  1. Eradicated? No. Do I want to make sure it doesn't become the de facto "official unofficial" name and we're back on the list? Yes. Don't believe that could happen? Can the NCAA control you as a fan, a booster, and what you say today? Yes, yes, it can. Do I want to make sure we don't look like a bunch of yokels who use a loophole (if there really is a loophole) to renege on a contract? Yes. Am I dissatisfied with our neighbors at Spirit Lake and Standing Rock (at least the tribal governments) and wish to see them reap the rewards of their actions? Yes, yes I do.
  2. C'mon, you know what that "casual slogan" would be. That's why I still say "no nickname" is just a ruse to keep using the retired name.
  3. May != September To quote the former Federal Reserve Board chair, " ... irrational exuberance ... "
  4. ... unless it's the game that keeps a team out of the playoffs, or gets them in.
  5. The victims: http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/local/3753593-victims-fatal-wal-mart-shooting-identified The (alleged) shooter: http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/local/3753801-air-force-releases-information-alleged-wal-mart-shooter Reactions: http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/local/3752920-willis-friends-taken-aback-shooting-grand-forks-wal-mart
  6. So "Badlanders" is popular in the Fargo newspapers unscientific survey. Does UND Aerospace want to be associated with the name bad landers?
  7. Contribute is the wrong word. UND paid part of the cost and retains partial ownership of the turf.
  8. The old nickname seems to have taken on near religious status with some.
  9. Noise, allow me to offer some sanguine advice:
  10. Agree with Wednesday numbers. Remember this: After last night I now need Getzlaf to go 13-13-26 to take the lead.
  11. Which appendage.
  12. I suspect (similarly to when I proposed "Mafia" and got MafiaMan's imprimatur) that Taz Boy will approve.
  13. Lame was defined in a GF Herald article that I quoted on the prior page: Examples? Well, as dakota said: Spirit, Force, ...
  14. Now, for the real information about what happened today in Grand Forks at the 32nd Avenue Walmart. http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/local/3752585-updated-930-am-2-killed-1-hospitalized-shooting-grand-forks-walmart GFPD expects to be able to provide more information later today.
  15. RE: The Twins' season
  16. Now if I could just get Getzlaf to have a 12 goal, 12 assist, 24 point, game to overtake first place ...
  17. Vote for it?
  18. I wasn't doing this over the weekend. Here's what I have on the morning of Tue May 26: 112 - Ray77 89 - The Sicatoka 84 - UND-RedSox fan 65 - MafiaMan 57 - andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!! 55 - jimdahl 44 - fight on Sioux
  19. They're public figures open to public scrutiny. And they're not murdered.
  20. Discussion of what happened this morning at Walmart in Grand Forks is timely and worthy of a thread in this forum. Making light of the situation, when family members probably haven't been notified yet, much less have any idea of the circumstances, is untimely at best.
  21. If dagies hadn't shut it down one of the other moderators would have. Very poor form.
  22. 4-4 Toews The call from the WLS radio guy? "Holy crap!" <-- direct quote
  23. That was a massive run: Spring 1997: WBB and MIH Spring 1998: WBB Spring 1999: WBB Spring 2000: MIH Fall 2001: FB That's six titles in a five year window. And that doesn't count the near misses in the window. Those are some mighty and lofty expectations to set and meet.
  24. Sundogs will forever be linked to the folks that started this whole mess. It is divisive on that point alone and must be summarily rejected on that point alone.
  25. Uh, a nickname should be unifying per the committee's own criteria. Didn't we just come from an allegedly "divisive" name and now we should pick something that each person "could project their own meaning on to" ... good or bad. That in itself is divisive, not unifying.
