Odegard will join other prominent North Dakota residents – past and present – who have connections to UND, including famed aviator and explorer Carl Ben Eielson, NHL hockey star Cliff “Fido” Purpur, Judge Ronald Davies, NBA player and coach Phil Jackson, U.S. military leader Gen. David Jones,  former UND President Tom Clifford and North Dakota Chief Justice Gerald VandeWalle.

Wasn't he up for the "Fighting Hawk" award as well?  I know he turned down the "Sundog" award!

Just what we need ... another hawk ...

To go with Miami's RedHawks.

Too far? How about Dickinson State's Blue Hawks (formerly Savages) and the F-M Red Hawks of the American Association (baseball).

We will Fight them all

sure a dumb name - I bet they did not hire a committee to research it
