  1. Ya never know. Political correctness run amok is one of the talking points of one of the prez candidates. Maybe the wheels could be rolled back, even if only that much.
  2. Sounds like Houston and BYU have support, too. http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/17115091/big-12-football-coaches-favor-houston-cougars-byu-cougars-expansion-espn-poll-shows
  3. How are you going to count them after the number gets past 12?
  4. Yes, I realize that... as in the 'zona' part of my moniker
  5. Or BGSU and MnState to NCHC and let ASU go to the WCHA. The Sun Devils really don't bring anything to the table for the NCHC. Yes, Understand they are a P5 school, but hockey will not be a priority, and isn't that what the NCHC was supposed to be about? <ducking> <running for cover> too
  6. Does he really think he and his opinion represents all of the tribal members? He makes it sound like there is no support on Spirit Lake for the Sioux nickname. Am I racist if his diatribe now makes me like the new logo even less?
  7. That is good to hear.
  8. I am still hearing that they thought they would get this...
  9. Honest question, because I do not know the answer... When was Notre Dame's last National Championship? What sport was it?
  10. Well, you are correct. but it is a good one that would be a unique Hawk logo. I voted for Roughriders, but only because this one was taken away.
  11. Still think these were the best logos posted...
  12. That would be a nice division.
  13. The biggest hurdle with an east/west or north/south split feels like the traditionally powerful teams (Montana, Montana State, Eastern Washington, and now Idaho and hopefully UND) would mostly be together, while the teams that are more often the not-so-powerful (for example Weber, Sac State, UC Davis, and maybe Idaho State) would be in the other half. If you look at it that way, a Big Sky/WAC reorg makes more sense.
  14. People who did not know the difference between a Nokota feral horse and the Nakota Native Americans made a decision based on their own ignorance. Does that sound like any other group you have heard of, for example, one that arbitrarily sets rules that apply to one 'small' school but not several other large revenue sources?
  15. Guilty. I pledge not to post about an ag school 70 miles south of Grand Forks for a minimum of 1 week. (But that won't be as tough for me since Darrell has about 12 X as many posts as I do)
  16. As for your comment that Schaefer threw everyone under the bus - he had nothing to do or say about the process that ROK put in place. Schaefer was not president and only had one vote like the rest of us. His comment reflects the sentiment of many that the selected nickname is not unique. I have to admit, I'm still trying to figure out how UND ended up with the Fighting Hawks nickname. Have come to the conclusion that it was the Ivall logo that people thought would be the new UND logo plus people who thought at least the 'Fighting' part of Fighting Sioux name would remain.
  17. Wasn't about Coastal having 500 more... Was about going FBS with less than 9000 per game average. "Average" attendance would not rely on # of games. "Total" attendance would be easier to inflate with two more games.
  18. And their average attendance was 8818 last year. (500 more than UND) http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/football_records/Attendance/2015.pdf
  19. It appears NDSU didn't make the long list of potential Big 12 expansion candidates. http://www.campusrush.com/big-12-meetings-preview-expansion-conference-championship-1834486858.html
  20. Is it 2018 already? Wow! That was fast.
  21. University of Wisconsin, not Wisconsin-Green Bay University of Minnesota, not Minnesota State University Moorhead University of Nebraska, not Nebraska - Omaha it would be University of North Dakota - Fargo, or something like that it's just a joke. Emoticons don't seem to translate from iPad.
  22. Nah... level it, close it and have 1 university like Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebraska, Wyoming...
  23. The end result -winning the war - is correct. The frontal assault on Berlin is correct. the submarine victory in Tokyo is not the right battle. It took a couple more years to end it. (SV's stated date is 2018) the war being won - the goal - was correct. So, I would contend that the prediction was (would be) correct. again, personally, I think it is a long shot at best, but, speaking of long shots, who would have bet that UND would get a Big Sky invite after NDSU had been turned down (twice!?) ? by the way, for all the bison posters out there, iirc, SV has always said NDSU would be invited to join an FBS Big Sky.
  24. So, if he had predicted that the war could be won by 1943 in 1941, by the allies coming up with a submarine attack on Tokyo and a frontal assault on Berlin, would he still be wrong? The end result is correct, but the method of success and the date were not exactly correct.
