  1. Great! How about we make it a father-son deal?
  2. From the Herald & Review: Shelbyville family with Chief Illinwek heritage decries NCAA ruling as uninformed
  3. More on the NCAA's William & Mary ruling from the Hampton Roads (VA) Daily Press: Decision gives W&M half of what it wanted on mascot and logo The NCAA rules William and Mary may keep its "Tribe" nickname but can't use American Indian feathers on its icon.
  4. Gosh, good question. Maybe we should just send them back.
  5. I was hoping that you would be his mentor.
  6. YaneA personally delivered my Holy Cross practice jersey to my house! What service. But alas, it's a little to small for me. It fits my son perfectly, however, so he'll be the one wearing it as a UND freshman next school year.
  7. The NCAA's continued reliance on this statement to justify its policy represents some of the most misguided, illogical thinking ever. I read an article during March Madness about a couple of basketball players who drew the worst kind of hostility and abuse from the fans of opposing teams. Did the NCAA order the schools to leave those players at home? No. We've all heard of instances in which black players had racial slurs hurled at them by opposing fans. We've all heard of sexist comments directed against women athletes by fans of opposing teams. Does the NCAA tell schools to leave their black players or female teams at home? Of course not. It's silly to penalize one school for the behavior of other school's fans. If something needs to be done, the burden is on the school with the unruly fans to do something about them. Solving behavior issues related to racism at the schools of UND's oppenents in athletics is NOT our problem. But for some reason, when it comes to American Indian nicknames and imagery, schools such UND and William & Mary are expected to shoulder the responsibility for the racist behavior of opposing teams' fans -- as if they have the power or authority to control any school's fans but their own. It puts UND in the position of having to control the "hostile and abusive" behavior of all the teams they play, which is absolutely ridiculous.
  8. William & Mary is added to the NCAA's "hostile and abusive" list, according to this article from the Houston Chronicle.
  9. Except FSU doesn't do that.
  10. Don't you mean Andy Schneider?
  11. What did you expect?
  12. Doreen Yellow Bird had an interesting column in Saturday's Grand Forks Herald: Tribal governments need checks
  13. This editorial in today's Bismarck Tribune calls for UND's surrender on the nickname issue.
  14. And now for the rest of the story. The image comes from this poster promoting the United Tribes International Powwow next September at United Tribes Technical College. The red type near the bottom reads: Archambault was an artist from the Standing Rock Sioux tribe.
  15. I'm curious as to how people react to this image. What do you think when you see it? What message do you get from it? What does it symbolize to you? I'm looking for serious answers here.
  16. All I can say is that it's a good thing THETRIOUXPER is so busy pressing together the two halves of his cracked crystal ball while waiting for the glue to dry that he can't type right now.
  17. Redwing77 is partly correct. When NCAA president Myles Brand was asked how it was that the nickname "Red Men" was okay for Carthage College but "Redmen" was not, he gave this explanation:
  18. So the duct tape worked?
  19. I doubt that such a petition would have any impact on the NCAA. They've made it clear that the approval of the tribal government is all that they'll consider.
  20. Have you tried duct tape?
  21. If you're so bothered, why don't you ask someone in a position to know and do something about it instead anonymously of posting inuendo on an Internet message board?
  22. I'm not an attorney, either, but I was hoping that someone who is would chime in. To me, it appears obvious that the intent of the "no hosting" part of the NCAA policy is to financially harm any school that doesn't comply. Maybe the NCCA could argue otherwise, but I have a difficult time believing that they could sell that position to a judge.
  23. So you've forgiven me for breaking your Sioux hat at the Final Five?
  24. We don't need no stinkin' hints. I'm going to call on THETRIOUXPER to engage in some of his famous crystal balling. That always produces quick, reliable results.
  25. I concur. There's no doubt about it. YaneA is the epitome of a Sioux fan, both in terms of devotion and generousity.
