http://boards.sportslogos.net/topic/99560-long-beach-state-drops-49ers-emphasizes-beach/ I could deal with "The Beach" but just "Beach"? What the double-eff?

It's suddenly not without precedent as the Long Beach State 49'ers have announced that they are effectively dropping their nickname and will just be known as "Beach." I kid you not.

No way! That nose is totally real.

Jersey foul? I see no foul here.

It's still on the table for discussion...

Actually, that would be UND Goons...no apostrophe. Unless you like to call your favorite team the Boston Bruin's?

http://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2014/07/15/san-jose-sharks-ice-girls-uniforms-controversy As opposed to the outfits NFL cheerleaders wear?

Well, this is the 2013-2014 season thread...season's over so there's not much to talk about other than Trek bikes, duck hunting, NASCAR vs Indy car, LeBron James, and why Milan Lucic is such a whiny baby...

Hey, I just stopped by the non-UND college hockey thread to see how things were going...I guess there's nothing to see here, so I'll move along.

Not amused with an hour conversation about Carmelo's open letter to Knicks fans?

I would wager a guess that at least 150 of the 300 fans who attended the Penn State/Michigan B10 tournament game last spring would beg to differ.

A win today and the Tigers are 8.5 games up on 2nd place. I'm actually surprised that the Twins are only 7 games under .500.

This entire hockey page has been pretty dull lately...doesn't anyone have pictures to post of Sioux jerseys on top of Mount Everest or the Great Pyramids or something? Hell, I'd settle for seeing one in front of New Salem Sue.

Completely agree, Goon. Bowling Green misses the rivalries with Miami and Western Michigan, but a CCHA 2.0 is NOT the answer to their problems.

I hope you and werewolf are using sunscreen!

What's wrong? Tired of watching the endless LeDrama on ESPN already? LeBron is going back to Cleveland...LeBron wants to see what Carmelo is doing...LeBron is meeting with Pat Riley in Las Vegas...LeBron has moving trucks in his driveway...LeBron had Trix for breakfast this morning even though everyone knows that Trix are for kids... Meanwhile, Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews, quietly and without fanfare, sign new contracts.

Minnesota has several chances left to be 1/2 way to a 100 loss season by the All-Star break. Meanwhile, Detroit begins a four-game series at KC tonight.

700 miles? For real?

The Netherlands - 3 shots on goal Argentina - 5 shots on goal What a snooze-fest.

That's a cheap shot. This is Brazil during the World Cup...not Minneapolis during the Frozen Four.

British slang? LOL!

Almost all of these games are decided by a single goal. USA was an average goalie performance away from losing 4 or 5 to 0 to Belgium.

Yes, a rousing success in 2010...so much so that he was given an extension...then a couple of bad losses a year later, he's canned.

Sea Devils...Centurions...Claymores... Monarchs...Admirals...Dragons... NFL Europe names...

On this day (or close to it, if you know your history), the United States declared its independence from tyranny. Our nation's Founding Fathers and the men and women who dared to believe in this new country were indeed incredible people. We have endured multiple wars on our own soil since then, including one amongst our own citizens. We witnessed Pearl Harbor and a good chunk of our naval fleet destroyed - and our resolve was tested to its limits. We watched the rise of the abomination of Naziism and America's greatest generation, together with its allies, did nothing less than save the world. We have seen our leaders assassinated, most recently in the 1960's, and we sadly carried on. We survived the Cold War and 9/11/2001. We were - and we continue to be - the United States of America. May God bless our country and may God bless the men and women, those deceased and those still living, who have served her proudly since the day she was born, July 4th, 1776.
