Good for Grant Shaft - I just read this ( I wish I would of thought of this & had said it ) http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/208163 Now more than ever Everyone who Cares & has Hope write a polite email to the NCAA - memmert@ncaa.org

Former UND Alumni Association, Foundation boards presidents chime in
Fetch replied to The Sicatoka's topic in UND Nickname
"Barring a change in the position of the NCAA toward UND and the promised sanctions, we are asking you to move quickly to remove any roadblocks to retiring the Fighting Sioux nickname. If this requires a 'special session' of the Legislature to repeal the recent law, it should be done swiftly just shows the timing of what the sky is falling crowd has once again added more negative to something that can still be won -
Now more than ever Everyone who Cares & has Hope write a polite email to the NCAA - memmert@ncaa.org

at least we went down as Fighting Sioux BUT !!! have I mentioned that there is still a Chance & some Hope - why roll over & play dead unless your leader ordered you to
-
Congratulations on getting in the Hall of Fame .................another Fighting Sioux Forever !

If the NCAA does not meet with our Governor & the name is lost - Kelly will never be respected, for not even trying to understand or help - He is not a Fighting Sioux Fan or will never get respect from so many of us that are - This will fester for longer than many want to admit - UND admin. has used the whole D1 scare tactics to the fulliest Sure the NCAA has a bad agreement - a united effort I believe could have changed that - They never even tried & that is sad

The Sky is Not Falling yet

"dwindling few" - note the how effective these kind of messages are I guess all the folks who contacted their Legislators were just a few
-
now politics & religion
-
yes I did & I attend UND - did not graduate - did graduate else where NDSSS - so I'm not capable of what graduates know But I have been a Sioux Hockey fan for 37 years & a season tickets holder for 27 yrs ..............who cares ? I do & many others do too - thats why the law passed I care less now about sports in general.......... sorry If the NCAA meets with our Governor & he comes back & says there is no chance, then I'll give up But the attitude of many here will make me angry for some time - to the point that I don't care about D1 in other sports & still hope we take this all the way now what's your fabled history ?

very cool site - listen to Police Fire EMS live from Minot http://www.radioreference.com/apps/audio/?action=wp&feedId=5773
-
there you go - they mostly all leave & without the community there would be significant less support for UND Sports the donations are great but not enough & the biggest donor ever has already been snubbed & disrespected .................Fools are to blame
-
I wonder what % of Season Ticket holders Graduated from UND or what % attend games Some of you think your better than the community Man! those Professors sure accomplished their goals with most of you & you don't even know it
-
MAYBE - but the people will not let that happen I'm so sick of the D1 chicken littles that I now blame you for losing the name D1 is proving to be a disaster
-
& They (UND) including the SBOHE made a feeble effort - Thus the People / Legislature & Governor had to step in & try to right a wrong
-
Like not standing up for the name ? You can't tell me he has not aggressively done things proactively to make it go away You make him sound like a innocent bystander ............BS !
-
How's that ? Facilities ? maybe that needs to end unless it brings in more $$$ than it costs & is supported by a public vote.........? ? ?
-
Maybe what needs to happen is Tax Payer Supported Sports needs to come to an end People would be amazed at the true costs of it all I can watch pro sports -or local / regional teams like the Red Hawks Maybe The Ralph will get a USHL or AHL team Take away UND Sioux Hockey - I admit I don't want to any longer support H.S. or College Sports The Country's broke & I bet austerity measures are coming Pay to play -Club Teams - the more talented kids will always get funded otherwise just local no travel intramural teams many other way to save Tax Payer $$$ in Public Schools & Colleges Then there would be no need for a NCAA http://www.feedthepig.org/
