Not scizophrenic, I think I may have false hope if what you all truly are saying is true. I don't think the sanctions will magically dissappear, however, I would like to think that the NCAA would be lenient with our school if they can see the native tribes are not offended (which they are obviously not). Maybe I am more pissed that we have to get rid of the logo and nickname for some bogus reason (like many of you also believe, however I just b!tch about it).

Yeah I was thinking of checking it out.

Scare tactics....the NCAA was against the ropes....if vote goes no (or yes to the nickname) they will eventually be forced to pull the sanctions. However, their scare tactics has obviously scared everyone to the point of getting rid of the greatest logo and nickname in sports. Please do not listen to the coaches...look who pays them. I like Hak a lot...but I know he probably cares more about how he stands with his bosses than the nickname. The nickname is much more important to the fans and the people who have grown up in GF.

Yes there is a pretty big difference with top end kids (blue chip prospects), however, there are also kids in the CHL that could never play college hockey (WCHA, HE, CCHA, etc). But overall you are correct, it would simply depend on the matchup. FYI, Portland is jacked up with prospects.

There is no difference, however, the issue has been kids decommiting at the last second and going up to canada. If it were two CHL teams, once the contract is signed no other team can negotiate with that particular player. Actually once a kid is drafted no other team can talk to that kid. There must be some regulation in place where CHL GMs cannot negotiate with committed college players.

FYI....they are both coming 100%. The only reason Steve is at UNO is because of Dean...he still loves UND. Him and Hak are not fond of each other from what I have heard.

Yeah, I agree with you. Pretty sure the name will get voted out anyway.

I agree with much of what you said....except that because FSU will still be the Seminoles.

Ha ha, yes it does (from experience).

When did I contradict myself? I probably did, but just can't find it. Long story short, many of you guys want to keep the nickname because you would rather play SDSU than Jamestown, which now makes sense to me (although it is still below D-1 A which is all the same to me, however I agree when we have the chance to play the D-1 A teams and get rick-rolled it is still fun to watch for the first couple quarters (no sarcasm meant)). I simply think if this law does pass, the NCAA (after some time and arguements) will eventually let us off the hook. As for getting those games against liberal schools with money (UM, WIS, etc) probably won't happen. If the Seminoles can have their name so can we, I know we did it ass backwards, but at the end of the day there is no difference. They have approval, so do we...end of story. At a higher moral level, we have people of native decent fighting to keep the name....just doesn't make sense to me. They obviosuly do not find it offensive.

Yeah, sounds crazy. I bet were going to be changing our state names next. Anyway, what is the benefit to SDSU of playing us? You actually think it has something to do with our nickname? If so how? I can see UM and Wis because their schools are so liberal.

k thanks

I hear you on that front...those regionals in GF were awesome.

So when do they announce Berry???

He's commited...I'm friends with his cousin who told me so right after he told me Steve was going to UNO. Steve doesn't want to coach his kid.

OK....sorry guys my rant obviously offended some of you...and yes I am not expert on this subject. I simply want to keep the nickname and I don't believe the NCAA will be able to (nor would they want to) absolutely take everything away from us. Again, at the end of the day it is not like we are the only one's with this kind of nickname. By a small (very small) chance all the horror stories you guys keep making up are true...I say punt the nickname. Jeez, my last post sure rattled this thread a tad.

Don't listen to any of these guys on this site....they are all trying to fill everyone's heads with garbage. They are simply pusing (to no end) to get rid of the nickname and are bashing everyone and their mothers for saying otherwise. They are scared because the would rather play Southeastern south dakota school of mines rather than jamestown even though that has not officially been proven yet. Whatever division the football team plays in will be just fine...either way it isn't D-I A football, everything below, well, is just below. You can still go out and hope your team wins. As for it affecting the hockey team...it won't...we simply will not be playing againt the Gophs or Badgers. They'll come calling when they need their stadiums filled.

I like it.

Yeah I get the hatred towards the CHL for the poaching...I get that. I agree something needs to be done about that. Regarding your second comment....I guess I'm barking up the wrong tree here. Sioux board...not hockey board.

Yes I know....I am afraid we're going to lose the name though.

Yes I am aware of that...I wanted to note something about how the only reason it is being taken away is regarding its political correctness. Maybe I'll have to keep looking.

It is still in ND and many western kids go to UND. Oilers is actually the only one I have liked...although Nodaks is cool (although sounds kind of odd when saying the entire school name). I really do not like Norse/Norseman/Fighting Norseman. There are too many other nationalities in ND (German, etc).

Yeah, I guess. It's too bad though.

Hahaha, I was thinking the same thing. They should outlaw those things.

? Are you now comparing a CHL team to a USHL team?
