SIOUXFAN97

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??

two words sum up the twolves for the last 30 years... rick. rickertt.

i'm kind of with you on that...let the pc police wash all references of na imagery at und and the entire state away....if/when roughriders is chosen wonder how leigh and susie would react if und melted down the sitting bull statue outside of REA and made a statue of teddy on a nokota horse and put right where sitting bull used to be?

if michigan was looking to adopt a new nickname in 2015 they would hire a certain consulting group and i'm pretty sure their new nickname would be.....Maize Hawks! 100k please.

well put

for those that say we can't have the Rough Rider nickname because it would be too confusing with a small high school in eastern north dakota having the same nickname? Following their first Grey Cup loss, the club changed their name to the Regina Roughriders in 1924 while retaining the colours of red and black.[6] Ottawa also had a team called the Ottawa Rough Riders, but the spelling was different and the two clubs played in different leagues also kind of funny...the mascot for the saskatchewan roughriders is called "Gainer the Gopher"...Gainer is a richardson's ground squirrel also know as the FLICKERTAIL!

and western illinois graduates are all marines??? they aren't??? what??? that is dumb

for a 100g the consultants will show you a way around that...."Fighting GREEN Falcons"

agreed...seems like minny people/students love north stars (no malice involved just slightly biased), fargo people love sundogs (much malice involved with wanting the worst possible nickname), and north dakota students/people like roughriders???

what most people mean about the consultants is the money we are paying them to forward the "insert color" and hawks nickname when the committee could have and should have been formed with non-paid people like lowell and karl and the such...the consultants have brought little to this process to validate their pay...

but it did give you a small sample size of how he sees things in this mean mean world that all full of angry mean people hurting everyone else feelings....sundogs makes him smile and warm

is it unique to north dakota? can we all rally around it? .....

is it just me or do i find it very offensive that this consulting group is telling US that our award that we give to the best north dakota citizens is offensive??? i think they just wanna keep on keeping on with the "insert school color" and add hawk formula that has made them big money because of the pc police....

could someone look up the isp of the three losers who voted for sundogs and find out who they are??? probably karl g, karl g's wife, and karl g's kid???

if you look at my avatar and thing below it i was all forthe "fighting norse" for one bc it would be a thumb in the nose of the pc crowd to name our new nickname after the nordic people aroudn here and that it would have a cool side profile of a norse warrior...if roughriders wins have bb do a side profile of teddy and put riders above it and you have the old/new hockey jersey that everyone loved....

must be a great gig for these consultants....get hired by a school to replace a name...choose the primary color of the color add the word Hawk to it and charge about 100K...

for one i hope roughriders wins and two i hope its a no brainer that bb is chosen to do the new new logo...and not one that looks like a cartoon of teddy but something along the line of the old/new sioux logo he did a decade ago that is sharp, classy, fierce, and timeless
