Priorities--that is the issue that I have and probably lots of other "whites". If the logo/name is their priority, then they have MORE issues than are preceived. They don't seem to care as you NEVER hear anything about the issues and what they are doing about them. Same social issues--yes, but to the alarming rates as other ethnic groups (in this state)?? You could do better than that. Stereotyping--again another PC mantra for ignoring the real issues. By the way, you seem to have a pretty good handle on stereotyping yourself. Again, you see this one way, and your opinion is taken under asdvisement, but I see it another and I'll leave it at that.

The issues that I think we'll agree to disagree on is the hypocritical defenses. The Anti-Sioux crowd tends to be of one of 2 factions--PC crowd or Native Americans. Now do they have a right to their opposition--again YES. But the PC group barks at anything they deem not right or correct. The Indian oppositon is because of how they feel, and I have seen written and heard, "violated, racism, abused"...all of which are probably more than valid. BUT where is the PC/Indian crowd in voicing their concerns with the true Native American issues that have plagued generations after generations. You want to talk about hypocritical?? A name and logo are bigger issues to Native Americans than high rate of teen pregnancies, single family homes, high school drop-outs, alcoholism, should I continue? It would be refreshing to hear Jeanotte, His Horse Is Thunder and all the other Indian "leaders" address real issues with the same passion as they are in fighting the name/logo issue. But it is never as glamorous to clean one's own house as it is to try to point out the mess in someone else's house!

Gets back to being committed to the team and not yourself. Also speaks of integrity and character. Some people have it and some don't...AG?? All I know is AG is not with the TEAM!

Flew back from the West Regional last year seated next to Lammy's girlfriend at that time. IF he's still dating her and if it was her, I would be shocked! She seemed like a real sweet young lady, but as my Grandma always said, "Pretty is as pretty does"

According to AG's father in the GF herald, AG left due to lack of "playing" time??? Sounds like AG got caught in the middle of a power "play".

Totally agree. Too much "me" plus his father's influence/opinion in this equation equals AG gone.

If everyone holds serve, we'll get Winona back at the Alerus for another 50+ point playoff drubbing.

This team is talented plain and simple. They played their first poor game of the year and those things happen when you are dealing with 18-20+ year olds. Now if they get swept at WI then a red flag might go up. The first 2 lines are solid. What I am amazed by is how the team is getting almost nothing from Miller and Zajac. Those 2 have too much talent to have done so little so far. The 4th line is what it is...a 4th line. The D has been solid but not great. Phil has been outstanding overall. Don't forgot CC has lots of speed and talent. They, along with UND, more than likely be 2 of the top 3 teams when the WCHA race is all said and done. They have 8 leagues games before Christmas break and I see them getting no less than 10 points.

Actually thought the 4th line had some good moments early but struggled later as Forney's tank seemed to get empty midway thru the 2nd. Don't like Radke tonight. Why play him when CC struggles to score 5 on 5? Radke is good for 3 trips to the box tonight if he suits up! If there is a better 2-way player in college hockey than Oshie, let me know! Thought Finley was totally suprised early by some of CC's players speed. Looked like a pylon early, but played much better there after. JLP made some unremarkable saves early, but I'm sure he feels he should have stopped the 2 he let in. I thought Walsky was the fastest player on the ice, but our guys did a nice job containing him (and Seatt and Rau.) Think the boys will play just as well tonight...UND 5 CC 3.

One touchdown game at half, but UND pulls away late. UND 27 SCSU 10

I think tonight will be a 1 goal game (flip a coin) decided on a bounce here of there: 4-3 UND. UND rolls Sat. 5-2. I'll say sweep, but I would not be at all suprised if CC wins tonight.

Exactly my concern. Unless UND can broker some type of long-term "lease" agreement with the tribes to use the Sioux name during this 3 year period, I would not want a "day to day" agreement with the Indian leadership we have come to know and love over past number of years!

She must have lunch regularly with Leigh Jeanotte...same lame rhetoric from both over the past few months.

Softer than Britney Spear's mid-section at the MTV Music Awards

Always interesting to see the polls. UND splits with Tech in MI. UND gives up it's only goals of the year in a loss on Fri. and Tech is not even in the game during Saturday's rout, yet Tech goes up 1 spot and UND drops a spot. Now I know Miami is 6-0, but are they the best team in the nation?? No. Is BC the 2nd best team in the BSC FB poll?? Probably not. It is polls that make boards and threads like this going.

On a side note, I read the GF Herald, Bismarck Tribune and Fargo Forum on Saturday concerning the Indian leadership's response to the settlement. There seems to be, at this point, little chance from their responses that a deal will or could be worked out. What I did find laughable were the comments from David Gipp, president of United Tribes Technical College in Bismarck. He was qouted as saying that UND's "meddling" during this 3 year period of negotiations will cause "untold damage" in the lives of "good (Indian) people and families". Is he serious? This is the mentality that UND will have to deal with for 3 years. Indian leadership in this state continues to see the tree and not the forest. The real "untold damage" has been going on for decades in the form of high rates of unemployment, alcoholism, teen pregnancies, high school drop-outs and single parent homes. I am always waiting to hear Indian leadership address these real issues that are causing and will continue to cause "untold damage", but my feeling is that the UND Sioux logo and nickname will be long gone before this state's true Indian social/cultural issues are addressed by it's own leadership To think that UND can work out a deal with this type of thinking and leadership will be difficult to say the least.

Oshie and Duncan had 3 total points for the year coming into this game. Just doubled down a few minutes into the 2nd!

4 goals in the last 3 games (8 periods) is not the offensive production UND should be getting with the talent and depth they have. UND needs to put a minimum of 4 on the board tonight and with JPL playing solid--SIOUX 5 LEGO BUILDERS 2

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they only have 3 points TOTAL between them in the 4 games so far.

Second goal he didn't see at all thru traffic and the 3rd goal was an empty netter. JPL played well enough for UND to win. 4 goals in the last 8 periods is more of a concern!!!
