And the only real-life example that was brought up was pulled out of a direct quote from then-UND coach Dean Blais after a game. That doesn't really count for what we are discussing here. If we get stuck with "Green and White", it will be Wayne Nelson's fault because he started the practice and then everyone else just followed his lead.

Well, I brought this up last year and was told not to worry about it. Thankfully, Ryan Bakken (former sports guy) wrote a column telling Wayne Nelson and company to knock it off and (for the most part) they have.

As I have said before, if we use this standard for picking a new name, we will have absolutely nothing to choose from because almost every possible name is in use by somebody (high school, college, pros).

Good point, but there probably is some truth to it.

According to some people on here, this is where all the good players are and will be until Jerry York retires.

This is why we shouldn't lose sleep over this. Douple is too busy trying to save his own pathetic hide to even have time to think about something like this, let alone do it.

Given the track record around here for dealing with vacant buildings, they probably have already decided to tear it down.

Shirvani has shown just what a low-class piece of work he is. Those "evaluations" were an attempt to take down as many people with him that he could. Did anyone else notice that his harshest criticisms were reserved for those Presidents that dared criticize him about anything? He was a wanna-be dictator and despot and I hope he doesn't let the door hit his fat butt on the way out.

I have been a very harsh critic of the scheduling for football, so I guess I have to give kudos to Faison and company for getting it done! Keep up the good work!

This series is going 7 games. Who will win? Flip a coin and you have just as good a chance of predicting that as all the "experts" on television.

I give up. You are responding to stuff I didn't even type. Let's just agree to disagree on this.

I never said he tried to walk away. I said if he had tried to walk away, there is a good chance these punks would have followed him and started something outside because they were determined to pick a fight with him. My guess is that Beck figured if he has to fight, he would rather do it face to face outside and not get jumped from behind. Perhaps they wanted to make a name for themselves by beating up an NDSU football player. And with all the previous incidences involving NDSU football players, they figured they could pick a fight and then blame everything on him. And people are falling for it. Like I said before, if anyone tried to pick a fight with me or got physical in order to start something, I would not hesitate to respond in kind. And if that means I would get a disorderly conduct on my record, then so be it. I would wear it with a badge of honor.

Gee, what would you be willing to bet those punks would have just followed him outside if he had tried to just walk away? I imagine Beck didn't want to trash a private establishment, so he figured it was better to take it outside so that innocent bystanders weren't injured in the process. The bottom line is, these punks wanted a fight and they weren't going to go home until they got one. If a 21 year old college kid can't go to a bar on his own free time and have an adult beverage, then that is sad commentary on our world.

I would be interested in a couple of them.

I am getting really sick and tired of hearing some people say that Beck should have "made a different choice". What was he supposed to do, lay down and get beaten to a pulp? Would that have made him a good boy? If somebody was stupid enough to mess with me, they would get it right back. I am thinking if Beck had just "walked away", these idiots would have followed him and jumped him from behind. Beck has the same right to defend himself as anyone else, football player or not. This case is closed as far as I am concerned. And it should be to everyone else too.

I think "Schloss" should stick to hockey.

ButtRPI ButtGeography ButtMVFC=FutureinvitetofullMVC Any questions?

Whatever. I am just glad you aren't in charge of our FB scheduling. Just because FU does it doesn't mean we have to do it too.

There are some internet trolls who post crap on YouTube videos about how overrated he is and how he wouldn't do anything against today's goaltenders. Also a prominent Grand Forks radio host (Bill Tanner of the Big Dogz) basically said he wasn't a fan of The Great One because he couldn't fight. There are more of them than you think; they just keep it to themselves most of the time.

The Great One also holds 61 NHL records. But some people think he's overrated because he couldn't fight. The bottom line is, I don't think anyone will ever touch some of those records.

This attitude must change or we'll never win anything significant in football again. This is another example of the lowering of expectations that I have seen in all our sports; but it is especially prominent in football. Our long-term goal is to be a top-notch FCS team in the Big Sky Conference and an annual contender for the FCS championship. If we don't think like a champion, we'll never be a champion.

Yeah, if you want to overpay for it.

I might have to get a couple of seats from the old place. Are they still selling that stuff?

I think the measly buyouts were the work of Tom Bunning. Faison won't be that stupid.

As long as there is a big, fat buyout clause I guess I could live with them backing out.
