If UND's offense has tight jerseys, then the opposing defense has a more difficult time grabbing/tackling the UND player. If UND's defense has tight jerseys, then the opposing offensive blockers have a more difficulty time grabbing/holding the UND player. UND doesn't play against itself, so it doesn't work out evenly for both sides. These are obvious valid reasons that tight jerseys are more functional. It's not rocket science.
Unfortunately, I think the people of ND will vote to retain the name, then the supreme court will find the law unconstitutional, then the constitutional amendment will be passed, then the Big Sky will remove UND (unless the legislature acts quickly with a 2/3 vote to undo the constitutional amendment).
There are reasons why the Alumni Foundation didn't announce the press conferences until the morning of the press conferences. Had they wanted people to show up and show support they would've announced the upcoming press conferences a week beforehand. But no, they're press conferences, not pep rallies.
Can't believe you guys didn't catch that. The Nets have a certain assistant coach with a familial relationship with a certain potential UND recruit.....
Never underestimate the stubbornness of the people of North Dakota. Hopefully the alumni education campaign is well-run (it got off to a not-so-great start).
NDSU's finances are still a mess thanks to Chapman. That's why NDSU is crying every year screaming that they're going to have to shut down programs if the state doesn't give them more money.....
Nice avoidance of the question. Allow me to rephrase. If coaches, players, faculty, staff, alumni, and the board can't convince you that the Fighting Sioux name and logo will cause more harm than good to UND, who could?
WRONG!! If the flower can't be called a rose, then I say kill the flower!!! Let's bring in a piece of dog sh*t and call that a rose!!! I don't care about the flower, I just want my ROSE!!!
