Actually I see both sides of this issue. But I think A guy like Dean would have a lot of the same views as the Name change crowd... An anything goes forum would be fun like USCHO cafe...

To the Moderator: The whole debate behind changing the name is a poltical agenda, so in esence the argument is purely political. Its about pro-name versus anti-name. A very small number of people on the left (left wing extremists, Hoff, Means, et el) are trying to get the majority of people the Pro-name crowd to change to the fighting Sioux name. You can't get anymore political than that. So in essence in what you were saying is you didn't like the message and decided to shoot the messenger... I think you pulled the plug a little prematurely, but hey what ever.

This just proves how bad the NSIC is. UND proves nothing by demolishing UMC, and why would someone want to pay good money to watch a sleeper like that, I chose to go Goose hunting instead. IF we are going to play an NSIC team lets at least play BSU or UMD. In fact UMC doesn't belong on the same field as UND. UMC couldn't beat most division III opponents... In looking at the scores from yesterdays games, Minnesota Morris, SW State, UMC, Moorhead State got killed in Non-Conference football games, Moorhead State lost to a mediocre Division IIII team. Division Two football is slowly becoming a very poor brand of Football, UND maybe should look to moving up to Division 1AA too.

One its hard to lure geese and ducks wearing Blaze orange. Second, I agree if you can dodge the bullets great weekend to hunt ducks

Whats that? The opening of Ducktober.

HEY Dagies, Do you guys hit the Funkley Bar when you go deer hunting? I hear it can get wild up there During the deer season.

I am not sure that I would give this site a lot of credence. Its more of a editorial type web page, I mean look at their rankings from last season there were a joke.

I suppose it has a bigger sweet spot.

There is one down side to that statement. It also means that summer is coming to an end and we will be trading in golf clubs for snow shovels...

True Fighting Sioux fans do not cheer for the Gophers under any circumstances. Thought of that makes my skin crawl, and its like cheering for the Green Bay Packers...

You bring up some really good points. Think of it this way. If Clinton was a centrist Democrat, how scarey would Howard Dean be as president, Dean makes Johnny Hoff look sensible (no wait a minute), Dean scares me even more than Hillary and Goron, and I am sure we all remember Clinton's shenanigans, the guy was a pathalogical lier and he couldn't keep his zipper up, and he tax the living crap out of us... By definition I believe that Howard Dean is a socialist, and he has made it no secrete that he would tax the crap out of the country. Howard Dean reeks of class warfare, he is a divider. I am affraid that none of us would be able to own a gun (pretty hard to go hunting in Ducktober without a gun). Better yet you would have to pile your dog and decoys into your Yugo to get to the field. Nice thing is there are too many checks and balances to let that happen.

I think I know what he is talking about but he has the wrong schools. I think the guy is refering to Warroad and there were a couple of their players that came from Thief River Falls. Ala Wyette (sp) Smith.

What the heck happened there anyone have any details. Wow, this is a shocker...

Thats just it. There are very few that are actually for changing the name. But we have a few hand wringing/half witt professors from the Social Sciences that have nothing better to do, trying to convience the rest of the school they are wrong in supporting the Fighting Sioux name. Then you end up with loose cannons like Johnny Hoff and a few others fueling the flames of discontent. The Herald thinks this is news but its nothing more than a small minority. Notice no one is listening to these people lately, the name is going no where...

Its a lot to do about nothing. Talk is cheap but the reality is the name is going no where. I don't care what the pro-name change crowd says. I don't see UND changing the name, any time soon when there are still schools FSU, Utah State, Illinois with the Indian names...

Hrykac probably hands down the fan's favorite, but I could also make a strong case for Blake and Jeff Panzer. As far as Goaltending. Karl G seems like a legit choice...

Maybe Blaiser is working on him and trying to talk him into staying... Oh well I was kind of hoping he would be here this season. Sounds like the real deal.

I thought he wasn't coming to UND until next year? Seems that it wouldn't make sense if he isn't coming until next season.

The guy has made a mistake, oppolgized for this mistake, give it a rest and take a step down off your high horse...

For Jeff Panzer it probably was. Hands down except maybe for Blake, Jeff Panzer was one of the most exciting Sioux hockey playes I have ever seen put on the Green and White (I wasn't here when the Hrkus Circus was in town). However, maybe Zack surpasses Him some day...

Actually I think the stick was a little lower than the ribs...

First off I will go on record and throw my hat of in the ring for support of/for schmidtdoggydog. First off I know him personally and schmidtdoggydog is a quality guy and a great human being. This guys isn't some dirt bag off the street but a professional. I suggest cutting this guy some slack. I would have responded sooner but I had that stupid worm in my lap top...

I agree I could give a F#(K how the Gophers are going to do this season and to hope they suck really bad this season. Couldn't agree more....

I would have to say shooting a pair of Mallards and a goose on a warm October afternoon in North Dakota, Duch Hunting At its best... Sleeping in the duck blind on a hot fall day, because the sun is shining and the ducks are not flying... Shooting my deer, I don't care if it has horns or not. Drinking a six pack of beer and playing golf, who really cares what the score is. Getting drunk and watching the Sioux send a bunch of cocky gopher fans back to the twin cities after they have been swept by the Mighty Sioux, it will happen this year. Hitting a good golf shot and acting like you have done it before... Remember 7>5, hey I don't care what they (Gopher Fans) say but they can't take it away from us...

Dude that is so true. Win with class and lose with class.
