Brad and some cohorts (he'd need a lawyer like the name in Port's story) decide they don't want to use the official UND nickname. So they pick what Berry wanted during voting and use Brianna's LLC to get control over it. They have no profit intent in mind. They just want their own hockey nickname that isn't UND's official name. They get the word and use it, thus creating a new identity that is not UND's official identity. Ingenious.
And insubordinate.

I've been lurking on these boards for a long long time. I'm old enough to remember when you could almost follow a game by the updates posted here. An exciting game had dozens of pages of comments. Now you can guess the result of the game by looking at the page count of the game thread. The higher the count, the worse the team performed.
What a fucking clown show most of you are. Bitch, bitch, and more bitch. Fire Hack, Fire Berry, Fire Bubba, Fire his assistants, Now we are out to Fire The BB Coach. With a few exceptions, all of you are so fucking entitled, it's disgusting. You believe that because you decide to cheer for a team, they. owe. you. everything. Win every single day. If they don't, it's because the team doesn't care as much as you do!
News flash; You are a fucking loser.
Look at this thread. We win 7-1. What happens here? People bitch about Jake Brandt.
During the game people started laying into Klevin for beating a guy to the puck. There was NOTHING wrong with that play, but some of you jumped in here to bitch about Klevin when the refs went in to review. Why was that any kind of penalty, much less review for five? No, here in the UND "fan" forum we immediately start bitching about Klevin and his stupid penalties.
In closing, I would like to point out how stunning it is to me how many people on these boards think would of/could of/should of is proper english. It is would have/could have/should have. When you are talking, you say "would've", not "would of". That is a contraction of "would have". Jeez. It's so common on this site... I had to get it off my chest.
A significant amount of more objective UND fans no longer post here due to the openly political messages numerous posters and admins have conveyed over the past 22 months.
Unfortunately, Siouxsports.com, the admins, and @jimdahl no longer enforce the policies that made this board so great for so long.

It literally is just the stickers that bother me and only that they're so shiny on the matte helmets.
Get the exact same stickers, just also matte and the helmets will look even cleaner.
-
I know it's not a major priority for the team but what are the odds in reaching out to UND about a quick fundraiser for matte hawk logo stickers for the football helmets?
The current ones just look so crappy on the beautiful green helmets.
If you're able to do a quick bit of research, I'd assume myself and the rest of SS would be able to cover the expense for the next 5 years pretty quickly.

If I was going to predict something, I would say the WAC will add 4 D2 schools as part of a new WAC FCS and will either poach at least 2 current FCS schools or pick up schools with new FB programs. I also think they'll be open to affiliate FB schools too to get the league up to or above 6.

Very sorry for your loss. While we had quite the back-and-forth disagreements on topics related to UND and collegiate athletics, he will definitely be missed. He brought a lot of character to the board. Best wishes to you and your family and thank you for sharing.

A spring FCS schedule.
Don't imagine that would go at SDSU.
Second time I've seen this posted somewhere, but I must be missing something. Is it just because of the Nebraska game?

Good to see the "no politics" rule being enforced.

Small chance that they substitute St Thomas for the MSP market.
Doubt the whole premise falls into place.
Why would BG go now when they weren't interested the last time around?

I don't even care that Minnesota isn't in the same conference as UND any more. They moved and look what has happened to them; they can't sell out a home game against anyone. Gofer hockey; social distancing since 2013!
UND is in a position of power in any negotiation that would happen. The B1G needs UND, not the other way around. If they do go, it better be for guaranteed annual money.
I still don't like it. The NCHC is self-sustaining at this point and is the premiere college hockey conference. It's where every new school wants to join and every current school in the footprint wants to join.
If UMN and Wisco weren't forced to stay in the B1G, they'd be trying to join the conference as well.-

I was wondering if we would see this. Of note, Bubba and Danny still follow him.
2 RSF and 2 true freshmen is quite the young QB battle but I don't think adding him makes UND better.
But I also have no clue.

There are plenty of places where I can get political news, commentary and so on. I come here to get away from all that crap. People need to can the politics and focus on UND sports.
I agree and I apologize for my example only including the deficiency of the current administration.
I also should have included that I don't want to see posts from Democrats saying that masks are necessary and that preventing the spread of coronavirus is reliant on everyone.
Who knows which one is backed by facts and which one is bull$%!#. Regardless, let's keep it out of posts in other threads.

What? Were you triggered by the Coronavirus thread? We could find you a safe space if you need it.
Seriously, you sound like @jack from twitter. Let's squash any subject or title that you deem offensive or objectionable. Keep in mind, there may be others that want to read it.
I'm in no ways triggered by a thread I haven't read in months. And I'm not saying get rid of that thread.
I do miss the SiouxSports where there were no politics involved in nearly every thread.
@Oxbow6 showed in the Nashville thread that you can make a post that is relevant to the topic while not bringing politics into. That's 100% ok.
But we don't need constant mentions in the threads about the political side of things.
For example, I can say that the likelihood of the Nashville game continues to dwindle due to significantly more concern about venues holding large audiences.
What I don't want to see in every thread are political comments, for example talking about how the Trump administration has severely neglected the importance of testing and tracing and that's why so many southern states are now reversing their opening strategies while the US has seen not only the highest number of positive tests but also a higher positive testing rate within those tests.
I also don't want to see posts comparing the US to Europe and the number of positive cases, despite the same number of tests, because that's politics and shouldn't be allowed outside of the Dumpster Fire thread.
If wanting to talk about sports on a site called SiouxSPORTS makes me a snowflake, I sincerely apologize to the true snowflakes that are offended by this idea.

Not to beat a dead horse but it has to do with the how the ncaa gamed the system. The ncaa knowing stand rock was not going to approve it UND was required to get not the closest Tribe everyone else (Spirit Lake) but the two closest tribes to approve it.
And yet UND agreed to it in the settlement. It wasn't originally required until UND sued.

I would think that he would be immediately eligible, coming from a D2 school. Or am I missing something?
You are generally only eligible immediately if you drop down a division, not go up. But who knows anymore because there have been so many exceptions.
-
I'm just picking this thread because I also have a thought and there's no reason to create new threads:
Can we create an option to ignore entire threads? Before I completely quit SiouxSports because every thread turns into politics, it would be nice to choose to only see the ones that are actually related to sports.
Or if 5 people flag a post as political, then it doesn't appear if you have a setting checked. Clearly, the politics have been allowed to go unchecked into threads other than the 5g and it has ruined this board.

Reading Tom Miller's article, he's a walk on that wants to get into coaching. Was originally in touch with Rudy, which tells us a lot.
