I had a whirlwind tour of the highlights of North Dakota.
Saw the tallest building in ND, visited the ND Hall of Fame and the capital. It was all the same building........

While not an alum, I learned Lawrence Welk is a native North Dakotan.

Most guys are smarter than calling an incoming recruit "trash"

no idea what this means
I’ve never insulted any player/coach or even poster.

If you are so inclined, go to the Dodds site and look for the North Dakota preview. Find the highlights of the last North Dakota game. Listen to the lady's North Dakota brogue. So awesome.

Gosh Tower, I'll buy you a beer at the Georgetown home game in March and you can hear my Dakota accent live.....

I love accents. I find them fascinating. Drawls, New England, Yooper, Irish, Canadian, British, Aussie, love em all. Which is why I did not say anything negative about her accent. I thought it was 'so awesome'.

Me too. When I was a waitress in Nashville near Opryland someone would be ordering and I would say, "You're from Wisconsin, aren't you?" and they would be shocked. Except for the folks in the deep South, no one thinks they themselves have an accent.

On my first date with my wife, after listening to her talk for a while, I asked if she was was from Indiana or Ohio, as it was clear that she was not from Michigan. The word that gave her away was 'wash', which she pronounced 'warsh' and the answer was Ft. Wayne. She swooned and the rest is history.

I enjoy confusing people with my "accent". I've picked up a number of regional aspects from my travels/years moving around the country. I've got west coast, midwestern (Ohio, Chicago, and SE Wisconsin), southern, Florida (yes they are different) and a little Northeast thrown in there for good measure.

I agree, accents are a fun game.
