Are you referring to the selection of the new nickname or this thread? :)

Wow! A well thought-out and intelligent post...must be a first for this thread.

This thread gives me fatigue...the same people rehashing the same arguments...quite a schism of fans we got going here; Sioux Forever, No Nicknamers, North Dakota/UND only, New Nicknamers/Pro Change (sorry if I left some out)...throw in the usual trolls and idiots and it makes for some real interesting reading.

I wonder if our friends at Jan Brady State are still licking their wounds after the beating North Dakota gave them in last years regional final. http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/3821221-und-hockey-st-cloud-state-latest-nchc-school-adopt-restrictive-ticket This kind of crap is BS but the UND fans usually find a way to work around the ticket restrictions. SCSU doesn't sell out their games normally so there should be tickets available the day of the game. People going in large groups can meet the 20 ticket requirement to avoid having to purchase for additional games. I guess in a way, it's a compliment to how dedicated UND fans are when it comes to supporting their team on the road. Hope we kick their ass.

So OT will be 4 on 4, then a session with 3 on 3, and if necessary a shootout. Why not just have a hardest shot competition?

I think you meant 2000 and 1997.

Ryan Bayda is still playing over in Germany.

Not true but way to stereotype the entire group.

Will NOT force Roberto's hand IMHO.

Wow! That was quite a leap you made there...Bob Beamon would be proud.

Sorry MAC, I'm pretty sure that comment was directed towards Miami....jk...;)

Nice reference :)

Will this survey have any impact on the final ballot choices? Kelley has already said he would consider putting North Dakota back on the ballot. Will this make him STRONGLY consider putting North Dakota on the ballot? (assuming that's the way the students vote)

Don't hold your breath on this...Robrto will be laying low until he finally announces that he will NOT allow North Dakota as a nickname choice then ride out the storm until his retirement in December.

On the menu or crawling around on the floor?;)

Isn't it Bison Turd? :)

Gotcha

...while swimming with a dolphin...

Let us know if you come up with one.

Don't remember the details of that...why all the uproar then?

Kind of like the same arguments for and against the new nickname.

Any updates on Auston Matthews?

I voted for you but it felt like sucking up.

Sure, but the NCAA can just take their ball and go home and UND is left to twist in the wind...gotta play their game by their rules.

So Kelley knew this all along (allegedly) and his statement last week to consider "North Dakota" as a viable nickname option was just done to quell the firestorm of social media outrage. There's no way "North Dakota" is on the final ballot IMHO.
