If you want an example of people movig on, go to a UND sporting event. You are seeing less and less Sioux gear. What percentage of the crowd yells "Sioux" at the end of the anthem? My point is there are people that realize that UND will never be the Fighting Sioux anymore and have moved on. Yes, I am the first one to say how dissapointed I am that UND will no longer be known as the Fighing Sioux. But there are people like you that want to hold on to something that needs to be let go. Not comparing losing the name to a death in the family, but there is a process that is similar. Sure we all want the name to still be around. Its sucks given the circumstances of how we lost it. But you need to face the fact that UND will be selecting a new name and logo. Merchandise will be sold with the new name/logo on it. People at games will be wearing new jerseys and chamting a new name. You can still remember and hang on to all your Fighting Sioux apparel. Heck, even wear it to games. But the majority of the crowd will be supporting the University and they will be doing so by wearing new apparel with the new name and logo and chanting the new name when cheering on the teams.

I am sure this has been stated on the thread (but I don't really want to scroll back 67 pages) but what is Jones current contract through? I know he got an extendion but for how many years?

Sorry to dumb this down, but the money was to be used for academic scholorships. NDSU and others used it for athletic scholorships. So not sure how anyone can defend NDSU and others with their actions here.

YOu will lose your money if you think that is true. Sure Kelley has to officially sign off on the new name. But he will jnot act alone and just pick a name. Not gonna happen.

It's a sign.....University of North Dakota Flames!!

I stand corrected. This may be the dumbest thing I have heard!! Are you implying that his injury was based on the shoes he was wearing? Come on!!! I get it that shoes give you different type of support, but for him to imply that a certain type of shoe had a direct impact on his injuries is a pretty lazy excuse.

Probably one of the dumbest things I have heard in a long time. Does De Rouen have any personal examples of how he has been injured in Adidas shoes? Or is there any studies out there that show adidas shoes cause more injuires than Nike or any other brand? The guy should learn how to not turn the ball over and comit so many dumb fouls instead of worrinying about the shoes he wears!!

How bout the 1972 Summit Series games against the Canadians where JP Parise threatened to wack the ref with his stick!! I had heard about it but never saw the actual clip!! Wow!!

Ferris State looking for a game??!!

As long as NBC has a deal with Notre Dame, the NCHC has no interest in adding them. Simple as that.

Wait, so was Jones successfull because he finished in the top 3 of the Big Sky his first 2 years and made post season tournaments the last 4 years, or did his teams struggle because of the nickname issue?!

Puting a #4 seed in a regional 10 miles away from their home rink is more unfair IMO than having the #1 seed host that has earned home ice with their play the entire season.

NCAA always loos at the money. It is kind of unfortunate that Notre Dame is out of the playoff picture. The two host schools (one playing at their hiome arena and the other 70 miles away) would both be sold out and the other two would be half full. If the NCAA cares about money like I think they do, they will switch back to host schools.

Do we reaaly want our mascot to be an old wooden ship?!!

The last time UND men's basketball won a regular season conference title was 1995. Yep, that is 20 years ago. Glas did take a couple teams to the playoffs in the early 200's with Beasley and company. But men's basketball really has not been relevant since the early 90's. So comparing Jones 9 years to the previous 9 years are more than likely going to give you similar numbers. Not looking at the numbers, but I would probably saw Glas had a better record. Of course that is kind of irrelevant based on the competition both teams played.

He has had more than his fair share of coaching mistakes. These decision are costing the team wins, and in the end, could cost him his job!

You absolutely have to foul them there so they don't even get an attempt to tie it. Horrible, awful, inexcusable coaching on that play.

Wow, just saw the latest Bracketology on uscho.com East Regional (Providence): 15 Quinnipiac vs. 3 Boston University 10 Providence vs. 6 Bowling Green Northeast Regional (Manchester): 13 Massachusetts-Lowell vs. 4 Omaha 11 Harvard vs. 5 Minnesota-Duluth Midwest Regional (South Bend): 16 Robert Morris vs. 1 Minnesota State 12 Boston College vs. 8 Miami West Regional (Fargo): 14 Michigan vs. 2 North Dakota 9 Denver vs. 7 Michigan Tech I'd say if things stay like that, we deffinitely got one of the unluckiest draws in recent NCAA plaoff history!! #2 getting the B1G Champs in the first round!! I deffinitely do not like that draw at all!!

I guess I wouldn't be surprised eather way. The kid deffinitely has some talent. Gonna be exciting seeing him develop and our run game start to dominate the Big Sky!

If Grady proves to be as good as advertised in Fall Camp, Bubba's got to pull his redshirt, doesn't he? Kid has way to much talent and we need O lineman that can establish our run game.

Return of the Hoggies!!

Go with a hybrid of both.....Aerows!

And Brock Jensen only had 1 offer from NDSU and he wasn't even their number 1 QB in that recruiting class. I'd say that worked out well for NDSU. NDSU has had the same type of philosopy to some extent in the past. I hope you can "figure out" how to get out of that box I just put you in!! Hiyo!!

Didn't you hear? The majority of kids signing at NDSU all had FBS offers from big time programs. But they decided to go play FCS because playing at schools like Oregon and Wisconsin were just no as appealing!!

Oh what could have been. (Sorry Seahawk fans!!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=My6v8Oe2TkY
