UNDBIZ

I'm sure UND and the NC$$ will grieve the loss of such a dedicated fan

What's especially disappointing for me is I think Nelson could've been a serious contender for the Hobey next year (I don't think he has any run-ins with the law). An extra off-season on UND's weight-training program in UND's world-class facilities could've done wonders for him....

And that will still accomplish nothing..... I'm fairly certain hardly any of the Pro-UND crowd believes the nickname is "Hostile & Abusive," however, that isn't really even the question anymore. The question is whether keeping the name and suffering the NC$$ sanctions will cause harm to UND. With the negatives in scheduling and recruiting, it is apparent the sanctions are already beginning to have their desired effect.

I hope you're right Dave, unfortunately I know you're wrong. If you don't think home-field advantage is important for the success of the football team, then you don't know anything about football...

I was referring to the future need of having another supreme court filing on the same case with multiple $300 lawyers along with their $175 assistants.

How else is the state supposed to use up that $1 billion surplus?? More frivolous spending is needed....

It would appear so. In this case it's a dangerous decision for the home team....

I think people are basing their opinions on the fact Nelson wasn't nearly as dominant as Frattin, Oshie, and Zajac, much less Toews and Parise. I feel their opinions are justified, as he is not strong enough yet (Forbort and Kristo are also not powerful enough with the puck, in my opinion) for the NHL. 1 more year with UND would be great (would have been great) for all 3 of them. Perhaps he will prove us wrong.... only time will tell. Regardless, good luck to him as he pursues his future career.

I wonder if it had anything to do with this incident: http://missoulian.com/news/state-and-regional/griz-qb-allowed-back-at-practice-by-legal-misunderstanding-says/article_ececa6dc-7950-11e1-bdb8-0019bb2963f4.html Montana may be following the UND principle of fire/expel first, ask questions later

That building will be empty... doesn't matter which teams are playing.

There aren't any.....

especially now that they're up 2

if they're going to waive the goal, they should call the delay of game penalty....

absolutely terrible call on waiving off the goal (IMO)

I agree that UND hockey may be approching a crossroads, where things could take a dramatic turn. However, I'd attribute it almost entirely to the conference change. Losing Minnesota and Wisconsin and not getting Notre Dame (not that any of it was UND's fault) could prove very damaging. Regardless of what we like to think of UND's superiority, we are still a school with less national recognition (beyond hockey at least).

I hope you are victorious in your quest. However, I don't understand why this can't be done without causing harm (sanctions) to UND.

Yes, he does. Yes, he does. I wasn't aware the NAACP had entered the Sioux nickname situation on the side of the save the nickname crowd. Apparently you're new here, as diplomacy has been the attempt for the last 7 years and the NCAA hasn't changed their policy to allow UND to keep the name. He really does....

I agree, even though he is a fan of moo U

Ah, yours was more heavily masked.... didn't catch it.

Yes

I believe it was sarcasm.....

Since the Fighting Sioux won't be playing this weekend, who will you cheer for?? Oh wait, you can still cheer for them without the name.....
