You got it in one, 105. WTH is a Thunderhawk anyway?  It's a stupid, made-up name.

Maybe North Dakota should take The Fighting Sue as a mascot.  At least the phonetics would still work on all the songs and cheers.

EDIT: Accordig to Wikipedia it's a "Thunderhawk Gunship (Warhammer 40,000), a space craft used primarily to transport Space Marines to and from orbit in the Warhammer 40,000 universe."  A bit micro-aggressive, that.

If they were in the MIAC would they follow convention and name themselves the "Dakoties"?

Sort of like how the Washington Redskins should change the picture of their logo to a red skin potato just to shut the politically correct creeps up.

Maybe still put a face on it just to bug the crap out of 'em.

We should get a pick'em going on this:

Changing from the Sioux to the Cavalry would be just wrong!  Although it would be funny to have a likeness of Col. Custer as a mascot.   

Blaze
Cavalry
Explorers
Fighting Green
Fighting Hawks
Force
Green Hawks
Nodaks
North Dakota
North Stars
Pride
Roughriders
Spirit
Sundogs
Thunder Hawks

Disappointed Buffalo didn't make the final cut.  Since many people are already confused between UND and NDSU I thought this might help clear things up.

I'd cheer for the Fighting NoDaks.  Was there any attempt to try for "Fighting D/Lakota"?  Wouldn't that be much more acceptable to the Native American community?

How about the UND Prairie Chickens?

  I don't think anyone would grouse about that.

Maybe just call them "Pat" like the SNL character played by Julia Sweeney. Nobody could really bitch about the nickname/mascot because they wouldn't be sure if they are truly offend or just politically correct offend.   ....Gasp!

They should put their mouths where their money is.  They should be the North Dakota Frackers.

In the good humor department, this guy painted "WELCOME TO CLEVELAND" on the roof of his building which is adjacent to Milwaukee's Mitchell International Airport.

There was a spectacular game between Geelong and Port Adelaide last night. Hard, tight, skilful and feisty from the opening bounce to the final siren. I'll keep my eyes open to see if it gets posted to YouTube. It's the perfect game for the casual observer.

Why?- "To mess with people"

Here are the Geelong v Port Adelaide highlights. What a game. These highlights make me want to watch the replay. I'll keep my eye open for a full game posting.

For those who aren't regular readers, Frank Rajkowski had a Johnnie football chat in Friday's St. Cloud Times.  Not that it was the most informative one he's ever done, but nevertheless, some news and discussion is better than none.  I won't link it here, you know where to find it.
