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

Tom's a Ford guy anyway!!

So basically they are using their warning every game when the score a goal. In the odd chance that a UNO fan throws their beer cup on the ice for a bad call, I would assume it would result in a penalty. I wonder if that has ever happened there before. Seems dumb to use up your warning in case a dumb fan overacts later.

Get a wristband a go get a beer at the intermissions!!

Wondering how UNO can get away with this every game. I assume that the refs give UNO an automatic warning for delay of game when fans throw items on the ice. Or maybe its not a delay since they have that handy little mini zamboni to clean up the carcas! If they do in fact get a warning, wouldn't the next item thrown on the ice be a delay of game penalty and result in a PP for the opposing team? I know that teams have notified officials when they are doing charitable stuff like the teddy bear toss. But does Blais have to go to the officials every nigh and explain that a fan in going to be throwing a big dead fish on the ice? I am all about traditions and doing thigs at games that are unique to each school, but this one is pretty dumb and could affect the outcome of a game possibly!

So I noticed that you conveniently failed to mention the latest release of information that siouxkid12 brought up that 1 of the deflated balls was measured at 2 PSI below standards and the other 10 were a fraction of a pound. Obviously there are conflicting reports of exactly what the PSI measurement on the balls were. We will soon find out. But if the balls were only .05 PSI less that the standard, please tell me how that gives a team an advantage?!

Last time I checked, UND campus was not located in North Korea. So I am pretty sure you will be ok wearing your Sioux clothing on campus.

Oudoor Bonspiel at the Gate, that's where I will be tonight. I am sure they will have the game on there!!

Maybe seeking the council of a of a grammar expert might do you some good If schools like Stanford, St. Johns, Marquette, etc have not made an attempt to change back even before it wasn't an NCAA policy, why would you ever think that UND would now that there is a policy against natice american nicknames. Wait.. were you the one I saw the other day wearing a maroon "Redskins Forever" shirt?!!

Ok you are right. Statistically there is never a zero percent chance of anything to happen. Ok, let me fix my prediction......there is a .00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 percent chance that UND will be the Fighting Sioux again. There, that better?

Dude, you been living under a rock the lst 10 years? YOu need to meet a good friend of mine. His name is Reality!! The name ain't coming back. Time to move on. The only way that there is even a chance for UND to be known as the Fighting Sioux ever again is if the NCAA changes its policy on native american names for college nicknames. There is deffiitely a ZERO percent chance that will happen. So that is why us here in the real worl realize that the name is not coming back.

B1G winner will most likely get sent to South Bend. For attendance reasons. Unless somehow Michigan and Minnesota both make it, then they might send the Goofs to Fargo.

Some conference tournaments for other conferences have the winner of the regular season title host the following year. Sure there is a possibility that the host school may not make it the following year, but at least it is at a host schools site and there would be a year to figure things out logistically. Might be an option I guess.

So I was saw that Midco is picking p the feed for Saturdays game at UNO on Saturday. Which got me thinking. Why can't they pick up every away feed if that is possible? And then it aslo got me thinking why Dan and Kobber can't haul the Midco truck to all UND hockey away games? Mazako and Woog did it all the time for Gopher games back in the day. I hope Midco can sign up a bunch of subscribers in Fargo and grow their revenue stream so they can make this happen. Just a pipe dream I guess, but hey, snythings possible!

Of course all of us UND fans were dissapointed when the Fighting Sioux name was retired. But we must remember what cost it would have been to the University and the Athletic Department and its teams had we kept the name. Big Sky President Fullerton said that they had concerens with UND having the Fighting Sioux name. Said it would affect our membership into the conference. Also, there is no gaurantee that the NCAA wouldn't come down harder in the future and ban all native american names no matter if you had tribal approval or not! Now sure if we were still the Fighting Sioux today, many people would be happy. But at what cost would it have been to the school and the teams. Imagine playing the the Great West for basketball and football. And who knows where for other sports. It would have been a disaster. So while there was probably more that could have been done in the past in regards to our relationship with the 2 tribes in the state, but the contreversy would have been a black could hanging over the University and its athletic teams. Yes is sucked seing the name go, but I think that if you step back and look at it now that we are a couple years removed, I hope most see that it was the right decision.

Again, the students are not employees of the University. They aren't buying stock in the program so when the school succeeds financially, they do as well. They are given a free education. More than enough compensation considering how much college tuition is these days. I get your point that the student atheletes are the ones playing on the teams that generate this revenue, but that is my point. The team is generating the revenue, not the player. Buckeye Stadium will sellout next year and many years down the road regardless of the players they have playing for them. The school makes money off the team, so they should be obligated to compensate the team for revenue produced. Not individual players.

So what is interesting in this whole debate is where was this argument 10 years ago or the many years before that? Only when Universities started signing these monster TV deals and making boatloads of money from displaying their college athletic teams did students atheletes feel they needed a cut. Where were the complaints years ago from student athelets who were struggling financially to pay for ":other costs" at school? These students are not employees of the University. They don;t have stock in the University. They are now owed anymore money simply because the University is brining in more money due to athletics.

I agree being a student athelete is a 365 day comitment. But it is not a 24/7 365 all the time. Atheletes don't work out all day every day. I am no strength conditioning expert by any means, but I am pretty sure that is not good for your body. My point is that these kids have plenty of time to earn extra money if they want as opposed to be given money just because they feel like they earn it. Welcome to life as a college student. You don;t have a lot of money. But when you are out of college than hopefully you will. No reason that schools need to paying these guys extra money so they can get their Beats by Dre headphones because they don't want to get a job to be able to buy it themselves.

2 a days all summer long? Who does that. Sure there is off season workouts, film studies, etc. But you are telling me that they don't have time to have a summer job? Please.

What about the kid who is working 2 jobs while trying to pay for his school, books, room and board, etc and down the hall the starting running back for the football team doen't have to pay for any of those because it is covered under scholorship. I get it that football demands are high and these kids don't have time for a part time job as well as going to class. But they are getting their education paid. And its not like the season lasts all year. Can't these kids get jobs in the summer like every other college kid does? So their scholorships might not cover books other stuff. Get a job in the summer to cover the couple hundred bucks you need to have for that.
