a disaster?
  4. Well that just royally sucks :D. The disadvantage of living in Minot. And I even remember that I use to able to watch the Wisconsin away series through FSSN via FSN North Feed. Looks like it's the radio for me.

    Yea, that stinks. ;) Well at least we have radio, they do a good job.

  5. Scores from today.
