UNC should be embarrassed by this production....

Smores for short...

I agree, and I've yet to see substantiation of the assertion that merchandizing will take a disastrous hit in doing so.

That right there is funny!

No, I just finished explaining that I don't want a new identity imposed on UND which is not the same as saying I want to keep using the Sioux moniker. I thought it was a straightforward statement that did not require anyone coming along and telling me what I meant.

Actually no, that reason is not obvious at all. I don't know of anyone who thinks that officially sanctioned, continued use of "Fighting Sioux" will ever be an option if a new name is not chosen. And fans will continue to wear their old Sioux jerseys long after a new name is chosen. Personally, I prefer not choosing a new name at all (or going with G and W) in the interest of not having to assume any more of a new identity than necessary, and I suspect many have that favor no name do so for the same reason.

I don't know of any....if you go back and read through the thread my primary point is that if choosing one is indeed mandatory, then "Green and White" is a choice that would not necessitate a change in identity. My secondary point is that if fans are "rallying" around the no name hockey team, then they will rally around a team named after its colors. I happen to think that going without a name would be a viable option if permitted by the NCAA and make UND unique in contrast to your opinion that it is "DUMB". We will have to just disagree and leave it at that because getting into a pissing contest over whether going nameless is "DUMB" would be...err...DUMB.

OK boss...but someone else other than me a little ways up the thread says we need something to rally around. Our current absence of a name is not hurting attendance at the REA for men's hockey. I trust I will be corrected if filling up the arena does not equal rallying around the team.

North Texas, Harvard, Syracuse. We don't have any name now and that doesn't seem to keep people from rallying around the hockey team...

Well, IIRC there are some NCAA schools already named after their colors...

How about just sticking with green and white if no new nickname is not an option? That way we are not really being pushed into a new identity, we've always been green and white.

OK, I grew up in ND and went to UND as did my parents and grandparents. UND is in my DNA and I am a lifelong Sioux fan (or green and white, whatever), but I live in Vermillion. Coach Glenn walked by my house Sunday morning with some kids which I presume were his grandchildren. He and his smiling face were the picture of happiness and serenity. They stopped for a few minutes to be friendly and pet my dog. Nice man, I’d have to say. Now as a bit of an aside. Every once in a while I hear snide remarks about Vermillion such as within this thread where it’s been referred to as a dump. Next time you are here you might go canoeing on the Missouri R. National waterway, take in the National Music Museum, or visit the Yankton reservoir on the Missouri River which beats Garrison hands down for scenery. The snow in winter is white unlike the snirt in Grand Forks, and when Arctic cold fronts plunge Grand Forks to 25 below its typically 30 degrees warmer here. FWIW.

Even without the lousy stream and play, this game has the atmosphere of an NAIA Div 2 game. Good thing our hockey team is doing well.

I have been unable to google any info on this development. Are you sure this is more than speculation/rumor?

I have not yet seen Bartles throw a sideline pass into quadruple coverage for a pick 6 interception. The same cannot be said for Mole.

I agree, and this is a good reason to start Bartles, not that that is gonna happen.

I lean towards giving starting Bartles but I am not on the coaching staff and I don't oversee practices. It sounds to me like the coaching staff sees Mollberg as having the greater upside even though Bartles is producing the best result at this point in time. My concern is that Bartles transfers out to somewhere where he can be the starter and it then takes Mollberg's junior and senior year for the staff to realize he never will realize his "upside".

The good news is that the QB position no longer seems to be a liabilty. The "bad news" is that neither has separated himself from the other. Start whomever seems to have the hot hand in practice, and tell him not to be butt-hurt if the other is called on to come in in relief. IMO, Bartles has earned the start, but I too don't think the coaching staff will say there is a clear cut case for changing starters.
