    100.  The D2 line groups from 2000-2007 were head and shoulders above any O line since.  

    No raw emotion, intensity or nastiness.  WTF is wrong with these )*&$%^(#?

    FWIW players read this forum

    Forgot to post about Torrey Hunt. Defensively, it appears he made a visit to the wizard last week. He was making tackles all over the field and was very aggressive. He did a really good job all game. Special teams he made some mistakes but his performance at corner was much more important. 

    Nah not the wizard....just Mom and Dad in the stands this time:D

    We had to pay for the one on the left...the one on the right means a little more and was given to us. :) I say just go win one of those.

    You have taken good care of them and are justifiably proud to post them.

    They're Nice!! It's a little late...but Congratulations!! 

    Note: In the current environment there is no assurance a National Championship gets these Hawks a ring unless the FCS buys them.

    So donate to the athletic department with a specific intent for the money to buy rings?

    I'll ask UND Compliance....

    So. Are we going to talk about it or are we going to try and get 35k together for these rings?

    I "think" the only allowable options are:

    1) School purchase

    2) Student/Parent purchase

    100 rings aint cheap. Especially if they're half decent.

    Max NCAA will allow a school to spend on a Conference Championship ring is $315 each....$415 for a National Championship ring.

  7. There are several Tweets floating out there (didn't want to post it on a UND Forum out of respect;)) with EWU flaunting their 2016 BigSky Champ Rings...they look pretty nice...Although a ring with the new Fighting Hawk Logo would look nicer!!!!!

    Someone mentioned if you're playing for a ring then your priorities are skewed (or something like that). I Agree, in the voice of Herm Edwards, "YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME!!" The ring is just a symbol of achieving a level of success (like the BigSky Trophy).

    Anyway, I have no problem buying my "Little Johnny" a ring with an approved Fighting Hawk design if it is available. Maybe not a big deal now....looking back in a few years it could be an opportunity missed. As for funding, I understand UND is cash strapped (broke) and their Boosters already give plenty; they are not a money tree!! Besides, the NCAA would probably have a **it fit about it!!!

    Any designers wanna whip up some prototype design suggestions???

    The NCAA verbiage you quoted seems slightly contradictory. Is it one full competitive season of eligibility lost or one full calendar year, it says both but it can't be both in this case. Very confusing.

    By design maybe??

    This sounds like UND staff knew about it, wasn't going to report it, but got caught????? That can't be right.

    One failed test is a FULL SEASON??

    Per NCAA: The penalty for a positive test for a performance-enhancing drug (PED) is strict and automatic: student-athletes lose one full year of eligibility for the first offense (25 percent of their total eligibility) and are withheld from competition for 365 days from the date of the test. A second positive test for a PED results in the loss of all remaining eligibility.
