wouldn't the UND hockey team want to compete against a better football team i.e. USD?

yup, the roughrider supporters have been quiet as a mouse, especially on this site. Lol

nice post about Teddy. lots of nickname ideas in there that could've honored Teddy and his time in North Dakota. Too bad they decided to go with a choice from a completely different part of his life and different part of the country.

5- way tie 10000 votes each. Since there are not two leading vote getters, Kelly decides to make the decision himself, and christens UND as the Sundogs.

nice post. I like your pres. bush analogy. Awhile back I posted it would be like taking into account bill Clinton visited North Dakota a couple times during his presidency, said he liked it here, and then UND deciding to call its teams the UND Saxophones.

if you wait until Friday, your vote gets counted twice.

I haven't, either. Not sure what your obsession is with me. But, to each his own.

so it's ok to call those of us supporting nodaks stupid, but it's not ok to post words from the mouth of teddy Roosevelt? like I said, everyone has posted stuff to support their agenda. if you are bothered by some direct quotes from the one man who is the only link between the state of north Dakota and the nickname roughriders, you should maybe consider a different nickname choice, rather than getting upset at the people posting direct quotes.

exactly. turn about is fair play. for several months, every post against roughriders has been met with a barrage of condescending posts. but if someone is a roughrider supporter, I suppose this is a great excuse/guilt trip so others don't point out the ridiculousness of your favorite choice.

Excellent post. Shows how everyone is just angling for their favorite choice and will say anything to support it and also to diminish the others.

You could buy a condom. Or stop by the local high school. Or if you wanted to be a bit more extravagant, drive over to JCPenney and buy some front butt mom jeans by Lee. Riders!

have I mentioned how much the quote function sucks on this site since the change? geezus.

is that the imaginary North Dakota regiment of the roughrider cavalry doing calisthenics?

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!!!
