The article states that Jason Gregoire will be returning for his senior year. We wish!!

In defense you sure didn't see an email from the provost sent to the nc$$ attaching the results of the Spirit Lake Sioux tribe that voted in favor of the sioux name. You would think that would be just as important news as this satisfied at least half of the two tribe permission we need.

Now that is funny.

Might as well add the Wittchow kid as he said he is looking at UND and other WCHA schools.

I will almost certainly gurantee JT suits up for the Sioux the next year or two. After that all bets are off.

Amen to that.

It's tough to argue that and if true we are perhaps better off without him. I tend to think once here he will have a different perspective.

It would be nice to see the tax money the state can collect from all this. Distribute some to all ND residents. Perhaps Native North Dakotans get a percentage more than Transplants.

Oh yeah. Let's go Sioux. Sioux yeah yeah!

There of course are two sides to every story and then there's the truth. I think when looking at this from face value it looks pretty bad. However there were a good many who did and do have problems with Alice. I respect and admire her long dedication to UND and the many people she has touched. I work at UND and know people in her area who are happy she is gone. You see Alice thought she was going to just roll right over Dr. Ressor and run things the way she wanted to run them. It has been known for a while that President Kelley was looking in a new direction and ideas for Student Enrollment. He didn't like the model of just getting as many students as possible to stack numbers much like NDSU did with Chapman. Dr. Kelley is looking for good enrollment but is now focusing in on quality and not quanity. I wish Alice the best and most of us average workers would never have received a severance package so she does at least have a years worth of pay and a payout of her vacation and percentage of sick time. She probably got a check for close to 200,000. This is just a point of view from the inside. Not saying this was right but I did want to share that there are some people on campus who think this was a good move.

What's that Zajac thinking.

Well hopefully with JGregs departure this will be the last person leaving. It kind of feels like Wisconsin around here with all these departures. I kid! We certainly will have a different look but that doesn't mean it is a bad thing either. As I have said before #8 will come when we least expect it. After this season I agree with that statement even more. It will be fun to see the new freshies come in. I hope Grimaldi and Miller tear it up.

Goon you are so right. I tell you what when UND does win # 8 it will be during a time that we least expect it. Look no further than UMD as a prime example.

Best of luck to you Jason you were a great sioux player. I really thought he would come back and finish his senior season. It really makes you appreciate those players that do decide to stick around when the bigs come calling. I think last year was probably an anomoly and we won't see a large group of players stick around like that again.

I understand this is an oxymoron!

I feel these are the role players that make Sioux hockey successful. I mean the gophers get all the superstars and look where that leaves them.

Man I hope JGregs comes back for his Senior year. #StayaSioux

I agree with that point however Trupp was a creative mastermind that will be missed.

I just love how politicians and elitists think they know what is best for us the common folk. No name attached to the piece and it was clearly a hatchet job. I think this will be headed back to court because the will of the people in North Dakota is to have the Fighting Sioux nickname.

Sounds like they were going to before it became open to the public.

To be honest until the teams can be more successful interest will be minimal. Those are not neccessarily my views but I have heard others say so. With interest and success will coverage only change.

Your probably right.

That is bad news. I would expect he will sign. Could be the start of some early signings that have for the most part evaded us the last couple years. #StayaSioux

He is still enrolled in school. That is a fact.
