The Sicatoka

That was a diversity addition.

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 ... )

Took you guys this long to figure it out?

Today verifies my prior position.

No consistency; names showing up on both lists; something about this is half baked.

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

And that's not a typo.

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!

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?

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

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

So we are moving to your/you're next? I was so hoping for assure/ensure/insure.

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.

I'm not running the numbers until Monday morning.

So you ignored the fight in Vegas?

I said long, long ago, when the old name was retired, that people who care about UND Athletics should demand an immediate replacement. Why? Because all we've effectively done is cede the power and control away from those of us who were engaged and paying full attention to a bunch of folks who have at best self-serving motives*. *Those are normally called weasels.

I think someone is setting UND up to be called the weasels, because that's what an ermine is.

I notice you didn't deny having "Cell Block Tango" from the musical "Chicago". Interesting ...

Did he say ... "commitment"?

Can I get that reposted into a couple threads in the Nickname forum?

It is 36. I have a typo in my original post. The updated version: 51 - UND-RedSox fan 41 - The Sicatoka 40 - Ray77 39 - jimdahl 37 - fight on sioux 36 - andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!! 32 - MafiaMan

You were fine ... until now.

Hey Weasel, uh, ... I mean Ermine, What would you think of the name Corona? Any insights?

Once a weasel, always a weasel.

Let's see, I think I'm getting a flashback, or an echo ... left to right red, green, yellow, and orange feathers, ... almost looks like a head dress, ... on a black hawk. Hmmm ...
