    God bless gun control!

    Well, now that the nickname is gone, things have done a 180 in Grand Forks...
  3. MafiaMan
    Still NOTHING on the jerseys?
  4. MafiaMan
    Well, it could be worse. I turned on a Tigers game the other day to watch them. Problem is, they're all playing for other teams now!
  5. MafiaMan
    Mind still blown.

    Having seen the abominations that Adidas has released for Nebraska and Texas A&M, I'm now fearing the worst for North Dakota...

    Any sort of threat to the public? Would you want this guy sitting on a park bench at a kids' playground in your neighborhood tomorrow afternoon?

    In 1991, Wirtz came up with the idea of "Hawkvision," which was a pay-per-view service that broadcast the Blackhawks. Regular season games were not shown at all in Chicago unless you purchased this service. Fans only got to see the Blackhawks on TV if they made the playoffs. Hawkvision was discontinued in 1993, but the exodus of stars from Chicago was just beginning - Tony Amonte, Ed Belfour, Jeremy Roenick, Chris Chelios, etc. Wirtz was a penny-pincher - and THE primary reason the North Dakota "Blackhawk" logo died.

    $25,000 bail? What an effin' joke. 700+ pictures and over 100 videos. Way to protect the public there, judge!

    Tom Clifford shook my hand when I graduated in May of 1992. Kendall Baker gets a bad rap for "dumping" the old Blackhawk-style logo. UND used that logo with permission from the Chicago Blackhawks. Bill Wirtz was a greedy SOB, saw an opportunity to make money, and demanded that UND pay to use the logo. Blackhawks games were all but non-existent on TV and stars were leaving the team in droves. Fans? They had none. Remember, this was when Michael Jordan ruled Chicago. Baker said "no" to paying for permission to use the logo and it was promptly scrubbed away from UND.

    I'm sorry, we're still discussing the POSITIVES of living in Fargo, right?

    Well, I did cry when they showed Eruzione's GWG...
  13. MafiaMan
    Still hoping...

    He and his merry band of loyal minions are plotting how to stuff "Sundogs" down our collective throats - like a bad dose of Robitussin, it'll go down.
  15. MafiaMan
    They do? http://keepingscore.blogs.time.com/2009/05/17/top-10-worst-college-team-names/slide/the-university-of-hawaii-rainbow-warriors/

    OK, now how do I post my fancy gif images?

    Watched "Red Army" finally - good stuff. Two enthusiastic thumbs up.
  18. MafiaMan
    EXACTLY!
  19. MafiaMan
    This is gonna take some getting used to!

    Happy hour, door prizes, a chance to win Wild tickets, mustache ride, meet Nordy, wine tasting, and uh...wait a second, what was that again? Mustache ride - ALL DAY?
  21. MafiaMan
    Anyone going to this tomorrow in Hastings? (Read the fine print)
  22. MafiaMan
    And Detroit has decided to call it a season by trading Cespedes. Good thing they kicked Max Scherzer to the curb and kept Justin Verlander, eh?
  23. MafiaMan
    Totally agree with you there, fs4l. Once again, while the Roughrider and No Nickname/Fighting Sioux Forever forces continue to do battle with each other, Sundog supporters just sit in the bushes, waiting to strike. Once some TR quotes start being "exposed" by committee members and "trademark and licensing problems" start popping up with North Stars and Roughriders, we'll see a few more cuts and all of a sudden --BAM! -- Sundogs will find itself a finalist.
  24. MafiaMan
    I sure hope UND releases their new jerseys before the season opener!

    Stick a fork in the Tigers - they're done.
