To me it's a no-brainer if we have to switch...Rough Riders! Has historical value/meaning to the state, can come up with a cool logo and mascot and most importantly it goes totally opposite of what we have now...meaning the NAs and their "heritage" in this state will become more irrelevant and obscure than they currently are, and UND and this state can move forward with a postive nickname and logo that is true to the roots of this state. Just my opinion...fire away!

Watching on channel 44 in Fargo and choppy is an understatement! Making me nauseated! Switching back and forth between Tech game...Tech holding their own.

You being a SU rube, I would have drawn you a picture but that probably would have gotten my banned from here!?

Really??? In this new society of "I've been wronged and poor me", I tend to be a little more sceptical. My question is...why is he just speaking about this "discrimination" now?? Where was this conversation years ago if in fact it reall yhappened?? Seem a little too convenient for me.

Why would he do that??? We all know she plays for the same team! Would be a total waste of his time IMO.

Nice...I'm definitely in for the UM Griz game!

Is this next year's tenatvie schedule? Or what year?

My bad...thought we were on the discussion of athletic talent when comparing the two, not lack of academic talent.

Ummm...really? Chappel was a D1 talent thru 2 years here and would have been something very special his final 2 years!!

Mertens had tons of talent around him last year and played the Bison out of potential playoff spot with his awful play. I like Landry alot based on the limited game time he has had. I think he'll play very well this year.

One of UND's strengths this year is it's secondary...but it won't look like it come late Sat. afternoon. 59-7 "da Raaaaiders". And for all the NDSU hacks that will be on this board ripping UND after they get throttled...not all Big 12 teams are alike! Tech isn't ISU!

Watched most of Bison game on webcast w some SU buddies. They looked pretty decent. Mertens is still...Mertens though. People forget ISU, even though they are a bad Big 12 team, is still a Big 12 team. This wasn't Wyoming, Ball St., or CMU...they had some skill and speed.

Thanks. Guess they can take their time when there isn't a home FB or hockey game until October!!!

PS: Anyone know when FSC members are going to get their season tickers in the mail for the '09-'10 seasons??

Plan to collect that cash! Have a good friend who lives in Missoula and is a big Griz fan. He puts the odds at 0% Montana makes the trip to GF in 2013 as part of the contract.

"SO YOU'RE SAYING THERE'S A CHANCE?!"

Two things I tell my girls every morning before school...1) respect your elders and 2) when in doubt take the home underdog! Both these games will be blow-outs...UND just taking a bigger beating!

No...was thinking same thing. But then saw MplsBison started thread and realizing the "A" and "N" aren't even close on the keyboard, I didn't want to go there with him!

SR can nix the vote over the voice of their own people. Maybe it will happen down the road, maybe not? But I get back to the fact the reservations in this state, especially the SR res, have become an embarrassment to their own people and this state. I could list the issues on these reservations, but we all know what they are. That fact, to me, that the nickname issue is forefront amid all the other issues of the NAs and their reservations is almost laughable. It getting rid of the Sioux nickname going to lower the skyrocketing suicide rate at SR?

If that's the case, it is once again just another example of political correctness run-a-muck! Like everything in this country as of late, the "I know what's best for you", left-leaning ideology is putting a strangle hold on common sense.

Neither is using his SW like a hachet!

Dude was at 93 heading into the 18th hole, which is a par 5. All he needs is a bogey to break 100. 3rd shot goes into the trap...4 shots to get out of the trap with the SW, 3 putts for a 103. Who wouldn't go postal over that! Total D-bag!

The "voice" was overwhelming in favor of keeping the nickname when the SL community voted. I think, like most of your ilk, you listen to what you want to hear.

Are you sure? I thought that was an elective course in Phys. Ed. or Ag. down there??

We would have be in the top 10 if we would have student-athletes like the NDSU FB players!
