Since we are scheduled with Texas Tech (which i don't see any school connection, but whatever) is there any chance of more Big 12 teams like Iowa State, Nebraska, Colorado or any Kansas schools?? I point out about the school connection cause it seems the Sioux play big name teams with a connection only like basketball with Kansas and Iowa State.

Its a lost cause. There won't be a vote of all the natives just a vote of the tribal council and thats what will kill the Sioux nickname. Its done and over, what UND should do now is get some new nickname ideas from alumni, facilty and students. RIP Fighting Sioux.

They had to replace it due to the 97 flood.

I agree if they don't get a vote of the people of their tribes then the Sioux name is dead cause the tribal council is NOT going to change their minds in less than 2 1/2 years.

So now we don't have to follow the Bison to the Midcon or what ever they call that BBall conference they are in. Does the Great West have an automatic bid to the 64 tournament??

So Bison fans would rather have a rivalry with the f-in Gophers or SDSU than the Sioux. Whatever; that guys a dumb@ss.

I think the Bison should keep their mouths shut til they win games that count. Your transition period games don't mean sh-t if you aren't in the playoffs so tell you what get the same record as last year and go to the playoffs and actually host one in the dome then come back here and run your mouths. As for saying we need to play the Bison....WHY??? We need to play the Bison like we need to play the Gophers. For what? Are you guys still sore we have the Nickel? Bout time to retire that with the Sitting Bull Trophy We will play you guys in the future don't worry about that. We have our transition period to go through and if and I said IF you guys are a I-AA powerhouse in 2012 we will put you on the schedule and renew the rivalry, until then our games don't mean di-k til the period is over (IMO). Just like your games didn't mean sh-t until this upcoming season.

Is college hockey going to change the way they do overtime?? I would love to see shootouts and get rid of ties.

Even though they lost in the Frozen Four they still had a great season. Lots of excitement and if it means anything they can say they got somewhere that 55 other teams did not go. Next year will be the year and if BC stands in the way.....knock them down!!!!! GO SIOUX!!!!!

They barely have football.

I too thought about fireing Hak but only cause he left Lamy in there after the 4 goals in the first period Walski played great against Bemidji State put him in and maybe you give your team a shot Lamy had a very bad night. If your QB through 4 picks in the first qtr would you keep him in there the whole game? Same situation. So next year get the bugs out, make sure you schedule BC at the Ralph and kick the living sh-t out of them!! Then take the WCHA title, then the final five title and finally the national title. You can do it Sioux. Lets rally around the 08-09 team and keep fighting! (and ND leads Mich 1-0.)

I know in 1997 the Sioux scored 5 goals in the 2nd period vs Boston U. So maybe they could score 7 but then maybe we won't see any snow tonight.

Way to choke Sioux!!! As for Lameroux get him the hell out of there that is why you have 2 goalies on your team. Hakstol Fire him!!!! Can't win the big one what good is he. Is Blais still around.

Fighting Klan??? So all Indian nicknames are racists??? Seminoles, Utes, Chippewas? So you drive up to Belcourt, ND and tell them they are racists cause they have an Indian nickname, and see what they say to you.

Actually the minority said it was okay to have slaves..remember the civil war?? If majority ruled on slavery Abe Lincoln would have agreed that slavery was okay. Open a history book.

Please explain to me why we have to get rid of our names cause the natives say its offensive but yet watching the ND class B tourney and seeing the Four Winds INDIANS? Double standard? Where were the protesters? Oh but Cleveland can't be the Indians. http://www.fourwinds.k12.nd.us/education/s...php?sectionid=2 Is this logo acceptable to the Native American people? Maybe the Sioux should change their name to the Indians and have this logo?? Works for Four Winds

Just tell your son that if you complain and are in the total minority you can get your way. There is no majority rule when it comes to PC. Those people should be on a deserted island somewhere where they can just bitch to each other and no one would care.

Cableone is very very bad, I wish we could have Midcont. here but I don't have to worry about that next month as we are getting Directv.

Its on FSN here in Fargo. Yea!!!!!!!!!! GO SIOUX!!!

So if i dress as an Indian for Halloween is that unacceptable too?? THis PC BS needs to stop. If UND changed their nickname then had this party would we be having this discussion?? Its really stupid that a bunch of college kids can't have a party where you dress up pretty soon Halloween is next.

Then why can't the games be on ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPN Classic?? Is College Hockey that unattractive to the rest of the country.

I would leave the board out of it just let the students and alumni vote.

Just change the name so we don't have to worry about future sanctions and nickname debate crap and protesters ever again!!! This is stupid the AG f'd up when he gave in to the NCAA (he will never get my vote ever). So just change the name the tribes are not going to approve it...EVER! So quit wasting time just come up with a bunch of names and let the students and the city of GF vote for the name i would say the state but that means the Rez has a say on the new name so thats why it should be the school and/or the city. This way we could host a regional in hockey and when the 5 years are up we could host a playoff game in BB and football. Imagine the ralph hosting a regional in basketball, that would rock!!!

Why do we need both tribes, aren't one good enough? Did FSU and Cent. Mich get all their tribes support??

So if the nickname passes with this kind of a vote would that a$$hole Ron His Horse Is Thunder do the same thing at the Standing Rock? Or would he be too scared about the outcome.
