Did I say that? No.....you did. The more people that vote, the more legitimate the process will be. And the easier it will be for the public to accept the results. I could live with either of the finalists, btw.

I am finished arguing with him.

Well said. I agree 100%. Please, if you are an eligible voter, exercise your right to vote. Those who don't participate in the process thereby give up their right to complain about the results of the process.

Right back at you, junior.

But remember, some people care ONLY about Men's Hockey and that's it.

But you are NOT entitled to universal acceptance and agreement with your opinion.

I am with you on your last sentence, but I find your first sentence disturbing and abhorrent. You would be targeting the establishment figures that screwed this whole thing up, but would be hurting the students and student-athletes instead. It's like Kirk said to Khan in Star Trek II.

It ain't over yet, my friend.

This is the main reason for Nodak voters to hold their noses and vote Roughriders; to prevent the consultant's choice from winning.

No one has said you aren't important, vote however you wish. But to reject the only nickname left on the ballot that even comes close to meeting the original criteria over this GFRR crap is just short-sighted. Like I have said before, judge each name on its own individual merits. Fighting Hawks is unoriginal and is used by dozens of schools in various forms. Roughriders is used by ZERO NCAA schools right now and has some ties to the State of North Dakota. It is a solid choice for the Flagship Institution of the North Dakota University System. We don't play GFRR, so who the heck cares if "they picked it first"? This is about the future of UND and about the future generations that will walk on that campus. That is way more important than not "copying a local high school".

Don't even get me started on that prick. He cost the Vikes the Super Bowl in 2010 with his bounty on Favre's head.

Okay, is it time for another Roughriders ad in the Dakota Student? Any takers?

I think he was. You simply cannot hit a QB when he slides feet first. I think a big fine is coming for that hit.

I am more worried about Bridgewater following that cheap shot that knocked him out of the game. I think there will be a fine coming down for that.

That reminds me of Kupchella's idea for the student section: "Sit down and be quiet."

I think that "third string practice goalie" is better than anybody ever imagined. He was overlooked because of his lack of size (kind of like the volunteer goalie coach!) and is proving that he belongs at this level. Berry is going to have some tough decisions to make pretty soon.

I don't think Oxbow was saying that; he was just pointing out that under Hakstol, we had a lot of slow starts and losses against inferior teams early in the season (remember Michigan Tech sweeping us AT HOME in 2005?), so if we are going to give Hakstol some slack early on, the same rule should apply to Berry. It isn't a good thing no matter who is behind the bench and I don't think Berry or Hakstol would contest that point. Bottom line: It's early in the season, the freshman are still learning how to win at this level and things will be rolling along by February or March.

One of the reasons I am somewhat distrustful of scientists is that they truly believe you can quantify things that are inherently qualitative in nature. The "trap game" phenomenon is a very qualitative thing and is very hard to measure.

Yep, both bad calls. But I still think we lose last night regardless.

Wonder how many threads will be devoted to this on Bisonville?

They claim they aren't afraid of UND regaining it's mojo in FB, but stupid comments like this prove otherwise. Bubba was part of the staff that rebuilt the program in the 1990's, was part of the staff that brought home the 2001 D-2 National Championship and now is in charge of the program. That is why they are putting out baloney like this.

Oxbow6 and I don't agree on a lot of things (especially politics), but he's an intelligent poster who offers a lot of good insights on all of our programs. And I happen to think he is right on this topic as well. Believe that.
