"Norse" should not work under the NCAA's "RENO" rule ... the rule that caused the demise of the last moniker.
RENO -- no monikers relating to Race, Ethnicity, or National Origin.
Then again, they only seem to selectively enforce that rule.

Flood of 2013?
It's ba-a-a-a-ack ...

*I assumed Carlson was behind this from some of the earlier posts.
Is Al Carlson behind this? Can't say; don't know.
Will he willingly use this to keep working toward his end goal (dissolution of the ND SBoHE and return of those powers to the Legislature)? Oh yeah ...

We finally deal with the UND moniker.
And the fiscal issues at NDSU (Dr. Chapman).
And Dr. Shirvani and the turmoil of his tenure as NDUS chancellor.
Now this:
NDSU president accused of destroying 45,000 emails subject to an open records request
http://www.inforum.c...icle/id/404107/
Welcome to the next round of Al Carlson and his Cabal claiming ND SBoHE and the NDUS is completely out of control and looking to wrest control over ND Higher Ed back into the Legislature.
Thanks Dr. Bresciani.
Edit: Fargo Forum headline updated to:
NDSU president denies deleting 45,000 emails subject to open records request; state AG investigating

I think we should have a picture of something in ours that represent North Dakota or Grand Forks. What would that be though?
The endzone is flat and level. It's either green or has a white overlayer.
What more representative do you want? Replace the corner pylons with sandbags maybe?

Apparently I'm supposed to insult you.
Let me see...
Uh, your mother dresses you funny?
Does that count?
Weak, weak, weak. Try something like this:
You're such a pitiful soul that you are out at bars by yourself after closing, hitting on females out of your league (by your own admission), getting into alley brawls, fleeing law enforcement, and then giving Jerry Springer worthy confessionals in the back seat of a squad car.
That would be an insult.

Someone really just admitted unfamiliarity with the word "secede"?
<facepalm>

Since we are playing scenarios that are out there ...
Let's say the DU/UNO/Summit gambit happens. That'll probably be a couple years out from now. By then the negative gate impact of Big Ten Hockey will have hit UMn/UW. That means UMn/UW will need something to respark their fan bases (because PSU and OSU won't offer the spark).
And now the Big Ten has opened the precedent to affiliate members (Johns Hopkins lacrosse in the new Big Ten Lax).
So, I say let DU/UNO try that gambit, and then have UND apply (beg?) the Big Ten to let UND play as a hockey affiliate.
Hey, I said "out there" ...

I'm guessing he's a nightmare for administrators to work with and other institutions know it.
I've had an athletics administator at an NCHC school say as much to me.

If you weren't aware of it, southern Alberta is taking a massive beating right now.
High River, AB, Corbin Knight's hometown, is a virtual lake. At least three have died in the flooding.
The water is up to row nine in the home of the Calgary Flames.

Most of downtown Calgary is flooded.
Looks like another time for the good people of Grand Forks to mentor those facing an ugly recovery process.
To those of you facing this mess, stay safe.

The referees' whistles are on the side of a milk carton.
The non-call on the Frolik trip with 15 seconds to play is just stunning. Basically anything less than manslaughter is no call. Manslaughter is a two-minute minor.

The top 5 conferences have to come up with a way to 'legally' separate themselves ...
That way is completely easy and predictable: Secede.
The NCAA is a completely voluntary association.
Secede and create "The SPATT" ... short for Sec, Pac12, Acc, big Ten, big Twelve.
-
The conferences will do whatever they decide is in their best interests, ...
<ding>
Winner.
PS - That decision will be based not on some wonderful altruistic view of college football, but, quite simply, just The Benjamins.
-
Observations:
- Leddy has been terrible*. Finally "The Q" sits him.
- It seems only two types of penalties get called: too many men or high sticks.
- Crawford is a headcase on anything high glove right now. Paging Mr. Emery, Mr. Ray Emery ... please report to the blue painted ice ...
*and not just because he's a stinkin' Goldie.

The admittedly wonderful looking but will we ever see it drawings of a new football stadium on the site of Memorial did not show a track encircling the field. Those drawings envisioned an outdoor track and soccer area (and second parking ramp) in the area that is now a parking lot east of Columbia Road and south of University.
That says to me that (a) there is room for the ITF to come west, and (b) the ITF Phase 2 might be "under" an east grandstand of such a football stadium.
-
Repeat after me, "The NCAA is a voluntary organization." The member schools of the big 5 conferences are voluntary members of the NCAA. If they decide to leave the NCAA, and take the money with them, they can do so without penalty.
For a group that recently, gleefully told UND fans "the NCAA is a voluntary organization" they sure don't seem to understand that when it could come around and gore their ox (or bison).

Just watched the squad car video where he says that he was hitting on a woman out of his league ....
So ... not sheep ...

Go to UND.
Wear 19 in NHL for Chicago.
Win Selke.

I'd like to see some of the seats reused in the new IPF, whether it is just as part of some kind of historical display, or as part of the actual spectator seating.
That's not a bad idea ...

Are you Rob Port?
He is a college student that made a mistake while drunk. it has happened before and it will happen again and again and again and again. Not sure why people continue to want to make this into some huge ordeal.
Why?
The problem concerns me; what comes after is what I'm interested in.
This is not Mister Beck's first problem involving alcohol and fleeing from law enforcement. That's my interest.
UND has four hockey guys short scholarship dollars for a second alcohol incident that didn't involve fleeing.
I'm interested to see how NDSU handles this problem (which also has the overhanging issue of violence/agreeing to a fight).
-
I thought agreeing to public brawling (aka a bar fight in a back alley) is the definition of "disorderly conduct".
Where are those charges for those involved?
-
This series certainly has the possibility of going 7, doesn't it? Why, oh why does the NBA generate so much hype when the NHL playoffs are infinitely superior?
Because ABC/ESPN owns the broadcast rights and they marketing (ESPN) what they are producing (on ABC).

Mr. Bohl has a teachable moment.
What will he teach.

Guys, I was pointing out that 'the marble' didn't go pocket to pocket in OT like it normally does.
New Nickname
in UND Nickname
Posted
Why would Rough Riders work? Because many states use the state nickname as the flagship university's moniker. And what is ND's nickname? The Rough Rider State.
Why would Reapers work? Because of history and future. Farmers of the distant past were called reapers. More recently grain harvesting equipment was called a reaper (the McCormick reaper). Because of the ag focus, use that theme on green uniforms. Today there's a UAV designated the MQ-9 Reaper. Use that theme with white jerseys. And the (Grim) Reaper most of us think about with that word? Black jersey.
