If I may ask, why did you decide to make it your life's work to point out that hockey is the most important sport at UND? You've been making the same point for years.....why are you so passionate about it? It's not your school, you're not interested in UND's success. The truth is you're just another insecure bison rube bragging on a UND site. #buttloser

All names can be corrupted. Thunderdolts

sounds like a challenge.... Because their husbands finally let them use the computer?

Agreed. Why on earth would I be proud of a school I do not cheer for, in a sport my university plays? If they win 4 straight goat roping national titles, I'll give them their due.

When they replayed the play before the first field goal, the announcers commented it didn't seem like a whistle blew before the ball came out. Huge break for ndsu there.

Meh, I'd think the employees' and regular customers' Harley's parked out front would help deter crime.

The fix was in- a guy named Farmer bobbles the ball and gives ndsu the win.

My, oh my.

Judging by the size of some of the fans in the tailgating lot, I don't think that's a concern.

Watching the kvly pregame show. More Bison class on display today as some guy in a #1 bison jersey walked behind their LIVE set and yelled "F her right in the p***y!" for all the state to hear.

I was referring more to the idea discussed earlier of attempting to sort of transition the Sioux logo head into a horse head.

I was thinking that, too. We can't honor NA's, so we try to design a horse that looks like an Indian logo? Not sure that would fly.

Maybe he misread the sign and thought it was a gentleman's club named Nip & Tush.

True. That doesn't make those names accurate. Roughrider State is a tourism ploy. Not quite sure how many times it bears repeating, but, the Roughriders were never here.

If possible yes, I would like a name that is historically tied to North Dakota.

True, there is an award called the Teddy Roosevelt Roughrider Award. I don't want UND's nickname to be because there happens to be an award, in north Dakota, called Roughrider. It seems a bit of a stretch to nickname UND after an award named for a President who spent some time in N.D., who also happened to lead a cavalry from an entirely different part of the country to war in Cuba, during a different chapter of his life. The actual Roughriders themselves were almost all from the southwestern states, and their misfortunes getting to the war and how they were forced to fight, were something out of a Monty Python script. Teddy Roosevelt is about the only link the Roughriders had to North Dakota. North Dakota Tourism has done a great job fabricating a link between the Roughriders and north Dakota over the years. If imagined history is what we decide to nickname UND after, so be it. I'll just be hoping the committee formed by the other committee formed by their other brother darell's committee, don't choose Roughriders.

Amen!

Yeah... Was just being a little sarcastic in hoping something, anything, would quell the push for a name that isn't historically relevant to the area, and I personally can't stand. :-)

Well that's good. Hopefully now we can forget about honoring cowboys from New Mexico that forgot their horses at home when they fought in Cuba.

Yes.

"The all new Subaru Protester.... Superior handling, and mob-proof, when you really need to literally beat the traffic."

Who's on first?

That doesn't stop people from liking the Roughrider nickname, even though they were from the southwest as well.

UND FIGHTING SOUS CHEFS. Throw a goofy white hat on the current logo, and we're done.

Here come your University of North Dakota Processors..
