Well that would be the official name listed in all programs, print media, etc. Also, the public address announcer at the REA every time the team comes onto the ice. It's funny that the argument is "Who would ever say the full name of the team?" Like no one ever says Alabama Crimson Tide, Oregon Ducks, Minnesota Gophers, etc.

With the continued confusion with Notre Dame, making the interlocking ND the primary logo would be a terrible mistake.

Like FargoU fans are concerned with things like voting rules...

Tough to speculate just going off the radio call but UND was trying to run the ball in the second half and Weber was selling out, filling every gap. You'd think that would leave the middle of the field open, but UND tried going there and promptly threw an interception. That's where plays like Studsrud's boot leg would have been helpful. UND's last five drives included three 3-and-outs, a first down followed by a fumble and a turnover on downs. One first down in five drives to end the game when you're up by 11 is how you blow a lead in the fourth quarter for the second consecutive week.

It isn't everyone but as I stated earlier, the comments make it pretty obvious to anyone who reads them.

While I agree with you in principal, USD was the meat of the schedule? Every prediction I heard or read would beg to differ. That was a bad loss. Trust me, I have saw them in back to back weeks.

The Illinois Confederation is referred to as both the Illini or Illiniwek but there is not a specific Illini tribe as the Confederation is made up of a handful of different tribes. Because the name came about a century or so ago, there is no definitive source on where it comes from or what it specifically referred to. Illinois's own website confirms this (see below). Illinois however did use the reasoning you mentioned and the dropping of Chief Illiniwek was the compromise in order to keep the name. When it was developed, did the term "Fighting Illini" refer to Native Americans?The question is open to interpretation. The time period during which the "Fighting Illini" nickname developed coincided with the use of Native American imagery, usually in a romantic style. Therefore, it is not surprising that Native American imagery was sometimes associated with the Stadium Drive campaign and its slogan. Here are some examples.

Not a real applicable comparison since there is both an Illini and Utes tribe from which the nickname was either partially or directly derived from.

Must be a weird coincidence that 2 of the 3 also have one of their state's nickname as the school's nickname (UNC and USD).

Assuming you're referencing Heidlebaugh being on the trip. He was brought with for an emergency situation only, which would have required both Bartels and Mollberg going down. Pretty sure I heard them say that Studsrud didn't even make the trip, makes sense to bring Brad with to give him a chance to get a feel for road trips and whatnot. Can't imagine the staff had any desire to burn his redshirt unless absolutely necessary (see last year....).

That's a fair enough opinion and can't say I really disagree. Just pointing out the big difference between the two committees and that he had no direct impact on the names to be voted on.

That is not accurate. He wasn't on the committee that came up with the nickname list, he was on the committee that came up with the process. He had zero direct say in what is being voted. In fact, he is more culpable in the recent lawsuit than anything if the Sioux tribes really feel like they should have a vote.

Need a playaction to FB or TE in the flats.

You can't be serious. UND manages an injury on a touchback. Butler down and then limps off.

Need some points on this drive, period.

I laughed.

UND with 205 yards at the half, Weber with 95. UND averaging 5.2/rush, Weber at 2.9/rush. Weber's actually had the ball 2 minutes longer.

UND passes out of a 3 back/1 TE set to Cerrentino streaking down the field for a TD!

The athletic department has not enjoyed their experiences working with Neversports either. They have been absolutely disgusted that the app wasn't ready when the season started. Unfortunately at this point there is not much they can do. Their are two main providers, Neversport bought AmericanOne and because of their size, the Big Sky continues to be overlooked. UND and the rest of the schools are aware.

Are you taking into account the difference between competitive and non-competitive grants for NDSU?

All this is assuming the team actually leaves Grand Forks and arrives for the game.

Any link to the filing?

That's the best they could come up with for $10,000? Does it state what their standing is?
