I've never listened to him before... he's a very articulate speaker - with many convincing facts. I unfortunately missed much of the beginning - needing to download KNOX's 'listen live' software, restart Firefox, etc... so hope there will be a transcript or quotes of this interview posted.

Perhaps I'm getting too cynical - but when reading these letters between Goetz, Kelley & the NCAA (along with anything printed in the Herald) - I feel I need to ask myself... "What are they trying to get me to think?" They know anything they put in writing can easily become public, so could easily be playing "Wag the dog". I don't doubt for a minute that they might try to manipulate what people think by what was or wasn't put in these letters; or what,how & when the Herald reports on these issues (or made these letters available to the public). Not saying I know anything specific, but just a caution to be aware that there are often reasons we'll never know behind what info is or isn't given out...

Recent letters between the Pres. Kelley, the NCAA & Goetz don't address the open meeting as the reason for their cancellation. http://legacy.grandforksherald.com/pdfs/Fighting%20Sioux%20Nickname%20Meet%20Cancelled.pdf ( 3 letters posted out of order) - read especially the bottom letter to Kelley from the NCAA on 4/13..

It appears to be true. Not sure the proper way to quote the link.... http://www.wdaz.com/event/article/id/7930/group/homepage/ "Shaft said just shortly after University of North Dakota's President Robert Kelly informed the NCAA of the changes to the meeting, the NCAA decided to decline the invitation to the April 22 meeting in Bismarck."

And this year's Hobey Baker recipient is....

Some threads need to NOT be replied to... I'm only posting now because this is being kept high on the thread list by everyone voicing their opinion. Don't feed the trolls, it just keeps this thread alive! Let it sift down out of site, where it deserves to be... choyt3 has the best idea: http://forum.siouxsp...ea=ignoredusers

I love seeing the stick salute our guys give their fans, - and it was fun to see it a lot this year!

good point...

Duluth penalty Let's tie this game up ... & maybe go into OT ?

halfway through 3rd....

2nd period over ND-2 UMD-4

Excellent point... from the chatter, sounds like lots of Sioux fans would be willing to drive down on the weekend if they had a shot at getting tickets!

I like this announcer - knows the names and really calls the game! And color guy seems to bring up info 'relevant' to this game so far....

Watching this game from home. Will be joining other Sioux fans at TC's Referee here in Sioux Falls in a few hrs for our game ! Cheering for ND - would love to see a UND Fighting Sioux vs. ND Fighting Irish match-up ! Starting out right - a goal by Notre Dame in the 1st minute!

we hope to be there Thurs night!

official announcement from hobeybakeraward.com: "The Hobey Hat Trick of three finalists will be announced on March 31, 2011 and the Hobey Baker Award winner will be announced Friday, April 8, 2011 from the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minn., during the NCAA Frozen Four. The announcement will be aired live on ESPNU at 6:00 p.m. CT"

From Fightingsioux.com : Belfour "Went 29-4-0 to set a UND single-season wins record that still stands. Also recorded a 2.43 goals against average, a .915 save percentage and three shutouts ... " This will need to be edited a bit now

Belfour held the UND record for most wins in a season with 29. Aaron Dell tied it yesterday with UND's shutout win over RPI, and broke Ed's record today with the win over Denver!

How about Regional MVP !!!

Sweet! We were feeling bad for ya...

After the flood of '97, we had snow on our debris piles on the berm in May!

Copied this from midcosportsnet.com (It doesn't show on the online hourly schedule yet, but I'm counting on their press release) "March 25, 2011 Great news, University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux fans! Midco Sports Net will be showing the Sioux game against RPI for the 2011 NCAA Div. 1 Men's Hockey Midwest Regional Semi-Final in SD and in MN! ND markets will receive the game on ABC. Who's ready for some hockey?!"

Thanks to everyone who called! The Midcontinent people told me this morning that if enough called soon enough, they'd try to get it on somewhere!

ABC across ND will show Saturday's UND/RPI game. In SD, infomercials are scheduled on ABC at that time... Please call both Midcontinent and ABC soon to request they extend game coverage to SD also! - to reach Midcontinent, call: (800) 888-1300 #1 - home service #3 - change service #0 - talk to customer service (ask them to submit your request) - to reach ABC (KSFY in Sioux Falls) call Jeff Moen at (605) 373-7316 (if no answer, leave your # and a message requesting the game tomorrow instead of infomercials - as was done in ND)
