That basket is at about 9ft. max.

What's all this talk about Sundogs? I thought the plan was to honor cowboys from New Mexico by going with the name Roughriders? ****

Wrigley has basically just opened a can of worms. This paves the way for funding to be used anyway a school chooses, regardless of initial designation.

"projects dedicated to the advancement of enhanced academics, including...." How do you interpret this as having anything to do with athletics?

Fair enough, I just had to ask. I don't understand why you're wishing UND would've raised money for the grants designated towards athletic scholarships.... because the letter of the bill said it was designated for Academic funding. Are nerds benching 95lbs. and running a 6.7 40 getting academic scholarships to play football at Minot, Dickinson, and ndsu now? If so that's news to me.

Based on posts in the last 24 hours of wanting to quell any talk of improving the men's basketball teams coaching staff, and then wishing upon a star UND was in the better Summit and MVFC conferences, and now defending ndsu's clear misuse of funding intended for academics....I feel I gotta ask you, nodakhoops..... What color is your underwear?

https://screen.yahoo.com/southwestern-minn-high-school-mascot-001500241.html A hundred years from now, no teams will have nicknames. Once the humane society or some other animal rights group pipes up, look out. All names will be deemed offensive to someone by then. Just another reason to avoid the self inflicted torture of choosing a new name nobody is going to be happy with.

I'm hoping this guy isn't the UND athlete.

that guy stepped out of bounds didn't he?

Kicking the ball from half court, to a guy under the basket for a layup..... wow

Montana State showing why they are last place in the conference....giving us a glimmer of hope.

They will just play hack a Nash defense here...

Finally call a timeout. down 6.

two unforced turnovers in a row....augh..... need another Marilyn pep talk.

She was in the huddle at the under 16 timeout.... thus the nice run we had to take the lead.

What are you talking about? Read the bill.

Giving up wide open shots, wide open dunks, and don't bother to box out the weak side. Amazing.

Or, you could just read the bill yourself, linked in post #178 of this thread....... I have to warn you though, it's 4 pages long.

No. But I can recall several times, admiring the adjustments made at halftime by the other team, while we either give up a lead, or fall further behind. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing time and time again, expecting different results. We are 9 years into this experiment and there are still people saying let's wait and see what he can mold this next crop of players into. Last year's squad was the perfect example of his coaching abilities. A team with tons of experience and the most talent across the board I have ever seen at UND. The results? Did not beat a single team we weren't expected to beat, failed to show up for some games, played down to the level of our competition, and another ho hum .500 record. Maybe my opinion is biased by the style of basketball which Jones preaches, which I consider almost unwatchable. Possession of the basketball is not considered important, boxing out is optional, and playground style offense and defense take preference over any sort of structure and teamwork. This current group plays hard. Harder than last year's team. They've got talent. But they are not talented enough to play this rag tag style of basketball and win.

So you're justifying ndsu. minot, and Dickinson's misuse of funding based on who reported it on a blog? Interesting set of values you have down there.

Wow. You still don't get it. Lol

Thank you, Darell, for succinctly summing up the reason why any and all replacement names thought of thus far shouldn't be picked.

Since we're splitting hairs, unless he's on kickoff or kick return special teams, he'll be across the field to open the season.

I thought it was a good reply to John Johnson's article , which was a fluff piece that put words in people's mouths, with no facts.
