  1. Two words mean more to you then an entire institution? You can't be serious? You either have lost all touch with reality, or you're just here to troll. In either case, I wish you'd fold up your tent and leave.
  2. So you're saying you wouldn't have a problem with us dropping the Sioux name if they get rid of the Seminoles and the Chippewas too?
  3. I'm wishing we still have an athletic dept. in a year.
  4. Until What??? You one issue Sally's finally realize this is serious and give up what has been a lost cause for the last 6 years?
  5. I'm confused, how can NDSU only have 3 games scheduled for 2014? I would assume they have the usual conference games as well. Unless, of course the Mo Valley kicks them out for that offensive moniker.
  6. I didn't expect a decision today. But this quote is telling: Erickson said he “will try to render an opinion in the near future.” I would anticipate a ruling in a week or so. I'm sure he'll look at it thoroughly and then rule that SL has no standing and that will render the rest of the issues moot.
  7. I've heard from a credible source that the Odney Advertising Agency in Fargo has been hired to conduct research polls on people's attitudes on the name change, SBoHE, the ND Legislature, UND, and relationships with the sovereign tribes. I'm guessing that is probably related to the phone calls. Seems like there is a plan to combat the hysteria out there. I would love to see the poll numbers, but I'm sure those will be kept private.
  8. But you don't have the REAL evil listed. No UND athletic department. What is so hard to understand about that? ?
  9. Wow. Two words mean more to you then an entire institution. I wish my degree was in Psychology rather then Poli Sci, because I sure would love to analyze you.
  10. Jim, I'm curious how you came up with the rankings in the cases where there were tie scores? In the 1 point per round side, there are 7 people who all had 11 points, yet Ole came out number 1. BTW, thanks for all the work you did on this, adds an extra little touch to UND hockey.
  11. That almost makes it sound like it was intentional, and yet you said UND is claiming it was unintentional.
  12. Anyone else think it's ironic that Super Fan DaveK picked us to lose to Minnesota in the hockey bracket and had Minnesota winning it all. Now granted, I only had UND going one game further and had BC winning it all, but wouldn't you think a guy who claims to be the very heart and soul of UND athletics would at least have a little faith in his team? I'll probably get kicked to the curb for saying this, but it just seems so contrary to the front he puts up over the name.
  13. And then confusion can really reign supreme. After spending the next 2 months telling people that yes means no and no means yes for the June primary, they can then turn around and tell people it's the same issue, but yes means yes and no means no.
  14. I hope The Herald does some polling to see how everyone is leaning, and more importantly, I hope they word the polling question the right way, NOT "Do you support or oppose the Sioux nickname". I'm in Minnesota and not close to the RR Valley, so I'm not getting any vibes here. What really worries me is I remember a Poly Sci prof telling the class that if you want a NO vote on an issue in ND, put it on the Primary election. Seems that's when the die hards all vote and they vote no.
  15. I TOLD YOU SO. For months I said YES would mean No nickname, and No would mean the nickname stays.
  16. I've been there. That's why I said what I did. Makes me think we have a black cloud hanging over us
  17. How dare Me? I'll tell you what dared me. It's the fact that I want athletics at UND in five years. Do you have a back up plan to the Big Sky asking us politely to leave?
  18. Just saw the Nelson thing now. What else can go wrong today?
  19. Dave, are you going to be this excited and delusional when the Big Sky votes us out of the conference too?
  20. No contract can be made "forever". That claim in and of itself voids the entire ceremony.
  21. I don't see where they are saying we'll revisit it later, they are saying we don't want to get involved. They figure let it live or die by the ballot box. And I'm still thinking that this thing will be worded in such a way that yes means no name, and no means the name stays. I hope not, but stay tuned.
  22. When schools make major changes like what is taking place in Montana, you frequently have a situation where the new personnel want to make their mark on the program. In this instance, I can see a new AD and head coach wanting to move up to FBS
  23. SFB, I want to thank you for all the hard work you did with this. It adds a little something extra to UND hockey and on behalf of all of those who played, THANKS.
  24. Not the ending we hoped for, but nothing to hang our heads about either. Things are still better then a lot of people thought they would be back in November.
