    At this point, all bison73 has done is to make Rob Port look like a genius by comparison. At least SAB cites sources, posts documents, and tries to spin anti-UND venom into something reasonably coherent. "UND doesn't pay its bills. [sticks thumbs in ears] I win!"

    Does an affiliate have to get dispensation from the Vatican to pre-empt Notre Dame football?

    Only slightly off topic, but I saw Black Mass last night, and it would be an excellent way to decompress after a long day watching football. Great movie!

    I don't watch these guys as much as I have in the past, but that segment was poorly thought out and the execution was even worse. Either take on the NA nickname issue head-on (like journalists), spend some time on the nickname process (could be an interesting story, especially for fans who can't fathom their own school having to do so), or leave it alone. Half-assed ad libbing and sorry attempts at humor - at the expense of an FCS team with virtually no national footprint - are should be beneath ESPN.

    FYP with the unabridged title of that masterpiece.

    Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. On the other hand, the logo possibilities are endless.

    + 1 for the most brutally honest statement on this topic, ever. Now, if only some of the more outspoken posters here would take a moment and reflect on the importance of details. (Graduates of the Marlan Haakenson School of Law, Good Sense, and DecorumSM are excused.)

    Sorry to nit-pick, but the fact that you refer to "copyright" is the very reason why the public needs to be spoon-fed. Names aren't copyrightable; this is the domain of trademark law. And while every user of a non-original, non-unique trademark may run the risk of infringing another's rights, permission is never required. At the same time, you should read that story as a juxtaposition against the nonsense coming out of Bismarck on Monday, not as a law school lesson.

    http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/education/3839825-sundog-interactive-und-can-use-our-nickname-if-it-wantsFinally, a voice of reason. THIS is how rational, sane and informed business owners (and citizens) behave. No hijinks, no threats, no subtle demands, only the healthy realization that they may own a "trademark" but they don't own the English language. The smart ones even recognize the potential for a huge UP-side. Some of you should take note...

    How? Registered a trade name it doesn't need? (Hint: UND is going to continue to be known and do business as the "University of North Dakota.") Registered a trademark it isn't using? (Hint: All UND has is a list of five potential candidates for adoption and no present intent to use any of them, even though it might intend to use one of them.) Please enlighten the masses, oh sage one. We're dying to hear your proposed solutions.

    You may be missing the point. It's a little hard to "register" that which you are not using. Yet, this yahoo goes and files papers with the state claiming to be engaging in the real estate business under all three names, admittedly for the sole purpose of sabotaging the University's nickname process. Kind of makes one wonder whether the whole thing is a sham but who knows, maybe he really is branching out with three new start-ups and wants to compete with himself in the marketplace. Last I checked, filing bogus papers with the government was somewhat frowned upon.
  12. NoiseInsideMyHead
    No, but UND's closet dream of opening up a personal real estate agency in North Dakota just took a massive hit.

    Seemed forced, poorly thought out, and altogether kind of hacky. Too much borrowing from REA, and too little originality, methinks.

    Is it even possible for Verizon's signal at the Alerus to have gotten worse? Ugh.
  16. NoiseInsideMyHead
    Deficit or no, UND has got to bear down and get its own truck. This $39.95 U-Haul thing just doesn't look right, or befitting of a serious program.

    Perfect time to re-visit the Wyoming Prediction thread. Almost cringeworthy.

    Here is the photo of the CEO from his Linked-In page, so I think we're good.

    Finally made it over to Grand Junction Subs on 42nd -- definitely a worthwhile addition. I suspect they're still working out some of the kinks, and the grill minders appear to be learning the process…service was slow and chaotic at times. But it was the height of the lunch rush. There appeared to be plenty of seating, and prices weren't too bad. All in all, a good value for the money paid. Give 'em a try if you haven't already.

    Yahoo! still hasn't gotten the memo.

    Off-topic...holy crap, FS4Life. That signature! When you post 8 times on a single page, my mouse needs a re-charge just to get to the bottom. No offense, but thank God for the "hide signature" feature.

    That would be a Hmongous task.
