    A Boy Named Sue

    I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named "Sue"
    And he said, "Son, this world is rough
    And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough
    And I know I wouldn't be there to help ya along
    So I give ya that name and I said goodbye
    I knew you'd have to get tough or die
    And it's the name that helped to make you strong"

    Does anyone know what is going into Borrowed Bucks? It looks to be getting a makeover. I have heard it might be Famous Daves but not sure if that is true or not. 

    Rumor is Vinyl Taco and other shops in a strip mall.

    North Dakota CHAMPIONS. We would be the Champs in every endeavor and event we are involved in. We already have a Champions Club. Queen's "We are the Champions" is our new song. If our rivals calls us the "Chumps", it describes exactly who we are to be here in the first place (thanks NC$$).

    Thought for the day (and I imagine this idea will be burned for being bland) I was reading an article today talking about the bighorn sheep population took a hit due to some pneumonia this winter, and my takeaway was " Bighorns" would be a cool nickname. The problem I had was, I just have trouble identifying North Dakota with a bighorn sheep, not sure why, I guess I've never seen a sheep in the badlands could be part of it. 

     

    I kept reading on, and it said moose and elk and all them fair'ed pretty well this winter. Which is cool, but then I thought an elk would make a pretty sweet logo with the big antlers and stuff (think all the cool statues of elk around), but Elk doesn't roll off the tongue. Maybe it doesn't identify any better than bighorn sheep, but I would say they are as representative as a bison (both only exist anymore on  ranches / parks. I think an elk looks cooler too. Teddy Roosevelt described their appearance as "lordly." But it's still kinda weird to say with the hard k ending if you ask me. I thought I would check here if anyone knew a nickname for elk, similar to how "Bighorns" would be cooler than Bighorn Sheep?

    North Dakota Wapiti??

    Your Love for Sioux Hockey

    Growing up in Grand Forks, I can't remember not being a fan. What probably got me hooked on Sioux hockey were the radio broadcasts by the late Doug Tegtmeier. Tim Hennessey is good, but Doug had this beautiful voice and style that really made you feel you were there. Then going to games in the mid 60's mid 70's, my HS & UND years, in the old barn was an experience that cemented it. Seeing players like Lefty Curran, John Marks, Rick Wilson, Bob Munro, Terry Casey (RIP) Dave Kartio, and Dennis Hextall in a "big time" arena (at the time, since most HS games were still played on outdoor rinks) was a big deal. The fans in the old barn were right up against the action on the ice and become part of the game. Many a time that an opposing player would be checked into the chicken wire, that the fans would give a little check from this side or grab the sweater through the wire and hold 'em up a while. The barn experience, with it's ice fog, condensation from the ceiling making interesting ice conditions, smokey warming rooms on each end serving up super hot, hot chocolate and hot Dr. Peppers did it for me.
