  1. I didn't see the law going through the last session. If I had I would have written that I disagreed with the idea of voting by mail. In this case we did cover the Benson County controversy on Say Anything. I believe we covered it better than most of the newspapers. My opinion was that even though I disagreed with the vote by mail scheme I thought that everyone in the county must be treated the same whether or not they were Indians. The Democrats disagreed and even took it to court to give the Indians greater voting access than the rest of the county. That's just wrong.
  2. And if the Board of Higher Education defies the legislature and the public then they get everyone even more royally pissed off at them..... Not a good strategy. If the Board of Higher Education had tried to keep the name and lost they wouldn't be in this position. I say the heck with them.
  3. Just a clarification. Benson county went to voting by mail, something I disapprove of by the way. All residents of the county had the choice of voting by mail or voting in person at the county seat. Treating everyone equally is bad now.
  4. I wrote in a lawyer I know.
  5. So is Western Michigan still a big physical team that's going to check Denver into the ice?
  6. Do you get the idea he hasn't seen a college hockey game this year? " Let's see, what's the number one seed, that's who I pick."
  7. Yep, you can't get it around here. But you can get it on Puerto Rico Telephone.
  8. Isn't ESPN3.com only limited to certain internet suppliers?
  9. Makes sense if you want to ensure that someone gets an invite to the national tournament.
  10. I believe that this is the natural bracket according to the PWR ranking. #1 plays #16..... So while it seems unfair, it's a reflection on how the power is flawed, underranking both UND and Dumbver (as compared by the polls or the KRACH) rather than a decision by the committee. By the way I noticed that Jim Dahl has a really neat comparison feature with all the major rankings on it. http://siouxsports.com/hockey/rankings/compare/
  11. He made the deal only with consultation and approval from the Board of Higher Education. While I do blame him and did not vote for him for reelection I think the blame still goes to the Board of Higher Education who certainly had final say.
  12. The MacNaughton, The Broadmoor, and the Frozen Four

  13. Because if they stream the game, then people will watch the commercials as well and Fox doesn't want anyone to see them because they make more money. You can't expect sports announcers to sell out for purely pecuniary reasons. After all they are artists.
  14. We're supposed to support UND no matter what? Admittedly while politics are off limits there seems to be a gray area when political matters interact with our athletic teams which I believe this does. In my opinion there's something rotten starting in Twamley Hall and it's up to the alumni to address it.
  15. Is Beast Mode when the goalie takes the puck up ice and scores a greasy one up close and personal with two defenders draped over his back?
  16. Unfortunately the Board of Higher Education and too often the legislators get all of their information from the administration who are building their empires.
  17. I like to get my Italian Food at Louis Italian American Restaurant. Try the veal it's the best in the city. One time I even saw Michael, Virgil and McCluskey having dinner there.
  18. HUH? What? It was the Board of Higher Education that gave Whiskey Joe Chapman cover for all of his misdeeds. It was the board of higher education that overruled the chancellor. Now one could say that the Governor influenced the BOHE because he appointed who he wanted on there. But after the governor has no influence on their decisions.
