Good lord. Cedar Rapids RoughRiders' owner - Letter to UND

Nicely played jdub, nicely played.

Dozier was 25 in his rookie year, Sano is 22. That makes a huge difference. Dozier will be 31 when his current deal is up. It is understandable that the Twins didn't want to lock him up any further.

Ha! If he has checked, I suspect they told him "try it first and then we'll let you know". If Kelley knows they won't approve and he's keeping it in his back pocket, that would be despicable. But I believe that he has asked, and its the NCAA that is keeping their answer in reserve.

Nodaks has always been a semi-unofficial type of nickname for not only UND, but the entire state. I think it can stay as such. Having it as an "official" name is not much different than having no nickname at all, in my opinion.

When I want to refer to a Minnesotan as a witless dullard, I call him a "gopher".

This is from Bismarck Tribune article - supposedly a pic from UND yearbook of a Freshman team. Not sure of date, before 1930.

Perhaps you can lead the way by changing your username.

Lots of vitriol on here for people that wanted to continue with no nickname. I personally thought it would be unique but understand the reasons for wanting to move away from the idea that we are holding on to the Sioux name; so I have no problem with it being off the table. It is time to move on. And it is clear now that "North Dakota" was never an option for the administration and the majority of the committee. Fine. But then it should have been off the table at the beginning - they should have simply stated "we are committed to moving forward with a new nickname". It would have been the respectful thing to do. But instead they chose to take a giant dump on the many, many supporters of the University who wanted no nickname, the vast majority of whom are fine people who care just as much about UND as anyone on this board. The committee strung the option along, then had a meeting whose only purpose was to remove it and nothing else**. It was the right thing to do and the absolute wrong way to do it. **Green Hawks and Fighting Hawks are two options of the same name, so one had to be eliminated.

Disturbing story. Winnipeg is Canada's most violent metro area and has been since the 80s. It didn't get the nickname "Murderpeg" for nothing. But to be fair, it's violent crime rates are average to below average compared to those of U.S. metro area's.

No more Magic Storm, 2013-14 was the last year. Munich is now with Langdon in all sports, and Starkweather is with North Star (Cando).

They each get $400,000 in base salary for coaching. However, when you add in extra compensation for appearances and institutional speaking, Auriemma will get $2.06 million this year and Ollie $1.3 million. Jim Calhoun was scheduled to receive $3.0 million in his final year (he retired before the end of his contract).
