The Sicatoka Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 The new Hockey conference needs to get a team in a warmer climate so I can move there. Too bad the Ralph can't be moved too IF SL loses - Instead get the Chicago Blackhawks to bring in a AHL team & call them the Fighting Sioux & UND can lease them the Ralph, if or when they ever get the place You really are quite delusional, aren't you.

Fetch Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Am I ? I hope you name changers can fill arenas & sell tickets when the Sioux Fans quit coming to your sporting events Time will tell Quote
The Sicatoka Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 I hope you name changers ... You keep using that misnomer. Leigh Jeanotte and his ilk (the 'notte-heads) are "name changers". You may refer to me (and I'm assuming '82, ira, ScottM, et al) as Pragmatists: we don't want to change the name, but changing it is the lesser or two evils. You want the name even if the impacts (sanctions) kill the UND Athletic department: Moniker or die. North Dakota Hockey fans will keep coming out. What are you. 1 Quote
Fetch Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 I want to enjoy Ralph's gift the way he intended it to be I can just see the ncaa & UND Admin. to keep pressuring the Ralph Arena folks to change it over to what ever name is chosen - They should never budge - But a AHL Team makes sense - I wonder how much that would cost & I see most AHL teams only average 6 to 7K Fans - so 10 or 11K should be attractive Quote
108498 Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 I will always be a fan no mater what happions with the name change. I do; however, what this name change stuff to be quite. I was chewed out by many of you that the name change must happon. Then many of you said that we will be North Dakota for a few years to sort out things and let Sioux fans ajust. So please again let us adjust and stopp this name game for at least a year or so. Quote

I hope your application letter to UND is written a whole heck of alot better than this. 1 Quote
The Sicatoka Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Yes, I'm quite sure Ralph Engelstad intended for the arena bearing his name to be the home of an AHL team and not UND. Especially when his gift (quoting) was intended to benefit "UND Athletics". Quote
ScottM Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Especially when his gift (quoting) was intended to benefit "UND Athletics". Considering Ralph made his money in casinos and construction in and around Vegas, I'm pretty sure he was a very strong "pragmatist" dealing with certain groups operating there. Quote
108498 Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Want this name stuff to end. I do have scholar leaders and uplift workers that check my spelling for important things thank you. By the way I am going into Media so just wait. Way to be supporting. Quote

KoolGuy2K Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Let's be the Fighting Norwegians. I have no problem with it. The NC$$ has no problem with the Fighting Irish so it should be ok. Quote

108498 Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Did any of you sign the petition? None of you must know Mrs. Patti Patry do you? To bad she taught me to do what ou could no matter how little people agreed or liked what you were doing. She was a special ed. teacher at Twinning if any of you know Teachers from the base. Quote
Hayduke Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Let's be the Fighting Norwegians. I have no problem with it. The NC$$ has no problem with the Fighting Irish so it should be ok. Or the Norske. I think only one other school, in Kentucky, uses it. Fighting Norske... That wouldn't be so bad. But, the NC$$ probably wouldn't like the ethnic imagery.. Quote
108498 Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 sorry missed the y on the copy past idea. Quote

No. And yes, know her quite well (personally, not professionally). What's your point? You are kind of all over the map. Very few here are happy about changing the nickname. But, at this point it is what is best for the University. And that is unfortunate that you don't want anything to do with talking about a new nickname, but most of us are concerned and know that the choosing of a new nickname can't be put in the wrong people's hands.

108498 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 My point is I too Am a Fan of the university, and although I am only a slow college student does not mean everyone can aviode myself and other long students like myself. Our vioce is just as important as alum. We were taught by the best after all. Quote
108498 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Spelling I now. Not everyone are good spellers. Quote
108498 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 jdub27 My point to you is that when people put me down for my mistakes; they should pay attention to what I am trying to say. Our friend had the same problems growing up and now she is changing the lives of her old students. By the way if you do know her please tell her MM FROM TWINNING is going into media thanks to her.

Carl Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 On a side note, has anyone ever looked up roughrider in a slang or urban dictionary context? Yikes. Well, cowboys tend to get lonely out on the range... Quote

Major gramatical and spelilng mistakes take away from the message. It causes too much static and interference in trying to decipher what you may be trying to say. Which may or may not be relavent. Who knows? If you are serious about being a member of the "media", you need to clean it up. That's reality. Quote
108498 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 speaking is different then writing. There's mass media and multi media Quote
108498 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Anyway at least the topic is off the name and on my today. Quote
