I have to give Larry Adams credit for coming up with a whole new definition of the word "Sioux" that I've never heard before.

Here's what I think is the most interesting part of the article:

From KitsapSun.com: Disrespect in the Eye of NCAA Beholder From dailypress.com: Warriors aren't worriers

Is that what this is aboot, eh?

That's because I can't afford them. But I did a lot better than Barry at predicting who'd be selected for the 2005 Hobey Baker.

Tell me why I shouldn't get what Barry Melrose gets.

I knew that if anyone responded to this thread, it would be you.

There's no possibility of me taking over for Virg. The Herald has obviously already made its decision about that.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't really see much that I would consider "sexy" about this commercial. Yes, the woman is attractive, but the camera doesn't dwell on her. I can't even tell exactly what she's wearing. It's not anything terribly revealing, however. I've seen sexier Dorito commercials.

Not that this has much to do with the Sioux name issue, but I'd like to know if others think this reaction by Martha Burk, National Council of Women's Organizations, to the new NHL TV ad you can watch here is within reason.

I hope Virg can find a way to continue to cover Fighting Sioux hockey. The press box wouldn't be the same without him. Good luck in your retirement, Virg.

From Indian Country Today: Mascot logos still hot-button issue

Seemed to work for Ralph.

Perhaps that's because the idea from the beginning was to have the Alerus designed as a convention center with a hotel attached. You can't proclaim the concept a failure before it's been completed.

And how about your sexist, homophobic avatar? What's the NCAA going to do about that?

Except Ally Sheedy kicked Molly's skinny posterior in that movie. And has there ever been a movie that could "contain" Molly Ringwald? If so, I haven't seen it.

It's not every day that a visit to North Dakota turns into national news.

I'm calling for a ban on the Molly Ringwald movie Pretty In Pink.

Watch out NCAA! Somebody else has hurt feelings. Professor to challenge Iowa's compliance with NCAA rules How could this happen at Iowa, the school the NCAA said was a "model institution" for its policy against playing schools with American Indian nicknames and mascots?

Follow your own advice.

There's a story in today's Herald about the status of UND's appeal to the NCAA. UND NICKNAME: NCAA waits to hear from tribes This is still confusing to me. I have a copy of the resolution passed by Spirit Lake in December 13, 2000, and it includes none of the conditions stated above. In fact, the resolution says that it's in direct response to UND's introduction of the current logo. Why would the tribe insist that UND use the old logo when the controversy at that time was created by the new logo? A little research in the Herald's archives could sort this out.

I wonder how many goals Bo will have to score before people stop knocking his skating.

But why? Only one group is in the wrong.
