So what does a million dollars remove (Fighting Sioux logo)

When I was watching the Wild practice today at REA I got to thinking; which logos are
gone and which logos stay? What will a million dollars remove. You also have to wonder what will be put back in it’s place. There will be a lot of empty space.

The Rink Rat had a pretty good post in the logo article that I wrote this weekend.
Check it out:

I’ve long been of the opinion that the most practical move for the University is to keep the logo and nickname, and just live with the consequences. I think they could make a pretty penny on special “tournament edition” jerseys that just have “North Dakota” on them in white script on a green jersey.

Meanwhile, the Ralph wouldn’t be able to host NCAA tournament games again. No big deal: the NCAA wants more neutral sites anyway, and besides, there’s no way another regional at the Ralph could top 2006, with the Sioux going to the Frozen Four and Minnesota losing to Holy Cross.

As for the other sports, well, with the transition to D-I, it’ll probably be a while before any of them have to worry about hosting playoff games.

Maybe, when that becomes a concern, they could do something with hockey like what Long Beach State does with baseball. Every other LBSU team is the 49ers, but the baseball team is the Dirtbags (the fact that Jason Giambi is a Dirtbag has given me no shortage of amusement). Maybe the hockey team could stay the Sioux to keep Ralph’s will happy, then they could change the name of the other teams.

I think if we had stuck to our guns this would have been a viable alternative.

However since our attorney general along with the other power that be capitulated on a winning case and made a deal with the NC$$ then we’re stuck.

Frankly this shows our attorney general as an incompetent or completely oblivious to the feelings of his constituency. 

More on this later.

What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

Whistler I am thinking that the AG isn’t that good either, I won’t be voting for him again. Also, I will not vote for the Democrat so I will leave that one blank.

I forget the exact amount but the Attorney General only capitulated after spending an enormous about of money on out of state “expert” lawyers.

Then he turns around and negotiates a deal which is horrible for the people.

Incompetent is too weak of a word. 

Hell he should be expected to pay for de-logoing the school.

I think it was in the neighborhood of 2 million dollars.
