Remain without a nickname so they can keep saying "Sioux" and not seem like an idiot trying to hold onto something that is no longer. "There isn't a new nickname so I why wouldn't I keep using the old one?" Do I have that correct?

The old nickname is gone. We are getting a new nickname. That much is 100% certain. (drops the mic and swaggers off the stage)

No doubt he is a hell of a coach, anyone saying otherwise is an idiot. That said, in this case, he is looking like a real dickhead. There is no reason whatsoever to take away this kid's entire season. Foreign exchange student wanting to be close to his buddies, a walk-on, UND being an FCS program. So many reasons to let him play. Hell, just tell Bubba to not play him Week 1 and call it good. Bubba is as honest as it gets, Nevermann wouldn't be on the plane to Wyoming.

He would never have been accepted to UM under any conditions. He couldn't even get accepted at NDSU, had to 'greyshirt' I believe.

See my post on previous page. I laid it out nicely.

Everyone quit saying "strawman argument". stupid. come up with something new.

"I think it would be cool to have just the name of the college be our monikor. It would be unique and everyone calls us UND anyways. We could be UND or North Dakota." = "If we don't get a new nickname, there is a chance that the Sioux name could be reinstated someday!"

I see the Student Government and Bob are coming to an agreement and signing a "Memorandum of Understanding". Whatever the F that means. Here is the best part: They are forming ANOTHER Task Force to help with tuition model!! #taskforceU

Another point against S&D is that the pool is getting pretty antiquated, isn't it? Have they ever remodeled it because from what I remember it is pretty old.

When they dropped wrestling it was Moe freaking out and various other wrestling fans kind of complaining. That's it. Nobody will care about S&D. Maybe ex-swimmers and that is it.

The Moon ever get sold?

Pay the other women's coaches more money and give out less scholarships overall. Sounds like a winning formula.

Will they in three years and did they the past 50 years?

They share facilities for the most part, how could they not have "as-good" of facilities? Stupid argument.

How many tickets was Concordia allotted?

IALTO

Never good when the word "corruption" is used.

Some, yes. We will see once it gets closer. Asking price and actual selling price are two different things. My point is the NDSU fans saw what UND fans were getting at the Regional and now are going to put them on Craigslist and Stubhub for that much, or more. Whether they get that remains to be seen.

How many more fans do you think there are in Fargo clamoring for tickets on a weekly basis? There are empty seats all over at the lower-end games. Sold but not sat in.

I would hope they go for more than $60. The problem is there are 18,500 tickets for sale and that pretty much maxes out their fan base. They would be counting on UND fans to drive up the price. At this point I don't see that many fans passionate enough to want to spend $250 to go. Will there be some, yes. But nothing near what people are thinking.

Funny how NDSU fans now think their tickets for the UND game are going to be worth SOOO much after seeing the West Regional tickets go for $400+. Bad comparison.

That is perfectly fine for now, more power to them. Charging that much for season tickets and making fans pony up $100 minimum for the right is not sustainable. It's all tied to results on the field. At least it showed how much more important UND is than the rest of your schedule. That part is nice. You are only ripping off your own fans, so whatever dude. 17,500 of the ticket buyers are going to be NDSU's and the price was fixed into season tickets already.

The money won't make it that far. It will only offset the amount athletics will take from the dining surplus next year.

You had em ready to go but the players just didn't execute.

Well, that's a pretty big one when you coach UND Hockey. Just like when a person coaches North Carolina, Indiana, or Kentucky basketball. Better win one every so often or you are gone. That is, unless UND isn't considered one of the top hockey programs.
