Looks like N.D. is giving in

[PierBridge]

The government has no business in getting involved in this.

There are just following state law as they have to in this instance.

[cbrooks]

I get they have to by law because of the petition they have to restore the name now until the reforenum(sp). I was referring back when the state governor step in to try to save the nickname and all the other state legistrative was doing the same thing. This vote should only be the Spirt Lake tribe and no one else IMO. This is hurting UND more than its helping.

They are actually making fun of und right now on kfan.

Government and do gooders need to stay the hell out of it, look at all the [PoorWordUsage] they screw up. I say keep the logo it's an awesome logo and those who don't like keep your head in the sand or another spot that has marginal sunlight!

Someone let me know when this is over.

[cbrooks]

I would have to believe its finally over. The only thing that keep UND hanging on that name in the end was the hockey and the REA hockey arena and now both are say its over. Its done thank god. Everyone else has given in except Spirit Lake.

CBrooks, with the election today, are there any estimations/predictions being reported for measure 4 (retiring the Fighting Sioux nickname)?

[cbrooks]

Sorry for the late reply Shore(I haven't been here for awhile). As you know now the Yes's won that so the name will be changed. I voted Yes. Hopefully this is the final chapter IMO.

Muskie is just around the corner for your neck of the woods(I'm talking canada). I'll be reading your reports in the Canadian threads. I'm heading to the NW Angle for a week at the end of this month. Staying on a Island on the west side. Hopefully I'll have some positive reports. Hope for little wind that week.

Brooks, you done any muskie fishing yet.

Im hopping to get up north this weekend. Ive only city fished a little.

We still need to hit that lake.

[cbrooks]

No muskie fishing yet this year. Been hitting the walleyes at LOW every weekend. i might try muskie's at my usual lake this weekend.

[OnAFly]

Sounds like a tough life

[cbrooks]

My biggest worry is what color jig to use. How bout you OnaFly, any fishing destination in the future?

[OnAFly]

I just got back from Rainy on the North Arm. It's a good thing I don't live too close, or I'd be there every weekend. It's just nuts how good the fishing is.

Beyond that I've got a week in MT fishing the Missouri and the Smith rivers and I'm sure I'll get up to Grand Rapids and DL a time or two. It should be a nice balance of trout and walleyes this summer

[cbrooks]

I'm jealous...I haven't been to Rainy in a couple of years...its been too long. I got a last second phone call for Lock port Catfishing. I guess I'll be doing that this weekend. Getting a nice mix of different fish this year. Good luck on your trout fishing OnFly. Scott, I'll have to hook up with you one of these times. It seems I always get a last second invite to all these canadain/LOW trips I just can't pass up.

[scsavre]

Brooks, its mukies time, stop fishing for bait. also known as walleyes.

My boys got to go to Engelstad in July for a hockey camp. They were so excited to go to the "Sioux arena" to play. For the last few years I've been loading up on Sioux jerseys for myself and the kids for the next 20 years; I will still wear them to every game I attend. Next thing you know the NCAA will start kicking me out of games because I'll be wearing the Sioux jersey!

So much for freedom of speech in this country!

Sioux pride forever!

Glad its over for now too.
