just wondering if greg loytusz is getting back in touch with und football...not exactly sure what happened with muss but i was wondering if anyone knows his relationship with bubba or if having greg around encroaches on coach k's territory?

the reason i posted this is bc he/she was/is sick of people asking what he/she thinks the new nickname will be when it doens't matter anyways bc it has already been decided and decided months ago...my source wouldn't make things up and is very credible

you don't even know who my source is??

According to my source deep inside Twamley Hall the new nickname was signed, sealed, and ready to deliver months ago. All the paperwork for UND to take on the North Stars nickname, logo, and trademark is done and it was done a long time ago. The public will vote for the new nickname soon and Fuhrer Kelly hopes to hell the NS wins and thats that. If the NS isn't chosen he will override the decision and base it on trademark problems or website issues. Hope my source is wrong but i would take ns over sundogs any day.

hope the reaction to the new jersey is something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAOfNEBZbE4

no not mandatory but there is common theme amongst flagship universities and nicknames they have chosen...

what are the odds that awarri ends up putting up big numbers at running back this year?

i wish someone would put thought bubbles above the heads of the committee members in the herald picture...mostly idowu.

what is different about the nd...enhanced???

why did all those old trees out front have to come down???

bemidji state has thrown the idea of rebranding in the past...if they were ever to switch their name to northern minnesota university wonder if they would drop the beavers for the north stars.... University of Northern Minnesota North Stars?? unless we get it first?

all of the above things could and maybe should be long term goals for und....wanting to raise the endowment from 200m to 1b in twenty years is a bad thing??? nebraska- 1.5b iowa-1.2b north dakota- 200m lets close the gap regardless of big10 aspirations.... the only thing that you would want to hold out on would a fb stadium until you have an invite in hand

and that something would be??? prisons psa telling me every two minutes telling the dangers of binge drinking giving it to out of state interests to buy our land, "manage" it, and then sell it back years later for a nice profit a bigger presidents house for the ndac

I remember years ago when the mayor of nashville or some official said that if nashville wanted an nfl team lets stop talking and get it done... What i was saying on here was let's say that we get a new govenor or the current one goes on record as saying that he/she wants to get und into the big10 conference. Let's say that und's new president has the same vision for und. I agree with siouxvolley that it would take billions and decades. But if und and the state of north dakota had a plan to upgrade athletics/buildings/faculty/ and our endowment up to par with other flagship institutions of the big10 over a 20 year plan let's do it and see what happens. We have a once in a lifetime opportunity to do something with all this oil revenue and taking UND and the state of nd to a new level of excellence in athletics/education/research shouldn't be something we shouldn't be scared of at least trying... I know a lot of ndac people wouldn't be behind this for obvious reasons but if one school from north dakota was going to try this it would be the one with: a law school a medical school a business school an aerospace school ralph engelstad arena 2 d1 hockey programs

is there a chance that to save a couple bucks und is putting these committee members up at that hotel in downtown east grand forks, MINNESOTA and these people are confused about what state they are actually working for??? this needs to be looked into.

was thinking the same thing?

at this point in the game something like this surprises you??? karl g being a pride man is the biggest shocker so far...of all the former sioux hockey players to put on the committee they found a mole like that...can you image stephane pattyn on this committee???

send the link to hajdu and he will probably ask if he is defenseman or a forward?

okay but you haven't answered the hypothetical question...if the big10 said these were the requirements would und and the state of nd work together and say yes we are joining the big time or no we will spend all this oil money revenue on tv ads telling us how bad binge drinking is??

but those schools don't have the finest college hockey program in the country??? hockey can be a very profitable sport (i think penn state has been pleasantly suprised by its popularity/success/and money) if done right and und would more fill most of the hockey venues in the big10??? ia state wouldn't get in bc of of iowa blocking them.... okay how about 200 million entrance fee then?

Hypothetical question on a slow summer siouxsports.com night? If the BIG10 came to UND saying that they were offering full membership in the BIG10 would UND and the State of North Dakota say yes if the following were the requirements? new 250 million football stadium new 50 million mens/womens basketball stadium new 10 million baseball stadium 100 million entrance fee Just wondering?

we all had our pet/favortie nickname...mine was the fighting norse....sics was the reapers and so forth but like sica says here the roughriders is the best, most befitting nickname left and by far is the most marketable which means $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ for UND!

so a beautiful state of the art building with a track that iirc will only be found only in gf, nd and brazil but a defective crappy astroturf with corporate logos all over it?

anyone know what the turf design is...wondering if a ten year old child with parents that work for alerus got to design it??
