Ignorance of the singular form of alumni doesn't do a whole lot for credibility either.

Yes, and add Fox "News" as long as we are making a list. Cable "news" is about entertainment.

Cecil is getting more press than a lot of issues. This simple fact does not mean that any two of these issues are related. This isn't rocket science.

No. That is just you regurgitating a talking point you read or heard on talk radio. But if you find comfort in simplification and over-generalizing I am happy for you. However you may be disappointed to learn that I am against both abortion (most of them anyway) and trophy hunting.

No idea what you're trying to say there Dude.

I see nothing wrong with nd1su's post at all.

Maybe everyone should just take a step back and realize that posts on the internet often sound a lot more terse than they are meant to be.

I think the procedural transparency and inclusiveness required to date have been achieved. It is time for the administration and the committee to show some leadership and decisiveness and bring the process to a speedy resolution. Not that that is likely to actually happen.

Well when you can't attack the message attack the messenger.

This thing really needs to end. I am in the no name/Nodak camp but I recognize that Roughriders is the name option that most people could rally behind once established. If it was mine to do I would put it to a vote between no name and Roughriders and the vote would be in mid August. The students have something called the internet. The divisiveness which becomes more shrill by the hour (as observed on this board) needs to end.

Oh for crying out loud, he could make an info release to all the other sports info directors if he has not already done so. Might take three minutes of his time.

I agree, which is why I think its a good option circumventing having to take on an identity with which we have no tradition.

And BTW, I don't see how (anything) Hawks can be considered at all with Red Hawks in our conference in our primary sport.

IMO this is the best of the remaining options. Why do we care how someone from Glendive or Perham uses it? I am sure that Oklahomans once thought Sooners was "unimaginative", but it is a distinctive name for them now.

Nodaks is IMO a good option for those of us that don't feel a pressing need to take on a new identity. It would be inclusive of anyone from ND or who attended UND. Its is comparable to Sooners for UO which is unique to that university and readily identifiable.

I am also a liberal on most (but not all) issues, particularly issues that I have some degree of passion for. No apologies.....none.

I had also forgotten UNA....

The Wyoming game will be played at elevation 7000 feet. Who the starting defensive players are may not be much more than a formality as a steady rotation of players may very well be needed.

The UND offense finally gelled at the end of last season and I think in large part the improvement was due to the offensive line finally having enough game time under their belts to develop into a cohesive unit, allowing Garman to gash UNA and UNC. With the OL coming back mostly intact I do not see the offensive regressing to the level of ineffectiveness often shown earlier in the 2014 season. One caveat to that optimistic outlook might be that the RB's need to be able to play in synch with the OL in the manner that Garman did in those last two games.

I also could get on board with Roughriders as long as it never is shortened formally or informally to "ridas". Sounds to much like urban backstreet slang.

Can't you do better than that?

Bison fans should be encouraged to post negative comments about UND football, the more incendiary the comments the better. We select the most disparaging post one week before the game and hand it to Bubba recommending it be posted in the locker room.

Based on what I see, it was he that initiated physical contact.

I was unaware that the medical school was located near a dam. I'll have to drive by the English Coulee next time I am in Grand Forks to see what it looks like now. Its been a long time since I've been on campus.
