Goofers are insane

UND decided to further insult the cherished memory of the Fighting Sioux name by forcing this lame new nickname/logo on the public. That is what happened to me never posting here again. Any more questions, smarty pants?

 

I have a question Dave, did you even attend UND. Last time I checked, it doesn't say Fighting Sioux on my two diplomas. It says University of North Dakota. So, I am loyal to my school no matter now lame the nickname might be.

Yeah, that's what I assumed you meant. I was saying UND fans are to Gopher hockey what Bison fans are to UND football. Do you not recognize the difference between your comment and mine? We are not in agreement, which makes me a little confused by your previous post.

 

Whatever makes you feel good Dave.

I think once a "smarty pants" taunt has been thrown down, the thread should be closed. There's no coming back from that.

No one even uses that term anymore.

In trying to decide whom is the most arrogant, it appears as though we have outed ourselves.

Or UND fans show up in droves the rest of the year to cheer for whoever is playing the goofs

  Which, thanks to Big Ten gametime scheduling, means we won't miss UND games.

Dude, you misinterpreted his statement.  It's okay, you're among friends.

Well then I am most certainly not any part of the "we" that you're referring to, because the way I see it the UND fans are the ones who are just like Bison fans. Between UND hockey and NDSU football I am really having a hard time deciding which fanbase is more arrogant.

Well we do have our reasons  ...

Makes sense now. Goofer and Penguins fan. What a terrible combination.

I think the Penguins are the NHL's version of the Gophers a bunch of whining crybabies, I am pointing the finger at Malkin and Crosby. The Vancouver Canucks are second.

Who died and left you in charge of assigning a limit of one forum to each person? As a matter of fact I am registered at that forum as well as this one and (GASP) many other ones too. People around here have such weak comebacks.

You throw away allegiances like an old toothbrush.  Sad really.

What I paid for: an education, a university experience, a career, a pretty decent life.

So I respect that University for what it did for me. Sure, there are bumps in the relationship, show me a relationship without bumps, but for me my relationship with the University of North Dakota, and all it offers, and all it did for me, goes far beyond a nickname and a logo. 

I love a University that has an athletics program and so much more.

As long as you like the product being offered by all means continue to buy it, but speaking for myself personally I do not like the current product being offered.

I was pretty happy with the end result of the "product" this year! 
Glorious offseason, my friends! 

[The Sicatoka]

If you were a Washington Bullets fan and didn't like the new Wizards name you probably became a Knicks or Sixers fan. It's just a sports franchise.

I am a University of North Dakota fan.

That is your opinion, which you are very much entitled to. Speaking for myself, I follow college sports the same way that I follow pro sports. I will say it is "just a college sports program" in the very same context that I'll say it is "just a pro sports franchise". I don't cheer for geography, I cheer for teams. I am big on nicknames and logos. Back when the Penguins were rumored to be on the verge of possibly moving to Kansas City I was very nervous, not at the idea of them leaving Pittsburgh but rather at the thought of a possible name change. I could support the Kansas City Penguins just as I support the Pittsburgh Penguins but if they changed the name it would have been a deal breaker. Once the name is changed it marks the end of one program/franchise and the beginning of a new one. You don't have to share my viewpoint, but you have to respect the fact that I am entitled to it. It is wrong to tell somebody their feelings are wrong.

Your feelings are wrong.

I like a winning team as much as the next fan, but I don't like it at any cost. I would rather lose with integrity than sell my soul to win.

I hate the new name and logo with the passionate of 1000 sons .....

but what you've said makes about as much sense as two monkeys playing banjo sandwiches underwater.  

And by all means if you have so much integrity about walking away from the program, don't let the door hit ya where the good lord spit ya on the way outta here too.

Minnesota went from having only Minnesota kids (integrity). To need to get players from Canada, Sweden, Finland, and other States to win National Titles.

You better jump off the SS Minnesota any time now.

Sounds like, from all your diatribes, you cheer for names and logos, and will drop a team in a heartbeat if their name and logo changes. You need counseling, and probably not the kind you get here.
