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.

Thanks guys. Very interested to see how this last week goes.

Appreciate the info all of you that are in the know have put into this thread, thank you for that. With about a week left til signing day, assuming no one jumps ship, How many spots remain to make this a full class?

A statue of gfhockey pounding a beer outside the main entrance of the alerus, Ralph, and Betty. Yep, another brilliant idea.....man there are so many awesome nickname ideas floating around, how will we ever choose just one?? ******

I think the reason I catch more mistakes from Hammer than Sweeney, is because when the action got fast and furious Sweeney's voice got so high my Golden Retriever was the only one in the room capable of hearing any mispronunciations. Hammer's doing pretty good.... He's improved a lot.

Exactly. With this south wind, don't want him stuck smelling the ndsu hog barn for too long.

As long as you agree with a newspaper's opinion, they'll print your piece no matter how inaccurate it is. The editorial opinion piece written a few days ago made so many assumptions, and was so weak in its reasoning, it was actually funny. UND Lemmings, here we come.

Graduation isn't about your culture; it's about graduating from said school. They might as well affix a can of worms to the top of each mortarboard.

Are u sure that's a clipboard and not an etch-a-sketch?

I didn't realize Slippery Rock's nickname was Rock. interesting...... From what's being concocted for punishment in regard to UND staying with just North Dakota..... Why isn't Slippery Rock facing sanctions for not having a nickname that differs from their university name? where is the ncaa on this matter!!!!?!?!?

Someone making homemade buns, might dust them with flour before putting in the oven. Or, I just saw a slang definition, says it's a really long fart... So, it may not make the final list of 5 name choices.

We used to make fun of them for not knowing what a noun is. :-)

I find that hard to believe. (The rebounding drill)

I think the Central Valley Valiants beat you to it.....but, inventing words, or changing their meanings, is probably the best chance of coming up with a never before used nickname if that is the objective.

It appears to be an exercise in determining a mathematical model to decide whose penis is smaller, based on variables including but not limited to: Fans, miles traveled, regular season home attendance, regular season away attendance, post season attendance, minor league player percentages, professional league player percentages, FBS popularity, professional salaries, Nielsen ratings, sagarin ratings, local tv appearances, regional tv appearances, national tv appearances, arena sizes, and last but not least: shoe sizes.

I change my vote: Here come your University of North Dakota Fear Mongerers!!
