Huh didn't realise the impact that UND has had on Chicago sports.

Better picture of a Canadian legend and an American hero at North Dakota.
Could probably fill this with hockey players. Not so much anything else.
Marie Claire went to UND?? Who knew....

I went to Marquette and then to UND. I wear a UND Fighting Sioux shirt under my Marquette Warriors sweatshirt.
Why we didn't just change the mascot to something like a golden state situation is beyond me. could have easily kept the name warriors

Ignore the "funny guys"
They think they are "smarter" than everyone else...

keen memory? forgive and forget 8-) 8-)
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.
So was Roger Maris. That about completes the list.

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.

In my early adult years, my friends could always tell I was drunk because my southern accent came back. Otherwise, I could turn it on and off at will.
By the way, northern guys are suckers for a southern accent.
Yes we are. But an Irish accent really weakens my knees.

Now you have a highly honed podcast voice. 8-)
Along those lines, it's crazy when you get a chance to chat with Charlie Berens and he's speaking to you in his regular voice.

My Dad (born 1930 and raised in Rockford, IL) used to pronounce it warsh. I always thought he was just trying to funny when he pronounced it like that.

The say "warsh" down south as well. Then you "rinch".
Dad used to say cat-feesh

Just remember, y'all is singular and all y'all is plural.
Maybe it was because I spent far too much time in the south but a female southern accent was always a trigger to run the other way for me. Now, if you want to talk about the Sheila accent, woo boy.

No accents from Connecticut. The Marquette friends were always surprised. I just always surmised Boston/Rhode Island accents and New York City/Long Island accents just cancelled each other out in Connecticut. Only word the Midwesterners could detect "something" was the word
length. My friend from southern Illinois spoke normally except when stating he was doing the "warsh".

As a nutmegger to say "New Britain" and their accent appears. You are right that it doesn't have a strong accent though in the middle of some of the strobgest (you forgot Maine!).

There are people from southern Illinois that have a stronger drawl than anyone I've met from eastern Texas or southern Alabama

I remember sitting in the hallway of Schroeder my freshman year talking on the phone. One of the floormates walked by looking at me strange. I asked "What???". He said "what happened to your voice? You are talking like someone from the South."
I was talking on the phone to my friends in Alabama and slipped back into a southern accents while talking to them.
To this day, while on customer calls with people in South Carolina and Alabama, my accent changes back.
