Country music is reason enough for me to boycott them. Apparently, they never considered that the word "Suck" would be upside down to anyone at the game.

I move we add WBB to the list of sports UND has already surpassed NDSU in during transition.

So if they always out-recruit UND, that means they were out-coached in 10 of the last 13 meetings?

Last football game as the Fighting Sioux. Also, FSC tailgate has been moved to Playmaker's. http://www.fightings...DB_OEM_ID=13500

That implies consent. That's a step up.

I'm sure Kolpack is on it.

I didn't have an opinion of the Ag College one way or the other when I arrived at UND. I developed one shortly thereafter Murph was the most inspirational leader I've encountered in my life. And it's not even close. Rest in peace, Coach.

Yes, UND is a hockey school. But if it was a hockey school "period" you probably wouldn't be here. I have no idea how old you are. I'm old enough to remember several swings back and forth between UND and NDSU for football superiority. Granted, NDSU has clearly accomplished more in football (National Championships). We've got no answer for those 10-12 years that you had most of your success. Even then UND still leads the series and trails in conference titles by 2-3. It would take more for the pitchforks to come out at Memorial Stadium than it would in Fargo (or at the Ralph). But if you think Mr. Faison and/or the football alumni are willing to settle for mediocrity or being Fargo's biatch, you haven't been paying attention to history. I give NDSU a lot of credit for what they've done the past 6-8 years. I wish UND's transition had gone as well. And if you would like to think UND will never catch up, that's fine with me. As I recall, you guys were feeling pretty good about yourself in 1992 also. How'd that work out for you?

I think her holding a beer is the only problem. Give her a glass of milk and call her the "Healthy Grandma". Bet her and the students would have fun with it.

Is there some stated logic on why the basketball scholarships aren't the same for men/women?

Thanks, Johnboy. I was wondering what your opinion of this would be. If he was Iowa's 1st choice, there would already be an offer. Either way, I'm sure you join me in wishing him nothing but the best.

Ira - would the girlfriend's father you're talking about be Paul M.?

I like the uniforms in general. Wish the colors matched better also. I suggest putting name on the back of the uniforms. Players would love it, recruits would love it, tv viewers would love it.

Dear Coach Hardee, Please submit a reasonable salary request to Mr. Faison so he can work on a long-term extension. Thanks. Sincerely, Fighting Sioux Fans

I think we can all agree to be fans of the Beaver.

So Mac Schneider sponsors the bill, and Carlson looks like more of a doofus.

I would imagine now there will be some fees to change the tickets also. I still don't quite understand the Open Meeting part. These are a collection of state officials that do not constitute any legal body. Why would open meeting laws apply?

The Sioux pride I know is also about honoring bravery and integrity. Everything since November has been about how to circumvent an agreement North Dakota voluntarily made that didn

The effective date of the NCAA agreement is August 15th. Isn't the ND bill effective August 1st? If so, discontinuing the name between August 1st and the 15th would not be prohibited.

Right or wrong, you have to live to fight another day.

Everyone seems to think that Carlson did this to further his political career. If I was in charge of the ND Dem party, I'd be on the phone today getting Mac Schneider to run against him for the U.S. House.

Dear Mr. Shaft, Please ask the SBoHE to direct UND to resume the retirement of the Fighting Sioux nickname tomorrow. The lawyers can figure out the rest later. Anything else screws up the Big Sky and/or a year of recruiting. Sincerely, Common Sense

I know it's just guys talking on the internet, but could we give Muss a chance before we start throwing out names? I haven't been thrilled with everything he's said or done, but he's been in a tough spot. Plus, until the Big Sky invite, there would have been absolutely no other quality coaches that would have been interested. Now he's got a great conference to sell and playoff eligibility coming up. As long as there are no major debacles and steady progress from this point on, I don't think Faison would even think about a change. By the middle of the 2012 season, I think his future will be pretty evident, one way or the other.

He was on the UND football team 79-82. Also went to law school. I believe he practiced law for a bit in Florida before returning home to Winnipeg.

Anyone know if Sanford ever actually made that big donation last fall? This morning might be a good time to get that check cashed....
