How bout a mustang horse flying a P51 Mustang!!! Ha!!

You must have used up the entire deck of race cards you have been throwing out here! Well, on your way out, don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya!!!

Sacrificing 1 home game in 4 years to renew a rivalry that the overwhelming majority of fans of both schools want is something that UND is willing to do. And NDSU is not. We can argue till the cows come home to who ended the rivalry. But there is no doubt right now who is preventing this rivalry from renewing. And that is NDSU and Gene Taylor.

Zero chance that they will ever ban anyone wearing Sioux apparel. Fortunately we live in a country that protects personnel rights like the freedom of speech. You have the right to be opposed to what I am wearing, but I have the right. All good. No need to worry. Wear your Sioux stuff as much as you want!!

Given the history regarding UND and NDSU and their football programs, both schools deserve to host each other at their home stadium. Anyone who disagrees does not understand the history and the rivalry.

Why stop at native Americans!! https://m.facebook.com/KevinSorbo/posts/748177371888998

University of Findlay (OH) was the only college I could find with the name Oilers. Small private D2 school. So the name is still pretty original. The more I hear the name Oilers as our new name, the more I like it. That being said, I don't want a green and white Edmonton Oilers or Houston Oilers logo. We need our one identity.

How many Bison are in the eastern half of the state?!!

Completely agree with the top 5. That's how I have them. Great work on this list Dave.

If they want to make a relevant joke about the situation, they should have made it Florida State. Because they actually have a mascot that dresses up like an Indian and currently have a Native American nickname. UND has neither.

Obvious holding on Coyle, obvious offsides that lead to the goal. Take your maroon and blue glasses off. Refs absolutely blew those two calls and it cost the Wild the game.

Since this thread has drifted to the awesome topic of 80's rock bands, I will throw in my two cents!! Anyone else go to the Nugent/Reo Speedwagon/Styx concert at the Ralph last year? Awesome show. Can't believe those guys are still rocking out after all these years!!

Or the Gophers were simply not good those years. You know what they say about excuses.....

I can only assume that attendance issues are the main reason for wanting a change. Gauranteeing the top 4 teams or every team makes it to Minneapolis would deffinitely help attendance anxiety in late March for NCHC brass. http://gazette.com/nchc-weighing-playoff-changes/article/1518556

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the law that was passed when they retired the name was that UND could not even start the process for looking for a nickname until 2015. Somehow I am thinking that has to be right because we are 7 months from 2015 and there hasn't even been a whisper about a selection process being discussed by the U niversity. Which leads me to wondering what the time frame will be for selecting a new name once the ball drops and 2015 is here.

It all comes down to in the trenches. We need to get better on the O-line and D-line. Both will lead success to the other positions. A dominant O-line will help your running game and give the QB more time in the pocket to find open recievers. A dominant D-line will slow down the running game making the other team one dimensional and allow for mre pressure on the QB. When you get your lines clicking on all cylinders, it makes the rest of your team better. That is where the focus should be and I believe Bubba and his coaches are adressing it.

Just imagine all our sports teams coming out on the court/field/ice to this music!! Best into music ever!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYZ5JcHVpa8

Potential nickname for the new lockerroom...."The Oval Office."

This just in.....Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals on NBC will be preemted by NDSU football strength and conditioning training.

So last year, the UND athletic department sold the season on our exciting home schedule. This year peoples expectations are to be a .500 team and not be blown out in the loses we do have!! Yes we do have a new coach and a new system. The die hards will be there. But to the casual fan, a .500 team is not gonna get people to games or create any interest in this team. Not meaning to be all negative, but the attendance issues from last year are deffinitely going to carry over to this year!!

Oh, didn't you know, NDSU football is more popular than NHL hockey playoffs!! (Or at least that is the way Bison fans will spin it)

Wait....so I am seeing on Twitter that there are not enough players to have an actual game on Saturday? That they will just set up different offence vs. deffense scenerios?!! Combine that with no advertising that I have seen about it and nothing planned for tailgating or anything else.....there should be tens of people there!!

Where is el forko grande? And why would a spanish/mexican/hispanic sounding town embrace Canadians so much?

Your "good ole boys" meetings are at the El Roco? I can just picture all you guys sitting around with your Old Milwaukee talking about the good ole days!!

Seems like refs don't want to make call that is questionable to give a team a power play. With the ammount of one goal and overtime games so far in the playoffs, It could end up being a huge call in the game. What everyone wants in officiating is consistency. The refs are doing a horrible job in the playoffs this year with that. They are calling the games completely different from the way the regular season was called.
