Goon Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 You think removing "North" is a slight adjustment? My letter was published this morning: http://www.grandforksherald.com/letters/3775917-letter-few-know-sundogs-everyone-knows-roughriders Oops, I was trying to give you a positive rep and pushed the wrong button. I was wondering if that was your letter. Loved it. Quote
Goon Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 to strike fear was mostly in jest but a name should be something to rally around. Weather events don't rate very high with me. Last weekend's tornado's put the fear of God in my wife. Quote
sprig Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 I don't like Sun Dogs as much as anyone but this wlole idea of a nickname instilling fear in opponents has me intrigued. Does that really even happen because of a nickname or is it the calibre of play from one's opponents that instills the fear or lack there of? I mean c'mon, Gophers? Jackrabbits? I'm shaking in my boots at the mere sound of them! ? Every time I read gopher I want to go out and shoot one, due to the mess they're making in my back yard. Actually it's ground squirrels, but a rodent by any name is still a rodent. There must be a place for them, just not my place. Quote

Hayduke Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 http://youtu.be/ppxJ2P2pe4k Do you ever think that God is punishing us with the threat of "Sundogs" because of all those dead Richardson's ground squirrels we threw at Minnesota goalies? Quote

ScottM Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Do you ever think that God is punishing us with the threat of "Sundogs" because of all those dead Richardson's ground squirrels we threw at Minnesota goalies? And the occasional badger when Wisco came to town ... or so I've heard ... Quote

sprig Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 No guns in town Sprig. got to get a few pellets in the air at least. If I could only scatter gun the little devils Quote
Goon Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 got to get a few pellets in the air at least. If I could only scatter gun the little devils Ha, my neighbor blasts rabbits with his air rifle as well. I have two Labs and they keep the yard clean. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 OK, so where's the UND green ("pantone 347" is the official shade) version of that flag with the bottom words being "University of North Dakota". It's on its way! Roll Ridas! Too long. Yeah, yeah, I was too lazy to update the bottom wording. Quote
Hayduke Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Too long. Yeah, yeah, I was too lazy to update the bottom wording. Good job! Yes, I suck at doing this... I tried to get it done, but failed. (What program did you use?) Quote
The Sicatoka Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Yes, I suck at doing this... I tried to get it done, but failed. (What program did you use?) I went as simple as possible: MSPaint. I created a custom color based on the RGB of Pantone 347. I made that the main pen color, selected the paint bucket icon (fill) and "poured" green over blue. Then I uploaded to a free (and anonymous) file share site to link here. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 That's more bud light lime green Yeah, I don't like how it looks, but that's Pantone 347 (and that's UND's official green shade). I think part of it is I saved it as a *.png (not *.jpg). Quote
Fetch Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 I like bud light lime - get it in the Ralph & I might get on board Quote

The Sicatoka Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Roughrider mascots "for the children" are already built in: And then there's the "Captain Obvious" answer: wire-rimmed glasses and Stetson hat wearing ... TEDDY bears. And here's your already-on-campus Roughrider "war eagle": What is that statue? Colonel Eugene E. Myers, University of North Dakota (UND) alumnus and benefactor, commissioned the Soaring Eagle Statue by Turtle Mountain Chippewa artist Bennett Brien. The statue was installed fall 2000 along the University's busiest sidewalks and under the watchful eyes of two bald eagles soaring overhead. The statue, which depicts an eagle lifting off a dead tree, was a gift from Colonel Meyers to UND students. It was a gift becoming many gifts in return. Yes a Colonel gave that to UND. (I believe Col. Myers was USAF however.) Quote
