The name should stay. If ti were to change the only name that should even be considered is THE TRIBE

An e-mail I sent to the head of the athletics advisory committee at the University of Minnesota. I will let you know if he answers. I would have also sent this to Joel Maturi but it is quite obvious that he is a powerless figurehead. Mr. Hartman, Are you aware that your men's basketball team is scheduled to play both the Central Michigan CHIPPEWAS and the Florida State SEMINOLES in November? The last time I checked neither of these schools are in the Big Ten or have any conference affiliation with the University of Minnesota? I think it should fall on your shoulders to walk into coach Tubby Smith's office and let him know that in order to maintain some sense of integrity at the University of Minnesota and to avoid looking like a bunch of hypocrites that you will have to forfeit these games. Tough break, but policy is policy. I was also thinking about picking up some University of North Dakota FIGHTING SIOUX apparel this year, but was wondering if you could advise me as to what merchandise will be on sale this year at Mariucci arena as you had such a great selection to choose from last year! Sincerely, Mike Peterson

That is NOT what their policy says. The 2003 policy discourages Minnesota'sschool's athletics department from competing against all teams with American Indian mascots and nicknames. But the policy wasn't strictly enforced until last year, when Minnesota Athletic Director Joel Maturi asked the committee for more guidance and was advised to follow the policy more closely.

Just sent this to the U of M athletic department. So who is the lucky person who gets to tell Tubby that you are forfeiting 2 games to the Central Michigan CHIPPEWAS and the Florida State SEMINOLES? I mean you are of course forfeiting those game to maintain your integrity, correct? Are you also going to be selling University of North Dakota FIGHTING SIOUX merchandise at Mariucci arena again this year? Joel, go to the advisory committee, ask them for your "stones" and make the right decision. Anyone think that they are a little nervous about recruiting? Think about it. Their football team barely beat NDSU(a team UND beat up for the last 13 years like it was their job), their mens BB team has been pathetic for a few years, and their women's BB team is defintely on the downslide. Playing and losing to NDSU and UND cannot help recruiting efforts.

Tubby is going to be pissed. He is going to have a tough enough time trying to turn the gopher basketball program around and now they are forfeiting 2 games. Tough to get to 20 wins that way.

Just gonna leave Fargo! I am amped like a 4 year old on red bull the night before Christmas!

Well Gabe, I usually don't like to use comparative scores unless they help prove something in my favor so here goes. WWU 28 Davis 21, plus 10(3 for homefield since it was at Davis) + UND 63 WWU 42, plus 24(since UND was on the road) = UND plus 34 over Davis NDSU by 19(subtract 3 for homefield)=16 Looks like the Sioux are about plus 18 over the Herd!

I am looking for a couple tickets for the Michigan State game. My parents are going to be in Grand Forks and they would like to do the Football\Hockey combo.

Lets straighten out a couple things here. It was the former athletic director who tried to grab an undercover officers privates in a park in Omaha.

In the meantime, make sure all your livestock are locked up under lock and key and after the Bison fans leave you may want to have them checked for STD's.

He was also at the Sioux social at JT Cigarro in Fargo on Monday night.

I don't trash talk bison football. I think they have a nice little team in Fargo. Very peppy!

Great event at JT Cigarro tonight. Alot of Sioux fans there and a great atmosphere to have a couple beers and talk one on one with the Sioux coaches and ex-coach who were there! If you live in Fargo and didn't make it out, you missed out. I hope they have a couple more social events like this in Fargo this year.

Dream on That is laughable. Anyone who knows anything about football knows that if UND and the bison played last year or this year or next year the game would be a tossup. The edge that NDSU has is that UND probably couyld not have went 10-1 against the same schedule as NDSU played last season due to depth becoming a factor as the season goes on.

They are probably the best College team in North Carolina?

Yep. And OJ Simpson is an innocent man. Lighten up Francis.

Hope many Sioux fans in Fargo will attend this and also come to sioux boosters which is at the kelly Inn on the 2nd Monday of every months starting in october! FARGO SIOUX BOOSTER KICKOFF SOCIAL WHEN: MONDAY SEPT 10TH, START TIME 5PM PLACE: J.T. CIGARO, 855 45TH ST SW, FARGO ND WE HAVE THE SIDE ROOM AND OUTDOOR PATIO RESERVED. THERE WILL BE A CASH BAR AND CATERING FROM GRANITE CITY. UND STAFF AND COACHES IN ATTENDANCE. THERE WILL BE CALENDARS AND POSTERS AVAILABLE. OPEN TO ALL ALUMNI, FRIENDS AND FANS OF UND ATHLETICS. HOPE TO SEE EVERYONE THERE!!!!! *The first luncheon will be in Oct. There will be NO luncheon in Sept. The social will be the first event of the season.

It was a brutal, cheap, late hit. That is all that can be said, it cannot be defended in any manner. I was just as pissed at the puke Gwozdecky who sat the pukeovich a few shifts and then stuck him in when DU was going on a power play to see if someone was going to give him his ass-kicking then and put DU up 5 on 3. That was classless, but not surprising.

If you are not being sarcastic? I will suggest the following, heck everyone should read this book either way! http://www.bernsteinbooks.com/thecode.htm

anyone looking into putting together a package for the Bucky series? Sioux and Bucky Friday night Michigan at Bucky for FB on Saturday afternoon Sioux and Bucky Saturday night Drive up to lambeau for the Vikes game Sunday?

Tim is organizing and running it. TJ is playing in it. All I said is you need to be careful how an NCAA athletes name is used in events like thbis.

Kind of like Nik Lidstrom, Keith Ballard, Paul Martin and Jordan Leupold struggle.

Or 15 times in the AHL and 20 times that in the echl. Who is Ottawa's ECHL affiliate?

It probably is! If you are a chick.
