How on earth would professional bull$%!# shovelers - er, I mean, consultants - participate in a competitive process? By smell?

Inclusiveness (even if feigned) ain't cheap. But I gotta say, at those rates, the consultant could have thrown in the extra day for free and still not had to remove her kids from private school. WTF?!?

Every time I hear the Russian anthem, I can't help but think of this scene from Red Dawn. (And that was 30 years ago!)

Fight song's already written.

Domi = proof that worthless thugs and cheap-shot artists can reproduce.

Can we petition to change the title of their anthem to "F Canada"?

The men's teams are set...

Off. Would that be Easy, Jack, or F? Or Nikolai Volk?

Truer words were never spoken. Winning is a state of mind, and can obviously transcend coaches and individual players. Not a Bison fan, but, wow.

The chants could be epic, with fans pointing to a different female on each "Ho".

Probably better than Seamen.

Now there's a name change idea. Would solve the Notre Dame dilemma, too.

Checked out the new ICON Sports Center this evening. An awesome facility of which Grand Forks should rightfully be proud.

Screening, or clearance. Big difference, there. http://www.foley.com/intelligence/detail.aspx?int=8593 Pick an original name, and there are no problems. Pick something that everybody and their brother is using, it will all come down to having a distinctive logo/mascot and even then, you could still have problems. Not to mention the lack of decent domain names. And therein lies the problem of a "public" process; you pretty much have to buy up dozens of domains before the list goes public or else the cybersquatters will have a field day.

Oh, this is the worst-looking hat I ever saw. What, when you buy a hat like this I bet you get a free bowl of soup, huh?

I figured as much. I'm just wondering who shortens it.

Interesting they chose not to capitalize/emphasize the UND in AhundyP. Where does that even come from? Who says "a hundy p"? (Auto-correct changed mine to "a handy p", but that must be based on my search history.)

Creepy stuff. More than enough DNA in there to clone the dude. Of course, that would solve any goaltender recruiting issues.

Yeah, we can get that clip from Superman II into the pre-game video and chant "Kneel before Sod!"

Y'all better hope the girl dancing at 0:15-0:19 is of age, or they will be Slapping…the cops are gonna slap the handcuffs on most of you. Cuffs start slapping…if you're real lucky you will only do a year or two.

At some point, the discussion I hoped to have about quantity inexplicably devolved into one of quality. This isn't about whether Mark is a good singer or whether he should be replaced altogether; this is about variety. Personally, I'd rather hear Dudley Dawson belch the anthem than listen to the same voice every single night. Do you eat the same thing for breakfast every day, too? Some people ascribe a ridiculous level of reverence to the anthem; I bet F.S. Key couldn't sing it for crap.

When it was announced that UND was going with a full-time national anthem singer at REA this year, I didn't think much of it. However, a few weeks in, and with all due respect to the talented Mark J. Lindquist, the lack of variety is starting to grate. Sometimes you just need a bunch of little kids screaming off-key into the mike, or the lead singer of some forgotten 80's-90's metal band, or the Pride of the North, or Roseanne, or a world-renowned kazooist, or a pretty co-ed, or several pretty co-eds. Am I crazy for even caring?

If you're looking for bulletin board material, put a cork in it.

Is it too late to enact a 'No Cowbell' ordinance at REA?

Comedy is but a hobby; debunking widespread paranoia about mythical NCAA sanctions certainly pays the bills.
