  1. Someone is reporting Schlossman's doings and antics here. I report the Fargo Forum's doings and antics here. And the difference is ...
  2. Did I say that's what the logo would be? No. That's how the Fargo Forum perceives what a "Nodak" is. The largest newspaper in the state perceives the word "Nodak" to be a bibs wearin' hick. So keep your money, or bet the Forum editorial board (as it's their work), and quit shooting messengers.
  3. Yup. Folks didn't read.
  4. That cartoon was the prime editorial cartoon in Sunday's Fargo Forum. That's not a scare tactic by me; the Forum is putting that out there; that is reality, and not of my doing. Please save your vitriol for them.
  5. The Fargo Forum's view of a "Nodak": Nodak: A bibs wearin' hick.
  6. Or naivety.
  7. What's a Nodak? The Fargo Forum tipped their hand Sunday. So are we bibs wearin' hicks?
  8. Another question: Why the request for a TRO on the vote? What are they afraid of there? If their (dubious in my mind) claim is only the Legislature can do anything isn't the vote moot?
  9. What'd I learn today? If you go here: http://publicsearch.ndcourts.gov/Search.aspx?ID=200&NodeID=110,1118,1132&NodeDesc=Northeast Central District Select search by "Case" and put in "18-2015-CV-01843", search, click the link, and I learned it costs just $140 to make my head hurt.
  10. Let's go to June 2012, the measure as it appeared on the ballot said:[7] So the Legislature passed SB 2370 to require UND to do something other than what it was planning to do. Doesn't that indicate that UND had/has the power and authority to change the name because what the Legislature did precluded UND's rightful authority?
  11. Whathe ... re-e-e-eally? Let's go to June 2012, the measure as it appeared on the ballot said:[7] So the Legislature passed SB 2370 to require UND to do something other than what it was planning to do. Doesn't that indicate that UND had/has the power and authority to change the name because what the Legislature did precluded UND's rightful authority?
  12. And they have standing because ...
  13. You didn't like the first response? How about ... It is a new beginning to a new timeline that history says will have a changing logo. So focus on the nickname, not the (sure to change) logo, to start things off.
  14. Leave MafiaMan out of this.
  15. You mean like the three-plus years (the ND Legislature's "cooling off period") we've been in limbo?
  16. So you thinking Exodus 20:3-5 or more Exodus 32:4?
  17. How many different logos were used with the old nickname? Right away I come up with Ben Brien's, the geometric, the blackhawk, "Sammy", ... Art, visual styles, change with eras. The nickname is what ties the timeline together. That's why I think voting on names without logos does make sense.
  18. If Nodaks is so good and was used already in the '40s ... why was it dropped. Don't say "for Sioux" because that was adopted in the '30s. If Nodaks is so great, why was it dropped.
  19. petey23: What the NCAA did is do a full vote to grant the Executive Committee the powers to make moves like the move they made on August 5, 2005. In doing so they gave vast, unchecked power to that group within their organization.
  20. Uh ... no.
  21. Two more than me. Folk, please, if you have a problem with something here go after the message, not the messenger. (The admins will take care of problem messengers.)
  22. Print it. Put it on the locker room door. You'll find out who's right.
  23. I believe that Arizona State will end up with better attendance than OSU or PSU over the longer term. Notice I didn't say "fan base", but "attendance". I see them getting a small fan base but a lot of snow bird attendees depending on the opponent. I have a place I can stay in the Phoenix area in the winter. I've already warned people that my visits will be based on the ASU home hockey schedule.
  24. The day is here. Congrats. http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/region/3841276-updated-aviation-pioneer-john-odegard-receives-rough-rider-award Governor's original proclamation: http://governor.nd.gov/media-center/news/dalrymple-names-john-d-odegard-42nd-recipient-theodore-roosevelt-rough-rider-award
