  1. Awesome. They picked the most generic, boring, safe new logo to go along with the most generic, boring, safe new name. How freakin' ugly is this??????????????????
  2. BREAKING!!!!!! Nick Schmaltz is returning...... to his seat at the movie theater after using the restroom. Ok - I'm done.
  3. BREAKING!!!!!! Nick Schmaltz is returning...... his shirt to JC Pennys, it just didnt fit quite right
  4. That's why he's captain.
  5. I think Dane Jackson is under appreciated. And I believe Hak wanted him in Philly, but he choose to stay.
  6. I smell a Hobey Baker...
  7. Totally agree. Cam is MVP in my eyes. Yes we had guys that can bury the puck, but it's so much easier when you're playing with a lead, or a tie, and not playing catch up - and Cam provided that. He made many sick, crucial saves that could have changed momentum and maybe ND would have grab those sticks a little tighter. Instead he just demoralized the opponents.
  8. You should be proud of your teams season. And you are a knowledgeable, passionate fan and a good sport. Lets do it again next year.
  9. That is awesome, well played. But I was more of a Bailey Quarters guy...
  10. Ticket has been claimed. Go Sioux!
  11. Just had a buddy drop out, can't find a replacement. blue line sioux attack zone. free for a loyal sioux fan, or just buy me a beer.
  12. He's right. We just went from a nationally known iconic name to a generic piece of... You may make fun of Gophers, but when you hear it you know right away it's Minnesota. You hear Hawks and right away you say... which one?
  13. I went to RR and could care less. Nobody outside GF cares - and many inside don't. Remember this is a name that will be projected worldwide, and nobody outside GF and certainly ND knows or cares. And I apologize to everyone for repeating the same stuff - were all repeating the same stuff - what a cluster **** this whole thing has been.
  14. But I guess Hawks is edgy?
  15. Nice logo. And a great album! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4LK1wJWKrg
  16. This got my curiosity going, so I'm posting the original criteria just for kicks... 1)Be unique, recognizable,inspiring and distinctly UND 2)Promote a sense of pride,strength, fierceness, andpassion 3)Be representative of the state and region in a way that honors the traditions & heritage of the past but also looks to the future 4)Be a unifying & rallying symbol 5)Ease of Depicting/Personifying Physical Mascot 6)Cheer/Battle Cry Considerations 7)Meaning of Nickname 8)Linguistic Considerations: Pronounciation 9)Linguistic Considerations: Likelihood of name being abridged resulting indifferent name or name similar to existing name
  17. Looks like Adam Tambellini just got a new roommate.

  19. I think it's important to look at this from a business prospective. UND is a big business. It is a major employer and revenue generator for ND. Consequently this is an important marketing, advertising and PR decision. If someone from Missouri likes, hates or cares less for our name - fine, but every institution, business, etc. worth a damn cares deeply about their brand and the image it projects. Millions of $$$ are spent each year on logo designs for good reason. I would go on about why I think RR is best for this, but were all just repeating ourselves now...
  20. I care deeply what other schools think of our name, and our state. A big reason why I feel so strongly about this. UND is ND flagship institution, it projects an image to the county and the world (yes it has international reach). I certainly want the best image and logo projected to attract students, athletes, teachers, etc. and help UND and ND become even better.
  21. Then hawks it will be!
  22. If the Nodak camp (and SunDogs and North Stars too!) would rally around RR, I think RR would prevail over FH. I know they may not like that, and may ask why can't RR people back NoDaks. And the answer is RR was 2nd, Nodak was 3rd. The RR and Nodak camps think alike. They both want a nickname with SOME imagination, uniqueness and flair, and cringe at ending up with a nickname completely, utterly BORING and totally FORGETFUL. So I am respectfully asking, pleading, begging the Nodak camp (and others!) to please back RR.
  23. IF there is a second runoff vote.... That's a big if. Voters need to rally around RR, the 2nd leading vote getter, or it will be FH... forever! And you will never hear me cheer 'Lets go Hawks'. Does that make me a bad supporter? Probably. But Hawks is just sooooo lame.
  24. What a horrible reason to pick FH. So anytime someone says 'hawks' were suppose to yell Sioux? How long will that good times last? As time passes this impulse to yell 'Sioux' will fade - sorry to say. But that bland, unimaginative name will still remain. Remember, this decision is forever (theoretically)
