I agree it was a shame in 5 years UND couldn't get the Standing Rock to budge maybe even through a little $$$ towards them and Spirit Lake (worked for Florida State), but the worst thing that happened was the cooling off period, because here we are talking about what UND's nickname will become this fall instead of spending time talking about UND baseball, softball, football and basketball recruiting and cheering on a nickname that would've been 5 years old. I hope when a name is picked they can market it as well as the Fighting Sioux name and logo, I know it won't reach that level (as the name and logo were unique as ever) but please market it as close as possible. Now when this is done, how long before a mascot is born?
Wonder if it would have helped the cause if we gave Standing Rock to South Dakota?

Wind
Sleet
Ice
my lack of knowledge of physics makes me wonder if there is a nickname available along that thought?

Trade Parise for Kessel, then I will have a team to cheer for in the east.

I'm happy for Montreal...that couldn't have happened to a better franchise. And the best part about it was on the winning goal, PK Subban was way out of position after chasing Palat across the ice and couldn't get back to cover Johnson - game over!
Question...what's most likely to happen in game 4 tonight:
A) PK Subban will dive and embellish to try and draw penalties and give his team the man advantage
B) PK Subban will throw multiple slew foots
C) PK Subban will slash either Stamkos or Johnson baseball style early in the game to try and change the momentum of the series and then jump around on the ice when he's given a 10 and a game
D) All of the above
Kinda picking the easy choices, don't you think?

Ermines would be cool until you see one and realize it will fit in your shoe... along with your foot.

I was trying to be funny. You are 100% correct - the Wild are obsessed with former college players, ex-Gophers in particular.
I suppose from a butts in the seats point of view, having "local" heroes does work, but the cup would be better
Whatever happened to the Tampa Bay "Malone"? Brad's cousin, if I recall.

I love the concept, but I think it would be impossible to pull off fairly for a variety of reasons. It's way too easy to cheat unless you're literally doing some sort of voter ID checkoff, and you also have issues with how voter turnout affects the power of each constituent group.
I would think the survey technology available would be able to accomplish this.
Now, a fun variant would be something like this: you print 100 "golden tickets" for students, 100 for alums, 100 for season ticket holders, and so on. Different groups might get different numbers of tickets according to their "importance" in the decision. You then randomly select people to receive those tickets, and deliver them with pomp and fanfare. Those tickets have a list of the ten finalists, and they get to vote for one.
You could actually pull that off, and it would not only be accurate from a statistical standpoint, but it would be great theater.

How about Joe Taxpayer in Fairfield whose kid went to UND and whose tax dollars help pay for the new t-shirt, er, diversity coirdinator? Shouldn't he have a say too?
One rule, no Ukrainians... lol, make a vote for parents of students, a vote for grandparents too.
-
Could the vote be held where the more you are vested in UND the more of a vote you would have. For example, student = 1 vote, alumni = 1 vote, donor = 1 vote, faculty = 1 vote. The more you are, the more votes. You could even tie residency, donation amount, etc. For the masses you could give 1/10th of a vote (or 100th), that way the goofs & bizun fans could have their fun but no actual effect.

Maybe Marco Hunts plane needs a wrong turn at albany

This is the first game of the wild n blues series I have gotten to see, is the horrible picture on my end?

Whoa, I just heard a subliminal " suck it DaveK" a moment ago, I spend too much time on here. bahaha

Could a player such as Sanderson get "bumped" by the coaching staff to make room? Pretty sure the official wording would be more tactfully worded.
-
That moment when DaveK's mom took his computer privileges away for a week, that was awesome!

Oh, I see

Can you explain the changes that are making you cringe?

Same old cast and story here. This thread is like a bad movie sequel that tells the same tired story as the previous one. Same old bullies telling everyone to "grow up" or you don't know what your talking about or even better you care more about the name then the university. Fact is there are more people wanting no nickname than there are people that can agree on a nickname. If no nickname is one of the three that is voted on it will be a landslide victory!
Slam away....
I agree with you

I guess UND could just keep using the interlocking ND and continue to be confused with Notre Dame half of the time. And I can't see how they would be a trend setter, how many schools do you actually think going without a nickname would be a good idea? I do agree with you on the UND brand part though but giving the athletic department a nickname will only further that not hinder it.
My main point is that until UND moves onto a new nickname, there won't be closure and people will continue to cling onto the Fighting Sioux name. The vast majority need something to focus on, without that they will continue to look to the past.
You are making the assumption that the new nickname will make everyone move on.. I doubt it will

I just cant see UND called the Jets.
Roughriders, Norseman, Nodak or just UND. With UND being my favorite.
I have no vested interest in the name so I didn't submit.
Thank You

You guys act like Rob Blake traveling to meet with a player and convince him to sign is uncommon but he did the very same thing before Johnny Brodzinski signed.
Maybe it's his style or the teams, might be loyalty builder technique.. either way good luck to Paul with whatever decision he makes.
