When Grand Forks Central changed their name in June of 1991 they continued to sell Redskins stuff until it ran out in their school store. I was lucky to have bought a hat and a jacket which i still have today.

Any other Directv customers pissed at Charley Johnson station mgr at KXJB/KVLY! He claims he is not getting the money other stations are so he did not renew the contract between KXJB and Directv and gave what 2 day notice. What an a$$hole. I hate him so much and why should they pay you the same your newscasts are identical. Same People Same News. We sent in a waiver after calling Directv and we are getting a CBS station from New York to fill in the spot the problem it could take 45 days though they say it should be sooner. But if i miss March Madness i am hunting you down Charley Johnson. You greedy bastard.

Why not add us as the 12th member of the Big 10 that way the Gophers and Badgers would have to play us in conference play. LOL!!

After reading all the new posts from the last time i posted i think everyone needs a breather. Calm down Sioux fans we know that commish is an ass for shutting us out and basically crushing all hopes of keeping the nickname. But its 2010(nickname deadline) we don't start playoff eligilbility until 2012 that is now 3 years away. A lot can happen in that time, we most likely will be getting a new nickname i am actually fine with that. I a very die hard Sioux fan wearing a Sioux shirt as a type this would love to keep the name but its not going to happen. Lets change the name and move on that way teams cannot schedule us based just on a name they would have to come up with different excuses (ex. Minnesota, Wisconsin, NDSU).

How come only Gene Taylor is speaking out on this what about the other teams in the Summit i would like to hear what SDSU has to say on this especailly scheduling UND in baseball next season. Also I think the name will be gone on or before 2010 there will be no tribal approval, so i think the Sioux should get another name then see if A. Minnesota lifts their ban on UND and if they would schedule the Sioux in the near future and B. if the Summit would want UND to apply for membership. Maybe NDSU will put a ban on UND for the name North Dakota and not for Fighting Sioux.

This commissoner is a dumbass in general. Why would you come out in the middle of a season and tell your teams not to schedule UND and not to schedule a non-counter. Well UMKC did both and SDSU just got UND this season in baseball. So why wouldn't you say this before this was done. Then you got that p-ssy Gene Taylor scared to schedule UND because it may upset the league whatever you retard. I am so hateful on these 2 guys as much as i hate Myles Brand. I hope UND gets the nickname thing done approval or not if not change the name and get into a different conference than NDSU (hopefully the Big Sky)!!

But with over 200 teams i wouldn't think it would be that difficult is it because of money or our location (not too many D1 teams around here).

Recruiting is the big thing who wants to go to a school who schedules D2 or NAIA teams or they can go to a school 70 miles south of Grand Forks and play against D1 teams like NDSU. Seems like they didn't have much problems getting D1 teams to play them during transistion especially late in their transistion years. 2009 fine play a NAIA or a d2 but after that make it a priority to play ONLY D1 teams. You think a FCS team will want you if you play Sioux Falls?? Whats next Bemidji or Minot?? I just hope in 2012 the Sioux get the required games to compete for a national title.

There are 244 other teams in D1 and we are scheduling NAIA teams??? Get the phone book and call these teams and book them plain and simple and when you are done with the 244 teams and no one bites then look at the NAIA.

This is why i would rather see the Sioux in the Big Sky or other conference and not in the Summit. What happens if the tribes accept the name then later chance their mind and we go through this again. Wouldn't the Summit kick us out.

U of Sioux Falls?? I thought Augy was the only team in SF.

Maybe the Big Sky will welcome us...well maybe not. I say start looking for a new name now. The Summit officials are a--holes for snubbing us because of our name. We should look for another conference other than the Summit especially in 2012.

What no ESPN??

2023 So i can look forward to that when my youngest son turns 17!!!!! So UND move to another conference!!!

I know the Summit has an automatic bid to the dance.. does the Great West Conference has one or is that going to take like 20 years knowing NCAA rules. And if so when would the Sioux have a realistic shot at the dance?

I looked on Yahoo, ESPN, and CBS Sportsline and there are no standings, a full schedule and as for yahoo UND isn't on there for both mens and womens basketball, only football... What gives?? Don't they recognize that we are in D1 in all sports i know they don't care about college hockey as there is very little coverage besides USCHO.com but i went to see the UND-Eastern Michigan womens game and there was a score but no stats or anything. Is the Sioux an Independant or something? Very confused here.

So with all these teams joining the GW whats our chances for moving to say either the Big Sky or the Summit for BBall or Missouri Valley for football?

Then eventually the University would have to move to Dallas.

What is this stupid chant Mankato fans sing, i don't understand it.

Damn!!!!!!! 3-3

GOAL!!!!!!!! 3-2

Doesn't William and Mary have the nickname Tribe?? All they told them to do is get rid of the feathers in their logo?

As a Dakotan I claim ownership of that name but i do give UND permisson to use the word as a nickname provided i get some incentives...like season tickets to all Sioux sporting events.

Its close, all i have heard down hear is Will you be there. Their motto they have yard signs everywhere that says that, my neighbor has one (I want a UND yard sign). And when i saw all those blue seats i was shocked. It was like um where the hell is everyone i thought maybe people were still piling in from outside but nope the dome holds over 19,000 and they said on tv attendance was around 17,000 so where were the 2000 or so people...hunting, raking leaves, or what? As for Vikings fans well their team is worse off than NDSU so its a toss up.

Since there hasn't been a home game since Sept. 13th and a game at all since Sept 27th i think the drought is enough to bring the crowd together at the Alerus so i predict a sellout! Only 2 home games remain.
