"Spirit" and "Pride" need to die, post haste.

Have to agree. Tom would sometimes buy us drinks at Whitey's or Frenchy's and tell all sorts of great stories. Unfortunately, I doubt we'd find another like him, buit I wouldn't mind seeing retired military step into the role. Most academics are nowhere close to being a "student's president".

Well, TB is the "future" of hockey ... being young, and located in Sun-drenched, non-hockey playing Floriduh ...

It's probably this mess, and look at the sources. Nothing like citing yourself ... http://252fwww.turtletrack.org/Issues08/CO110108/AIMascots08.pdf

They've obviously been brain-washed and marginalized by racist supporters of Indian oppression ...

Not sure about Ames, but I still wear Sioux gear around Des Moines and get nothing but compliments on it even from some Democrat partisans.

These eggheads missed a golden opportunity to call for the North Dakota and South Dakota to drop the "Dakota" lest some thin-skinned snob be offended.

Trade him to Cleveland and the Browns can feature the "Head Case Twins" in the backfield.

Gone? Did you say "gone"? Nothing is gone until we decide it is! Was it gone when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no! Otter: Germans? Boon: Forget it, he's delusional.

What are you talking about? That's a "Prairie Dog ... From Hell".

Agree. I submit for belated consideration ...

No, shot with an anti-aircraft gun.

Until the Flyers get shellacked by the Rangers or Caps.

Some are already sharpening their knives ... http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/sports/flyers/Flyers-hire-Dave-Hakstol-as-head-coach.html

Honestly, I had to check the date to make sure it wasn't April 1. Anyway, best of luck to Hak.

Agree. He was my pick to replace Blais. I'd love to see him back on the Sioux bench. (And yes, for as long as I have breath, it will be the "Sioux bench" to me. )

They're taxpayer dollars, so who cares? -typical public higher education administrator

"ClusterFlickers"? I like it! - Anon. UND Administrator

With any luck, a new moniker will be among Kelley's last official acts before he retires, or is ridden out of GF on a rail.

Well, I hope they start making decisions soon rather than drag this clusterf**k out any longer than it already has been ...

"Cowboyistan" ... I like it. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/23/business/energy-environment/new-balance-of-power.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&module=second-column-region&region=top-news&WT.nav=top-news

Agree. I've been to a number of games there in the past. Their fanbase seems to be a mix of natives with no clue about hockey, and transplants who know more about the game. However, they tend to be vocal and pretty loyal. And downtown Nashville can be a lot of fun.

For an allegedly "progressive" state, Minnesota has some of the most arcane alcohol laws I've ever seen. No Sunday sales, limited hours, e.g., 10 PM close in some places, you can't buy anything but 3.2 beer in grocery stores and gas stations, etc.
