I think may all be a case of some people expecting this team to win every game they play. Sure, there are some games that they SHOULD win, such as those against Tech, Mankato, Bemidji, and Harvard, but it doesn't always work that they. If you look at the standings, they fall into 5th right now. But look at games played: 12. This compared to 14 games for 8 of the other 9 teams. Now, say they can win those other 2. That would put them at 16 points and 4th place. Only two points back of 3rd and 3 points back of 2nd. My point being that this team isn't as far back as some of you seem to think. Or at least the way you are talking. Winning these next two in Anchorage is almost necessary, and at least a split in Minneapolis the following weekend. Unless Wisconsin completely collapses, which they've been known to do, I think 1st place might be out of reach, but nothing else is. Second place is fully reachable. If anybody has even thought about giving up on this season so far, which I know people have, they should get their head examined and actually start paying attention to where the league sits right now. The fact remains that we need full effort from everybody on the team for the entire second half of the season. (Sorry for slightly rambling and drifting from one topic to the next, and back, a couple times. Just something I had to say.)

First Kaip, then Stafford, now Prpich. Is Watkins next to go to the sin bin?

Does anybody know if there's any way I can get audio of the Moorhead/Holy Angles game tonight? I figure it'll be tough with Men's BB and men's hockey playing. Plus the gophers are playing, so that probably ties up WCCO. Radio (in Grand Forks) or webcast....anybody know? EDIT: Sorry, didn't realize this was just ND high school hockey.....but still...if anybody wants to help out, feel free.

MSU-Moorhead did that a few years ago (probably 8-9 years by now). They built a couple new buildings, and needed more parking so they bought some houses, moved them somewhere else in town, and put down parking lots where the houses were. Ever since I've been in school here I've realized this is something that the university should be doing. Whether or parking, or more dorms, I think it's a good idea.

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.
