UNDvince97-01

All of this ^^^^^^. I respectfully submit that if you are on the committee and also happen to be a frequent reader of this website, you need to take heed to this. 98% of the names allowed on the list do not belong there. It's obvious which ones those are. I understand this is a result of the horrendous "process" put in place by our pathetic leadership on this issue, but I'm actually embarrassed for some members on the committee whom I know, that have to endure having these options made available to them because some misinformed committee members who have apparently have no clue voted once for any of these said nickname options.

GFU? You do know we aren't in the Summit League, right?

Really? That's news to me. Hadnt heard that before...

FYP.

There is zero chance Faison will want to go through another search(fiasco) for this position. None. He will name someone in-house....I'm hearing it will be Berry as well.

Sorry for the inside joke.... Both didnt like Schweigert's nickname "Bubba" when they were hiring the football coach position.

My dear lord, now Faison and Daniella Irle have TWO "Bubba" head coaches in the athletic department?!?!? Heads are going to explode.

Well right.....but.... Aeron Carr.

Sorry, I referring to the "track mentality" as it crosses over to football more than anything (We've seen this in recent past). My wording certainly could have been better. But you're probably right with your criticism here overall. Too early to judge a kids toughness or lack thereof before he gets on campus. My apologies. Sometimes my evals get too nit-picky too early. Guilty. I hope this kid is a tough friggin stud day 1 and that everyone points and laughs at me. That would make make me happy.

I worry a little about Smith as a RB and being able to hold up. I would question his physical and mental toughness at this point. If we were in the gun and running zone read all the time, that would be different and would better suit him and his style I think. Being under center in 21 personnel sets and running power, counter and inside zone is another thing. I agree though that the coaches will put him where he benefits the team the most. I'm not sure he has the defensive mindset either, but who friggin knows. For some reason I see him as a "jet motion" inside WR type of guy but we will see.

Track guys (sprinters) typically have the offense mentality more than defense. There have been a lot of really good track sprinters who can't play football very well. Just want to keep some perspective here and temper expectations and enthusiasm. He can run in a straight line without pads. But, can he play football? I hope he can. We shall see.

He would have been the best RB to ever play at UND if he played 4 years. I dont think there's really any question or debate on that. Sad.

Um, I dont think chappell ever ran that fast...

I know you're not, and I wasn't trying to come down on you. And yes, 2 totally different situations.....but.... Just repeating what everyone already knows. Those 2 are both douchebags.

Because 2 of the biggest dickheads in college football do it, it's standard operating procedure? It may be, but please do not use those 2 as a standard. Both are complete arrogant asses.

Yeah fine, but the jackass could at least return any of the numerous phone calls from the head coach to say no. He's a classless prick. Always has been, always will be. But yeah, he's a good football coach. So congrats to him on that, I guess.

The walk-on guys who ran/run the scout team and either got cut or didnt play much on gamedays are the type of guys who deserve the decal. These are the guys who do it for free, and for their love of the program, UND, and the game. In the end, some of these guys end up being the most loyal supports and donors to the program after successful careers in their chosen profession.

He's saying how much the decal and sticker mean to him... How he went about it was less than tactful.

Well, your heart's in the right place but.... It's a little too "Brit McHenry-ish" for me...

Now what the hell did you go and have to do that for?...

Actually yes I do. In fact, last year at a small town ice bocce tourney in northern Minnesota in February that I attended, some undergrads put together a coed team of 4. Their "uniforms" were laced with "sioux suck" all over their bison-themed rags. They still attend FU. That's just one example off the top of my head. The other would be the student sections chanting "sioux suck" at all bison athletic events. All of them. Regardless who the play. Any more questions?...

Or a linebacker?...
