..and we talk politics in this one and it stays open.

They are working on updating the website as we speak: www.redcrosstc.org

This is awful. I can't believe it. Our thoughts and prayers to those people and their loved ones.

The general public doesn't give a rat's hind end whether the message is delivered through a white paper or a documentary.

Hey, I'm all about lowering dependence on fossil fuels. I respect your opinion, but I just happen to think it's less about "climate change", and more about empowering religious lunatics in the Middle East.

Yeah, it was those medieval era SUV's and pick-up trucks that triggered the Little Ice Age in Europe about 700 years ago.

Webinars that try to sell me on seminars.

Great news if true!!

Miles Brand and the NCAA demonstrated a lack of "perspective" (by your definition) by refusing Kupchella's invitations, would you agree? They formed an opinion that our sporting events are a "hostile and abusive" environment. Lack of perspective, indeed.

How are Native Americans being harmed by "University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux"? No one has been able to answer that question. Feel free to take a stab, I'll listen.

"Courageous attempt to do the right thing?". That's devil's advocate talking. You don't believe an ounce of that drivel, and you know it.

Arrogance - Brand, Harrison, and Co's refusal to acknowledge Kupchella's repeated overtures to visit the campus, come out to a game, and decide for themselves whether the surroundings were "hostile and abusive". Poor judgement - The hasty exemptions for Florida State, Utah, and Central Michigan.

Exactly. Common sense says that the policy wouldn't stand a chance. But these are college presidents we're talking about here.

Agree 100% here. Ironically, I also think that the nickname ban would have breezed through a membership vote with about a three-quarters majority.

Sometimes cheap is expensive...as the NCAA is finding out.

How about the banning of bottled water at it's events? Plastic bottles are very hostile and abusive to the enviornment, you know....wait, Coca-Cola and Pepsi are multi-billion dollar enterprises, so scratch that.

The Pop Can, second weekend in April. Be there or be square.

Agreed. The minimum expectations for this program, annually, should be top-half of the WCHA, Final Five appearance, and field of 16 selection. Anything short of that ain't Fighting Sioux hockey. Would falling short of this for one season be grounds for Hak being in trouble? Probably not.

There were more factors involved than just the "grass looking greener" on the NHL side.

Sweet mother of God WHAT IS THE HOLDUP??
