Waffles Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 My favorite moment of the Minot City ABA franchise era was when I went on Mapquest to find out just where the hell Minot City is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 And, why in the world was it "Minot City," anyway? It's Minot. Or, as I've heard, "Why not Minot?" (Followed by, "Let me tell you...") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brass Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Dude, I know how you feel. I will admit that I cried on that day April 13th, 1997. I cried like a 10 year old girl, and I'm not ashammed to admit it. If you know what happened that day, good, but it still hurts me inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, truth be told, any day the ABA does something is a sad day in basketball.I for one will be emailing the ownership of the franchise and requesting that the team keep the name Freeze, in memory of the storied history of the team and what it means to North Dakotans everywhere.Or to ask for a return of the Snowbears moniker.Or, as a compromise, to combine the two names into "FreeBears," and have Lynyrd Skynyrd play at halftime.

You'd pick that over the Carolina Thunder's Hot Wheels logo? Or the Boston Frenzy's Hooking Shark? Or the Pittsburgh Hardhat's Pittsburgh Hardhat Guy? Or the Tijuana Diablo's um... Thingie?Yeah, okay. I rescind my opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
