so what was the deal? As I recall...Morris had lost like 30+ straight in the Northern Sun - then dropped to DIII...thats the last I heard of them...was this a big losing streak snapping game? (I'm asking this seriously because that hasn't been mentioned in the news stories - why were they tearing down the goalposts?
)

Overtime win on homecoming, I suppose.

KFGO should hold you until you pick up KXMR 710 AM out of Bismarck. Unless the weather is bad, AM can trasmit very far.
-
In that case, get Dish Network, and add a dish/receiver from Pete (satellite thread) for picking up FSSN.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
That means having two dishes, right?
One for DirecTV or Dish, and the other for FSSN.
Is that correct?

Does anyone know what the weather is going to be like this weekend at gametime?
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
weather.com is showing partly cloudy, high of 52 with 20% chance of precip. Should be nice.

"We are the only race of people to be used as mascots," Taken Alive said. He said some have used the example of the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame, but there is no comparison. "The moment one of those little leprechauns walks into the room, we'll have to listen to him," Taken Alive said.
Apparently all Irish are "leprechauns." Now if that isn't blatent stereotyping, then I don't know what is.

The players/coaches/band come through at about 11 from the south end.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
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.

yah, we have a group of 8 that do NCAA fantasy hockey, but it is all the hard way, spreadsheets and manual entry of data. I'd LOVE to have it be on-line and easier, but I have not found anyting so far that does this.

Any way you could share some details of how you play? Scoring methods? Head to head each week or season point totals?
-
Lines about how we couldn't call ourselves the Dakotans, and how the Office for Civil Rights declared there's no hostility stand a chance of prodding the NCAA to come up with a more clear position.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Is this a North Dakota Office of Civil Rights or a federal Office?
-
What about our scottish friends and the "Edinboro University Fighting Scots"?
-
Speaking of points, did you hear about the one NCAA came out with, after extensive research? Enough said.
It took hundreds of years for slavery to end in this country, but at the time it was "okay" to own slaves. It was the mindset of that time. This mindset of thinking of Indians as mascots will end, too. Its not the biggest battle, but its one that needs to be ended.
Do you really think that we will go "backwards" in time and it will get any better for the 18 NCAA schools that have mascots? No.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
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.

your Uncle was in the Civil Rights movement? Wow. He must have been a whiner too as he was whining to the majority about how he percieved he was being treated. If he was so busy taking care of *his* own, why was it important to march with the NAACP? you are talking doublespeak. Why didnt he just "go back to where he came from" and work on the problems of his own people.
Yep, I hope you are offended. I hope you take it personally. Maybe you will finally understand my point.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
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.

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.
-
I can put the dish up, but I can't run the wires in. TimeWarner has a hole drilled and won't allow any other cables. I also can't drill any other holes. I'm sure I can fight it, but is it really worth the hassle?
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
If it's near your A/C Unit, try to slip the wire through that.
Just a thought.
-
My guess would be first offical practice on Oct 3. Captians practices for a few weeks before that.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I'm fairly certain the first official practice is the same day as the first exhibition. So...Oct 2nd.

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.

What, haven't you ever had a Whiskey-Coke float
Hockey at NDSU is a pipe-dream! They would have to divert $$$ from the beloved football team and as far as an arena, Fargo residents have spoken...this past Tuesday voting down the latest proposed arena.
Unless there is outside $$$ donated, it's not gonna happen.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I think more than anything these votes, and past USHL teams, have shown that Fargo residents simple wouldn't support a hockey team of any level. Given, a D1 hockey team would be more exciting to watch than USHL.

That's awesome.
Are ANY of these games going to be played on ESPN?

What I miss is the Gear Daddies "I want to drive the Zamboni" song when the Zamboni's are on the ice.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Alright, it might be a decent song, but it gets sooooo old. Having heard it 8 times at the Final Five (twice at each of 4 games, I didn't go to the playin), I'm really sick of it. Maybe once per weekend, but that's the most they should play it.

For some reason I really thought he was at Bemidji. Guess not.
Welcome Michael Forney
in Men's Hockey
Posted
So we're going to have Forney and Chorney playing on the same team?
....this might get confusing.
