Also DU changed the year they wanted him to come to school and pushed it back a year. I think the main reason he chose DU over UND in the first place was to play a year earlier....when that changed so did his decision.

Correct. Pomeroy should not only have voted against this farce, he should have done everything within his power to stop it...and the same goes for Dorgan and Conrad who are supposed to be powerful members of the Senate. A vote in favor of this travesty on America would not only be a good reason to vote them out in the next election but in my opinion would be a good enough reason to actually recall them from DC.

Except I couldn't tell you what name marquestte is going by right now. When I think Marquestte I still think Warriors and it's been over 10 years.

I will always support UND athletics, but I will never buy any merchandise that has a logo or name other than the Sioux on it. I would buy items that say UND on them or University of North Dakota but can promise you I will never buy anything with a name or logo different than The Fighting Sioux. And I am pretty sure I am not alone in this. I don't think you will stop hearing "lets go Sioux" in our sports arenas for a long, long time.

We tried that. We let the People on the reservations vote and they came up with The Fighting Sioux.

I won't. I will buy stuff with UND on it, but will never buy anything with a different name and/or logo on it.

Back on topic. Congrats to the NDSU fastpitch squad and to my former softball teammate and current head coach Darren Mueller!

Spehar?

Has it been announced who else is playing in the Notre Dame Holiday tournament?

Hrkac with a goal and an assist so far tonight as Houston leads Chris Porter's Peoria squad 2-1 in the 2nd.

Correct! If 40 years of whining hasn't been enough to change people's minds, whats another couple months going to do?

After the Isles were eliminated, they brought down a couple of their younger players like Okposo.

Sorry. Sarcasm intended! I was giving my gopher buddies crap about this saying he must be from Minnesota since they don't recruit outside their state.

I think you are confused Goon. The kid is from Finlander, MN, it is a small town up by Eveleth.

Kozek has his first professional goal tonight for the Chicago Wolves in the AHL.

I think Tony Hrkac in his prime in today's NHL would have made him a very very rich man.

Every Day I Need Attention

I was more impressed with the fact that the state of Washington is now part of Canada.

Had a conversation with a gopher fan on Friday night in the tent across fromm the X. Found out that TJ Oshie is Canadian because he is from Spokane(pronounced Spoke Cane), Washington, Canada and that Lamoreaux has to be Canadian(it didn't occur to him that the Lamoreaux's that play for the Gopher women were his sisters). Told him I wouldn't care if our entire team was Canadian as long as they continued to kick the gopher's a$$ year in and year out. He also told me he was happy UMD beat us because they also only have all Minnesota kids.

C33 row 1

It would have been an interesting matchup as Rico could guard anyone and NDSU doesn't really have the type of player that Vonesh struggled against(Think Virginia Union..if I recall they had 4 or 5 guys who were athletic and active all over the court and quick to double the post and help out). As much as I hate to say it, this NDSU team would have been a real tough matchupup for the 1991 Sioux. UND didn't have the outside shooters needed, if you could of held Boschee back a year and had Todd Johnson on this team then it could have been a different story.

The autobids and the chip and a chair shot of the underdogs is what makes the NCAA tourney so great to watch especially when you take into account that there are no less than 20 teams and argueably as many as 25 or 26 teams in college basketball playing tonight and tomorrow night that are better than 15 teams in the "Dance"

In the Summit on the women's side I would say 1 out of 2 or 3 shot to win it is more accurate!

You are correct. The Gophers and 2 or 3 other Big Ten teams that will find themselves in the Big Dance, should be in the little dance(NIT)
