Screw Dora............we want Boots!

To say I'm surprised by Karl and his approach, thoughts and comments as to this nickname issue is an understatement. I thought he would have been one not to be dragged down the road of the "intangible choices".

We will agree to disagree. His race in this process trumps his political ideology and correctness. To think otherwise is silly IMO.

Hawks of any kind is very original and the committee should be appauded for their diligence if one of those is chosen. Well played. Force is in my backyard. Spirit.....lame. Sundogs..........the original smoldering pile of ______. No thanks. So really we have 4 IMO.

The bold and underlined opinion of yours is nearsighted at best. Russ was put on that committee for a reason and it wasn't because of his personal political ideology...to think that is quite naive. To your last sentence you are correct.....unless you are NA. Stop by Leigh Jeanotte's office for clarification if you want.

This...^^^. Plus the fact that when a lady goes down due to a trip or push she doesn't go down like she was hit with a sledgehammer or shot with a gun like the men. Plus the ladies get up and don't roll around in "pain" like they are caught in a bear trap!

IMO there are 14 options......simply being North Dakota at the end of this process has zero chance. My top 3: 1) Ridas 2) Cavalry 3) Explorers I immediately excluded anything Fighting &/or Green. I then excluded any name that doesn't end in "s" as those are usually pathetically related to weather, natural occurrences or a emotional feelings. I could live with one of these 3 with Explorers a distant 3rd.

Fire Karl! .....and anyone who is still on board with Fighting Green.

I was at UND when Clifford was president. You hear the phrase a "player's coach" often...well he was a "student's president". Kelley hates students........along with fluffy bunnies, rainbows and RP grinders! (Well the RP reference might be a little bit of an exaggeration)

Pimpin' ain't easy......and neither is riggin'!

I'll kick in $20 for one of those awesome retirement clocks or pen sets. Anyone else ? Or I can kick in a big fat wad of Benjamin's to move that date up.......to tomorrow. Anyone else?

Kind of like MafiaMan still predicting a Lightning sweep?!?!

2-2..........C'mon Hawks!

This...^^^ CHI didn't steal game 1 TB gave them game 1. 830 left and Crawford stops a breakaway...2 minutes later CHI ties it. Crawford was solid all night.

Very choppy game......not much flow at all.

You think the same mess would have occurred if it would have been a statue of the Prophet Mohammed? Simple question..................

So now anytime someone has their own "interpretation" on anything and they feel offended by that "interpretation" swift action must be taken to remedy his/her hurt feelings in this country? Makes sense to me. This "Blackrobe" guys sounds like a bad dude but at least he didn't decide to behead, crucify, shoot or burn alive those NA "infidels" who didn't accept his religious beliefs. I'm sure that really would have caused some concern to those like Mr. McKinley.......................

Your last sentence could not be more accurate.

Pathetic!

Depends where the dart Kelley threw hit the calendar on his wall.

Not much...

Hook, line and sinker how? Just another example of giving the squeaky wheel and those with hurt feelings more publicity when in fact their opinion at this stage should not matter one bit. They all had their say already.

In the Fargo Forum today there is a letter "Dakota nickname could spell more trouble for UND" in the Opinion/Commentary section full of verbal nausea about the nickname process/issue. The crux of the letter is "We recommend having a representative group of American Indian delegates meet with the task force in the selection process". It was signed by 13 "we know what's best" individuals. How about these 13 put forth their efforts in standing up to and fixing the generational societal plagues that run rampant on the reservations in this state...day after day, year after year.

How good is he? Go Hawks!

Unfortunately this is true......but it fits into the equation for a greater racial divide propogated by some.
