  1. whatever the nickname is, they should make sure it works by plugging it into Looker's goal announcement.  "Here's Your University of North Dakota Fight-ing Sioux Scoooooring!  :p

    you must mean "Here's your University of North Dakota Fighting Nooooooooooooooorse Scoooooooooring!"

  2. 2-deep changes:

     

    Starting WR's are now listed as Ferguson/Cerriteno/McGill with Ivery/Seibel/Walker as the #2's.  Last week was Walker/McGill/Ivery and Ferguson/Cerriteno/Seibel.

    Woodsmall now listed as starter at NG and Hinojosa is #2.

    Carr back as starting FS with Domo Blackmon now listed as #2.  Was James/Montague last week.  James now listed as back-up SS where Carr was last week.

    Meindel makes a return and now listed as back-up punter instead of Ben Peters.

    when are we gonna see some movement on this oline situation???

  3. Montana been busy adding video boards, expanding their stadium, adding softball for Title IX concerns, building a new athlete study center, new locker rooms, and have a plan to grow their stadium to 30,000 soon.  But I guess they have absolutely no ambition to go FBS, though they've borrowed the playbook from every team that moved to FBS except Idaho.

    i really really hope that faison and kelly took chipman out to dinner after the hockey game and planted an idea in his head...

  4. About as bad as a deal as having 3,000 empty seats when the games at 10,000. You're talking about one game with 10,000. If the general public isn't going to show up. I say lets cut their sections.

     

    We don't have to worry about it for a long time as this year will probably average hopefully 8,000. 

     

     

    People must like there currents seats because anybody can go sit in those empty seats. Or there just isn't anybody that wants too.

     

    And as the rest of the Alerus fills up with the general population (if they start winning), the student section will fill up just as much. 

     

    Why not just get rid of the student seats (and the band) so the Alerus/UND can make more money? I mean they don't even pay. They barely show. They barely cheer. 

     

    It will never even be an issue because if the rest of the stadium were to fill up (like the REA). UND/Alerus would just sell the remaining student tickets not picked up by a certain date to the general public (like REA). (But you wanna decrease the number of students that will be available to watch their own schools football team by cutting their section for the all mighty dollar. Yeah that makes a lot of sense.)

    the band??? considering how boring the alerus can be at time can you imagine if the band wasn't there to try and keep up the "collegiate feel"?  the band at football and hockey is awesome...at bball games a little weak.

  5. If Wyoming wasn't Mountain West ... Montanas (2), Dakotas (4), Idaho, EWU, Wyoming and Denver: 9 for football*, 10 for M/WBB**. 

     

    * eight conference games

    ** eighteen conference games, pretty good travel pairs 

     

    When I'm king of the world I'll get right on this. ;)

    i wish most people would drop the sodaks from these wish lists...usd has already shown they don't see the big picture and for schools like idaho, cal davis, cal poly, maybe wyoming to travel to the dakotas twice a year is asking too much...if/when und and the ndac get back together in a restructured big sky or some other version of it those schools can fly into fargo and  bus to gf and back and say see ya next year....

  6. Wind the clock back 85 years and you would probably think the Fighting Sioux is stupid because it sounds like "Sue." The reviews on this website were positive.

    as much as i think the Fighting Norse would be awesome if the Nokotas wins out i would totally fine with that...that logo that guy came up with on that link is pretty sweet....just have ben brien tweak it a little bit

  7. one thing i'm not clear on ...does okelly have to choose one the final four or so that are fowarded to him or can he just choose spirit and be done with it (assuming spirit isn't forwarded on to him from the committee of toleraance and acceptance)?

  8. "Sandra Mitchell, UND Associate Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion"

     

    Leave it to the geniuses in academia to come up with a boondoggle like this.  Were it not for academia and the ongoing taxpayer shakedowns to fund it, one with such a "title" would be warming up fries at an Arby's.  1.3 trillion of taxpayer guaranteed student loan debt has created quite an ox that's starting to be gored by the sheer weight of inexorable and inevitable economic reality.  Nationally, fewer and fewer are willing to incur thousands and thousands of student loan debt to hear someone lecture them about "diversity and inclusion" and "gender equity" only to get a job that pays barely a living salary.  It's the 25 to 30 year-old shower of government guaranteed cash that's created something that collectively is so lacking in intellectual stimulation and creative inspiration to come up with a "position" as vapid, insipid and useless as this.  Nationally, professors are fighting legions of administrators for the ever shrinking trough of money that both groups bathed in for so long.  Now, there are more administrators than one can shake a stick at all making 100K, all drawing taxpayer paid healthcare and retirement benefits and all fighting with faculty to retain their stake of the shrinking pie.  Now, you have a lot of faculty being hired by those administrators on an adjunct basis only - a way for the administrators to keep their gravy train.  It's truly a beautiful thing.  So, these people are all going to go back to their "constituencies" and "stakeholders" to get nickname suggestions for Kelley?  And, everyone will feel really good and "included" in the "well thought-out" and "well-crafted" process?  What a bunch of truly surrealistic nonsense.  The economic door has been kicked in and the whole rotten edifice is starting to falter.  In the words of Bill Murray from one of my favorite movies, "I have to laugh."

    Wow...couldn't have said it better. Spot on.  I can't wait til she is introduced somewhere at UND and people thinks its a joke and people start laughing and then realize its a true position?

  9. The "garbage bags" are blocking about ten percent of one of the video boards at the top for everyone. Even me in the lower bowl.

    yep...i stood on the south bridge and if you look across it blocks the top ten percent or so...but yeah just deal with it.

  10. They would accept Norse because there is already at least one college that uses it Luther College - a small DIII college in Iowa (which I do not see as a deal breaker). being of Norwegian decent I like it (and thus would not organize a walk around campus in protest). But the North Dakota Fighting Norse doesn't exactly slide on the tounge (unless you pronouce it Norsk - however North Dakota NOR-SKI does :).

    sounds better already

  11. Bartles is not good. Did you see those scuds he threw yesterday? Plus he cannot run at all. I guess neither of them are the answer.

    i'm sure teh reason joe was chosen over ryan was ryan is so so slow its pathetic....if your gonna lose lose young...studsrud time

  12. I don't care who "starts," as long as the better player gets more (a lot more) touches.

    i know one play doesn't change a game normally but when jer almost had his head taken off on his first carry again san jose it really gets the other team jacked up and teeing off and so far jer has shown NOTHING

  13. Obviously, our performance against Robert Morris doesn't really instill a great deal of optimism regarding the outcome of this game against Missouri St.  Having said that, it seems some people view the Bears as some sort of top echelon FCS program, when in fact they've had 4 consecutive losing seasons and only 3 winning seasons in the last 10.  I don't think they'd even be considered a "middle-of-the-pack" MVFC team. 

     

    This is the type of game that I expect North Dakota to win, whether we are up or down. 

    plus bubba knows southeastern missouri state pretty well but if he's gonna be stubborn and start jer again i'm questioning some things right now
