Some of you need to quit pretending the administrative action being done is because "that's how things are done at UND". It's more along the lines of "Oh crap, we better do something before we are knee deep in crap like the other guys".

were there not just have a couple of hockey players in trouble for this? pretty sure that got swept under the rug as "college kids doing what college kids do".

there was also a Michael Parks MIP on August 30th, but that's a much more common name than Senkbeil, so it could be a different person.

http://publicsearch.ndcourts.gov/CaseDetail.aspx?CaseID=2447267 Dan Senkbeil: Failure to halt, possession/consumption of alcohol by person under 21. August 31, 2012.

weren't you leaving?

congratulations, you've successfully retired DaveK!

I'm voting Yes on Measure 4 in order to retire DaveK.

so when the hockey team came out wearing the exact same color scheme, representing the exact same school, that wasn't recognizable enough for you? seriously, if you can't get help at prairie, please get help somewhere else, like an island in the middle of an ocean.

if you believe lakesbison, then nobody cares about playing UND, but if you ask the majority of Bison fans, we are more than happy to play UND in baseball, basketball, etc.

so for the record, Houston Oilers/ Tennessee Titans situation: Nickname change: check Oilers/Titans yearly roster turnover: check Oilers/Titans change in location: check for comparison, UND's situation: UND nickname change: check UND yearly roster turnover: check UND change in location: NOT HAPPENING Your relentless comparison to professional teams changing names and location doesn't work because the University of North Dakota isn't going anywhere. They're not going to have a change of heart and move the entire university. Even if they did move the university, it would still be the University of NORTH DAKOTA.

if that's not an ignorant statement. Ever been to the State B tournament?

I think it's disrespectful to horses that Ford has been making the Mustang for almost 50 years. it's a car, not a horse.

so if NDSU fans cheering against UND fans during the NCAA tournament is penis envy, what do you call all the UND fans, including those in this thread already, cheering against NDSU in this years playoffs? sounds like the same thing to me.

what does UND's 1-0 record, NDSU's 3-0 record and Butler's 0-1 record all have in common? Hint: has to do with exhibition games.

UND, NDSU, USD, SDSU, UNO? in the same conference? blasphemy, that would (literally) be the NCC all over again. might as well throw NoCo in there too. but really, why not take the 4 dakota schools, UNO, UNCo, and the montanas and make a conference. might need to add a team or two (idaho? denver? maybe wyoming if the MWC falls apart ever). nice geographic footprint, stable core of teams, natural rivalries, sellouts, $$$$. just wishful thinking though.

recovering quickly? 2-2 with a weak victory over non-scholly drake and a drubbing of a transitioning DII school and two FBS losses. 3-8 is still in the picture this season so don't get ahead of yourself.

o wise one, tell us which college sport is nationally more popular than football and basketball.

the same gopher team that lost to New Mexico State last week. You might know them as a competitor for cellar-dweller of the WAC with the likes of the mighty Idaho Vandals and the SJSU Spartans. This Gopher team could possibly be worse than their 07 squad, we'll see if they can regroup today against a middle of the MAC squad.

you're right, they're not on par, because every team in FCS is a member of Division I athletics, while the defending "Division I" hockey champion is a Division II school, and the current premier conference in college hockey has more Division II and Division III schools than Division I schools.

so then, what has UND done better during their transitional period than NDSU did? pissing off the NCAA is not an acceptable answer.

just because nobody knows where it is doesn't mean nobody knows the name. How many times does ESPN remind us of that game against michigan? I'll give you a hint, the number of times the App state/Michigan game is brought up is greater than the number of times UND is brought up. the App State name is synonymous with the underdog victory in college football.

might want to run that by that burgraff clown.

or maybe because they played them in the playoffs last season

The false rape allegation story wasn't enough press for UND in the WSJ?

because many bison fans are residents of the state of north dakota and the nickname issue has an effect on the entire state, not just the little bubble around grand forks.
