Be careful not to lump all Bison fans together.....it really is just the few rotten thousands that spoil it for the other 11.

Wow. Take a lap.

Umm. Yes. And out of 2 would be even better yet.

Umm. No.

Settle down Jan.

NDSU is a decent fall back. I had them as a safety school as well.

UND ain't winning this game......in 2015. If miracle of miracle happened, I will be disappointed if our Athletic Director doesn't walk out to the middle of the field with a briefcase containing our cash buyout for 2019, the 2019 contract and some lighter fluid. Set case down, pull out contract and lighter fluid and light contract on fire.....walk off the field and here is where I am conflicted a bit as I am not sure if he should go with the single gun or double gun salute, but I am leaning towards the double birds.

Whoa, pump the brakes sport. I don't think I directly called you an idiot. I merely agreed with the case presented by BisonAlumni2011 that would lead most reasonable people to believe that you are in fact an idiot. I am sorry if you misunderstood or misinterpreted my post.

So from what you are saying, Darrell is an idiot. You make a pretty good case, I agree.

dubious at best.

Not to mention the competition level in the conference. Big 10 is arguably the 5th best conference for hockey right now. I would rate them 4th, but that is best case scenario.

They don't have Carson in the top 5? That is all the FCS needs is a highly skilled Carson Wentz with a chip on his shoulder and his own bulletin board material.

Seriously. It is time that someone in this country is appointed to the position of telling the perpetually offended that "your complaint is invalid, shut the !@#$ up and go be productive." I volunteer to take on this position in an unpaid role.

The Dems have always been running the long con.

Willing to take on a new name when one that isn't brutal comes along......hasn't happened in this process unfortunately.

Well. when you put it like that.....works for me

Not that there is anything wrong with that.

I don't think you know what hypothetical means?

Damn. Happened minutes after rumors of Oshie and/or Shattenkirk going to Philly.

Peacemakers anyone? http://www.montanaterritorypeacemakers.org/images/gunfighter_animate.gif

The best name and option of the 7 is easily North Dakota. I fully expected that among the hundreds of names submitted that something would emerge from the pack and make sense as a new moniker for UND but for whatever reason it just didn't happen. Maybe it was in the original pack of names and was hastily removed. Of the names left, North Dakota is the best option since it doesn't tie us down to a mediocre name like Roughriders or Green Hawks and down the road if a name organically makes sense we can make the transition then....North Stars is head and shoulders above the rest but just doesn't fit unfortunately. The rest don't even quality as mediocre. I will always support UND no matter which direction they go, but again for me, nothing here would dissuade me from remaining a Fighting Sioux and referring to UND in that manner.

Name or no name the reality of the situation is...20 years later. To this day, at Marquette basketball games, chants of “Let’s go Warriors” echo in the Bradley center. Hardly anyone refers to Marquette as anything but The Warriors. I am sure many were hopeful that during this process something would emerge as a name that made sense and 1 name would set itself apart from the rest and UND could adopt a name that people would eventually get behind. A noble effort but it didn't happen. Stay North Dakota and maybe over time something will naturally take place that leads us to adapting a new nickname. Could I live with roughriders? sure. Could have probably lived with Explorers or Roughnecks as well. Does that mean we should? I don't know. I see myself in the Marquette camp in that UND will always be The Fighting Sioux to me whether we choose a new name after this failed process or go by The University of North Dakota. Am I going to support UND either way? yes. Here is a question. With the changing landscape of the Power 5 conferences and the NCAA under continuous litigation, will the NCAA in it's current form be the governing body of College Athletics 10 years from now? 20 years from now? http://dailycaller.com/2014/07/19/bye-bye-ncaa/

Our game plan has never been to dump and chase. It is a decision making process and we may lean to the conservative side of not turning the puck over at the blue line.

I expect Tomek to win the job as well as it is possible he will be one of the most highly drafted goalies we have ever had.....but a lot of it is confidence and if Cam can get his back it could be interesting. Cam Johnson's numbers are not that different compared to Zane's in their USHL careers. Zane's first year he was 14-8-0, 2.23, .908 on a 33-22-5 team Cam's first year he was 14-8-6, 3.07, .909 on a 38-17-7 team Zane's second season he was 26-16-4, 2.22, .921 on a 31-23-6 team Cam was 13-15-4, 3.07, .922 split between a horrible Force team and a Good Sioux City team.
