2011-2012 North Dakota Offseason Thread

Re: 2011-2012 North Dakota Offseason Thread

My second question in my series of random questions since BU is visiting in November:

What is the away fan section? Is it 310A?

In a summer where nothing has really happened Brian Idalski was given a contract extension. There is a good chance that UND will have two UND hockey teams that are national powers.

Good to see UND taking a run at moving its ladies program up to top tier level. Hope you can turn the program into a powerhouse leveraging the Lams while you got em.

Matt Green was on Good Day LA (KTTV) this morning. myfoxla.com If you can make it to LA this evening, he's autographing Kings Stanley Cup DVDs.

Saw Matt Greene this evening. Sounds like he had a good time last week at UND and at Parise's wedding. Asked him how the Sioux look this year and he basically said they look good. And from what he said it sounds like the Sioux hockey players, especially the younger players are very much looking forward to the start of next season.

Here is his TV interview from this morning:

I'm going to guess that's not the case, although the news reports surrounding the settlement probably wrote it up something like "UND must switch to a different nickname by" the deadline imposed by the NCAA.

First, I don't think the NCAA cares. Once they got rid of "Sioux", their job was done. Can you imagine the ridicule that would follow an effort by the NCAA to force the University to actually choose a name? Second, if there was a deadline for replacing the name, I don't think the University would be taking the approach it is, which is to set no timeline for the actual selection.

Here's the relevant language from the settlement agreement...

Settlement Agreement said:
Paragraph 2, Subsection d: Absence of Namesake Approval....If UND does not adopt a new nickname and logo, or if the transition to a new nickname and logo is not completed prior to August 15, 2011, then UND will be returned to the list of institutions subject to the Policy [NCAA Policy against Native American Nicknames].

To me, this says that if UND does not adopt a new nickname and logo, they will be returned to the naughty list, subject to the NCAA's Policy. What makes the most sense though, is that the NCAA's Policy wouldn't care about North Dakota if they didn't have a nickname, but I think this language requires a decision by the NCAA's Policy (again, it may already have done so) before assuming we won't be on the naughty list.

I'm a long time UND fan, and I'll never forget the Sioux nickname.
I started a latch hook project last September, and worked on it mostly on Badger football saturdays and NFL Sundays. Here's how it turned out:

Yeah, rip me, real men can latch hook.
