Green and pink are official colors of the University and academics. Green and white were adopted as the official athletic colors long ago.

Couldn't agree with you more. Everything can and will be manipulated by opposing fans.

Just off the top of my head... 3. It would be a constant circus full of distractions. The Walk for Change would be just a preview of what you would continue to see. I'm sure all the student athletes would be real excited that the protests, letters and comments where a nickname is the focus instead of their performance on the field and in the classroom. Sounds like something people would be excited to sign up for. 4. Per the settlement, the teams can't use the Sioux nickname in postseason play regardless or the games are forfeited. All the coaches, particularly Hak, would be excited to know that their season is over once the regular season/conference tournament has concluded. Most people aren't excited about losing the Sioux name or having to choose a new one. But that doesn't change that we will always be The University of North Dakota. That's the name student-athletes sign up to play for. That's the name alumni and fans donate to and cheer for. That's the one thing that has never changed.

Good to see the staff hard at work in Minnesota.

Ugly uniforms like that are not limited to Adidas by any means.

I think you're correct. All the losing makes everything a blur.

Should have traded Willingham last year. Couldn't trade him this year even if they wanted to, no one wanted him.

Pretty sure it's going into the IPF.

Practice at 8:30 tomorrow for anyone who wants to check it out.

You don't think that a list of all applicants the day after the initial posting period was over or checking to see if anyone applied in the last 2 weeks since isn't worth reporting?

No concern on my part, it just humors me that the Fargo media is scared to step on the FU athletic departments toes for fear of losing access.

That doesn't answer the question why the Fargo media took such in interest in a hire at UND and are more or less ignoring one of the biggest hires in NDSU history.

As long as this thread was brought back up, anyone have any idea why the Fargo media isn't reporting anything on the applicants for the AD position at FU? McFeeley hasn't said a word about it and Izzo has done one list and updated it a week or two later. They were doing at minimum weekly updates on UND's football coach. You'd think this would be a bigger deal.

Like most places, I would almost guarantee they still use tickets sold not butts in seat. The exclusion might be playoffs where reporting a lower number is more beneficial. Watch any Twins game the rest of the summer and it is a prime example. They also use scanners for tickets but I guarantee the number reported isn't people in the stadium.

Correct

He is the king of getting threads started "just for discussion"...

Not sure but Bubba was wearing an adidas polo at the meet and greet at Scheels last night. Make of that what you will.

Are you trying to spin it now that his offer was dropped?

Getting a little ahead of the topic, but the Herald says that UNI will be making a return trip to Grand Forks in 2015-2016. NDSU will also be coming to Grand Forks and I'd assume SDSU will as well. Not a bad start to the home OOC schedule for next year.

You'd think fans of a team coming off 3 straight championships wouldn't have such an inferiority complex. Sad that they immediately contact the kid to see why he choose UND over NDSU. Don't see them doing that for other schools. Also they never bring up what other offers from them or other schools are partials vs. fulls. Had no problem talking with the kid and reporting his NDSU offer when he got it, not a mention of how much it was. Only took him an hour or two to come up with it after he made his decision. Real surprising that the faithful are leaving it at only being a "partial" and didn't disclose that the partial was actually an 80% scholarship. Plays basketball and I believe is a Golden Gloves boxer. Excited to see him in green and white.

WDAZ reported it tonight as well. Believe his only other offer was NDSU.

Definitely need to get USD on the schedule and keep Omaha on it. Rotate UNO/USD/NDSU/SDSU with 2 home and 2 away ever year at least is a decent start for an OOC schedule. Hopefully at least some of the road games will lead to a home game down the road. Decent OOC road schedule with last year final RPI's listed. Other than two of the games being played in the Utah tournament, pretty decent teams, but doesn't look like there will be a top 25 team on the schedule this year unless Pitino really gets Minnesota going. UNI (112) SDSU (143) Alabama St (253) - neutral site Utah (83) UTPA (312) - neutral site Drake (179) Minnesota (34) NDSU (32) Marquette (94)

I have no clue what you're asking? The split in talent between the P5 and G5 in football is much larger than in basketball especially due to the size of rosters and number of players on the field/court at one time. Basketball outcomes are also much more random (or prone to "luck") than football outcomes and a single player can have a large effect on altering the results. And you still haven't explained how this is remotely true:

You keep comparing basketball to football and it is not a valid comparison.

Do you even remember what your original argument was anymore?
