Was the vote more like a survey that the counsel will take under advisement? Will the NCAA drop the issue if the counsel approves of UND using the Sioux name?

I will be there. I hope the Sioux fans aren't as "intense" as they were when we were both in the NCC.

Please try to be a little quieter next week. We're just a lowly D2...

I certainly hope not. I don't know why we are playing UND in the first place. I guess we are honoring a commitment.

I think that would be AWESOME!

Everybody knew it was either some local or a student being stupid. The swastikas were in random bathrooms and hallways. Not in the Jewish Center or on the door of a Jewish student. You can thank the Twin Cities media for that story.

And that makes it sound so much worse. At least we have the balls to play you guys in football. Glad we could help old UND out.

It's the only thing we've won in 20 years. I think it deserves a banner.

Every SCSU player and fan went into this game thinking it would be a cakewalk. I thought that we would dominate if we got a few powerplays. UM is still high from the MSU series, and they were also playing for their friend Tom Pohl. (bless him) SCSU's preformance was an embarrassment. But what do we expect? It's par for the course come tourney time.

Will that big guy with the blond mullet be in St Paul. He's a trooper.

Is this old news? This was in the St Cloud paper today. St. Cloud could be out of the running for the 2009 International Ice Hockey Federation World Under-18 Championship if a site is awarded during a USA Hockey news conference scheduled for 2 p.m. Wednesday in Fargo, N.D. According to USA Hockey media and public relations director Dave Fischer, a “major announcement” will be made at Scheels sporting goods store in Fargo. USA Hockey Executive Director Dave Ogrean will be on hand with several dignitaries. The others will be North Dakota Gov. John Hoeven, Fargo Mayor Dennis Walaker, the general manager of the Urban Plains Center, Lance Johnson, and Dean Blais, general manager and head coach of the Fargo Force, a USHL expansion team that will call the arena home beginning next fall. “This is the first I’ve heard about it,” said Kelly Karras, sales manager for the St. Cloud Convention & Visitors Bureau and director of an 11-member committee trying to land the Under-18 tournament for the National Hockey Center. “I know Fargo has been bidding on a few other things, but this sure makes it look like (they’re getting the tournament).” St. Cloud and Providence, R.I., are the finalists with Fargo in competition for the Under-18 tournament. Fargo’s application is centered on a new rink being built for the USHL franchise. While it’s under construction, the $44 million Urban Plains Center in South Fargo is expected to be complete by next fall and include five arenas, 37 locker rooms, 40 luxury suites, 300 club seats and a capacity of about 5,000 for hockey. Providence already has the Dunkin’ Donuts Center, a facility that seats 11,000 fans for hockey and is home to the Providence Bruins of the AHL and the Providence Friars of Hockey East. It was purchased two years ago from the City of Providence by the Rhode Island Convention Center Authority for $28.5 million and will have undergone a $62 million renovation by next fall. By comparison, the Hockey Center has only been cosmetically changed since opening in 1989 at a cost of $9 million. SCSU has been lobbying for state money to help fund a renovation, which would cost about $12 million to $13 million, but those efforts have stalled the past two years. While officials remain hopeful it will happen soon, there’s no guarantee they’ll get approval in time to impact the Under-18 tournament.

In a small town, it's news. I just don't believe it happened.

Whatever. Do you know how fast that would have hit the news down here? I bet it was Saigo too.

I can assure you that Hedberg's "reasignment" at SCSU has nothing to do with Lennon's decision to leave UND.

Guess again...This is from the St Cloud Times SCSU Blog. It never ends! I can't believe the entire state system is looking at a "policy" on UND. You know what that means... http://65.36.138.212/publicus/blog/read.asp?BlogID=9 A reader question from a couple of posts ago: With UND going to the next level will SCSU still play them? Or will they develop a similar policy against UND? Or would the policy be a Minnesota State College & University policy? -- Madness from March I talked with director of athletics Morris Kurtz a few minutes ago to get an answer. "We don't have a policy," he said, "but we suspect MnSCU will be working on a policy, and then we'll go from there."

so its not as bad as it seems

Good win for UND today. Have you ever seen a worse SCSU offense? This season is an all time low for SCSU fans. Now we have to go up there next year??? My God

That doesn't surprise me a bit!

I was more than a little surprised that SCSU was willing to play UND next year. I remember NCC teams backing out of games with NDSU when they moved to DI. Hedberg is a class guy and runs a class program. I think there is allot of respect from SCSU towards UND. I think SCSU programs look at UND as a model for DII sports.

On his radio show, Hedberg said that SCSU will be playing UND in Grand Forks next year. Yikes! It will be SCSU's second game on the schedule.

Hammersmith, I think you posted the admissions for Fall 2006. Anyway, I have to agree that the flip flop of the number of applicants is interesting. UND is still more selective. And the percentage that enrolled tells me that UND was not a "back-up" choice. I wonder if we will see that number change (less selective) http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/cool/screen.aspx?screenId=10 UND Number of applicants 3,698 Percent admitted 73.7% Percent admitted who enrolled Full-time 69.0% Part-time 0.8% NDSU Number of applicants 3,959 Percent admitted 89.0% Percent admitted who enrolled Full-time 56.8% Part-time 2.0%

ahhh...i missed that this was from 2004

I think you also have to look at acceptance rates. Fall 2006 Statistics http://www.usatoday.com/news/education/200...legerates_x.htm NDSU's acceptance rate was 96.5% with 3665 applying and 3538 being accepted. UND's acceptance rate was 69.2% with 4344 applying and 3006 being accepted UND is more selective. When it comes to education and prestige, size is not everything.

Minnesota fans claim to be the class of the WCHA. Here is some video what I have been saying for a long time. Some friendly jabs are a norm for visitors, but being physical is ridiculous! Maybe these videos have been around for a while, but they are new to me. Here is some video of the UM/MTU game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBxkC4KaLus http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cwv9MsjG5Zk...ted&search= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a761RZrecNs
