Does his teammate Kreiner sign too?

Some blame can easily be put at the feet of past UND leaders too. If a small share to the Sioux nickname royalties had been funneled to Standing Rock and Spirit Lake childrens development programs when Brien's logo became popular, the whole mess could have been avoided.

This was a letter to the editor on why Boise St President Kustra was the most significant university Presidents in Idaho's history. Got me thinking that the next President of UND will be one of the most important in our history. Needs to be a politician, statesman, and leader before an academic. A subscription is needed for the newspaper, so used a Vandal message post. http://www.scout.com/college/idaho/forums/2664-vandal-football/13911852-chris-carlson-s-editorial-on-ui-bsu?s=205&page=1 He/her needs to take steps to further strengthen UND as a center of aviation and UAS technology and manufacturing. He needs to further strengthen medicine in the state through UND. Engineering and geology needs to be the go to place in the new ND West, with its expanding oil, gas, and chemical sector. Needs to clean house where needed and install people of integrity. Needs a new business and entrepreneur school to take hold and propel ND business even higher. Needs to upgrade basketball and football, especially in the west like Bismarck and Minot and even Williston. Play an annual basketball gàme in the west vs one of the Montana schools. Needs to broadcast the new name (hopefully Roughriders), and get people excited Needs to put a vision out there so people can grasp what UND and the state can do together. Have him/her make a play that all North Dakotans are Roughriders, and can do greater things in spite of adversity. The next leader is critical for UND.

Starting in the 80s, a low fat phenomena hit the streets where fat was removed and sugar added instead. Obesity and fatty liver deseases have skyrocketed since. Fatty Acids are essential to health, as their critical to cell membranes, but most food manufacturers keep putting in more sugar and keep extolling a low fat diet. One can live in perfect health without sugar or grains, with just protein, vegetables, and essential fats. http://www.prohealth.com/library/showarticle.cfm?libid=7564

Both Utah and Florida have namesake approvals from their one tribe in their states. The bigger question always had always been Central Michigan. The are a number of Chippewa bands in their state, but only one was secured, the closest one to Mt Pleasant. In my opinion, it was Stenejem, Hoeven, and later Dalrymple who didn't want to spend political capital on this issue, so they allowed the lawsuit settlement to include both require Sioux tribes (even though Standing Rock is mostly in SD). They might have appeared to be a friend, but secretly they wanted the name to die. Democrats were mostly always against the nickname, so they fueled the fire against the nickname (Dorgan, Conrad, and Pomeroy). For all the grief people like Al Carlsen caught, he had a point that state politicians didn't care enough. Myles Brand had it in for UND and the Sioux nickname but he died. Mark Emmert is much more reasonable, at least according to Terry Wanless, but no one ever challenged him to change the stance. Kelley went to him begging him not to acquiesce, but claiming he had UNDs interests at heart. The Fighting Sioux nickname never had a friend in Federal office starting in 2000.

And I didnt attend the University of Robert Otis Kelley. I'd take Teddy Roosevelt well before most figures because he was forward thinking progressive, but still conservative and a conservationist before his time. A Bull Moose. Where were you when the nickname was under attack? I sent out freedom of information requests to all the Slummit and Big Sky Presidents. There was no email discussion of the nickname at all, except by a few concerned fans. The whole Sioux nickname situation was rigged from top, beginning with Dalrymple and Stenehjam and carried out nefariously by Kelley. Kelley did not once implore the NCAA to change their stance and was effectively a double agent, while people assumed he would back the majority. The SBOHE was either total doofuses or were in on the ploy. Slummit League Commissioner Douple admitted that UND and ND wanted the name to go away, but he was slammed by the Herald, Forum, and Kelley for stating the truth. Bresciani attempted to get revenge on behalf of the SBoHE on him in retaliation. Bresciani had emails on the situations, but deleted them as the whole situation would cause the whole SBoHE and Stenehjem and Dalrymple to come crashing down as a blatant ruse with disregard for honesty. The state will have no part in retrieving those emails, and fired the women attorney who attempted to do so. But where were you when I stated these as issues? Mostly just got attacked here. Kelley et al will eventually pay for their deceptions. So will Standing Rocks past leadership. Lord knows the people of Standing Rock have suffered enough. But in the meantime, UND is in a crisis and needs a new name and new leadership.

Most fast casual restaurant chains haven't entered ND yet. Qdoba, Panera, Chipotle, Five Guys, Noodle etc have, but some of the major players haven't yet: Fazolis, McAlisters Deli, Jason's Deli, Zoe's Kitchen, El Pollo Loco, Pie Five etc are all seeing fast growth. http://www.fastcasual.com/topics/top-100/

There has been an incredible rise is the occurrence of NASH, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, in Americans in the past several decades. Biotech compamies are racing to find a treatment for this condition. It basically having fat deposits in your liver causing cirrhosis to form, and drinking soda or pop with high fructose sweeteners are believed to be a big factor. An estimated 50% of NDSU fans suffer from this disease, as reported by Frisco observers who were asking how a fan base could be so grossly obese. Symptoms are metabolic disease, high blood pressure, type II diabetes or borderline, and general malaise and lethargy. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-alcoholic_fatty_liver_disease

He basically has the names in reverse order that NoDaks want. Doesn't seem to know that Rough Rider state is the state nickname, and for more reason than Teddy.

North Star has several alternate names: Polaris, Guiding Star, Lodestar, Pole Star, Ursae Minor. Each of those names wouldn't confuse us with the North Star hockey team or Minnesota. Lodestars might act be a good name. North Stars need to be dropped from consideration and replaced with one of its alternate names. https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Polaris

A nickname for a state practically has to be used for the state's flagship school, otherwise the state looks bad and the flagship looks worse. Roughriders was the only practical name left. Look at California for instance. Cal is the bears. UCLA is the bruins with slightly modified colors compared to Cal's. The other schools in the UC system were allowed to have non bear names: like UCIrvine Anteaters, UC Santa Cruz Banana Slugs, UC San Diego Tritons, UC Davis Aggies, UC Riverside Highlanders, etc. But those schools mostly retained blue and gold color schemes. If UND-Williston or UND-Ellendale or UND-whoever were looking for a nickname, anything goes. But when the flagship has to chose a new name, it better be a state nickname, otherwise it cheapens the state and the flagship. If the state needs a new nickname, it will take legislative action to do it. North Dakota is not the Bison state. We're the Roughrider State and for that reason we should be the Roughriders. NDSU didn't choose not to become the Bison because Milnor and Hazen HS's had it first.

Fast casual pizza is the new thing now. Places like Maddios, Blaze, Pie Five, Pizza Rev (owned by Buffalo Wild Wings) have a Chipotle style lineup with a choice of crust, sauce, and 28 or so toppings, with a pizza baked in a conveyor oven for $6.99, ready in five minutes or less. But then again, GF doesn't have a Chipotle yet. Fast Casual places are killing fast food. Most Fast Casuals serve organic and no sugar. Chipotle doesn't serve pork in some of their store because they can't get enough raised humanely without antibiotics.

So, does the state of ND give its highest honor the name Roughrider, or should that be considered some sort of perjorative, as some committee member think? Roughriders will be the name, otherwise all state nicknames should be invalidated, and ND should just be annexed by Minnesota, so the U of Western Minnesota can be named North Stars.

Lutheran Social Services makes money off of immigrants, since they get government grants to build the LSS empire and build shiny new headquarters in Fargo. LSS used to be a charity organization, but now it acts like a big business into people trafficking for profit. Religion is the problem, not race. Islamic peoples like Somalis are butchering people in Kenya and Ethiopia right now in the name of Islam. Somalia has so many rival clans that its ungovernable. Let Saudi and the Gulf State and Iran offer them refuge, as theyll put them in slavery situations. Kenyans, Ethiopians, some Eritreans, Rwandans, Nepalese (Buddhists), Indian (Hindu, Jain, Christian) make so much better Americans because they aren't taught in mosques that America is the Great Satan that needs to be destroyed.

So NDSU has women's club teams for lax, hockey, fencing, skiing, and horsemanship, which are NCAA sports. Doesn't NDSU'S sponsorship of these club teams actually invalidate their prong three? There is obvious interest and arguably aptitudes out there. Maybe NDSU should cancel all its club teams, so it wouldn't appear there is any athletic interest among its women. Title IX disaster just waiting to happen. Teammakers will have to pay up.

http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/business/3766286-und-break-ground-energy-complex Will start on the new building in July as the donation target has almost been met. Engineering enrollment is up 130%. In addition, six new engineering PhD programs will start. Previously, only Energy Engineering was a Doctoral program (I think). Now, chemical, mechanical, electrical, civil, environmental, and one other (maybe geological) will start Doctorate programs.

You and Bison Dan are personal advisers to AD Larsen giving assurances that FCOA will carry the day in bisonville. Glad to see Larsen surrounds himself with such an August staff. Carry on ...

So most of the G5 have no business being FBS? A recruit would much rather get an FBS scholarship with no FCOA than a partial FCS one with FCOA, all other things being even.

So some one complains anonymously to the Dept of Education Civil Rights office about Gopher Title IX compliance, and then the next thing there are Federal agents measuring locker rooms and coaches offices for compliance? Can someone volunteer to report NDSU, or has that already happened?

Larsen has to wait for any FCS to FBS rules changes. He doesn't want to offer kids FCOA and then have to yank it from them so NDSU can go FBS. FBS will greatly increase dollars needed and women sports offered (at least two women sports). If it's pay to play, as FBS may have a initial fee, it would be daunting.

After all the braggards from bisonville exclaiming that NDSU will offer cost of attendance for this coming season, turns out they won't make a decision until 2016-17. What gives? Title IX problems? http://www.inforum.com/sports/3766157-many-other-fcs-schools-ndsu-waiting-play-its-hand-providing-student-athletes-cost

Actually surprised Groenewold hasnt filed a suit against EERC employees for not taking bullying, abuse, and harassment better. After all, its the EERC employees fault that Gerald lost his precious job. Reminds me of the NDSU Foundation situation. It would be cool in my book if Groenewold and Kelley moved to the same block for retirement. They deserve each other. But that's just my opinion.

San Diego could support a team, but it doesn't have an quality arena, and the Chargers need a new stadium. San Diego is much like Anaheim / Orange County demographically, which has the Ducks. Houston could easily support a team, but the arena owner is not interested. Austin, if it had a quality arena, could support a team, and the U of Texas wants a new arena. It would be like Oklahoma City or Salt Lake City supporting their NBA teams. OkC and SLC could support NHL teams if they didn't have NBA ones, as they probably don't have enough corporate money to go around. The corporate clientele and the number of suites they buy is a more important criteria than number of hockey fans.

As a Central grad, never referred to them as the Red River Roughriders, but as little Red Riding Hood. Red River will always be Red Riders to me, not Rough Riders. UND will be referred to as the Green Riders for locals.

Nashville is a Central Time Zone city, just like Dallas, Chicago, St Paul, St Louis, and Winnipeg, so its advantageous for the Predators to play mostly CST teams. Indiana is EST, as is most of Kentucky, but the zone boundary shifts East to the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee, so only the eastern 1/4 of Tennessee is in Eastern Time.
