The feathers on the William and Mary logo got them the NCAA "stink eye". Just feathers; not a headdress on something that doesn't wear headdress. https://www.google.com/search?q=william+and+mary+logo+with+feathers&espv=2&biw=1920&bih=995&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAWoVChMInL3svveayQIVyG0eCh39egEJ

Folks that are hung up by the condom company either (a) have never needed such an item, or (b) maybe their father did. WOW! There. I said it. The USC Trojans seem to get along just fine. As to the Troy State (Alabama) Trojans.

Maplesoft* for their youth hockey in Ontario. http://maplesofthawks.com/ So, no, that will not be UND's logo. Next question. *Yes, the Canadian software giant, maker of mathematical and analytical software. That Maplesoft.

A bird with a headdress will not be the logo. Next question.

If you believe the new logo will look anything like the "Maplesoft" ... here's a Doobie for you.

For all those expecting the "Maplesoft" logo ... here's a Doobie for you.

I had an on-going dialog with Kupchella and Harmeson on this subject (and the Roughriders name for that matter). When Kelley came in that ended. What control I had disappeared.

We got the hot crap sandwich minus the hershey-squirts gravy. Yay. GO HAWKS! Which? CHI (NHL)? ATL (NBA)? U of Iowa? Miami of Ohio? UM-Lowell? Dickinson State? Fargo-Moorhead (semi-pro baseball)? Maplesoft youth hockey (Ontario)?

Yup. Those of us vested in UND Athletics started infighting instead of acting and demanding. That allowed Kelley and his minions to take over the process and outcome. In a phrase ... We failed to control what is ours to control.

Go to UND and you become a North Dakotan because you have to be strong enough to live here.

Link, or it never happened.

I think the "p" and "h" keys are reversed on your keyboard.

Never thought I'd say this, but have one for me.

I foresee some designer staring too long at the old geometric logo and coming up with a bird.

Well said.

Sad day: The 'yote gets it; the North Dakotans don't.

Yeah, dagies, be happy: You just got junk punched instead of a sucking chest wound.

Congratulations to the Taken Alives, Tex Hall, BRIDGES, and all the folks that claimed the old name meant "little snake". In your honor ...

Yes, completely safe. Bob Kelley smiles. But there will be controversy when those folks that voted for FH figure out the "Maplesoft Hawks" logo won't be at UND.

"What? Ben who? I thought that cool looking Chicago Blackhawks logo inspired bird was going to be the logo." The above is a preview of what you'll be hearing from students within three months. ... wait for it ... book it.

So we got tossed the bird ...

New poll: - How many minutes (late) after 10 do they start? - How long do they blather about "process and journey to this point" before they reveal?

I thought Hal was president emeritus of the %gobc. To stab him by going to Rite Spot is an unspeakable atrocity.

Uh ... back in the late 1980s a guy from Walsh Hall** showed up at a Halloween hockey game dressed as such*, including reservoir tip. Precedent. *He got kicked out. **No, not me.
