  1. Holy sh**.  Just read 4 pages of this garbage.  What a waste of a thread.  The chant is fine.  If you are offended write a letter to somebody.  Many worse chants out there.  A person can't order a Happy Meal these days without getting offended.  Just imagine a teenage goth girl saying, "I don't want to be happy."  Direct your good intentions to something that matters. 

  2. I'm sorry to hear you're struggling. Rather than wait for squirtcoach's change jar, or spending more time on SS, you might be better off looking at one of these 3,000+ jobs in Cass county. http://www.indeed.com/jobs?q=&l=Cass+county%2C+nd 

    Thanks man appreciate the support.  You guys are so welcoming on here and treat everyone with such respect.  Nobody gets put down for expressing their opinions regarding which nickname they like most.  It is such a warm feeling to have so many people looking out for me during these dark times.  My god people.  Over your head too?

  3. $70 for gas in a 40 mpg Sentra

    $200 for hotel room for two nights

    $200 for for beer and food

    $160 for tickets

    Divided by 4.

    $160 each.

    Three days road tripping with my son, my brother and nephew and watching my hockey team, Priceless.

    If $160 for a weekend of family fun is "rich people problems", times must be pretty tough.

    I have some used clothes you can have, and a pond you can wash in. I have a change jar. I'm feeling for ya.

    Or talk to GFhockey, Hell, he drops that in one night at Augie's in March :D

    Reading sarcasm isn't something you do well I guess.  Times are super tough in my household and would gladly take you up on the pond to wash up in, and that change jar just might have enough money in it to buy gifts for my two boys from Santa for Christmas. 

  4. They should have had 2 press releases already made.  The results would have been known at midnight and the release should have gone out around 10am this morning along with a press conference.  It really shouldn't be this difficult.

  5. Can't wait for this to be over and start arguing about what the logo should look like.  Either way my sons will be getting new jersey's next year for Christmas as our Sioux gear is getting too small for them.  Should have planned it out better!

  6. OK. @ Siouxphan27 and snooty89, Why would you choose Hawks, something common, over Roughriders, something unique? I think roughrider fans struggle to express their incredulity with this question, and it comes across insulting and condescending.

    I'm cool with either of them.  Voted for Fighting Hawks in the first vote, and Roughriders in the 2nd.  Didn't like Nodaks.  There are many reasons to vote for each choice.  FH- Keeps fighting in the name.  Isn't controversial.  Roughriders- Unique other than a local high school team.  Let's be honest does any other college outside of Grand Forks care that we stole it?  NO.  It is a Grand Forks issue.  Possibilities of a great unique nickname. 

    Just hate being talked down upon when the reality is there is going to be 35% of the voters unhappy that Fighting Hawks is our new nickname with them saying that everyone is so stupid for choosing it.

  7. Completely agree with this thread steering people towards Fighting Hawks.  I'm fine with either, but the more people act like their opinion is more important than others and those that are voting for the Fighting Hawks are the "uninformed" you are digging your own grave.  The arrogance of people on this forum is sad since we are all going for one team when this is all over.

  8. It is actually very entertaining to read all the threads about vote this or vote that.  Voted FH in first vote, RR in second, and could vote either way as the only two I can stand are remaining.  Funny thing is the whole pushing of your favorite or athlete's favorite can push people away instead of bringing them into your corner.  How about someone just makes a single thread of the positives and negatives of each possible winner.  At the end of the day all the name calling will stop and we will need to rally around this change together.

  9. You get only 1 vote. 

    I'm aware of that.  What I am saying is that if a person or group of people were so confident that Roughriders would advance to the final 2 they could in theory vote for another nickname in order to try block the ones that are deemed unacceptable.

  10. So let's assume that Roughriders will be 1 of the two that is in the final 2 for a vote.  So 1 of the other 4 will join it in the final vote.  Is there a risk of having too many people vote for Roughriders while not reaching 50% and having SunDogs be up against it in the finals.  Is there a way to vote in a way to get the 2 most acceptable names in the final 2.  For instance if a person wanted Roughriders, but could live with the Fighting Hawks it isn't unreasonable for them to vote for their 2nd choice to hurt the cause of the other 3 choices.  Sorry for the confusing reply, but I do enjoy reading the boards even if I don't post often. 

  11. Hopefully someone will respond to this or text me.  Don't have much access to the internet during the day to respond to ticket listings.  Frustrating to see 4 tickets available for Saturday 40 bucks a piece when I click on it and see sold after getting excited.  Guess it's just a matter of getting lucky when I get home and look.
