for the record, I wholeheartedly second this post

If Nodaks ends up the name, I hope they get a logo besides the interlocking ND, or do something to differentiate from the 2nd ND school's version of it, personally. Just for the record on a Nodak re-vamp of the Islander logo, they'll have to change that hate into a bomber hat for accuracy purposes.

nice work!

is Georges healthy?

I'm sure it's just low turnout and everyone who has voted immediately stopped over here to report their choice. Pretty much gospel. With any luck over the rest of the week, this could be a one ballot deal...

Well, they wouldn't want to join the 70% of Americans that fail to stretch before exercise, leaving themselves vulnerable to dire injury.

you shouldn't joke about that kinda of stuff. Now this thread can only use that word one more time...

I hope they reach out to him and others. There are a ton of great UND alumni artists out there, more than capable of turning the new nickname (whatever it may be) into something special. I don't mean this to diminish Mr. Brien at all. In the opinion of a lot of people, he created one of, it not the, most beautiful and cool sports logo around. His background helped me put more meaning and intricate detail into said logo though. We may be get lucky twice and he can create a new logo similarly as awesome as his old one, or we may get lucky another way and someone inspired by the new logo will use their unique perspective to create an awesome logo. So yes, I hope that regardless of the selection they contact Mr. Brien, but I also hope they contact a number of other qualified UND art grads, students, stakeholders to create an option as well. That being said, I'm sure we will shell out another $300K to some ultra-PC media company to commission a somewhat brain-dead, safe logo.

There's a ton more apathy out there than i would have imagined.

for as much as people like to think that we are independent minded and well thought out, it has been shown that what order candidates (or options) appear in greatly affects results.

they were trying to monopolize the airline industry at the time, however

There's a couple really wierd aspects to this. One, it seems like momentum with any name is a fickle thing. Two, there's a lot more apathy than I thought. Three, assuming there is a runoff, the whole who chooses what after their first choice is dumped is a weird dynamic.

did anyone notice who dressed this game? He might not even be the next qb if something were to happen.

I feel ya... the last Mussman year, I couldn't take 5 hours of hwy 2 at the end of the year

Well I'm out after that out... I need a beer after that. Ouch

25-24 will be your final, not mine though.

37 seconds... from the 24. Over the middle... incomplete. and that'll be your ball game.

3rd nad long from the 19. Bartels with pressure, completes to his left, to Stanley. 4th and 2

2nd and 10. 1:00 min to go. From the 'gun. Bartels runs to the 17, out of bounds. 55 seconds to go. No one open they say.

1st down from the 16. No timeouts.Full hearts, clear eyes.. Bartels overthrows Seibel on the left side. Georges not in the game.

1:12 on the clock. Cue the Ryan Bartel Redemption tour. Seibel fair catches off the hop at the 16.

under 1:30 now. Weber will take the penalty for delay of game

1 second put back on. 1:59 to play. 3rd down, 9 to go for Weber. I formation, give to Wilks, brought down by William James. 4th and 10, tackled in bounds... tick tick tick

2 minutes (ish) left. 1 time-out left. Coach Berg is pretty pissed. Holy... you can hear it through. 2nd down handoff goes for a couple... and UND takes a timeout with 1:58 left.

1st and 10 for Weber from the UND 38.... Hand off Corey Thompson, short gain. UND with its second to last time out.
