From my understanding, UND has reached an agreement with the NCAA and the arena won’t be changed. Read more

You’re fucking with me. There’s no way this actually influenced a significant number of votes, right? Read more

Funny, given your username, but not at all true. Of the five finalists I actively like Nodaks and Sundogs, plus there were hundreds of others in the suggestions that I would’ve been okay with. Read more
