      That makes sense. Now that the oil boom is crashing, North Dakota is basically a black hole.

          I heard they were going to honor the oil boom and their love of ice fishing by calling the team the Bakken Iceholes.

                    As a statistician I find this an affront to my heritage and I should note that they have neither sought permission from my tribe nor the computer science tribe with whom we share this sacred name. We feel the permission granted by the business management tribe is neither appropriate nor binding as they do not represent the spirit of our peoples.

                      You forgot to throw in 'hostile and abusive'. Other than that, well done!

                          Waste of time. My good bud and UND insider tells me they've all but decided. Just waiting for the formal announcement.
