Newman is roughly 17 blocks west of the river and out of the flood zone from the river but not safe from the sewars, and overland flooding. There is a lot of snow out there!!

I second that!!!!!

If the EERC takes control of the Ralph would that kill any thought about a Memorial Stadium upgrade and or expansion?

GO CENTRAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If its not too cold out and if the city of Fargo is not underwater I may have to go to the April 2nd doubleheader with the family.

Now lets get the hat trick with the Sioux hockey team winning tonight!!!

73-60 Sioux :46 left

67-55 UND 4:30 left

So if UND met the Gophers or Badgers for a national title they would have to forfeit. I like that outcome.

Actually the Chippewas are NOT on the sanctions list they got their blessing from their ONE tribe!!!

Just remember this everyone. If somehow they accept the pipe ceremony and UND retains the name; next year or in the near future there could be change at the Spirit Lake Sioux Tribal Council they could vote against the name then the name is over completely....Again!!! (per settlement). Remember the 20 or 30 year plan they wanted to attach to this.

How will this reflected recruiting especially for football when they won't see a home playoff game.

In the eyes of the NCAA Indian nicknames are worse.

We need to know if sanctions would hurt our membership in the Big Sky. Remember we are NOT members until 2012. They could change their minds couldn't they? Why ruin a good thing. Also more schools like Minnesota may start to ban UND so it will make scheduling a lot harder unless we play NAIA teams.

I agree with you. I love the name but the worse that could happen to UND outweighs the good of keeping the name. I just hate when something comes up to save the name only to have it fall through and crush the hopes of everyone who supports it. It happened when the Spirit Lake voted. Ok we have 1 tribe, then the SR said no vote. They got rid of RHHIT and replaced with with Murphy. Murphy was a Pro nickname candidate and got voted in guess what hopes of keeping the name went up until they delayed a thousand times to vote until the last vote which crushed all hopes. Now the legislature is doing the same thing get people thinking hey we can stay the Fighting Sioux BUT with sanctions on our athletic teams.

And how about the NCAA bans teams from playing teams on the NA watch list. Then who do we play? Sioux Falls? St. Cloud State? You piss off the NCAA and they will make you pay. Its their club.

No one bothered to show up they were in Grand Forks watching a real team. LOL!!

Since the Standing Rock Tribal Council is sitting there laughing at all of this knowing that they hold all the cards and we can do NOTHING about it...what's the point. Yes we keep the name, but we lose home playoffs, we lose our identity on the road in those playoffs, and the possibility of playing D2 and NAIA teams forever. Is it worth it.

You serious?? A petition?? How many damn petitions do we need to save the nickname?? The NCAA could say okay UND get out of our club and play in the NAIA. Its THEIR rules not ours not the states. As for being to late...Yes it is. The only way it is not too late is if the NCAA goes back on their deal (the hostile and abusive list) and say okay UND do what you have to do to save your name in x amount of years...oh wait thats been done.

Why?? Its over. The NCAA said November 30, 2010. Its January 2011. Its over. Its like losing a game but trying to tell the other team just 1 more quarter. Over means over. What is sad is getting people's hope up again only to crush them with reality. If this was January 2010 fine, but the deadline is the deadline. We need to accept that UND is not going to be the Fighting Sioux again. They are going to be the UND Fighting XXXXX. And the sooner we get a new name the sooner acceptance will set in. Should be still be fighting the GF school board and get Central, Valley, West and Wilder schools their nicknames back too?? One more thing if we keep the name...no more football playoffs in the Alerus. No more hockey playoffs in the Ralph, or Betty. No Sioux name or logo on our jerseys in the playoffs on the road. No playing Minnesota, and possibly a number of teams who are against NA team names. Is it worth to tell the NCAA go to hell we will do things our way in their association.

I still have a GFC Redskins jacket I bought from the student store in 1991 when I was a sophmore.

Phil Harmeson is a dumb@ss. UND's nickname will be gone forever. Get over it. I started to accept this but now it pisses me off that our legislature is bringing this up after the deadline. Where the f-ck where these @ssholes last year?? Or even before the Spirit Lake vote. Its too late....move on!!!!

Anything that puts UND in the news makes for good humor at BVille.
