UNDBIZ

Well he's got most of the team beat on this one! Put him in at the end of games when the other team is fouling!!

I've heard the main reason the Catholic Church is pushing it is to prevent the government from forcing pharmacists to supply birth control. Now whether you agree with the Catholic Church on that point is a personal choice (not mine), but I worry about the other consequences of passing such a measure. I don't like the idea of religious law (and this measure gives extra power to all religions, good or bad) becoming more powerful in this country.

UND coaches, players, faculty, staff, alumni foundation, and student government all say vote yes. So I'm not sure who you're talking about.

We'll just have to get majority approval from the white people of North Dakota. Someone start a petition for a statewide vote!!

In 2005 the state still had the opportunity to get tribe approval and avoid sanctions. This is not the case in 2012. Things have changed so you're just going to have to deal with it. There were those who believed the name should be dropped in 2005 because they saw it as racist (See: Watchmaker) and there are those who believe the name should be dropped now because not doing so would result in sanctions which harm the University (See: Most posters on this forum).

The Fighting Whiteys?? I smell $$ for naming rights....

Yeah you guys! If you were a hiring manager and saw resumes from 2 people fresh out of college with similar grades/experience, who wouldn't pick the UPhoenix grad?!?

Oooo and that would work perfectly for chants/cheers during the game too!!!

I'd prefer the name of something that kills gophers and bison....

I suppose it would benefit NDSU to change their ticket pricing system then.....

If you go back and read some of the pages in the 40s in this forum, you'll see that idea has already been refuted. NDSU wouldn't have to pay a team $250k to play in the Fargodome and they could increase ticket prices for the UND game compared to a game against Whocares State University.

You're just going to say they're "not true" without even making an attempt at debunking them??

Good points.....

Did you really just compare yourself to Christopher Columbus??

Who cares about football!! I just want my Fighting Sioux t-shirt!!

Athletics gives a large boost to student recruitment. Student recruitment results in higher enrollment. Higher enrollment results in more money (other than at NDSU and DSU, where the students from outside the tri-state area all get tuition waivers). More money results in the ability to provide a better education. I hope I made it clear enough for you LakesDave. Oh, and putting LOL and a smiley at the end of your post isn't fooling anyone. We all know being proven wrong makes you angry (one of the reasons I enjoy it so much).

he's undercover

All the NCAA would have to do is look at the attendance of "neutral-site" regionals outside of MSP to see that this policy is not very good for the fans and there isn't much tremendous happening (off the ice at least). However, I suppose it is more fair to play in front of an empty building than it is to play in front of a partisan crowd....

It changed a few years ago, not sure of the exact date. I've always had a feeling it had something to do with how the goofers were treated at the Ralph after the Holy Cross upset. They probably cried to the NCAA that the Ralph played music to loudly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1_x1oo35L0

You're right. Also, per NC$$ sanctions, UND currently isn't eligible to host regionals anywhere (if they wanted to host one at the X or Scheels arena or something crazy).

We went 8-3 last season....

Surprised Johnboy didn't add in that we have to beat the Gophers (who won't schedule us) as a fail-safe.

I don't live with my grandma, my grandma lives with me!! There's a difference!!
