    It's not worth winning if you can't win big

    I think they are all from south Minneapolis.  When the new district lines were drawn, it included a small part of northern or western Edina which included where Adam Banks lived.  When they tell where they are from in D2, I assume they are saying where they are originally from.  At least that is what I assume as it would be the only logical explanation.  Of course remember, it is a movie!!

    Oh, and I agree, this thread is awesome!!

    Fun fact:  If you Google Map Banks' address, it's Gay 90's in downtown Minneapolis.

    I'm all for Roughriders, and if I had a vote, that's what I'd vote for.  But since it looks like Fighting Hawks will prevail, I really liked the idea someone here had last week about going with an airplane/aviation logo for Fighting Hawks.  Would make it a little more unique and might actually be something people could rally around.

    Nodaks: 100% bland

    I just don't get the people say they liked hearing it when the hockey team played in Providence.  The announcer never used it as a nickname.  He always said "NoDak," as in, short for North Dakota.  You never heard him say, "the NoDaks," it was always, "he's been a good player for NoDak."  Turns out we can still refer to the teams as NoDak if that's soooo important with a different official nickname.

    I agree with everyone that we do need another run-off vote now should one of these not get at least 50%.  Let's just say it goes FH - 40%, RR - 33%, and Nodaks - 27%.  Yes, Fighting Hawks got the most votes, but it's a nickname that 60% of the people do not want.  So much for being unifying.  Narrow it down to two options, and you can get a true majority vote.

    When the football team runs on the field , the announcer will say.....  Here coms the Fighting Hawks or Hawks...Here comes the Sundogs or Dogs.. Here comes the Roughriders or Riders...Here comes the Nodaks or Daks...   Here comes the North Stars or Stars....    What is everyones  favorite based on that perspective. 

    It's been a long time since I've been to a football game, but why wouldn't the announcer say the full name?  He didn't say 'Fighting Sioux?'  But anyways, I think Riders is the clear choice based on this.  Daks is obviously the worst.

    What did everyone else get charged from NCHC.tv?  There was supposed to be a deal where we received last year's dues.  I was charged $89.99, I could have swore it was cheaper than that.

    My renew date isn't until 9/27, so I'm waiting and expecting a charge that is inconsistent with what they have told me.  I had the all-conference package last year and was charged around $80.  This year they have the all-conference package for $90 or single schools for $80.  I emailed and asked what I would be renewed for and they said I would be automatically renewed for $81.95.  We'll see though.

    Not meant to be a slam, more curiosity, but do you have the same feeling about the Illinois Illini, and the Utah Utes?

    Actually, no.  Those don't sound as bad to me.  Maybe because Illinois and Utah are shorter than North Dakota, I don't know.  And on their website, they still refer to themselves as the Fighting Illini which is pretty good.
