Isn't it wonderful how those who think the lawsuit against the NCAA is a waste of time automatically assume that the money donated to fund the lawsuit would have been used for some higher purpose of which they approved?

I see that Robert Morris swept Niagara this weekend (7-1, 5-2). I can only hope that this bodes well for UND's place in the INCH Power Rankings next week.

Do you realize that by selectively taking my words out of context, you have interpreted them to mean something that was never intended? Try reading all of what I wrote in context and you won't have that problem. Well, obtuseness and all that. Many UND fans who frequent this board have known for years about Wisconsin's policy. It's been discussed on here almost as long as the Fighting Sioux nickname has been an issue. You seem to believe that because you didn't know about Wisconsin's policy, nobody at UND did either.

No, it's clear that I meant exactly what I posted and you are purposely choosing to misinterpret what I wrote.

And where did I write that UND didn't know about Wisconsin's and Iowa's policies?

That wasn't my point at all. UND was well aware of Iowa's and Wisconsin's policies long before the decision was made to move to DI. Minnesota's policy was probably something of a surprise given that the Gophers had played the Sioux in other sports besides hockey. My point was that it's ridiculous to expect UND's administrators to understand each school's policy when the administrators at those schools didn't understand them, either.

I remember when it was still under a glacier.

Does it seems "incredible" to you that there was confusion at Minnesota and Wisconsin about what their university's policies actually meant? If administrators at those schools weren't certain of their policies, how is it that UND was supposed to know? How was UND supposed to know that Minnesota had a policy against playing the Fighting Sioux when it had scheduled athletic events against them in the past?

What goes around comes around. It would be wise for some people to remember that when they're having "fun" at another team's expense.

If you go here and click on the 6 p.m. newscast, the story about Bina is the first one on.

I'm just posting based on what I heard. I hope I got it right. If I can find a link to some information online, I'll post it.

WDAZ reported that Bina will be charged with the misdemeanor of escaping custody. He allegedely opened the door of a police car to help some players escape. Even worse, Robbie was on probation for a DUI violation. The entire team met this morning with the Grand Forks police chief.

I have a feeling that I will very soon.

Robbie deserves some positive publicity. Michelle Burgard and Robbie Bina named Scholar Athletes of the Month

You guys aren't even close enough to score a hit with a nuclear bomb.

That's true. Now that I think about it, you and Sappysieve spend an awful lot of time together. What's that about?

That's a legitimate question, although it seems to assume that the change is inevitable. And maybe it is, but I don't think we're there yet. Here's another point to consider: We Sioux fans like to point out the hypocrisy of the NCAA, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and other schools for abandoning their high-minded principles on the nickname issue whenever they have the chance to make a buck. Would UND be any better if it abandoned its principles for the sake of playing certain teams at the DI level? Some things should be more important than making a buck or playing a game. That's where I come from on this issue.

You can't handle the little red shovel!

For the record, I thought you were an excellent coach. You were almost as good as forecheck in her prime.

Good grief. Obviously, Wisconsin won't play us in anything besides hockey. Is this big news to you? Wisconsin had this policy in effect long before the NCAA chose to muddy the issue. Minnesota has had its policy for years, but didn't enforce it. Perhaps this will better explain my position to you.

Sappysieve should leave. I was there first.

Sappy has been searching for the source of the wine pipeline, but the last time I saw him, he was digging a trench toward University Park. Obviously, my misinformation campaign is working.

I get that your head is full of wildly exaggerated fears.

That's probably it. The people being arrested were NDSU football players!
