The Whistler

The State Board of Higher Education has done a terrible job. I don't think this particular proposal is all that good, but something has to change. Tuition is skyrocketing, state support of higher education is skyrocketing* much more than that, but still the schools are crying that they don't have enough money. Something is wrong. *60% increase in the last two sessions alone. If you count the house bill it will be up 75% over the three sessions.

Way back a few years after Frenchy's closed some guy at a storage site said that he had all the old mugs and was willing to let people pick them up. I never got into Frenchy's and never had a mug so I didn't worry much about who had what. Still this was all pre flood I suppose and I don't know that someone would have held on to them all.

Shades of Ned Braden.

Providing we actually had a team that qualified.

Maybe we can worry about this if we ever get to the point where we could actually host a playoff game.

I think Kelley should just move back to Wyoming and quit pretending that somehow he's smarter than everyone in ND.

I think it's funny that we should just let it go now that the anti nickname crowd has temporarily got an advantage in the game. Why did these idiots bring it up when they lost on every other venue?

The NCAA submitted to state law in this matter.

HB1263, instructing the State Board of Higher Education to keep the Fighting Sioux Nickname, just passed the state House by a 65

Thank you for injecting reality into the conversation.

I think you should complain all the more when a bad call didn't change the game. After all there's no way to claim that was just sour grapes. And I don't think there is any excuse for screwing up a replay. I miss stuff live action the same as the referees. Of course missing stuff and just making it up out of thin air are a different thing. Things have to get better.

Wow, isn't the important thing to get the call right? I don't care if it was only because it was noticed on the big screen. The referee's job is to be watching it in the first place. They blew the call and had the chance to get it right.

Well Bina's is still superior as it was against a heated rival at a very important moment of the game. Bina's goal tied the game.

So maybe Yale is a legitimate #1.

I'm predicting the blacks come out tonight.

OK, then a couple playoff wins and I get in the Sioux Sports suite. Sweet! Just don't let goon in. He'll eat all of the fancy finger food you're paying for.

Looks like we're sure to get to the Frozen Four. Any chance I can get into the Sioux Sports Suite?

Looks like the jibes need to be elevated:

Hope they don't list us as ND State University on the promotional poster again....

cool Remember when he was mixing it up with a couple of those tree trunks from I think Cornell?

Can we only hire people that attended UND or NDSU? I don't think so.

It costs the same. The instate tuition is subsidized by the taxpayers who pay this to help our own kids. Why shouldn't the Californians pay what it costs to educate their own kids. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to help out the neighbors kids. I just don't think we can afford the huge subsidies that it takes to educate everyone else's. 505 said: I don't think we should make money on the out of state students. They should just pay what it actually costs for their education.

The Duluth bloggers are trying to feed their VCR tape into their CD-Rom drive for uploading.

I'm not against out of state students. I'm just don't see the advantage of paying for their education. Also don't you think the amount of money it costs us to educate the out of stater's. Of course if we had a true reciprocity that was a breakeven I'd be more than happy to expand the opportunity for North Dakota kids.

It's beyond their technical skills.
