UNDBIZ

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.

This article would support that http://missoulian.com/news/local/um-attorney-cautions-against-helping-student-athletes-find-legal-help/article_f42a26b0-747b-11e1-a2f6-0019bb2963f4.html?mode=story

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.....

The black jerseys haven't held much magic for UND this season though....

Hence, SL should've focused on its lawsuit against the NC$$, rather than get sidetracked trying to hurt UND.

Here's the GPL (maroon and yellow glasses) version of events...

They didn't even bother taking the time to check the spelling and grammar of their filing. I don't think the lawsuit has a chance. I wish I was wrong, but I can't simply put my head in the sand and say SL will win in their lawsuit. At most, SL comes away with some settlement $$, which is probably what this is all about for them anyways.

Apparently I struck a nerve and that wasn't my intent. All the things you say need to be done can be done without hurting UND. At this point UND doesn't have any more ammo; they are handcuffed by the settlement agreement and King Al's idiotic law. Leave UND out of it, pursue the SL lawsuit against the NC$$, and get the NC$$'s hipocrisy into the media. Legally, the NC$$ has all the power (so the lawsuit probably won't work). To get them to change, there must be public (Native American) outcry in the media (against the NCAA, not the SBHE and UND). I agree that getting Senator stache and Representive Ricky Rich involved couldn't hurt. This can be done without harming UND.

If you think the average person knows better than UND, the SBHE, and the legislature..... I ask you to take one look at DaveK, luapsided, 10898 (or whatever it is), yababy, and Fetch's posts on this board. Although they are the vocal minority on this site, they are not the minority in the state. They spew lies (which they completely believe) at every turn. Also, since you missed it last time: "So based on your post about the SL lawsuit, it would appear you don't think the NC$$ policy will be changing any time soon. Do you believe the sanctions won't hurt UND, or do you not care about UND?? "
