That's not true. I sit right there and when Trupp was getting mugged I saw Campion clearly take his whistle out of his mouth and hollar at the gopher player to knock it off...3 times.

Speaking of numbers, how about the App. State qb's numbers yesterday? 31 rushes 313 yards 4 td 14-16 passing for 182 yards and 3 td Not bad. And no, there were not 4 overtimes in this game.

Anyone who thinks this series will be lopsided is fooling themselves. It wasn't that long ago that UND went to mariucci arena a decided underdog given only a slim chance of not embarrssing themselves and no chance of winning, according to most gopher fans and even a few Sioux fans. Hopefully the Sioux can continue their strong home play on Friday nights and put themselves in position to right the ship and get a sweep on Saturday night.

Sioux Yeah Yeah!

My feed is awesome, once I got it.

Next Friday night, it's on. Bubble Hockey at the Ralph! Dean Blais vs. Doug Woog Who do you like? corrected. Had a few Vodka Red Bulls

wow!! JPL!!

i got nothing on video???:lol:?

The funny thing is that if they were in an actual fight, the referee would have stepped in many rounds ago. No, I don't think we want our School named after our congressional delegation, I don't think The Fighting Whistledicks would be a very popular name.

I was thinking we should just go ahead and dump the logo and let them deal with the consequences that come with that decision whatever they may be. But now I think that as long as we have 3 years that we should go ahead and take our time. The anti-name people have already presented their case and they certainly are not going to add anything new to the equation. Lets present ideas and opportunities, make them clear to the people on the reservations and most importantly....lets wait out an election cycle. The average person of Sioux heritage probably does not give 2 rips about the name one way or the other, but I have to think that having people representing me in office who do not care what I or the poeple who put them there think could make for an interesting election at Standing Rock.

Upstaged by the opening act. Saw Bon Jovi open up for Ratt at the Hyslop!!

Compare his well thought out articulate letter and thoughts vs. Ron His horse is thunder just saying on tv that it wasn't long ago that calling an African American the N word was politically correct? Really? Pretty sure that has been a derogatory term for 2 or 3 centuries or more and more importantly has absolutely nothing to do with the Sioux name. I just find it so insincere of the council members with their own political and personal agendas to ignore the thoughts and beliefs of a majority of Native Americans that they supposedly represent when they say that they can't be bought. It seems that they have already been bought and paid for.

I saw Quiet Riot open up for Loverboy at the ND state fair in about 85? Quiet Riot had a short set as they were booed off the stage in about their 3rd song. Without a doubt the worst live band I have ever seen and I am counting every bar band I have seen over the years. they were absolutely horrible.

Been to a couple games with my brother Florida Sioux in Ft. Myers and the ice seemed fine. They do keep it pretty cool in the arena. It is colder in the arena than the Ralph is.

A few NCC and UND ties. http://www.cfl.ca/media-centre/index.php?playclip=379

The odds are the same as they would have been if they had beat the bunnies. Zero. When was the last time that NDSU's football season lasted longer than UND's?

The problem is when you quote Nick Coleman as a credible source, you lose all credibility yourself. I have no questions for Nick Coleman, Next witness!

The greatest video on MTV of all time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ap0p7mhu4w0 Their record label demanded that they do a video, so they did one! These guys were the epitomy of rock and roll. Saw them a few times live! Once at the Old Regency Inn in EGF! Drunken chaos and rumor has it they left a hotel room or 2 in shambles!

Wow. My least favorite band of all time

Not sure? They look more like Chachi's to me?

Where does the Chippewa tribe and the Turtle Mountain reservation come down on the issue? Change our name to The Chippewas, Indians, or Tribe...alter the logo a little bit and...? Just throwin it our there, it'll never happen.

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?
