Right near the end of the MNF game, they showed a promo for Nightline tonight. They said they are doing a story on the nickname issue, and they focused the promo on The Fighting Sioux. I figured some of you may be interested.

Thank you all so much.

Thanks for the updates! Can somebody give me an updates on who scored the goals?

http://siouxsports.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=5158 There's a thread on this already.

So we're going to have Forney and Chorney playing on the same team? ....this might get confusing.

Overtime win on homecoming, I suppose.

http://fightingsioux.com/info/broadcast/ KFGO should hold you until you pick up KXMR 710 AM out of Bismarck. Unless the weather is bad, AM can trasmit very far.

That means having two dishes, right? One for DirecTV or Dish, and the other for FSSN. Is that correct?

weather.com is showing partly cloudy, high of 52 with 20% chance of precip. Should be nice.

Too....many.....pronouns......

Apparently all Irish are "leprechauns." Now if that isn't blatent stereotyping, then I don't know what is.

Then the band goes through again at about 12:30 or so.

It seems to touch all the points that are necessary, like somebody else said. My only complaint would be that the word "probably" is used in places where it shouldn't. When discussing discrimination due to race, he says "but also probably illegal." And when he mentioned there are 400 American Indian students, he says "probably proportionately more than any institution of higher education in the United States." These things should have been further researched. Get a lawyer to find out if it truly is illegal and find out if it is the highest proportion or maybe just "nearly" the highest, proportionately.

For those of you with systems: I'm going to be moving to Minneapolis around New Years and definately will be missing the chance to go to every home game. So I figure if I can get a satellite system then I'll be good. First off, how much does a good system cost? How much for installation? Also, which direction does it need to be pointed? When looking for apartment I would like to know where I need to be in order to have the dish pointed in the right direction. If it comes down to it I'll just end up at the bar every friday and saturday night.

Any way you could share some details of how you play? Scoring methods? Head to head each week or season point totals?

Is this a North Dakota Office of Civil Rights or a federal Office?

What about our scottish friends and the "Edinboro University Fighting Scots"?

I don't think anybody here would have any problems with the NCAA banning Native American mascots. Because those can be somewhat disrespectful if not done properly. The issue here is logo's and nicknames. Your arguments don't work anybody better than the NCAA's when you use "mascot," "nickname," and "logo" interchangably.

I haven't been a big part of this thread but I had to respond to this statement. There is a big difference between being treated as less-than-human by a government and having a school having it's nickname named after your people. Call it "whining" if you want, but I say everybody that marched in the Civil Rights movement had a right to "whine" because they were allowed facilities that were less than what the whites got. This situation, on the other hand, is simply a school with a nickname. That's it.

I got quite a chuckle out of the fact that Digger is our backup punter.

This isn't an argument that I really want to be a part of but PCM is right. Respect isn't given out for free, it has to be earned. Just because the NCAA is taking "that first step," doesn't mean any more respect will come. I'm not saying there isn't already some respect, but sometimes I get the feeling the tribes don't accept the respect they are given.

If it's near your A/C Unit, try to slip the wire through that. Just a thought.

I'm fairly certain the first official practice is the same day as the first exhibition. So...Oct 2nd.

http://fightingsioux.com/sports/football/b...asp?GAME_ID=890 Relive it yourself. Greatest game I've been to.

Every event at any arena will have people patting you down to make sure you're not bringing anything in. Are every one of those illegal? I'd much rather have myself patted down and know that I'm safer than keep my own privacy and fear somebody else is sneaking something dangerous into the arena.
