Let me spell this out for you, because you simply do not get it: The...world...does...not...revolve...around...NDSU...and...Fargo. All that success has gone straight to your heads. You actually think you can dictate terms to the Flagship of the North Dakota University System. You are in for a rude awakening son, along with Gene "The Toolbox" Taylor and the rest of the Ag College's minions.

So all you are going to do is post this same diatribe over and over again? Real creative, but I don't expect much from a graduate of ND Ag College.

Just keep running your mouth, Bison Boy. There is a new sheriff in town (Bubba) and things are going to get better from here on out. And that "potato warehouse" you speak of is a very tough place to play in when it is full of screaming, enthusiastic fans wearing UND colors. It was like that ten years ago and it will be that way again soon. That is the real reason Gene "Toolbox" Taylor doesn't want to play there. Thanks for playing, please try again.

This is why I don't care if we ever schedule those wanna-be cake eaters ever again. They think they should get whatever they want, whenever they want because they are NDSU and they are special! Fargo is not the center of the universe and NDSU is not a big-time, FBS-esque FB program. And as long as they continue behaving like that, I say screw them. Let's focus on rebuilding our program and winning the Big Sky Conference; everything else will take care of itself.

Probably still mourning the under-achieving Penguins and their early exit.

This is how I feel when people compare UND to Team Thug N Slug (Philadelphia Flyers). I would pick the Flyers over the Hab-nots, but not by much.

Wilkerson is a relic from the 1960's and 70's. This is long overdue.

The nickname opponents got what they wanted; now they are exploiting every opportunity to dance in the end-zone (and on our faces). And when they provoke a backlash (which is bound to happen if they keep pushing this), they'll scream and cry "racism", "bigotry" and whatever else they can come up with. Is anyone else as sick of this whole issue as I am?

The Washington Americans, and keep the logo as a nod to Native Americans as the original inhabitants of this continent?

The NFL will be forced to strong-arm Daniel Snyder into changing the team name for PR purposes. You might start seeing corporate sponsors pull their money out and use it elsewhere; that would be the final nail in the coffin. I'm not a huge fan of all this PC nonsense, but I don't think it can be stopped. And if Snyder doesn't like it, he can just sell the team to someone else. Based on the performance of the team during the Snyder regime, it might be a blessing in disguise.

Hey now Fetch, I am a good lefty and I have absolutely ZERO patience for the garbage we have been listening to for almost a week now.

My point is that I knew they were going to go there and with Kelley and his staff bending over backwards to please them, it is not out of the question. All I am saying is be vigilant. I am going to be watching very closely.

I don't want to say "I told you so", but.....

This is getting uglier and uglier.

Would putting Rush Limbaugh on SportsCenter make you happy?

What have I been telling all of you? The stage is being set. Remain vigilant.

This is so exciting for our athletic programs.

No MafiaMan, there will be hints and signals that will alert us before it happens. That is when we strike.

I seriously doubt that, but let's stick to the issue at hand. While I think it is extremely unlikely that Fighting Sioux gear will be banned from UND sanctioned events, it is important for us to remain vigilant and aware of the situation. If we sense that it is being considered, that is our cue to write letters or e-mails to Kelley, Faison and REA and inform them what will happen if they do that. Until then, let's just wait and see if something happens.

I agree with you. But Kelley and common sense are generally not used in the same sentence very often. I just think we should keep an eye on it.

I am convinced that there will now be a push to ban Fighting Sioux apparel at UND sanctioned sporting events. This is the perfect incident to exploit to try to make this happen and UND will want to do something to take the heat off. And I will tell everyone right now that I will not stop wearing my custom-made, authentic Fighting Sioux hockey jerseys (green, white and black). And if that means no longer attending UND-sanctioned sporting events, then so be it. Remain vigilant everybody.

Amen Sioux-cia, I am also more blue than red, but not on the topic of political correctness. I just heard on KFGO that some people want the students wearing the t-shirts expelled. Really? So doing typical college-aged stupid things should now be an expulsion-level offense? That is just going way too far. We retired the name and logo, but that just isn't good enough for them. If they start demanding that people be barred from wearing Fighting Sioux jerseys and other apparel to athletic events, that will be the last straw for me and a lot of other people on here. Btw, I thought retiring the name and logo was supposed to help prevent "insensitive" actions like this from happening. So much for that idea.

NFL Hall of Famer John Randle, undrafted free agent out of Division II Texas A&I (now Texas A&M-Kingsville) comes immediately to mind.

I guess I am not a fan of that happening under ANY President. The Executive branch has gotten steadily stronger since the beginning of the Cold War during the Truman Administration, when it is supposed to be a co-equal branch of government with the Legislative and Judicial branches. God only knows what the NSA, CIA and FBI all do without oversight or public knowledge. My real nightmare would have Dick "Darth Vader" Cheney in charge of the Federal Government. There is no telling how many wars we would get sucked into if he was Commander In Chief.

There is WAY too much emphasis put on metrics at the NFL Combine. QB is all about leadership, poise under pressure and intelligence (both FB and intellectual). JaMarcus Russell was picked #1 overall by Oakland because of his cannon arm. Where is he? Out of the league. And if Brett Favre, who spent his entire life in southern Louisiana (and went to college in Mississippi) can play in the "frozen tundra of Lambeau Field", not to mention road games at Chicago twice a year, anybody should be able to. Let's give Bridgewater a couple of years before throwing him under the bus.
