I don't have the answer. Does <no nickname> keep UND in the clear? Do you?

Rough Riders it is!! One word or two? Let's put it to a vote.

I'm just speaking for myself. Maybe the people in charge already know what the NCAA thinks. And if they don't, the NCAA is inevitably weigh in whether we like it or not. If <no nickname> isn't viable, then eliminate it. If <no nickname> is compliant to the terms of the agreement, have a contingency plan, because we know the NCAA bureaucrats can be a fickle bunch.

Outcomes I'm alright with: 1. Roughriders 2. <no nickname> 3. <no nickname>, if things get dicey with the NC$$ then Roughriders by executive fiat at a future point.

Goehring is the one pushing North Stars I'd bet.

I'm on board. There are about 10-12 thousand Red River HS and alumni and another 20,000 or so GF residents that get bent out of shape, the rest of the country could care less. It's unique and North Dakotan, let's roll with it.

Under the process that's been defined I'm fearful we will end up with the least desirable name of the three.

If North Dakota doesn't make the final three, I think we're in big big trouble.

How many "what would Ralph do" threads do we need?

Hope Solo would beat any of us within an inch of our lives.

Dear committee, Please end the "North Star" madness. Sincerely, Everybody with an ounce of sanity

Too Christian.

Does Goon have a vote?

And if we really think we are in the clear, North Dakota is fine as well!

Same. I like Cavalry but if they didn't have the stomach for Nokota I don't see that one panning out either.

What is Ed Schaefer doing these days? Lobbying?

Wonder where he gets distribution?

Tampering would imply that new information or insights are being brought to the table. Nothing to see or worry about here. Next!

History says Berry will be here a decade or so. I wouldn't read that part into it. Unless Hakstol becomes wildly successful and poaching from the U.S. collegiate ranks becomes the fashionable thing to do.

Scott Arniel and his wife continue to make their home in Winnipeg. GF is a lot closer than NYC...just sayin'

Tony Granato? Just throwing darts here.

I'm thinking the same.

How do deal with southern speed? Recruit speed. See: Ohio State.

I don't disagree. Any intense dislike I had has evolved to indifference, unfortunately.
