  1. It amazes me the obsession that ndsu trolls have with UND. Especially when they constantly refer to UND as a non-rival. While at Oregon the interest by Oregon State trolls was nowhere near the obsession they have in Fargo. By the way, I noticed there is a huge UND footprint in Fargo just blocks away from the ndsu campus. It's UND medical teaching facility at the Fargo V.A. A huge UND banner on the west wall. Thank you UND for supporting our veterans.

  2. Gene Taylor does not want to play the game. You can do all the talking you want and give all the excuses you want, but the fact is the game is not happening for one reason only. It is spite. We wouldn't play the game in 2004 and he will go to his grave angry at UND . All the players in that situation 12 years ago are long gone. It is time for Gene Taylor to grow up and do his job as a mature adult. Gene needs to be put in timeout. If Gene wanted the game to happen it would be on the schedule in a heartbeat.

    Keep in mind this was an individual who said forgery, voter and petition fraud was: "No big deal!"

  3. Interesting turn of events this morning on Heitkamp. He was ripping on Hakstol's salary compared to Bohl. Heitkamp, for whatever reason, has it in for Hakstol. And then his rant stopped cold turkey. I'm guessing something came across the wire regarding Beck and his praise of Bohl would immediately be compromised.

  4. Just a matter of time before they will begin attacking the messenger, Emily Welker, rather than address the issues. During the Vietnam era these type of low life individuals were given two choices: Jail or Military Service. In retrospect, not a bad plan.

  5. It is indeed a reversal of fortunes. UND has moved on. In the true Dakota spirit of Lewis and Clark their fortunes were westward. The timid remained east. Net net, UND is "America's Dakota University."

    I doubt it, can't help that Western Carolina is working on getting a situation that allows them to play two FBS games AND still have a shot of winning a Non-Conf game.

    Lewis and Clark are not North Dakotan, hence nullifying your point ;)

    Backpages: “UND, America’s Dakota University” two thumbs up, I like that.

    'JohnboyND7 :

    All over North Dakota you see Lewis and Clark this and Lewis and Clark that signs. We call ourselves the “Roughrider State” yet Theodore Roosevelt was not from ND. Where did you take history? ---- oh wait ---- never mind.

  6. I was reading the posts on Bison Media on all the recent topics. There is a person who goes by something called the "Dakota Big Three" or something like that. This individual hijacks any blog, regardless of the topic, to UND bashing. At first I thought it was the usual smack talk. Now I am wondering if this individual has severe mental and emotional issues. Blog after blog turns into backhanded or outright slander of UND with outright innuendo, truth twisting and lies. This might be a stretch but given this persons vial and visceral hatred of UND could this be another individual with the same emotional balance of the perpetrators in Connecticut or Colorado?

  7. No, no, no.

    The reason is that people confuse UND with NDSU. Even there. It's not that they want UND stuff. They think they are buying NDSU stuff.

    Don't you learn anything on these forums?

    I stand corrected. Thanks for the laugh. You just made my day!!! :D :D :D

  8. I made a stop at the Glyndon, MN Tesoro convenience store which is the front door of NDSU, MSUM, Concordia and MSTC on the Minnesota side. When you walk into the main door the first thing that greets you is a rack stuffed with UND Fighting Sioux hooded sweatshirts and regular sweatshirts. They are in that bright Kelly Green and have that beautiful Sioux logo. I asked the clerk about it and her answer was “demand!” She further stated this was the third re-order. Again, this is the front door of NDSU. Amazing!

  9. Where is this big movement from NDSU supporters? All of the NDSU supporters I know that would vote "yes" wouldn't be doing it to hurt UND, they'd be doing it because they think the NCAA is wrong and want UND to keep the name. Those are the minds UND needs to change.

    I don't know a single NDSU fan that is planning to vote for this to hurt UND.

    Have you heard the producer of the Mike McFeely show yesterday and again today. He is an NDSU supporter who has openly stated he will vote to keep the name and logo with the "intent of harming UND." Get a clue.

  10. Here is the answer to my question:

    Yes, petitions submitted to the Secretary of State’s office are “public records” under the North Dakota open records law.

    My office is now reviewing the petitions for sufficiency of signatures as required by N.D.C.C. § 16.1-01-09.1 (8) and N.D.C.C. § 16.1-01-10. It is very important for us to maintain the integrity of these petitions because they are the basis on which a measure is certified for placement on the ballot and, in some cases, may ultimately be necessary evidence in any court proceedings. Therefore, we are reluctant to allow a person to review the petitions unsupervised until our review is complete.

    However, by law, public records (such as these petitions) may be copied and provided to a requester upon payment of a fee. Under N.D.C.C. § 54-09-04(1), the Secretary of State’s office must charge 50 cents per page for copies. There are 603 petitions, each having three signatures pages. It is estimated the fee would be approximately $904.50 to provide a copy of each of the three signature pages in each petition. Under the open records law, N.D.C.C. § 44-04-18, a payment would be requested in advance before the copies are made.

    If you decide that you are interested in receiving copies of all, or some, of the petitions, please contact the Election Division at 328-4146 or at soselect@nd.gov .

    Secretary of State

    Okay, the door is open if anyone, one side or the other, wants to know just who signed these petitions and where they are from. Specifically, I want to know who from Fargo is signing for no other reason other than to stick it to UND and see us dismissed from the Big Sky. I'm looking forward to some interesting reading.

    Thank you Secretary of State Jaeger for your answer. I had repeated requests to Fargo media, specifically Joel Heitkamp and Mike McFeely who, for whatever reasons, ignored my requests. I really want to know if Mr. Heitkamp is speaking out of both sides of his mouth.
