Sioux>Bison

Is that titleist hat fitted?

Kelly was the main driver behind treating the students like prisoners. I guess no other school in the history of colleges has done a crude chant. UND was the sole driver of changing the beer sizes because they thought a 32oz beer was too big to drink during intermission. The REA is somewhat in charge but I guarantee you they listen to what the athletic department demands them to change. This policy has now flopped and many students chug 2 -24oz beers, so much for stupid rules to reduce bing drinking... kelley was in fact to blame with censoring beer grandma. He was the one that rose a fuss because he thought she promoted drinking to the students. If you think showin beer grandma on the scoreboard is detrimental to the student busy you need to get your brain checked. There is nothing as innocent as her. kelley supported dropping the nickname because he thought it was actually offensive and not because the NCAA left us no choice. He never had the best interest in mind for UND. I really can't think of anything on campus as his memorable legacy. It's night and day when compared to Kennedy.

You would think think those same Chippewa would concentrate on opposing Central Michigan university...... oh wait they are too busy going into the Sioux's business...... sounds a lot like the history between the two....

I think I'm the article it said that he tried boxing. I'm hoping he is in decent shape after this break and trained even a little. Either way he won't be a fresh as he was when he was a freshman. I think the step from HS as a running back to D1 is bigger than the resumption of a D1 career after a year break. Look at it as recovering from a long injury without he baggage of actually having a big injury. Im happy his family and friends have supported him coming back.

He has a real opportunity to get a nearly free education by playing football. By sticking with football he also has a chance at the big league if he develops like we expect him to.

The article also said NDSU made a call. This shows how big of a talent this man is. He has so much potential for his football career and for his future occupational career. I can't wait to see him play another 3 years and by the end of that he may be playing on Sundays or at the very least becoming a huge role model for the MHA nation. Good luck to Mr Grady, can't wait to see you play this fall!

Heck if we need all of the sports then why not just add more! Just need to figure out the funding but that isn't hard right? I don't know why these people think we NEED way more sports teams than our fellow peer schools.

Congrats Denver. They were the best team all year and deserved to win it all. Welcome to the Number 8 club! Dem Dirty Dogs got what was coming. Screw Duluth

Big sky travel would be much worse. Longer flights. That's the same map as the summit and mvfc minus the Dakota schools.

I like how all these letters to the editors fail to mention how they think UND can keep finding women's hockey? Where would the money come from??? Neither UND or the state has money so do we raise student fees to oh for it? UND would have to cut something so what do they think was a better option. We must keep our core sports to be a member of the summit. All these people do is complain but offer no feasible solutions.

It's good to see a full house for these games. They need to keep the tourney in cities that have had the highest attendance.

Go Denver! We need them to win and crush Duluth tomorrow! Karma is a biatch Duluth!

Question? did Heidi attend women's hockey game this year? I know she went to at least one in NYC for the men. Now she would be a big hypocrite if she didn't attend a game for both teams

What a sheet head Kelley was. I don't know if he intentionally wanted to tear down everything great about UND but he sure did leave his mark. From wussifying the student section, lowering the beer cup sizes, pushing to drop the Sioux logo, and censoring Beer Lady he really wanted to ruin many things that were great about UND. Nobody likes a nanny president who thought what would best for us students and fans as a huge outsider. i thank god he is no longer the president and he will NEVER BE MISSED. I think Kennedy has been the best thing to run that office in a long time.

I will always remember that no matter how good or bad the game was going Beer Lady brought an instant spontaneous reaction of joy to all of those in the rink. She will be missed and will NEVER forget those great memories. RIP

The NDSU game in the Ralph was pretty fun. The corners were blocked off to fill up the sideline seats. I want to go to a BB game in the Ralph again. If BB ticket demand goes up you will see games moved to the Ralph. It's the natural progression .

Plenty of room for big raises for big time performances i.e. Hockey, football and basketball

Those accomplishments in basketball are just fine with me! Making the dance gives UND more recognition nationally than any other sport at UND. Do you remember how much publicity NDSU got when they won the first round game? If you don't think making the big dance is a big deal then you must live under a massive rock.

If everyone who complained today that was men's hockey was cut attended one game last year there would have been thousands in attendance right? If you are one of the outraged people then why didn't you attend a game? WiSioux did you make it to a game or have you ever went to one?

It may be possible that more people attend youth hockey tournaments at the Ralph than our own women's college hockey team. Heck even Minot State prob has as many fans.... this is why it had to be cut

You are serious right ? i rather see banners there in front of thousands of fans ranther than a WIH banner in the Ralph in front of hundreds of fans (that's reaching)

I have never been a fan of any of the presidential administrations at UND since graduating. Today I can say my feelings have changed. Kennedy is what this university has needed.

The Olympians sure are not bringing fans to the UND women's hockey games. They are one of the lowest attended games of all women's sports in the best facility in the nation. It deserves to be cut.

I am so proud of my university today. They made the best decision possible for the school and the athletic department. These cuts do hurt many athletes but the cuts were needed. UND never needed that many sports. this move may be to motivate rich alumni to sustain the programs with their money. If these alumni care that much about the sports they will raise the money to keep them. Proud of what Kennedy has done so far!
