  1. I have always thought that Rough Riders was a lame name for Red River. Having it at UND would even be worse.

    That's a valid opinion. What would you propose would be a good nickname for UND?

  2. I've always liked Rough Riders (Roughriders, or however it would be written.) IrishSiouxFan isn't out of line on this one. Much too much is made out of the Red River High School vs. Central thing, or even just the fact that UND would have the same nickname as a high school in the same community. It's an idea worth considering as much as any other. No one's opinion's should be outright discounted, but then again no one constituency (Central grads) should have more input into the process over another. Roughriders is very unique outside of Grand Forks, and I think two schools in the same community that share much the same cultural and state historical backgrounds could celebrate having the same nickname with little or no problem.

  3. I will be thrilled if we can come out of this weekend 1-2. I will be absolutely through-the-roof ecstatic if we can make it 2-1. After seeing how they played this morning against #5 in the nation, UND should be able to notch a win against these solid teams. Just don't get complacent!

  4. Just wasn't in the cards against one of the toughest teams in the nation. UND drops final set 25-21. So sets went 25-20, 25-23, 25-21 for USC. A first year Division I tournament eligible team takes an established VB powerhouse and drops 20+ on them in each set in their first match of the year. It's probably all down hill from here for UND until tourney time, if that's in the cards. Way to make us proud, ladies!

  5. hey now I've been putting alot into the hype for this season and have gone to alot of practices and given alot of insight. Don't care is how I feel about the women's tennis team. I'll be at every game this year and have never been apathetic towards the football program. That said the bandwagon fans need something to jump on to.

    You're not the problem. It's the rest of the community. They'll support a winner, I guess. So the boys gotta get out there and produce and the people will come. Totally agree on the bandwagoners -- and the students.

  6. you really didn't make an argument here. Online education will always be a second-rate alternative for a few people with no good options, and provide degrees of dubious merit, while simultaneously missing the most important part of many degree programs, which is the networking.

    That's another way to look at it, I guess. A glass half-empty way, per usual. Buck up and smile a little; life ain't so bad all the time. ;)

  7. i think putting down bismarck state 'university' is something both ndsu and UND can get behind. This is all about bismarck continuing to try to legislate it's way to be the biggest city in the state.

    As it is the state doesn't have the population to support either of its premier universities. UND and NDSU might as well be U-M Fargo and U-M Grand Forks.

    And what sense does it make to train nurses and doctors in a place with limited resources and off the charts living expenses, not to mention terrible livability?

    If ND ever builds a second med school, it had better be in Fargo.

    Fargo already has a medical school; it's called the University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences Southeast Campus. :)

  8. Did they even advertise for that? I don't remember hearing anything about it/

    mostly a lot of Social Media advertising ... Twitter, Facebook, UND Web sites. Coach Boyd was on the Big Dogz on KJ 108 on Wednesday morning. I am sure other coaches did the radio circuit too.

  9. As far as I know, they are included in the total headcount. It's SBHE policy that anyone who takes a class for credit at any ND institution is counted at that institution. Now, they're not going get counted as a full-time NDSU student if they're only taking one class. They'll be counted as a part-time student just like an LRSC student who takes an online UND class is counted in the UND total headcount. Obviously a Concordia student taking a class at MSUM(or vice versa) won't be counted by NDSU in any way.

    So we're saying that both schools are counting students correctly within SBHE standards and both schools' numbers reflect legitimate students enrolled at each school. What the heck are we are arguing about then?

  10. Insider data shows:

    Engineering College and Aerospace were the two divisions that grew the most between last year and this year. The Engineering College grew by a whopping 25 percent from 1,227 students to 1,532 students (based on first-day data). Aerospace grew by 13 percent, from 1,295 to 1,462. This means that for the first time, that I can recall, The Engineering College has outdrawn Aerospace in enrollment.

    The Grad School grew by 6 percent percent, from 2,458 to 2,604 students. Another big gainer was BPA, which grew from 1,656 to 1,721, or 4 percent.

    The College of Arts and Sciences increased from 3,041 to 3,127, or nearly 3 percent.

    Medical school (professional) gained 7 students, but the law school declined by 12, with 259 and 240 students, respectively.

    As far as classes go... the freshman class was 291 students more than the first day fall numbers in 2011 at 3,013.

    The sophomore class dropped by 9 students to 2,764.

    The junior class grew by 107 students to 107 to 2,180.

    The senior class grew by 194 students to 3,642

    Beginning freshman numbers grew by 272, or 13 percent to 2,376.

    Transfer student numbers grew by 62 or 7.4 percent to 903.

    These are just some highlights.

  11. No way in hell Hanson will see the field this year. On a lighter note I bet Galladay gets his shirt pulled. I'd put money on it.

    For fun, I'll take that bet! With all respect, I just don't think we need it pulled with our depth at WR. I will give you full props if he gets it pulled though!

  12. He put a great stutter step slow down burst move on that would've been TD. One thing I didn't like by him today was when in goal line he tried move again instead of full speed ahead and ended up fumbling.

    Hmmm? I missed that fumble... got there later than I would have liked. Darn kids!
