  1. Yep? Making the same point I have for years. The athletic dept has a culture issue and a $100 Mil shrine to hockey to prove it. It's all good for hockey fans, but does nothing for any other sports. Buthockey...

    Maybe bubba can right the ship competitively, but there's no doubt what the #1 sport is at either campus.

    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.

  2. Wrong.

    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.

  3. You said it, a whistle blow and a magic squib kick.......either one sends SU home crying. It is so sickening-

    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.  

  4. 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. 

  5. ND is called the Roughrider State, along with the Peace Garden State.

    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.  

  6.  

    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.  

  7. If I have to hear one more time about how this is good for the state and for UND and why I should chear them on I will be sick. It's like a Florida gators alumni cheering for Florida state in a title game, makes no sense.I will be cheating for NDSU to get smoked just like I have th last 3 years.....makes me sick.

    Amen!

  8. Actually 1&1 is a domain hosting site. The website name can be used for $15/yr.

    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. :-)

  9. Since some folks here like the name UND Roughriders, I did a domain search on undroughriders and found that it is already registered by 1 & 1 INTERNET AG.

    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.
