In my day, winning the national championship meant winning the national championship. That pretty much took the sting out of any regular season loss to an in --or out--state rival.

I think I confused myself between CB and DB and then went with QB.

Cal Poly's biggest win since hiring Coach Nickerson and signing top defensive recruit Stefan Djordjevic?

Wazzo? I think you mean Wazzu.

Pics?

Nice road win!

Michigan may have lost on Thursday night, but the Harbros made me chuckle.

Wait a minute! So now right-wingers are conspiring with the mainstream left-wing media to smear the protestors? LOL! Please Grandpa, tell me another bedtime story!

How many pre-season natties does Minnesota have?

One of the big stations in town ran a story on Thursday or Friday night about two women who pulled a gun on a 90 year old lady and robbed her. Their race was not mentioned in the story, despite the fact that still video shots clearly showed two women of color. They were simply described as being in their late 20's/early 30's. Rest assured though, if the suspects were 19 year old white kids wearing denim jackets with a Confederate Naval Jack flag sewn on the left pocket, that detail wouldn't have gone unreported.

Yep. I know plenty of folks who think "Wild" is an incredibly lame nickname - but the logo helps make up for it.

Fighting Hawks might not be a great choice, but it's the only one that keeps a tie-in to the former nickname - and that's a plus in my book.

That 21 year old social misfit was bright enough to consider all of that?

Our current President made a statement that the number of victims of gun crimes in the US "dwarfs" the number killed by terrorists. Call it a hunch, but I would bet that ISIS killed more than a couple of people yesterday. Hell, they chop off more heads than that on any given day.

I might suggest that Stanford picking a new tree nickname and logo may have indeed been a big FU to elitist academia nuts and the NCAA...

Kelley couldn't possibly be asking the NCAA to make such threats against UND in order to force the school to pick a new nickname, could he? Now where have I heard of that tactic being used before...?

I agree totally - and this is why "Sundogs" has more than a fighting chance at being the new nickname.

And I think you're putting a lot of faith in President Kelley.

For the record, 82SiouxGuy, I am not in favor of remaining nickname-less. My point is that in the great scheme of things, without a nickname or even with one, UND is still a relatively small-time school in terms of national athletic exposure. That's just the way it is. Was that a UND logo on your sweatshirt that the guy in Boston saw or one with the Sioux logo on it?

I walked around Yost Ice Arena back in 1998 prior to and during intermission of the Sioux/Wolverine game. Can't tell you how many folks I ran into who were happy to let me know that "Spartans suck" or yell "Go back to East Lansing" to my face. The geometric Sioux head on my green jersey meant squat. People see what they want to see or what they're accustomed to seeing. Hell, I still have to explain to folks in western WI the difference between UND and NDSU. Having a nickname won't change that.

You know what? I've finally been beaten into total capitulation. I have far bigger things to worry about than the nickname of a school I attended almost 25 years ago.

That's a nice looking basketball tank top!

God bless gun control!

Well, now that the nickname is gone, things have done a 180 in Grand Forks...

Still NOTHING on the jerseys?
