39-33 UTPA with 14:43 to play. Making a nice little come back after being down 16.
-
UND running off a few points, lead is down to 10 with 16:30 to go.
-
No real big surprise but expect to see Dell in net tonight and UND playing shorthanded as Dickin won't be in the line-up (per Hakstol at the Booster luncheon today).
-
While it is a UND announcer, sounds like there's a handful of calls that have not went UND's way during the UTPA run.
37-23 at the half, no baskets for UND in the last 8+ minutes. Gave up 20 in a row to end the half.
-
16 in a row for UTPA, down by 10 with about 2:30 to go in the half.
-
8-0 run by UTPA puts them up by 2 with 4 minutes left in the half.
-
Free audio on Fightingsioux.com (UNDSports.com) for those of you needing something to listen to in order to get through a Friday afternoon. Sounds like Huff is having a great all-around game. Few big 3's by the other guards as well.

Besides, if you are going to get huffy about inaccurate statements, why ignore the biggest fib out there (i.e. "If you want to own the farm, go to UND. If you want to work for a farmer, go to NDSU?")
Shouldn't that be "If you are ashamed of agriculture and mock everybody associated with it at every opportunity, go to UND. If you are serious about the industry, go to NDSU?" <== That's a heckuva a lot more accurate.
Can't say I've ever met someone related to UND that has got "huffy" about that statement, it seems to be the one that bothers NDSU folks. Not sure why someone related to UND would be upset about it?
-
There are many like him that think that way. They don't give a crap about the University only the name on the front of the jersey. Dave has already said that he didn't go to school here and only care about UND football and UND hockey.
You forgot the part where he would rather have the teams (and athletic department) disappear than change the nickname.
-
I bit my tounge when this first came out because the anti-nickname zealots here are never going to believe me, but now I must reveal some information. Our hockey coach was FORCED to say what he said. It was a matter of make the statement that he made or lose his job. I have contacts with inside information. Someday down the road if and when he leaves for another job I expect that he will reveal what all went down behind closed doors. The statements that he and Mussman made were mandated. That is a fact.
He was forced to say it and still came up with very reasonable and logical reasons of why it made sense to move on? Pretty convenient for him.

We are Fighting Sioux Fans - Always have been always will be - the sooner the ncaa & other outside interests get out of our way the sooner we will continue to honor the name & follow the Lame agreement our SBOHE & AG & UND ADMIN. got us into
False.

The nickname is not secondary. You are dead wrong on that point, end of conversation.
False. It is. UND won titles with no nickname. They won titles as the Flickertails. The won titles as the Fighting Sioux. They will continue to win titles with no nickname or whatever nickname comes next. They all count the same. They were all won by the University of North Dakota.
Also, does a team cease to exist if their logo changes or is it only their nickname? Or does it have to be both? I'm just curious because your web of (il)logical thoughts intrigue me.

You say that like playing in Fargo would be a bad thing.
I would love to see the men's team play a game in Fargo. I live in Fargo, as do a lot of other Sioux fans. It would be like back in the day when the Green Bay Packers used to play some of their home games at Milwaukee. When a team has such great support throughout the entire state, why not play home games in two different cities?
Loss of revenue is a good starting point. Less seats to sell plus rental for the facility. Maybe some day the exhibition game would be held elsewhere, but there isn't a venue with even close to enough seating to make it worthwhile.
-
I have not watched a Raider game since they acquired Randy Moss prior to the 2005 season. They lost me as a fan when they made that trade.
But they were still the Raiders. I thought the name was all that mattered, not the players or the location?
-
Exactly, which is why I'm willing to take any and all risks to keep the athletic dept. intact with the name and logo. An athletic dept. without the name and logo would be tainted, so if the name and logo have to go then so should the entire athletic dept. Basically I'm saying we should either do it on our own terms or else not do it at all. I'm not a fan of giving into the unreasonable demands of a tyrant.
Unreasonable demands? Like shutting down the whole athletics department if you don't get your way? Pot, have you met kettle? You logic has so many holes in it and it is continuously pointed out to you, yet you continue on with it. I'm have no problem with people having their own opinions, but it is tough to take someone serious when their logic is so flawed.
-
Pretty sure this is your answer. You won't get a concrete answer because then there is a benchmark for being proven wrong. As long as they can keep moving the goalposts back, there will always be the "we haven't lost enough, the fight is still worth it" crowd. Doesn't help that there are those that say it is worth losing the athletic department over, though at least they have made it clear where they stand.
-
Then why are all you guys begging for a game? UND had their chance. I never said it was in the article but do you really think Duluth likes that kind of publicity. Schedule UND and this might happen. Never a good situation for a school to be in.
Did you read the article? The had the same situation in 2009 against Mankato. Seems that it doesn't matter the opponent, but whatever fits your narrative I guess.
-
The sad reality is that you won't win with those that don't care about the University or the sanctions/ramifications that the athletic department have and will continue to face. It will be a continuously moving target as we have seen already. First it was "other schools are bluffing, nothing will happen". Since that statement has been proven false (Iowa WBB, Iowa track, MN and WI hockey, etc), it has changed to "those aren't that big of deal" or "it is only a few schools". As it becomes more and more prevalent, the target on "what is worth it" to those that don't care will continue to move until it is too late, because that is the thing, they don't care what the ramifications are as as they can keep a nickname/moniker.

Is this a bit? IALTO
I was just thinking that its unfortunate that this guy is serious. Otherwise this would have been one of the more epic troll jobs I've seen in a long time. I am convinced that there is some relation to JohnboyND7, brothers or cousins perhaps?
-
fine with me. A game is a game. LCCC would be happy to play a university.
I hope you are joking. If not, you have a lot of reading and understanding to do. I would prefer the University of North Dakota be associated with other Universities like Montana, Montana State, Cal-Poly, UC-Davis, Minnesota, Wisconsin, etc. A game is not a game. Playoff guidelines for sports are very clear about that.

Did any of you sign the petition?
None of you must know Mrs. Patti Patry do you? To bad she taught me to do what ou could no matter how little people agreed or liked what you were doing. She was a special ed. teacher at Twinning if any of you know Teachers from the base.
No.
And yes, know her quite well (personally, not professionally). What's your point?
You are kind of all over the map. Very few here are happy about changing the nickname. But, at this point it is what is best for the University. And that is unfortunate that you don't want anything to do with talking about a new nickname, but most of us are concerned and know that the choosing of a new nickname can't be put in the wrong people's hands.
-
I think he still wants to keep the name & will never lose his love & respect & pride in it
Most people feel this way. And like Hakstol, Faison, Kelley, O'Keefe, etc, most people also realize that keeping is not worth the known and potential costs to the student-athletes, athletic department and University of North Dakota.

It is a possibility. There have been plenty of times in the rivalry when the better team lost. I wouldn't use that as a reason for not scheduling them. I'd use the "you stopped the rivalry. not us." excuse.
What you should say is "you stopped the rivalry before we did" excuse. If UND wouldn't have dropped the rivalry when they did, NDSU would dropped it a few years later once NDSU was in a conference and didn't have have as many games to schedule. They weren't going to keep playing UND when it didn't help them out. UND would not still be on NDSU's schedule if UND wouldn't have dropped the game (which at the time, was to UND's benefit to do because of how the playoff selections worked).

It doesn't make NDSU anymore money than a different home game does. In fact, playing it annually would lose NDSU a pretty penny of money. Losing a home game every other year....yuck.
Someday NDSU will figure out dynamic pricing for single game tickets. It won't replace all the lost income, but it would make up for a chunk of it.
