FJT Miller?

This topic becomes a more interesting question today.

If it was acquired to gift to UND, why's she sitting on it since September 2020? As an "asset" it's done nothing but appreciate since dad put it on jerseys twice. You have to admit that looks a tad shady. Sep 2020 worth: whatever the filing paperwork cost Nov 2022 worth: I can't fathom

ForumComm is Associated Press. That still outreaches Twitter.

Or maybe this was known internally and was a distraction.

As with anything like this ... Who else knew and when did they know it.

#Berrygate ?

How'd she pick to trademark the name that ended up on dad's jerseys ... other than it was dad's preferred nickname (that lost the vote). Too much coincidence for my taste.

Alternatively it could be "buy, protect, gift to UND". But why did she sit on it from September 2020 to now? And if she bought, why didn't she buy what UND had and released (NODAKS)? Why'd she buy the singular version NODAK that ended up on jerseys? Too many open questions.

If that's the case, how'd this happen?

How about we move this conversation to its own thread. https://forum.siouxsports.com/topic/34427-the-nodak-trademark/#comment-1274159

He seems to have a lot coming onto his plate recently ...

Sam Herder and Brett Hein (each with exposé articles linked in this thread) also deserve recognition.

Because Big Sky.

When you find yourself in a hole and getting deeper, step one is ... drop the shovel.

You asked. I gave an example: football has a jersey, and pants. And they use the logo extensively. Please now show me the hockey jersey with the words "Fighting Hawks".

You're right. Instead of down the leg and across the chest it should also be on the white piece on the mask top bar (says Riddell on Tommy's helmet) and on the back of the helmet neck protect pad too. Wait, they have that last one. The logo as a shoulder patch would be a nice touch.

I'm going with "Yes".

The Montana AD brought Glacier Distilling Company's North Fork Rye Whiskey. The NDSU AD brought some corn hooch cooked up in a still in the corner of the meat lab where they also render fats*. *At NDSU tailgates, that's the corked bottle with the Crayola label that says "top shelf".

It's not about websites. NDSU: https://gobison.com/sports/team-makers UND: https://www.ndchampionsclub.com/home It's about pounding the pavement and shaking the trees.

Give Bill Chaves credit: - he had the biggest bid of the 2022 first round - he metered his public words after the brackets came out so to not burn bridges ... publicly Seeing those wise and professional action, I strongly suspect Bill Chaves has had some strong and pointed private conversations with the appropriate persons (e.g. MVFC commissioner, the MVFC committee representative, for starters).

Yes, yes they did. ... the list of rules modified after they "negatively impacted" UND ... - the 2022 FCS seeding (high bid until it's not) - off side reviews for goals (NCAA hockey regional) - hockey regional game times and adding the off day (the COVID fiasco)
