    So ... they arbitrarily change the rules from "5 -> 2" to "5 -> 3". Then they figure out, "We won't get a majority" and backtrack. No, they figured they'd split the alumni between 'riders and 'daks and get their generic <adjective><bird>. But people called them on it. But I still say they should follow the original rules as presented.

    What do you expect? They could screw up a two-car parade ... by somehow putting a third car in it.

    In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

    Roughriders.

    They're still manipulating. They should be stepping back and implementing the process as advertised originally. This (Nov 2-6) should be two options, not three.

    DFC?

    I don't look at plates first; I'm just anti-Buicks. Don't trust any of them. Only thing worse? Buick with "blue plates" (Minnesota).
  9. The Sicatoka
    Yeah, ... until the Thanagarians show up.

    I was going to joke that isn't this about the time where the second exam in fall classes happen? ;)

    Is it I'm just paying more attention or is UND hit by an inordinate number of injuries across the board this year? MH: Tomek, CJ, Janatuinen, Gersich, et al FB: Studsrud, Rich, Arnell, Reyes, et al WBB: I just read of a couple "out for season" in a thread in that forum. VB: Seems there's a couple injuries there now also. So is this unusual or is it just this hyper-media world where we know about all of them?

    Except that's not the F-word I most commonly hear in front of Nodaks.

    I'm pretty sure there's a long list of things you'd do for 40 bucks.

    I wouldn't even call it xenophobic. I'd say that most consultants only know the "coast" mindset and don't know much at all about us out here in "fly over territory". They bring what they know with them and it doesn't align to us. Not xenophobic, just different bases of experience that we work from (that sometimes clash).

    FYP.

    (Not aimed at you yzer ... but) .... And there it it. Long ago, when it was clear the old name had been lost, I said (ad infinitum, ad nauseum) that those of us who do care need to "control what is ours to control". The sentiment in yzer's post is exactly what I feared. The powers that be (see: Kelley) beat us into process-committee-process submission so they could feed us pablum (see: inoffensive "adjective birds" or not-a-word, no real meaning, postal abbreviations) and prove their "superiority" by not even following their own processes. And that's why I say Roughriders. It's not academic-approved pablum.

    So what you're kinda saying is ... Q: Why not? A: Minot

    Allow, indulge, me one more: I am NOT going to adjust my expectation that the fumbles must stop (recovered or given away). It takes a down away from an already questionable offense.
  20. The Sicatoka
    KnightRiders. It's what the shared girls hockey team is called. < cue the music >
  21. The Sicatoka
    My problem with "Nodaks" is this: it's an obsolete postal abbreviation. It's neither imaginative nor creative.
  22. The Sicatoka
    OK, so I'm not the only one wondering ...
  23. The Sicatoka
    I know how I voted. (Anyone can do a quick search and figure it out here.) But right now my biggest issue is not which name comes out of it but how it comes out of it; specifically, ... The process for voting was announced before the round of five. To change it after that is at best arbitrary and capricious, and at worst manipulative and conspiratorial.

    Why not take the Minot solution - they have grades 9 and 10 downtown and grades 11 and 12 at "Magic City". Just be "Grand Forks" with 9th and 10th grade at Central Campus (downtown) and 11th and 12th grades at Red River Campus. Based on the GFH story, there are 2087 (937 GFC, 1150 GFRR) between the two schools. That's about the same number (2100) that is listed for Minot High. The theory follows in that Minot also has (private, Catholic) Minot Ryan where GF has (yes, East Grand Forks, private, Cathlic) Sacred Heart. The difference is that there is EGF public there also.
