  1. I resent that comment. Not everyone who participated in this nickname vote is a registered Democrat*! *I apologize in advance to any registered Democrat who may have been offended by this post.
  2. jimdahl, your -1 is hardly fair given your allegiance to the Capitals. I'm curious, though, as to your thoughts on the abominations the Caps wore during the late 1990's/early 2000's - the black, blue, and copper jerseys.
  3. My dad's nickname vote can beat up yours.
  4. How many of you hockey folks thought "Wild" was the dumbest nickname choice ever...and now have 17 different Minnesota jerseys hanging in your closet because that logo is just so damn cool? Show of hands, please, by +1's or -1's.
  5. I'm assuming you're referring to the part immediately after you puked up your mix of Red Pepper, nachos, and beer all over the suite floor, right?
  6. I'd take that record after ten games even with Glen Sonmor as head coach!
  7. Maybe it's just because I'm not all that hip with this selfie-obsessed culture, but can someone please explain to me why the letters on the jersey and t-shirt are backwards?
  8. When it counts? This place was a dumpster fire after exhibition losses to Canadian colleges and season home opening losses to Bemidji State!
  9. And if DH was behind the UND bench, this board would be in flames this morning because of how unprepared the team was against an inferior opponent. I guess somewhere during the time-frame between Dave Haskstol leaving for Philly and last night, Mike Eaves transformed into Toe Blake and the Badgers morphed into the 1972 Soviet team.
  10. The patch location was switched after the 2011 season. I've got to go look at a jersey to refresh my memory.
  11. Just layin' on the sarcasm, STS. We all know what the reaction of this board would be if a certain coach whose name rhymes with "Shave Smackstol" was behind the bench for this loss.
  12. Wow! Emergency meeting of the gobc at 11pm!
  13. Voted the same way I did a week ago. A third vote will officially make the University of North Dakota a banana republic amongst colleges around the US. I can still say "banana republic" without getting into trouble, right?
  14. The Black Market for Sioux gear? I've heard that that's a myth.
  15. I would have consulted UND for $40K.
  16. For those amongst us grumbling about logos, let's imagine for a moment that we're the University of Miami of the late 1970's (if I recall correctly) and we're re-branding our image... ...and we introduce the orange and green 'U' logo... ...this board would laugh that right back to the drawing board as being the worst logo we'd ever seen. That simple logo is never going anywhere. Regardless of the nickname, the LOGO is what can become iconic. I'm willing to give each of these three remaining choices a chance.
  17. ROUGH RIDERS ARE NOT YOUR MASCOT! WE DON'T WANT YOUR HONOR!
  18. I apologize - totally missed the context of your reply to someone else as to why you are opposed to Rough Riders. I am 100% in agreement with you - as soon as I knew RHHIT was in favor of Rough Riders, I was against it.
  19. Too late. Would be too confusing with Minnesota State and Nebraska-Omaha. Oh, and New Salem High School. Branding nightmare.
  20. Soooo...for those thinking Rough Riders is a great name choice... If you are in favor of "Fighting Hawks," you are caving in to PC folks and pro name-changers everywhere. But having David Gipp and Ron His Real Last Name Is Not His Horse Is Thunder amongst your list of supporters for "Rough Riders," is not?
  21. Twice in a row I've agreed with you. THE APOCALYPSE IS HERE!
  22. I remember that fiasco - changing the name to "Marquette Gold" to coincide with the move to The Big East for basketball. They sure did strike gold at Marquette - COMEDY GOLD!
  23. Let's just rotate nicknames weekly. Given the number of different football, basketball, and hockey jerseys teams wear these day, this shouldn't be a problem. "TOUCHDOWN ROUGHRIDERS!" "Pssst...we're the Nodaks this week, remember?" "HEEEEEERE'S YOUR UNIVERSITY OF NORTH DAKOTA NO-DA, er, uh, FIGHTING HAWK SCOOOO-RING!" Participation trophies for everyone! We're ALL winners!
  24. If only Torii could have held onto that bomb hit by David Ortiz a couple of years ago...
  25. Generation Gullible.
