ericpnelson Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 If we are the oilers we can play the blow-out scene from "There will be blood" every time we stomp someone. Also, it makes the lives of newspaper writers easy... "Oilers Drill (Opponent)". Everytime. No need for originality, we'll call it tradition. If we have a comeback victory... "Oilers dig deep for win"... writes itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Oilers refined as the season went along. Sloppy Win? Oilers get crude win. Good win? make a number of sweet jokes. Winning streak? Oilers keeping pumping.

cberkas Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Naming a school in Grand Forks Oilers would be like naming a school in Williston Sugar Beets. I agree with you on that, if Grand Forks was on the western side of the state I could see Oilers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxVolley Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Naming a school in Grand Forks Oilers would be like naming a school in Williston Sugar Beets. Williston does have sugar beets in the Yellowstone valley. Oil can be from sunflowers, soybeans, safflower. There's crushing plants all over ND.
