Then that would knock Darell and Dave's ass out of it. The bottom line is if one isolates the nickname issue it is purely a UND problem and a fight between UND fans. NDSU has not a damn thing to do with it. But.......the reality is this situation has been used by the Carlson crew in the Legislature to make a power grab. So, we all have a hell of a stake in this fight......and the fight is not going in a direction that is going to help Higher Ed. These petty damn arguments over whose football team is better will not mean !@#$ if the Legislature starts to micro-manage our schools. And as could be expected, some of the biggest loudmouths on the board are guys that never even graduated from a SBOHE school.......I give you DaveK and Darell1976......they just don't get what is at stake......because the have no stake in either institution other that going to a few athletic events. Christ!

Any Bison fan that would vote to keep the name is a fool. Actually, let me restate that......any North Dakotan that would vote to retain the nick name is a fool. The real nightmare for the entire system will come when the legislature meets and Al Carlson and his cronies start flexing their new found political power and hammer higher ed.

Are you completely stupid? This is a terrible ruling for all of higher ed, not just UND. Maybe if you had actually attended something other than Aakers Business College you would understand this.

......and if that is the case, heads needed to roll. Just a sad situation for all of FCS football.

Pretty damn stunning watching this. I had a chance to meet and visit with Jim O'Day at the FCS Championship game in Frisco. I was impressed with his candor and I think he is a stand up guy. It is too bad that he got dismissed. Jim O'Day was a big ally for UND in this nickname storm with the Big Sky.

Dude.....there are "people of Aztec descent" in Mexico, no tribe as we have with the Sioux! You know, I think this !@#$ with the NCAA is stupid too, but it is over. Sanctions are here. People like you that have never even attended UND don't get it. I guess they didn't teach you any native history at Aakers Business College......

Indeed.......3 days ago......hell....so busy at work I can't keep track of everything!

Good grief......you guys need to lighten up. LOL!

I am hoping Weber wins because I usually run over to Ogden for the final round of the tourney. Great facility at Weber State.

I cannot take credit for this incredible tool to evaluate your relationship with the fairer sex. None other than CAS posted this useful item on Bisonville and I figured it must be shared with our most hated rivals.....and besided, with all the infighting !@$! about the name.....you guys need some distraction. If you answer the question, make sure to share with your significant other. I am sure it will be a great conversation starter...... Given that EVERYONE on here seems to be a little to sensitive these days, what with whining and crying about almost everything, I figured it's time for a CAS sensitivity test. So, are you an overly sensitive male, or are you DA MAN!! Give 'er a go: Sensitivity Quiz 1. In the company of females, intercourse should be referred to as: A. Lovemaking. B. Screwing C. Taking the pigskin bus to tuna town. 2. You should make love to a woman for the first time only after you've both shared: A. Your views about what you expect from a sexual relationship. B. Your blood-test results. C. Five tequila slammers. 3. You time your orgasm so that: A. Your partner climaxes first. B. You both climax simultaneously. C. You don't miss ESPN Sports Center. 4. Passionate, spontaneous sex on the kitchen floor is: A. Healthy, creative love-play. B. Not the sort of thing your wife/girlfriend would agree to. C. Not the sort of thing your wife/girlfriend needs to ever find out about. 5. Spending the whole night cuddling a woman you've just had sex with is: A. The best part of the experience. B. The second best part of the experience. C. $100 extra. 6. Your wife/girlfriend says she's gained five pounds in the last month. You tell her that it is: A. Of no influence on your affection for her. B. Not a problem, she can join your gym. C. A conservative estimate. 7. You think today's sensitive, caring man is: A. A myth. B. An oxymoron. C. A moron. 8. Foreplay is to sex as: A. An appetizer is to an entree. B. Primer is to paint. C. A long line is to an amusement park ride. 9. A woman who is uncomfortable watching you masturbate: A. Probably needs a little more time before she can cope with that sort of intimacy. B. Is uptight and a waste of time. C. Shouldn't have sat next to you on the bus in the first place. Evaluating Results: If you answered A more than 7 times, check your pants to make sure you really ARE a man. If you answered B more than 7 times, check into therapy. You're a little confused. If you answered C more than 7 times, YOU DA MAN!

Wow......that one is shocking and pretty damn sad.

If NDSU is ever going to have a shot at the MVC, we damn well better get our basketball problem figured out.

OK......I have to say that I have not heard the story of Texas fans cutting off the nuts of an Oklahoma fan. Tell me more about this........sounds like an urban legend, but I am suspecting it actually happened......

Good combo.......you can enjoy lutefisk and green beer!!!!!

Dave.......go to Norway. People in Norway don't give a sh!# about hockey. They are nuts about soccer and nordic skiing. I bet you have never even set foot in Norway. Stop talking out of your ass. Between this and your perspective on the name change.......ignorance is running rampant.

Streaming can be hit and miss at times unless you have one heck of an ISP. I know ours out here in Green River is lousy, so I will have to keep Directv. Added beni with Directv......I take a dish out camping with me and then when using the travel trailer, I can get TV anywhere for an extra $5 per month. I just use my old SD dish and an extra SD receiver that I activate when I head out camping (usually May-Oct).

Hell yes.......what is wrong with playing Russian Roulette with one of the major Higher Ed institutions in North Dakota. It sure seems sensible to me.

Jackson has been back to Williston on numerous occasions.

Every one of us......UND or NDSU fan......better be hoping the SBOHE prevails on this lawsuit. This is one of those occasions where UND and NDSU would be hurt by a ruling supporting Carlson and the assclowns in the legislature. That is assuming you care about your entire University rather than just the Hockey program.......

OK.....now I am going to cry foul.......I have to go find glasses to read that darn small print........

And......that will get you nothing......figure it out......geez.

Last I heard, UND was an institution of higher ed.......with many sub entities.......not just a hockey team.

The North Dakota Legislature is notorious for trying to micro-manage Higher Ed in ND. The Carlson nickname bill was just one of many attempts to weaken the autonomy of the SBOHE that is mandated by the ND Constitution. I think that a ruling in favor of the SBOHE on retirement of the nick name would have potential huge ramifications in limiting the micro-management from the asshats in the ND Legislature.

It sure seems to me that young teams struggle on the road and have very inconsistent play. The midmajor team to watch from out here is Weber. I am going to hit one of their games in the next month.

From what I have heard from some friends that are Weber alumni, UVU is a total pushover. You ought to kill them by 30.
