From the Tallahassee Democrat: Relation of FSU, tribe distinctive So in other words, it's still wrong, except when it's not.

Leading an impressionable young man astray? For shame!

Oh! The hypocrisy of Myles Brand! It must be nice to pick and choose when institutional autonomy begins and ends, eh, Dr. Brand? True hostility? Real, live, nationally televised abuse? All the NCAA can do is wring its hands and hope things get better. No, of course not. You simply want to dictate which team nicknames are appropriate to say on the air and which are not. That's not censorship, is it? How convenient. Racial stereotyping, also a product of human nature, is a problem that Brand and the NCAA Executive Committee members believe they can solve by issuing a decree, but real, well-documented hostility and abuse among sports fans and "student-athletes" can be solved by urging schools to "adopt standards" and hold "leadership conferences." Isn't that special?

More positive press for Dr. Brand.

NCAA president Myles Brand certainly has some interesting ideas about the autonomy of member institutions.

I'm giving this one to Panasonic.

Plus, you can figure at least 10,000 votes by Sioux-cia, what with her being from Chicago and all.

UND is saying that the Division II manual that governs the NCAA's DII members is its contract. The NCAA dropped its requirement that all the logos in the Ralph be covered up for the West Regional playoffs when UND claimed that the NCAA was attempting to modify a pre-existing contract. And, yes, the membership as a whole could vote in an anti-American Indian nickname policy, but it would require a two-thirds super majority. Keep in mind that four NCAA rules-making committees recommended that the NCAA NOT do that. If Myles Brand was confident that he could get such a policy passed, he would have done so.

YaneA is one of the nicest Sioux fans you'll ever meet. She's a true treasure to the community. And I say that with greatest sincerity.

How many goals do you plan to score this weekend?

The correct pronounciantion of Genoway is as Hakstol said it with the hard G. But neither Colby nor Chay Genoway has a problem with people pronouncing the G as a J. So take your pick.

I'm told that Chay and Colby actually prounounce their last name with the hard G, although some of their relatives prounounce as a J. They leave it with the J sound because that's how most people say it. There's your Fighting Sioux Factoid for the night.

That's okay. I didn't want you in my line anyway.

Get in line.

Phil was injured at practice on Tuesday.

Yeah, who does he think he is? Mr. Language Person or something?

Well, he's obviously wrong.

The pronounciation guides we get every week with the line charts show the G pronounced as a J.

Tim and Swyg brought up Leveille on their show one morning earlier this week. Tim thought it was his yapping that bugged Hak, not that he'd done anything dirty.

From the Green Mill, it's the Fighting Sioux Coaches' Show with UND hockey coach Dave Hakstol and hosts Tim Hennessy and Scott Swygman. TH: Coach Dave Hakstol joins us to talk about the upcoming series at Mankato. The Sioux have been practicing at the Olympic rink all week. After sweeping UND at home, Maine moved into first place in the polls. DH: They

I should have made a bet.

Yep. 7 p.m. for Hak.

Yes. I'll be posting a summary.
