I highly doubt that, especially at the national media level where it truly matters.

I hear it a lot and cringe every time its brought up. Here are just a few examples of where it was part of the in-game story line: 1. UND men's basketball vs. Kansas Jayhawks 2. UND football vs. Fresno State 3. UND football vs. San Diego State 4. UND football vs.San Jose State 5. UND football vs. Idaho 6. UND basketball vs. Wisconsin 7. UND women's basketball vs. Texas A&M 8. UND football vs. Missouri St. 9. UND men's basketball at Utah 10. UND men's basketball at Marquette 11. UND men's baskeball at Minnesota Gophers

That sounds like a difference without a distinction. You mean if you're an activist member, you're not a regular member.

These nebulous "potential donors" that many who want no nickname keep referring to are about has hazy and imminent as those "potential NCAA and Big Sky sanctions and penalties" that the new nickname crowd likes to trot out. Hell, if we stay just "North Dakota," I'm expecting Phase II of the HPC to get shovels in the ground this fall and for all of our athletic scholarship issues to be a thing of the past with all the donations that are going to start rolling in.

You beat me to it.

I certainly would. The University means more to me than what we call ourselves on the athletics field.

Well there's this. At least the Hockey SID gets the bigger picture. https://twitter.com/UNDSID/status/624592044237811712/photo/1

Staving off the tide of knee-jerk revisionism.

Really never has. It's just that no one ever pays attention unless it is about something ultra important that the public can wrap its collective head around.

They (the GOBC) have been eerily quiet of late, haven't they?

It's a legit blog.

Welcome to the world of public sausage, er, I mean, policy making! I. am. not. surprised!

Ha! I just saw that, too!

Who knows? I was wrong on the committee keeping it in the running the other day. It just seems like whenever anything like this happens and folks start sharpening their pitchforks -- whether it be on campus with faculty or in the public domain -- the Kelley administration has succumbed to those pressures.

My gut, knowing Kelley, is he will add "North Dakota" back into the mix for consideration. He very often capitulates to public opinion.

Good point. I did notice KG's tone change from diplomatic in the first meetings to exasperated by Tuesday night. Somewhere in the middle some of the "fellas" must have taken him for a ride down by the East River to let him know what was good for him -- an offer he couldn't refuse.

It was important for Schloss to parrot the company line lest he be made a pariah and get snubbed for interviews by those he covers. He wouldn't want to lose his year-round access to the corner office in the Honorary Virg "I'm no homer" Foss press box at REA now would he? I kid, I kid! ( ;

I'm pretty sure that the committee comprised volunteers and were not paid to do this specific work, unless you mean simply, "a public committee."

I was there in the stands that day.... and I think at the time I live posted on here that Geno was the better floor general and was impressing the hell out of me. I also think I speculated he might have his shirt pulled. In hindsight, I am glad they did not, because now we have four full years to watch him grow.

Sprinkle in a few natties here and there and it just might.

He never gave up his love and adoration for the old symbols either.

Why is fightingsioux4life's screen name a lie when all it does is reflect that he holds the old Fighting Sioux nickname and logo in high regard in his heart and always will just the same as you have always stated you do?

I perused through last year's Orange Bowl, where JIS played on kick-off coverage for Miss. State. He's got speed and a motor that doesn't stop. On both of his solo tackles, he busted through opposing blocks and some of his own players to beat them to the tackle. Welcome aboard!

It was always my dark horse fave!
