UNDBIZ

Nothing happens to the Ralph at this time. Ralph Engelstad is gone so we don't know his opinion on the current state of affairs, but he did threaten to halt construction of the arena back when it was being built (around 12 years ago IIRC). UND will continue to use the Ralph, as I'm sure he would've wanted them to given the present circumstances (NCAA changed the rules after his passing). The logo at center ice and other non-permanent logos were changed for this year. However, the logos in the floors, all over the outside of the building, and on the seats, walls, etc. will still be there. I believe there is a retirement schedule for certain, less costly to remove logos, but I don't see the logos in the granite/marble/whatever floors going away any time soon. Also, I believe UND is allowed to keep using the Fighting Sioux WHCA and NCAA championship banners due to historical significance. The main category of people offended by the moniker were caucasian, liberal arts faculty members. One really can't expect them to think rationally in these sorts of situations.

Would the plates be allowed to have a Sioux logo?? If not, maybe that's why there aren't any yet. Oops, now I see that was already mentioned earlier......

It's too full of crazies/idiots for someone as sensible/smart as the lowly Jheria.........

Were they cited for a loud party violation?? No? Okay then.

But only because the MWC is so terrible this year...... at least according to our sisters to the south If only the BSC had some wins over Colorado St this year..... cuz they're legit contenders

How's he supposed to know which hotel to book if he doesn't know which is closest to the good bars??

Usually they wait until finals week.....

Thank God UND's Graduate School isn't built on using non-American students...... *This isn't actually my view, just showing how stupid johnboy is.

I simply said they were all solid (good/talented), wasn't putting them in an order. Tech beat Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Michigan St that year..... not too shabby. Edit: looking back at Fresno last year, we probably should have won that game.

Texas Tech, Northern Illinois, and Fresno were all solid teams and UND played pretty well against 2 of them (you could even say UND played fairly well against TT considering they were completely outmatched) but lost in close games. The games against Idaho (a BAD fbs team) were embarrassing and there really isn't an excuse for what happened there.

Why is everybody forgetting Texas Tech???

Is this an NDSU person ripping on UND for being international?? Have you seen the students in NDSU grad school?? Oh man, Watchmaker's on a roll today!!!! NDSU football is an athletic mill??? What league do the NDSU football players go on to after they're done at NDSU?? The SFL (signature forging league)??

Oh come on, enough of these lies trashing the bisons....... it was 3 former su football players at $9 per hour

This is an unfortunate byproduct of having a successful athletic program. When you have highly talented athletes at your school there are going to be a lot of people trying to lure them away by waving a lot of money in their faces. Maybe someday NDSU athletes will know what it's like (I wouldn't count on it).

Yeah it was mostly sarcasm from me, I'm sure I'll be back in Scheels within a month or 2 (no less often than usual). Although I am telling myself I need to make more of an effort to purchase stuff from the Sioux Shop rather than Scheels.

Ok, that's the last straw!! I'm done shopping there until they give UND at least $2 million *Good thing I just dropped some $$ there on Sioux gear and need to take a break anyways.

Thanks, I'm gonna have to try this out. Hopefully it comes close to being almost like the real thing.....

how do they make the taco meat into a spreadable paste?

Whoa, a positive comment from Watchmaker and a pig flying outside my office window on the same day!?! The end is near!! Haha *Sorry watch I couldn't resist, but you gotta admit you can be a bit negative on this board.....

Kinda feel sorry for the guy. Any video he could watch on UND would show us running the ball really well with our pass game being mediocre at best. He and the defense did a good job stopping the run at least Hopefully he's not the last opposing coach to feel some heat after a game against UND this year

These SDSU commenters have taken a turn for the worse after a respectable start. Regardless, welcome to the board, it should be a good game. I've got SDSU by 6 (thanks to Muss calling a punt) unless UND tackles like we did last week. If we don't fix the tackling SDSU will roll by 28.

Minors really aren't a big deal. I'm guessing Senkbeil has the harsher punishment due to the "failure to halt" charge and rightfully so. However, I expect the haters to make a big deal about how he's not a starter.

My take: Minor in college = no big deal 2nd minor in college = still not a huge deal, but a situation worth monitoring running from cops = pretty stupid getting caught after running from cops = really stupid stealing a parking sign = incredibly stupid All in all, a 1 game suspension (Robert Morris) would have been justified. I'd hope he at least had to do some extra sprints. I'm not real concerned about this one though. Are you referring to the pain/unhappiness experienced by those who hoped to vote on these petitions or are you walking the company line and attempting to make the 15 people (moreso just the 13 associated with NDSU) who committed fraud the victims? At least we agree on suspensions. I'm one of the people who thinks this wouldn't be as big of an issue if NDSU had simply gotten ahead of it by suspending players for the Robert Morris game. Unfortunately for NDSU, they've had some awful press conferences in which they give the impression that they don't give 2 sh*ts about fraud or what the people of ND think.* *Not saying this is necessarily the case, just the impression given.

If by interesting you mean an NCAA investigation, I'll be stocking up on popcorn.

Oh, did I hit a nerve?? I would be willing to bet someone at NDSU said "Here's an easy job for you guys to make some $$ this summer." That, or one of the former players put them on to it since they were getting hired.
