Benny Baker Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Yes, not enough quality losses which were more important than quality wins. We've been over that enough times.Okay, we just weren't sure that you knew that since you literally used the "victim" card for UND not having a home playoff game this season. 2 Quote
jdub27 Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Okay, we just weren't sure that you knew that since you literally used the "victim" card for UND not having a home playoff game this season.What victim card? They were deserving and left out. Not sure how that is debatable or playing a victim card? It was a direct response to you claiming they weren't good enough to host a playoff game when in fact they were just as good, if not better, than a handful of teams that got into the playoffs ahead of them and would have hosted a first round game if they would have been selected. 1 Quote

Can you point to where did I said it only affected football? I said it would have affected them the most. The football team has been eligible for playoffs for a total of 4 years and was good enough (and would have hosted) a home playoff game this year if they would not have been the victim of some incredibly questionable decision making in the selection process.You ignored the conference issue and blow off what was on its way to becoming bigger issues for the athletic department as minor. Not sure why you're trying to change the narrative, the unanswered question is whether sports other than hockey appear in the video as they had more to lose than the hockey team and if you're going to tell the story of the nickname issues, it should be one of the major reasons laid out for why it needed to go. Or is it a video for a faction of the hockey only fans to throw more blame on the rest of the athletic department for the loss of the nickname? Seems like a simple enough question. Quote
jdub27 Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Fair enough, I assumed you were referring to "victim card" in a different manner. My point still stands that the team was good enough to both be in the playoffs and host a game. 3 Quote

Just like this season, UND won't be playing in the first round of the playoffs . . . because they'll have a bye week and be preparing to host a second round playoff game. 1 Quote
farce poobah Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 If I were any closer than 1500 miles away, I'd love to make the trek over and thank Mr. Brien for creating one of the most epic and valiant logos that any sports team ever wore. Its simply not improvable.And I wish him best of luck on the movie. I look forward to hearing his perspective. 2 Quote
bigskyvikes Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 It was Earl Strinden in the interview who said Ralph said it. Anyone can say someone said something, it don't mean squat...Either way, I think this movie is cool, and I helped fund it. Quote

NoiseInsideMyHead Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 Watch this one, seems like Ben was way under paid and he looks like he regrets it.All artists are underpaid the first time...authors, actors, songwriters, musicians, playwrights. Heck, some of the most celebrated painters and sculptors of all time didn't see a dime during their lifetimes. And it doesn't matter whether they break out with a blockbuster, a best-seller, or a number one hit, because the deal is always negotiated at the front end when there is no leverage and bargaining power is nil. Life ain't fair, but the creative arts are a downright swindle. Quote

Jonwiggle Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Last push for the kick-starter campaign. Looking for about $8500 in the next day or so. Quote
