The Summit is an autobid and is a realistic possibility...unless the Big 12 or Big 10 come calling? I'm not for selling our soul for a conference invitation, but middle ground needs to be found, and I'm trusting that those conversations between Kelley, Faison, and Douple are happening.

I agree with you. The settlement with the NCAA was reached. What next? I don't see Standing Rock letting this go to a vote.

The politically correct minority is now running the show at our colleges, universities, and in turn the NCAA, unfortunately. So we keep up the fight and retain the nickname, what is gained? You're crippling the athletic department's ability to compete with it's peers.

I agree with your ideology, but in UND's case I'm afraid this ship sailed with the signature of the settlement agreement with the NCAA. It's less about appeasing PC lunatics at this point, and more about removing roadblocks to the progress of the athletic department and the university as a whole.

100% agree.

Cornell is neck and neck with them for that distinction.

It's Demolition Man, and I'm totally on the same wavelength with you. It was a parody of future society and now it's exactly where we're headed.

Captain Insano shows no mercy.

The roster will definitely be taking on a Minnesota flavor again in the next few years.

I don't understand your position on this at all, I guess my ties to UND run deeper than that. If the name changes, it will be mostly the same kids on the team the following year. I appreciate your response, we'll agree to disagree on that one.

Not that it's any of my business, but a couple of things are bothering me here. Why is Goon's distaste of the Gophers "silly and irrational", while your hatred of all things NDSU is justified? Please reconcile that for me. Okay, then you go into this diatribe about anybody that doesn't bother to watch Saturday's final is not a fan? You have stated in the past that if and when the Fighting Sioux name is changed, it will be a "different team"? Maybe you're not a true fan of North Dakota hockey? Maybe I'm wrong, but you've eluded to the fact that you'll pull the plug on your support for the program? That doesn't sound like much of a fan to me, please correct me if I'm wrong. I don't mean to pick at you, I'm on the same page as you with the glam metal and long hair, etc. and you do some cool things with sharing your collection of sports videos, but the above points seem to contradict themselves and I'm wondering what you have to say about it.

Friday-Sunday could work on the basketball weekend, that's what I'd like to see. I didn't like the early Saturday start for the finals in the past. And you want to avoid the evening time slot on that Saturday like the plague.

Way off topic, but this Nick Adenhart story is really sad.

Which year?

It's okay Dave. Once the Fighting Sioux name is gone you can put on the "Treasured M" and get rid of the facade.

epic comeback needed by BSU now, 3-1 MIA End 2.

Minn, BC, and Michigan are all golfing...there are no bad guys.

1-0 Miami early 2nd.

Watch out for the Libyans.

0-0 End 1st

Ditto. Too bad about 9/12, but I'm sure they did everything they could.

Let's not imply that there was "leadership" involved in the cases of Winnipeg and Grand Forks. Duff's Ditch was built largely in part to the 1950 flood. The same with the 60-foot dike in GF built reactively to 1997. Unfortunately that seems to be the way it works, $h1t hits the fan and various agencies appropriate money in prevention mode.

A road game in Fargo is something I could certainly live with. A cash game on the road would be even better if there's any to be had, but we already have one of those against TT.

Make it 3-1 BSU.
