  1. But, as a great marketing mind, you missed it: Drop the first "e" as opponents will surely do. Ah, no. I like it, but it's not a good choice.
  2. Anyone else notice UNDErmines can also be written as undermines. It was just pointed out to me.
  3. You keep referring to their criteria. That's all well and good, and I applaud you for reading it; but, I suspect ultimately there'll be more than a fair amount of "Don Adam" in what comes out of the committee.
  4. I suspect Nokota (horse) and Nakota (tribe name) were confused by the "rocket surgeon" that put those lists together.
  5. My top 6 (not saying all survived): Rough Riders Reapers Torch Ghost Riders Mjolnir / Hammers Nokota
  6. Are we sure UND Aviation wants to be known as Bad...landers?
  7. So the name and logo is more important than "nattys" © gfhockey because the "Marco Hunt" treatment means no "nattys". I guess Hakstol gets a pass for the rest of his career.
  8. Source: http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/local/3737515-und-releases-potential-nickname-suggestions Translated: Both lists are a bunch of hokum slap-dazzled together to meet (or head off) freedom of information act requests for now and the foreseeable future. So don't believe anything you see on either list.
  9. Dear Beer, can I call you Beer? Your answer in (B) is incorrect. It should read: Keep the Fighting Sioux nickname and logo until the end of time and have the chips fall where they may in regards to national championships NCAA keep giving UND the "Marco Hunt" treatment at their tournaments until the end of time as well.
  10. It's been 3560 days since August 5, 2005. We are just 92 days short of the ten year anniversary of the "race, ethnicity, or national origin" nicknames ruling from the NCAA. We are no better off today than we were then. Actually, we are worse off: We're a house divided. We're frustrated. And we have no leadership.
  11. Most of the time you're on something.
  12. That was a diversity addition.
  13. You know, I suspect I could pick nine people off this board and come up with a committee better suited to parse through the suggestions. Let's see: jimdahl - chair The Sicatoka - vice chair, because I'm good at many vices ericpnelson Benny Baker jdub27 bincitysioux 82SiouxFan dagies Hayduke And I left off a whole lot of folks who would do very well on such a committee (Sioux-cia, Oxbow, Mafia, ... PCM ... )
  14. Took you guys this long to figure it out?
  15. Today verifies my prior position.
  16. No consistency; names showing up on both lists; something about this is half baked.
  17. Dr. Kelley is on the record as saying we'll not be going back to Flickertails ... which given Dr. Kelley's modus operandi of late means it's a shoo in. Flickertails is too similar to the 13 striped "g-word" to the east -- not distinct. Admit it 'ucci: You'd claim Goophie wannabees. And then there's the all-caps problem: FLICKERS
  18. And that's not a typo.
  19. While I understand their point, their lack of subtlety is far from professional journalism or professional editorializing. The satirists of bygone days are rolling in their graves. I find great irony in their tactics when pressed against their use of the line: “Bullying,” we will never give it up!
  20. Points 2 and 3 are the most intelligent thing you've posted on this site. To your points in 2: - "New team names are really big on concepts and inanimate objects these days" -- I wonder if anybody submitted "The Torch", like the torch on the UND seal? - "Concepts and animals can't complain." -- This should also work for my submission of "The Mafia". John Gotti says there is no mafia so we're golden, right? - "you still have to assign a race" -- Not necessarily, I submitted "Ghost Riders" also. Who are those: the Sioux, the Ojibwa, or some band of cowboys?
  21. All I want is: - every Chicago goal to read "Toews from Keith" when Duby is scored on (or Duby benched) - Stamkos to score on the PP (Subban in box) on Price
  22. As of the morning of Monday, May 4 (please verify): 55 - Ray77 52 - UND-RedSox fan 45 - fight on sioux 44 - The Sicatoka 39 - andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!! 39 - MafiaMan 38 - jimdahl
  23. So we are moving to your/you're next? I was so hoping for assure/ensure/insure.
  24. Correct. An ENG does not show up on a goalie's GA (because he's not in net). I use GA when I run my numbers.
