But let's just be honest and say you pulled that 50% number out of your butt. I'm voting for Riders but inventing statistics does nothing for me.

Voted Nodaks first two times, Riders this time.

Same here besides the not planning on voting part. Voting Roughriders.

Which step would the 'draw-your-own-logo' & run-offs be in?

Ah, yes you are correct. I win!

Did you guys know that DMX once spent some time in North Dakota? He drew inspiration for this song from it's connection to North Dakota's history

Dang, was going to be a smarta$$ and say Alaska but then I read 'continental' If I had to guess I'd say Denver or Co Springs? Unless there was some regional in CA or something. The '99 FF was in Anaheim but obviously we didn't play in that one.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe Goehring, St. Peter and one other person had 'no nickname' as their first option but were outvoted by others.

I'd agree with that ratio, but of course it'll be because there's nothing to do in Grand Forks...

Never change siouxsports.com... never change

It has been remodeled and named 'The Linq'. It's nothing special.

I'd start looking along University Avenue.

That's a good point. There is a TON of lag time to plan the trip. I'll revisit this in 2 years when we're working on national championship #10 to see what people's thoughts are then

It seems like a neat looking arena. Obviously it'd be nice to have seats where that wall is but seems pretty nice to me. And do people think this will be a tough ticket? It's about the size of Omaha's new Baxter Arena and is a plane ride for the majority of both fanbases in order to see one single game(rather than a series). I'm not sure if I believe it'll be as hard a ticket as some are saying...but then again I could be wrong about all this.

Yup, A Frozen Four at the new NHL arena in Vegas would make a killing.

Agreed combining two of my favorite things: UND Hockey and Vegas. I try to convince my friends to get engaged just so I can go to Vegas for a bachelor party. Now only a short 3 year wait until this game!

Friday: Boeser Saturday: Chyzyk

Sure they have never been a Sioux but many of them still refer to them as Sioux. Not saying one way or the other on this argument but just think it's interesting I still see current players and new commits use #Sioux or something similar in their tweets.

So my $1700 bet on North Dakota was NOT a good one?

Movin' on up!

Only a period?! I hope we can keep them off the board for a series.

UND 4-2 Chyzyk, Boeser X2, Simonson

I would argue we have a majority of their support. You're never going to get full support about anything across the board, it's not realistic. The few offended are drowning out the many who aren't, including members of the Spirit Lake Tribe who sued the NCAA to keep the name. http://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com/2011/11/01/spirit-lake-tribe-sues-ncaa-60972 That sounds like support to me, how about you?

No, we failed to meet the NCAA's arbitrary guidelines which is completely different. Spirit Lake Tribe provided support, Standing Rock's Council didn't allow it to go to a tribal majority vote. I understand we have to move on at this point but don't simplify the facts about what really happened.
