Lennon turn into Childress? We are in trouble! Does that mean we can expect 2 yard out passes on 3rd and 8. If Chappell was 100% healthy, he would only get 9 or 10 touches under the secret squirrel. Pound Battle at them 20-25 times and find a way to get Weston 15- 20 touches(runs and catches) and we will be fine.

Sweet Sioux Tomahawk: The trophy awarded to the winner of Illinois and Northwestern's annual football game originally was not a tomahawk, it was an actual wooden Indian named "Sweet Sioux." The original Sweet Sioux trophy was introduced in 1945 after the staff members of the two schools student newspapers came up with the idea for it. But in September, 1946, "Sweet Sioux" was stolen at a showcase at Northwestern. In 1947, a Tomahawk Trophy was brought in to replace the wooden Indian and has been used ever since. The original "Sweet Sioux" trophy was created in 1948, but was retired due to its size. Illinois last claimed the tomahawk when they beat the Wildcats 31-24 in Evanston on Nov. 23, 2002. Illinois currently holds a 31-26-2 edge over the Wildcats in games played for the Sweet Sioux Tomahawk.

The Reagan appearance at UND was fantastic. A couple guys on their advance team happened to be alum of the same fraternity as ours and stopped by the house. We went to the Republican office in grand Forks and made all the signs for the event and in turn we got hooked up with sweet passes for the event which put us as close to the stage as possible without paying the big bucks!!

I am about done with this as well. UND honored the great Sioux people of the past and did so with honor and respect. While there are many great Sioux people today, the leadership on the reservations does them a great disservice and are probably not worthy of being honored by UND at this point. It is the tribal leaders of today who choose to dishonor the Great Sioux warriors and leaders AND ELDERS of the past and that will be their legacy.(along with the many ongoing problems on the reservations today). However, before the towel is thrown in, I would like to see the enrolled tribal members and anyone else of Sioux descent on the reservations and around the state polled(this can be paid for by UND or alumni(I would contribute). This vote does not have to be binding, but at the very least the tribal leaders will then be exposed as not being in touch with the people that they are supposed to represent.(I think the vote would be upwards of 75% in favor or at the very least not thinking it is an issue). I do not favor abolishing any Native American programs at UND, but no more reverse discrimination should be allowed for slots in engineering, nursing, medical programs etc. All students will have to meet minimum requirements(GPA, ACT scores, etc.) to be able to attend UND and especially when competing against other students for desired posts, internships, etc., the positions will be awarded based on merits. And finally, I am not in favor of having some cheesy nickname naming contest or coming up with a name to replace The Fighting Sioux at this time, I would rather be known simply as THE University of North Dakota for now and if something comes up over the course of time that makes sense to UND, the area, and the people of North Dakota then address it at that time, lets not force the issue, remember we are dealing with replacing the greatest sports team name and logo in all of college sports, lets not be hasty.. I don't mind using the Force of the North as a marketing slogan and it actually sounds pretty good as in here comes The Force of the North, THE University of North Dakota!! Long live UND! Long live The Fighting Sioux!! On another note, even with the name gone, does anyone think they will be a Hockey or Football game 10 years from now and not hear LETS GO SIOUX, LETS GO SIOUX?

The Lot I park in is usually full or close to it. The Lot on the North side of the Ralph.

40!

Hopefully Radke keeps his head up, keeps working hard, earns back the coaches trust and I think he could challenge Miller and Maartens for a spot on occasion.

Maybe Eaves should look to see if the Badger can skate a regular shift. I mean he must be a tough guy to be able to perform the rest of the night with what sounds like must have been a broken leg or at the very least a deep bruise. That type of grit and determination is something that maybe the rest of the pansies from Wisconsin could feed off. Hell maybe they should slap the C on Bucky's chest.

Good thing the refs and linesmen where nearby when Eaves starting flapping his gums. This would have been a mismatch to end all mismatches Based on College stats The Combatants Eaves 68 pim in 160 games Osiecki 156 pim in 108 games Patrick 26 pim in 34 games vs. Hakstol 191 pim in 107 games Eades 228 pim in 144 games Jackson 249 pim in 150 games At least it would have been quick, but probably not painless.

Jeopardy style What player after getting his chicklets rattled by NMU's(and Grafton's and Bismarck's own) Chris Kleven said as refs were herding them to the box said "I'm gonna kill you Kleven, don't care where, could be a Park River street dance or wherever, I'm gonna kill you!"

I was joking(kind of) and taking a shot at the rodents. If we really want the best competition we should set our sites on getting games with Big 12 teams rather than the musty big 10.

Thats' good news? Wisconsin is better than Minnesota in damn near every sport we would play them in.

Not exactly? But if I had to venture a guess I would guess that Joel likes a cold Zima now and again.

None of the above. Drop the name if we must, but do not replace it......at least for awhile.

But they are wildly inconsistent as they have basketball games this month against the chippewas and seminoles and the fighting sioux swim team has a meet at the U of m in March. The biggest problem they have is that they have an athletic director who has no stones

The official new name will be The University of North Dakota Team formerly known as the Fighting Sioux. And just like this worked for the artist Prince, no one really cared and just went ahead and kept calling him Prince. But seriously, how did this get to the point where we went from having this lawsuit against the NCAA all but wrapped up to changing our name? Changing our name was never even a part of this? If anything they should have said it is a 8 year window because it really doesn't matter until then anyway? I don't think the alumni who contributed to this cause had this in mind? Someone needs to be held accountable. The worst case scenario was we lose the lawsuit(not likely, this go round anyway) and we can't host playoff games which wasn't going to matter for the next 5 years anyway? If this is Wayne's way of negotiating after spending a million dollars and having the case wrapped up, he might be the first republican I have voted against in quite some time. Pathetic.

True. The Gophers while being 1-7 have so far played a cup-cake schedule which makes their offensive statistics less impressive and their defensive numbers astonishing. they have earned the right to be called the worst defense in Division 1.

Difference between the Michigan/Appalaichan matchup and the Bison/Gopher matchup is that if the teams played 10 more times, Michigan would probably win all 10 as that game was a true upset in every sense of the word...if the Bison and Gophers played 10 more times, the Bison win at least 7, the upset would have been them losing to the Gophers. I was alot more impressed with their victory over Central Michigan who while not in the "Big Ten" is a better squad then this pathetic Gopher team.

No question who the better team was today. Bohl is a damn good coach and will end up in D1 sometime soon, but I don't think it will be at Nebraska(I'd elaborate, but last time I did I got moderated and scolded )

Rutgers plus 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!

Anyone know where?if Mike Prpich is playing this season?

They are absolute hypocrites. This is about the fact that it could kill their recruting in major sports, ie Football and men's and women's basketball. Otherwise why would this be allowed to happen again as it did last season. From UND website Sun, Mar 02 Last Chance Meet (M/W) at Minneapolis, Minn. From Minnesota website Sun, Mar 02 Gopher-It Invite University Aquatic Center 12:00 PM Seems that our swim teams are invited and swimming in the Gopher-IT invite???
