How can this turn into a peeing contest? UND is paying FCOA this year for Men's and Women's hockey. NDSU announced they will do the same for all of their scholarship athletes next year. UND made a similar announcement a few days later. The ND schools are 2 of 3 in the country to do so. We must have better things to fight about.

I played with Tony and he is a good guy although you don't get the kind of money he has without looking out for yourself and your pocketbook. I have no idea if he has a legal leg to stand on but I am sure something could be worked out with him if needed.

the short answer is - Yes we do need to do it.

what was Joe's QB rating last year? I though I saw it at 105 or 108. If that is true I am surprised he didn't get the first shot. Edit: I looked it up: Mollberg - 108.5 rating in 2014 Studsrud - 58.4 rating in 2014 I realize that Studsrud was thrown into the fire but that is quite a difference and am surprised it wasn't Joe's job to lose. Doesn't sound like that was the case this fall.

Not doubting your story but - Classy bunch if that is accurate.

We have hundreds of Somali immigrants working in our factory in the Twin Cities and most do a great job just like any other group of people. The bad ones weed themselves out and the good ones keep their jobs.

I'd buy one too.

yes they did

It seems unrealistic to think that no other school will ever complain to the NCAA if we have no nickname and our fans continue to use the Sioux name and logo. As fans we will continue to use the name and logo so half of that equation is a given. I don't think it will take the NCAA long to come down on us again and we will start this process all over. Ugly.

When I read "will transition to a new nickname, my opinion is that no nickname doesn't satisfy that requirement but I am not well versed in the settlement. The NCAA might see that as a way to continue to use Fighting Sioux. Prob need an opinion from the NCAA on this - the rest of us are just guessing.

Heard rumors of them working on another FBS transfer on d-line. Hope it is true. Sounds like it would be a good get.

I have an image in my mind of UND bb jerseys from 50s or 60s with Nodaks on them. Did that happen or was it a dream?

I was told by a Bison beat writer that Chapman and Taylor told him that they would not allow a football game to be played with UND as long as they were in charge. He said he couldn't write about it because he would be banned from NDSU locker rooms forever if he did. Taylor kept moving the goalposts while stalling and making it less attractive for UND with no intention of ever agreeing to a game. The last offer he threw out there was so one sided that he figured UND would't accept and was intended as another slap in the face for UND as he exited. Bubba called his bluff and signed it anyway. Check out the NDSU press conference when they announced the game. They weren't very happy about it.

no chance it can be played for. UND can't use NA imagery on the field. Let's say UND wins it at some point. What side of it do they show when they run around the field after the game? Indian head side? - can't Buffalo side? - no chance in hell and it wouldn't make sense Maybe the edge of the coin

really? That's a thing?

i don't know for sure but I bet they don't fly the confederate battle flag at those bases.

Pretty simple in my mind. You lost the war against the U.S. so get over it. Your flag shouldn't fly on government property.

I'm surprised that North Stars is in the running. Minnesota is the North Star state - seems like a reach for UND to be the North Stars.

I'm with you. You don't have to be an alum to be a stakeholder. I doubt anybody would claim that most of the current football coaches aren't stakeholders. Bubba is a Jamestown grad.

to strike fear was mostly in jest but a name should be something to rally around. Weather events don't rate very high with me.

This will strike fear in opponents.

Sundogs is a horrible nickname. As is any other weather phenomenon as a name. How the heck is that supposed to inspiring and something to rally around?

to be fair MN has 1/3 of the Somali immigrants that live in the US so you would expect 1/3 of the those that choose to join ISIS from the US would be from MN. whether that number is 3 or 300

I don't believe an FBS transfer to Wyoming would be eligible right away unless he had already graduated.

I assume Henry Van Dellen is the son of Henry Van Dellen from EGF originally who is a UND grad.
