nothing sounds as stupid as Ruff Riders. woof woof!

yeah, it was like i won a golf tournament.

i won a few million and then just got bored with it.

exactly. it's amazing how some roughrider supporters will spin anything and everything to fit their agenda. Schloss gave a direct quote of teddy Roosevelt, yet some are getting all upset because they apparently can't handle the truth.

the NCAA does not have the authority to sanction any states based on any awards they may hand out. at least not that i'm aware of. comparing apples and oranges here.

, Roosevelt was quoted as saying: “I don’t go so far as to think that the only good Indians are dead Indians, but I believe nine out of ten are, and I shouldn’t like to inquire too closely into the case of the tenth.” - See more at: http://undhockey.areavoices.com/?p=100931#comment-151680 I don't see how taking a direct quote from Teddy Roosevelt can be construed as libel or slander. As far as people thinking he was racist, i don't think there's much argument after reading this quote.

It sounds like some people are concerned what the logo would end up being if Nodaks is chosen. Then I thought maybe they could still use a logo depicting a roughrider to make two groups of voters happy.... but, then I came to my senses and remembered the roughriders were never in north Dakota and have nothing to do with the state. so darn it, I guess that won't work.

can't argue with that. Lets go Nodaks!

Nice post. I think fighting can and will be added in front of Nodaks if it gains enough steam after Nodaks is chosen.

I don't see why not. until we see otherwise, that appears to be the trend.

I was replying to someone giving the examples of Socars, Nocars, and Sodaks. so yes, my reply was indeed applicable, as the conversation had nothing to do with tribal affiliations.

then Nodaks it is!!!

I think that's possible regardless which name is chosen.

absolutely.

If you've got a study that proves which nickname choice is going to make UND the most money, I'm all ears.

some states it just works better with. Illinois Illini and Utah Utes seems to work well for them. Maryland Marys or West Virginia Virgins probably wouldn't pass, though. Nodaks has worked for UND in the past. It leaves open a lot of possibilities when it comes to mascots and themes. I was leaning Fighting Hawks with Nodaks as my second choice, but with the support it sounds like Nodaks is gathering, i'll be voting Nodaks.

you're probably referring to a comment I made earlier and I should've elaborated. teams are finding there's no need to establish the run when we do not adjust our defense. last week against ISU was ridiculous. we let two guys dominate us with no attempt to double or jam them at the line. linebackers dropping into coverage isn't always the answer. nickel package? I realize we have personnel issues... but there has to be a better answer than what we have witnessed recently. Weber threw 13 passes the week before. Last night they threw 35 for 3 TDs. We will face a barrage of passing attacks the rest of the way. Concentrating on stopping the run will be like winning a battle, but ultimately losing the war.

I don't think people who are this uninterested in it should've been on either committee. The process sucked IMO, and he was involved in creating the process.

exactly. never understood why we decided to pride ourselves on stopping the run in a pass happy league.

I really enjoyed just imagining to myself how much we sucked in the 4th quarter.

wow.

We're a good 3 quarter team anyway.

how does that happen on third and long.... augh...

exactly. he makes no sense half the time. he needs to drink before the broadcast to loosen up.
