It has nothing to do with the name. It's about the logo. He's trying to make an extra buck off of it. This is an old letter that has no doubt been run by the lawyers.
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.

Do they really need it? UND has the history, coaches, facilities to field a great hockey team, will money change that? Say UND pays X amount of dollars to every player while Miami doesn't and UND fails to win the NCHC or make the playoffs while Miami goes to the Frozen Four; you would have an uproar on campus. I think UND is already a leg up on the competition as far as hockey goes, but could use a "boost" in other sports like football, basketball and others.
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.

I just talked to the parent of a '16 recruit that was offered by NDSU and several other FCS schools. When he called his recruiting coach at NDSU to let him know he had chosen another school, the coach's reaction was:
- Silence....then, "Wow, I'm really surprised to hear that."
- "Why would you pick a school that has only had 5 good players in the last five years, when we've had 50?"
- "We'll see your ass on the field..."
- Hung up on the recruit.
- All of the above
And the answer is....#5.
For all of you that have expertise in this area, how is that a sustainable recruiting strategy? That family will forever go out of their way to discourage anyone from going to NDSU based on that experience. Kids change their minds all the time - and to slam the door on a kid that they clearly wanted seems both arrogant and short-sighted. And, really, is that any way for a grown man, supposedly professional, to treat a 17 year-old kid that has made multiple visits to your campus and simply felt called in another direction?
I guess I shouldn't be shocked, but that is some real ugliness coming out of Fargo and seems to be a pattern.
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.

Didn't St Clown State not print the Sioux name and logo and just referred to us as only North Dakota before the NA policy by the NCAA even came out. You know that would be one school once hockey season starts would complain.
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?

The contract was on Faisons desk for a home and home with a year in between. Media boy Faison ran to the herald and turned it down because it had to be an annual game. It's not a conspiracy like many of you like to believe. The contract that your dear leader finally signed was nearly finalized when Gene left for Iowa. Sit down with Brian and ask him about it. Your Gene theory will be deflated in a hurry. Why would he turn down a home and home a year apart yet finally agree to both in Fargo 4 years apart? Faison thought he had some leverage and quickly found out he didn't. He ran to the media with it and then had to try and save face. He's not a good decision maker.
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?It is a buffalo nickel but the PC'ers would have a sh*t fit about it and blame UND for continuing to use it.
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?No, that's not the way it works. To keep it, you have to allow the other team to win it back. If the Nickel doesn't show up in Fargo this fall for the stated reasons, UND loses all rights to the trophy.
-
i don't know for sure but I bet they don't fly the confederate battle flag at those bases.You are aware multiple US military bases are named after Confederate generals right?
-
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.
-
Now I'm not a true stakeholder? Be careful your inner child is starting to show! You have no idea what I donate to the UND, the season tickets I buy, or the college my children are or will be going to!
You stay classy!
By the way, I still agree with Siouxphan and not you...I'm done.
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.

I don't like Sun Dogs as much as anyone but this wlole idea of a nickname instilling fear in opponents has me intrigued. Does that really even happen because of a nickname or is it the calibre of play from one's opponents that instills the fear or lack there of? I mean c'mon, Gophers? Jackrabbits? I'm shaking in my boots at the mere sound of them!
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?

Find me a state that has produced more "home grown" terrorists that have tried or are enabling ISIS and the like than MN.
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 agree with your assessment of Bohl's version of the Tampa 2 defense. On that note, the two-deep that Wyoming just released has their two starting safeties as freshman and their starting MLB as a player from Germany who played TE last season. Given that information, I don't expect Wyoming to field anything close to resembling a dominating defense.
Although an FBS transfer or two this summer could change things, UND's offense is going to be average at best this season. The key, like Geaux_Sioux said, is how UND goes about moving it. If they can run the ball downhill, it will compliment UNDs defense well enough that it could lead to several wins.
I expect the UND-Wyoming game to be close. Wyoming is by no means a top Mountain West Conference program yet, so UND should be able to compete.
I don't believe an FBS transfer to Wyoming would be eligible right away unless he had already graduated.

I read that Trent Pink (Elk River) and Henry Van Dellen (Providence Academy) from MN had good preformances at the Nike Elite 11 in Chicago. I believe Bubba and staff are recruiting both of these QB's.
I assume Henry Van Dellen is the son of Henry Van Dellen from EGF originally who is a UND grad.

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.
