I couldnt agree more. Hockey is a fairly popular sport in ND compared to other states, but problem is that it's tough for hockey to compete with basketball in ND especially out west. I know Bismarck is building a new school and i have read in the Tribune that they are not sure if they will have enough players to support a third highschool team. Would be nice to see Watford start a highschool program and others around the state with the population growth. Hopefully hockey continues to trend up in ND but its expensive to start a program and takes years to build a quality one and almost impossible to keep up with GF.

Down in Minneapolis this weekend for the football game tomorrow. Anyone know of a place that would possibly show the sioux game tonight?

108 row 4

Yeah this is pretty much going to be the greatest sporting event ever!

Counting down the days! Sec.122 Row 5, friends and family going also.

65-28 is already more than 2/3 of the house of reps, and if most of the votes go along party lines in the senate like it did in the house, then it will be 2/3 also. I dont know if the gov. vetos the bill if it has to go back and be revoted on though. Here is a link on how a bill becomes law in ND for anyone who is interested. http://www.legis.nd.gov/docs/pdf/bill-law.pdf

I counted 13 reps that voted yes that attended UND. One, Stacy Dahl, who represents the GF District and also attended UND. Im sure they are all out to help NDSU also.

I was at the debate today. Couldnt be happier with the outcome. Here is a link to the senators. http://www.legis.nd.gov/docs/pdf/senateroster.pdf

So can you explain why it would not become illegal? Whats the difference between this law and any other law they pass that is legal now and after it is passed is illegal? Im not a great law mind so thats why im asking you these questions. I have read siouxboosters33 posts and they seem to be backed up with reasons and facts as to why the new law would make the settlement illegal. Im not saying anybody is wrong or right here. Everybody also keeps saying the NCAA is gonna impose sanctions, UND is not going to get in to the big sky, other schools are going to go along with wisconsin and minnesota and not play UND, it goes on and on. Some of these things likely could happen but nobody knows for sure. Like you said you dont know how its going to end. Its all speculation at this point. Im very interested to see what happens. I hope the Legislature passes this and the nickname prevails without hurting UND. I have some doubts as well and i think there is a long way to go, but i do support the legislatures effort.

I like the poll at the bottom also. Should North Dakota continue to fight to save the Fighting Sioux nickname and logo? Thank you for participating in our poll. Here are the results so far: YES - Listen to the people. 80% NO - It's time to put this to rest 18% Not Sure 2%

I called and asked about mine. They said february.

Im glad the legislature is taking a stand on this. Yes it should have been done sooner but at least somebody is sticking up for what the majority of the people want. Better late than never. It sad that everyone is rolling over now and taking it in the you know what. If you believe that UND should keep the name then you should stand behind those that are trying to do so. Those that wanted the name gone never gave up until they got what they want. Now we should just let them have there way? Screw that! Maybe there is no chance or a small chance this goes anywhere but people still need to push this issue if thats what they believe in. I will never concede to these politically correct morons. In my opinion the majority of people in this state want to keep the nickname regardless of race. I think the members on the SBOHE gave in and let the minority win.

Looking for 4 tickets to Friday and Saturday games for the Nebraska-Omaha series. Lower Level preferably for a decent price.
