I've heard alot of suggestion so far. Some are pretty humerous but the only name that seems fitting is none. Just plain University of North Dakota. No logo. I've heard alot of funny ones. I'll like to hear any suggestion. Go aheard gopher fans try to offend the Sioux fans winkgrin

Since the Red River flows north, we in Fargo just called them the Siouxage (Sewage). After all, we all know what runs down hill. grin

How about the:

UND Sandbaggers

UND Flood Fighters

UND Dikes

Oh no. We have a Bison on here. I can't wait to play you guys in football again. I think we were the last ones with the Nickel trophy, right.

I can't wait for the future trash talking we'll have once football gets its LONGEST rilvary back(I bet not alot of people knew that). Its a shame that we have to wait but it will happen. Hey, we own you guys the last few years on those games. You bet we'll bring the Nickel back. I rooted for the Bison when they had all there success going D1. I really miss those games.

Oops sorry to hijack the thread. I get a little antsy in the pantsy whenever the old UND-NDSU rilvary comes up.

Lots of Bison on here! I couldn't agree more- I'd love to see a football match up.

How about we just call them the UND Politically Corrects. How what a crock this whole deal is. Are they booted out of the hockey rink now? I thought that was a precondition of using the rink was keeping the name...

There's alot of new developments happening everyday regarding this name change. The most recent is the Spirit lake tribe asking Governor Hoven to step in to stop the name change. Its important for people to know that the Native Americans aren't the ones that decided to change the name recently. It was the NCAA & Sudent Board of Higher Education.

Nope!

The last thing Ralph Englestad would have wanted is to have the Sioux Hockey team kicked out of the Ralph. It's kind of an ole wives tale slash scare tactic is all!

Technically the Englestad trust could do what-ever they want but booting the Hockey team out over the name changes is not going to happen.

I agree with PB.

I know that UND is feeling the pinch with Alumni money. There was to be a few new buildings that were suppose to be built this summer on campus that is being funded by alumni money that is put on hold.

I have a feeling that the Sioux will be able to keep their name. The Board of Higher Education might have done you a favor and decided to make the decision for everyone. This seems to have rallied Spirit Lake and the UND alum. Good luck Sioux fans, I hate you all but I'm on your side! smile

Hope you right. There's a couple of hoops to jump through the NCAA being the big one. Your one of the few Bear that gave credit to SBoHE for pushing this. Maybe they are the smart ones.

UND in case people don't know is trying to go D1, last year was there first year going Division 1. One of the challenges of going D1 is finding a conference so you can fill a schedule. To make a long story short the NCAA has use this nickname against. They have the power of giving approval for a school to enter a conference. You can see the delima that UND has. They ultimatly need the NCAA approval or UND's other programs will struggle.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
