As a 'transplanted' NoDak, I have never understood the North Dakota/Roughrider tie. The Spanish American War, San Juan Hill, yep, North Dakota not so much. When I think of Roughriders and North Dakota, I think of RRHS hockey.

No to being named after a GF high school team, no to being just another Hawk, no to being named for the state of Minnesota's state motto, and no to being named after a sun halo/shadow. I vote for NoDak. It's the closest to North Dakota, it's representative of who we are, it's unique, it's short and to the point.

Lots of service stations in larger cities have the partitions. I've always wondered if this resulted in an increase in shop lifting.

The clerks need tazers or mace.

One child involved in prostitution is one too many.

Totally agree, racial politics has hijacked this thread.

His love of hockey and children left a great legacy in North Dakota.

Not a good way to start the season for Hudson Walton, http://www.wday.com/news/crime/3828477-und-freshman-linebacker-arrested-drinking-and-driving

'These killers act knowing that their ploy is likely to work, and that their faces, words and vicious deeds will be splashed on our screens on their terms.' http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/the-virginia-shooter-wanted-fame-let’s-not-give-it-to-him/ar-BBmaHW6

MY opinion is based on information I gleaned from what has been posted by the media. And, yes, were this a white man with the same employment/firing history as this black murderer who killed a black man and a black woman and he left what you call a 'manifesto' and what I call bull crap, I would be singing the same tune. Unlike too many people who base their opinions on the color of the skin one wears, my opinions are based on what information is available.

It's been reported this murderer had an anger problem that resulted in his losing more than one job. IMO, his suicide letters were a bunch of crap he put together in an attempt to make himself a 'hero' to certain factions after his death. His murders were nothing more than his being pissed off that he was fired. Again this is just my opinion.

Black disgruntled ex-employee shoots ex-fellow employees/boss = hate crime? White disgruntled ex-employee shoots ex-fellow employees/boss = mental illness?

There are all types of 'immigrants' moving to the mid-west. I recently cared for a young, single, unemployed, American-born mother of three who had just moved to North Central Minnesota from Florida. All of her support systems were in Florida except for one friend who had encouraged this young lady to move to Minnesota. Her answer to why had she moved to Minnesota was 'the benefits' (medical assistance, housing assistance, welfare assistance, food stamps, etc.) are a lot better in Minnesota than Florida'. She is not an uncommon 'immigrant'. I bet there are more people like her settling in the midwest than those imported by LSS. Can she and 'her kind' be refused residence or can she be deported back to Florida?

Why???

You moved to Wisconsin?

What's to stop the crowd from yelling Sioux instead of Sundogs?

'This isn’t about the virtues of that nickname. That debate’s immaterial, because the NCAA’s threat of sanctions deemed it so. This is about a university committee failing to hear its constituency, and capitulating.' http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/north-dakota-angers-fans-with-fighting-sioux-replacements-125418642.html

IMO, the decision as to what the new name will be has already been decided by the committee majority and Kelley. Asking the public to vote on a name is a smoke screen invented to appease students, alumni, and fans. I hope I'm wrong.
