North Dakota is also mentioned in this weeks SI colume by Steve Ruskin. Someting about his dad being in Grand Forks watching Sioux hockey and asking why everyone was wearing Notre Dame sweatshirts.
Also, I remember that Sports Illustrated had an article on the Sioux football team back in the 70's. Featured a wide receiver with the last name Gustofson (can't remember his first name) who had the nickname "Magic".
