The Sicatoka

Uh ... so where is Minnesota going to come up with 5-6 per to cover that?

Nuts. You're right. I have to quit trying to do updates by reading the box score and just go to the "leaders page". 56 - Ray77 53 - UND-RedSox fan 46 - The Sicatoka 44 - fight on sioux 40 - MafiaMan 39 - andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!! 38 - jimdahl

Folks need to read and understand my signature: The NCAA, the hyper-retentive, hyper-detail-checking group, that micromanages every detail of every event, that made Scheel's Arena in Fargo put "NCAA" stickers over the "Dakota Magic Casino" logos on the cup holders at the seats, did not put Marco Hunt on the ice with UND in Boston by mistake. The NCAA knew exactly what and why they were doing it. They knew UND pushed for Marco Hunt to be removed from the NCHC approved officials list. They knew Marco Hunt wasn't happy about it. So what did the NCAA do? They put Marco Hunt on the ice with UND as the game official for a national semifinal. That was no mistake. That was a message from the NCAA to UND saying pick a nickname so we don't have to keep hearing the "S" word, or you'll keep getting "the Marco Hunt treatment" from us. Conspiratorial? Sure. But the NCAA doesn't make "mistakes" like that in championships. They send messages.

Oh yes, ... keep the name, have to have "post season" uniforms that are never seen on the playing surface in Grand Forks in any sport, and keep getting the "Marco Hunt" treatment by the NCAA. Oh yes, ... fabulous idea.

You're right, missed Duby's only "contribution". 56 - Ray77 53 - UND-RedSox fan 46 - The Sicatoka 44 - fight on sioux 39 - andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!! 39 - MafiaMan 38 - jimdahl

Bohl's defense at NDSU never really had big defensive ends either. His system looks for the DEs to get up field and cause havoc. Average sized but quick DE is more valued. A huge key to Bohl's system, and the Tampa 2, is the MLB and the safeties. NDSU has had those three positions very solid for at least the last five years and that's been a big part of their success. How well Bohl's Wyoming MLB and safeties understand the Tampa 2 system and responsibilities will determine how successful that defense is.

The costs would probably stay under $25k, but you are looking at far more than a day. You have to strip the floor, sand off the old logo and sand the whole floor so it looks right, paint the new logo on, let it dry completely, and then reapply sealant/clear finish and probably three coats of it. I'm thinking full week minimum, more likely 10 to 14 days before the playing surface is usable again.

No, Dumba lost lane control. Dumba moved to his left trying to close down the middle and instead gave half the zone to Patrick Kane before he could recover.

From http://und.edu/nickname/ The non-consideration list is based on: They can't be serious. "Pioneers.com" is taken today but not by DU. Would DU drop/not use their current nickname? Miami of the NCHC's website? Not Redhawks.com but MURedhawks.com University of Michigan's website? Wolverines.com? No ... it's mgoblue.com

Yeah, but the few won.

From a secret hidden camera tucked away in Twamley 404 ...

Agree.

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.

Anyone else notice UNDErmines can also be written as undermines. It was just pointed out to me.

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.

I suspect Nokota (horse) and Nakota (tribe name) were confused by the "rocket surgeon" that put those lists together.

My top 6 (not saying all survived): Rough Riders Reapers Torch Ghost Riders Mjolnir / Hammers Nokota

Are we sure UND Aviation wants to be known as Bad...landers?

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.

So don't believe anything you see on either list.

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.

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.

Most of the time you're on something.
