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.

Angela Lansbury.

Yes. That's part of it. That's called "Prudence", also described as wisdom, the ability to judge between actions with regard to appropriate actions at a given time. It along with Justice, Temperance, and Courage make up the four cardinal virtues.

And this sums up the fear of mine when I said "control what's yours to control." The long process (legal, institutional) and cooling off delays have worn many down. (Nothing personal, Mafia, but you exposed the sentiment.) This is exactly the play, the tactic, the folks that got the old nickname removed used, namely grind grind grind. I fear many have reached this same point, ceding what is theirs to control (and what should've been taken care of anywhere from 3 to 8 years ago) to the folks that play the long game (planning to win the war of attrition). Leigh Jeanotte and his minions are smirking. They mastered the tactic. When the battle was lost those of us who care about UND Athletics shouldn't have run away demanding time to negotiate further (with the unwilling) or "cooling off periods" but instead run towards demanding full control of an immediate solution. Well some of us did, but were disregarded.

Delay will be good for UND because ______________________. (Please limit your essays to 250 words or fewer.)

... in your opinion. Others may even say that about a SIX option list. Or a two option list. If we're expecting everyone to come away from this happy, we're somewhere between confused and delusional.

Why do you say that? Something new beyond the Goon article (two weeks ago) and the GFH article (last week) that I'm missing?

He can hear you.

You have to shoot to score. How many "shots" did he take by passing to his brother last season?

A wise mentor pointed out to me that a regional school has done just fine with a Looney Tunes "wabbit" logo and "down the food chain" nickname for many year.

The first "no nickname" rally happened after the committee cut it. Why rally for something that's not an issue yet?

I was going to go with "duck opener."

Fast food restaurants are not an economy. Getting Grand Sky populated, that would be an economy. Getting that new fertilizer plant built and running, that would be an economy. Finding a couple new manufacturers for the industrial park, that would be an economy. Do those three and the fast food joints will take care of themselves. First things first.

Last minute? They had fundraising in place. They chartered a bus to cross the state to bring people in. Unfortunately, it seems the total number of attendees could've ridden out the rain inside the bus.

I had to Google "LARP". To put this into words that make sense to my vocabulary: The "no nickname" rally got beat by a Grand Forks dungeons and dragons meeting. Ouch.

I see the quote in the article from Archie Fool Bear about how the 1969 ceremony is like a Catholic baptism. Not a good comparison. Why? Having, living Catholic beliefs is just as un-PC as having a Native based nickname, maybe worse. Either way, the media is not sympathetic at all to either idea. Sorry Archie, the media will award you no sympathy points for that. They may even negate you harder. Signed, A Catholic

We recently passed the ten year mark since the NCAA's decision. But we are eight years into having NO sealed documents in the case. http://www.inforum.com/news/3823213-documents-regarding-nickname-lawsuit-unsealed-years The information is out there.
