Not trying to argue with you, but I think this "roughrider condom" thing is a bunch of scare tactics that have grown its own legs. I have never heard of condoms being thrown on the ice in Cedar Rapids. I have never heard of condoms being thrown on the ice/field at Red River supporting events. I have never heard of condoms being thrown on the field in Saskatchewan. Frankly, I guess I don't care if opposing schools want to throw dick hats on their own ice/playing field. In all likelihood, their school will probably end up getting penalized for the crowd's conduct.

All you do is attack people who supported the Fighting Sioux name. "it's painfully obvious." You criticized them for continuing to support the Fighting Sioux. Then you criticized them for supporting "North Dakota" when it was still an option. Now your criticizing them for supporting "Nodaks" when it is still an option. You put more effort into hating on Fighting Sioux supporters than the Fighting Sioux supporters even put into keeping the old nickname.
-
Well, to get a TRO followed by injunctive relief they need to show some likelihood of success on the merits. Without seeing the allegations in the complaint, I cannot imagine how this lawsuit has any merit. Any link to the complaint?
-
So your criticizing some supporters of the Fighting Sioux nickname because they're settling on one of the five nickname options given to them. Wow.
-
Wow, buddy. I've never seen someone with such a hard-on for the "Fighting Sioux Forever crowd" as you. Some people, like me, like Roughriders. Others like North Stars, Others like Fighting Hawks. Others like Sundogs. And yes, others like Nodaks. Give it a rest.
-
Oh, heaven's no. I meant replace the word "Sioux" with "Nodaks" and replace the sioux logo with the interlocking ND logo or some other new logo. "re-adopt the last use of the sioux jersey and replace "sioux" with "nodaks" and the sioux logo with the interlocking ND logo or a new logo altogether."
-
Huh? For what to happen?
-
Old Chief!
-
Nothing would need to change; re-adopt the last use of the sioux jersey and replace "sioux" with "nodaks" and the sioux logo with the interlocking ND logo or a new logo altogether; create something entirely different, etc. There's myriad possibilities. I think another thing worth noting is that UND football's uniforms have stayed extremely consistent during this entire nickname debacle. They've had the interlocking ND logo on their helmets for decades regardless of the nickname issue.
-
It's not that anybody thinks Nodaks "is so great". It's that those in favor of Nodaks feel that it is a better option, in their opinion, than the four other alternatives.
-
Awesome straw man argument you came up with there! I absolutely agree with you that football is more popular and has a massively larger following than hockey.
-
bisoninwmn, do you ever come out of the shadows? Or do you just lurch around opposing teams' message boards and drop negative votes on UND fans' comments? Just to let you know, there's a limit to the number of times you can do that. So make those negative ratings accordingly!
-
Good post. It was Bison fans who started bringing up hockey in this thread, not me. I'm sorry, but any time I hear Bison fans mock UND hockey relative to NDSU football, especially when they've raised the issue, I'm going to point out the fact that NDSU football, and even UND football for that matter, can and will never be able to compete with the elite competition (FBS) in football whereas UND hockey has reached the pinnacle of competing against the elite competition (Division 1) in hockey on seven occasions.

Fixed your post.

Says the guy in a hockey jersey.
-
Hmm, was anyone saying this was a popularity contest?
-
In the lobby at their hockey arena.
-
Ohio State are the national champions. Nice try though.
-
Haha, really? They won their conference title last season and won their NCAA regional for the 7th time in 11 seasons against premier college opponents.
-
What people watch is their own prerogative. I also care about FCS football, which is lower level football. NDSU's lower level football success is not comparable to UND's division 1 hockey success. That is all.
-
That mentality hasn't stopped UND from having success against NDSU in football. 62-46-3.
-
Thanks for the negative vote, but I do hope that UND has success in FCS. But FCS football is not all that impressive. It's the honest truth.
-
I know UND fans that wear hockey jerseys because its the only college program in North Dakota history to win a real Division 1 championship, and UND hockey has done it 7 times. You might think your cow college football team has won a Division 1 title, but in reality, there's over 120 real division 1 programs contending for the real division 1 title. NDSU's small time college football success should not even be mentioned in the same sentence as UND's real division 1 success in hockey.
-
Those were the days. I definitely took those conference and national championships for granted at the time.
-
Just stop. Go to the NCAA news section.
