  1. We'll see how it goes, but it is kind of funny how that blind devotion can sway people. I think that is how the NDSU football team can dismiss a lot of the things that went on. When I hear so much about "culture" by the top programs, and then I see some of the discipline or lack thereof that goes with actions, it leads me to believe that fan bases will be willing to excuse a lot of behavior in the namesake of winning. Guess we can look back on some of these threads and see people's top 5 choices and then how they evolved when the powers that be have spoken.
  2. Glad you have a mind of your own.
  3. I think when nobody has any concept at what is could be, it opens itself up to this interpretation. The other options you have some idea about a logo at least.
  4. You mean, kind of like Schlossman's disingenuous information about Teddy Rooosevelt. Remember when reporter's were supposed to report the news?
  5. I think if Nodaks comes down to the final two, they should have a logo drawn up, because if people are thinking it is going to just basically be North Dakota, and you end up having a figure like in Sicatoka's post, that is quite the eye opener. To me if they choose Nodak's, and don't have a logo, your marketing is going to be terrible. I do have to laugh at the students chanting "Sioux Forever", when some have never been on campus when it was the nickname.
  6. The process is coming to an end, but the Grand Forks Herald will keep this alive for the next 20 years.
  7. Then where is his outrage, and yours for that matter in North Dakota giving out the Roughrider Award as the highest honor in the state? ... that's what I thought.
  8. Tell that to the Sioux people.
  9. Yet somehow none of us knew! Funny how that works when you are trying to create a national brand, and not worried about local confusion.
  10. I understand in women's hockey you are recruiting more to the school than the facilities because education is a foremost consideration, but shouldn't both of those factors put us ahead of Bemidji? Regardless, it is hard to watch that kind of hockey. You would think there would be more offense without checking. Don't seem to have capitalized on the Lamoureux era.
  11. Half full at Mariucci against Duluth, compared with packed house against Bemidji at the Ralph. State of hockey, huh?
  12. To use the name Nodaks with the Sioux logo.
  13. Really? You honestly think there is any chance at all for that to happen?
  14. ... says the guy who is so focused on UND being behind on payments to contractors.
  15. And I didn't mean to imply that you, or Brad Berry were saying or thinking we were better than other schools. Just meant it as a precaution not to follow the Saintly Gopher crowd.
  16. Wondering where that guy that left Maine is playing now. Haven't seen his name back in the USHL since the start of the year, or is he injured now?
  17. Depends on the character issue I suppose. It is one thing to have standards, but sometimes second chances are in order. See Matt Frattin, Brandon Bochenski, etc. Don't think we should act like we are better than other schools in that regard, as it is all subjective on who deserves a second chance. I would hope that there are some character issues that are so beyond acceptable that no team would put their neck out for, but who knows.
  18. Great, glad we can agree on that!
  19. ... and Teddy came out west to kill a bison.
  20. ... but Phil Jackson supported it, so it must be PC!
  21. Mike Jacobs and the politically correct administration at UND are in lockstep.
  22. Did I miss something from the article? How does the choice North Dakota relate to the Sioux people?
  23. After watching the 3 on 3 overtime versus Manitoba and some of the NHL games, I would bet that the Big Ten will need to follow the NCHC in adopting that format. The advantage of adapting to all the space and defending issues along with the difficulty of line changes sure would be a minor advantage for a league looking to prepare players for the next level, especially high end talent that may encounter 3 on 3 at both levels.
  24. I would add that for the environmental crowd, that as the article I posted earlier stated, his passion for conservation came from his time and experiences in North Dakota, so many of the things he accomplished in that realm as President might have not come to pass had he not stepped foot in North Dakota.
  25. I guess I have no problem with taking the name Rough Riders when North Dakota is the reason that name is even a part of history.
