The Sicatoka

One vote per person (or else I'd be voting as alumni, donor, and season tickets).

Chewey, my man, that has been guaranteed from the start. Proof? The folks still wearing "Stanford Indians" or "Dartmouth Indians" original gear to games.

You keep throwing that Trojan horse out there.

And with that quote Rob Port finally got something right. Someone does need to be the adult in the room. And it's taken heaven knows how long, but believe it or not, it was Robert Kelley. We've had three years of "talking" and "get this right". With all due respect to the chair of the ND SBoHE, but "One more look at this and visit with everybody and come to a decision" is pure hokum. Committee after committee has already done that ad nauseum. Where has she been throughout this process?

Ladies, congrats on the win, but there is no dishonor in putting them down in three (and keeping our pulses under three digits).

At first I was all happy because I'd get to vote three times: But then I got to:

Where was Kelley with this statement two weeks, months, years, ago?

Yes, key word: DIGITS.

For you, minimum six digits (and that's left of the decimal point).

Precisely.

Seems this thread is back from the archives.

Done.

The voting process was announced today. http://und.edu/features/2015/08/nickname-process.cfm

Upon this point, my friend, you and I agree.

The Big Sky Conference requires: Men (7): Basketball, Cross Country, Football, Golf, Tennis, Track & Field (indoor), Track & Field (outdoor) Women (9): Basketball, Cross Country, Golf, Soccer, Softball, Tennis, Track & Field (indoor), Track & Field (outdoor), Volleyball UND sponsors 21, so beyond those: M/W hockey, M/W S&D, baseball. I do believe it's time to take a hard look at the sport offerings at UND.

I agree with Tom Miller's take. And he's right here: UND is sponsoring 21 DI sports. NDSU is doing 16. UND needs to relook at its sport offerings line-up.

Ryan Bartels plays QB at UND. Frank Bartles hung out with Ed Jaymes.

FIFY. (Just poking fun at you Wilbur. )

Yup. We went through three last season if I recall ...

Most schools pass the licensing off to a licensing house like CLC. https://www.clc.com/

Love your idea , but, it was the STATE of SC's display of the flag so the NCAA decided to boycott the State. The schools in the State got swept up by that. In the UND case, it would be UND doing it so only UND would face the consequences.

Yeah, but then folks would shorten it to 'mongs, and someone would mishear it as Hmong and we'd be toast all over again.

Again, probably Angela Lansbury.

(First, folks, this is about Twitter and Facebook, not politics. Thank you.) I recall a recent, what I would call repugnant, comment by "The Donald" regarding a Fox anchor. It hit the Twit and the 'book and I was sure The Donald was cooked because of the (faux) "outrage" exploding there. Instead, The Donald has shot up even higher in the polls. I don't view the Twit or the 'book as much more than the end stool at the corner bar. Lots of loud aggrandizing can be witnessed, but little comes of it.

If the First Amendment mattered to the NCAA, or came into play at all in this conversation, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
