     "Anti-hockey" aim? Many "UND hockey only" fans exist, not so many "anti hockey" in my experience.  For me personally, I have both UND hockey and UND football season tickets. A few of the folks that I have been sitting by at the Ralph dislike "other"!UND athletics; in fact, one individual has had NDSU football season tickets AND UND hockey season tickets for over 10 years. The Ralph is just a emblem of status and is used as such for some; little link to UND for some of these folks compared to it acting as a social event. These types do exist I'm afraid. 

    I'll  change anti hockey to those in this thread who are ripping hockey, the program,  the team,  the coaches,  etc

    Like oxbow, I've never heard anyone at hockey ragging on other UND sports. In fact,  most everyone I know has tickets for all sports

    That appears to be back to normal.  :)

     

    Finally tried the improved baker boy bun grinder today, and can't tell it from the Hugo's bun. Some may like it better. Can now go back to my regularly scheduled grinder.

    Technically the Peregrine is a Falcon and not a Hawk but in North America it is also known as the Duck Hawk. I would like to see a logo based on the power and speed and hunting abilities of this hunting machine. It is the fastest creature in the Animal Kingdom with speeds of up to 240 mph.

    That would be my first choice, other than it being a falcon. I've seen the stoop often on the islands off the shores of S. Texas, as well as one taking a mallard over my goose decoys in northwest North Dakota

    Would people prefer any of these logos?  Are these so much better?  People complain about the Fighting Hawks name being unoriginal.  Should UND have further perpetuated that by choosing another bird logo like all these others?!! 

    The BC eagle logo, (the one with the full eagle, not just the head), change colors,  change BC to ND, and change the eagle to a hawk (ferruginous or rough legged) and I'll buy it. We're stuck with hawks,  at least have a logo that is one. 

    Teeth, muscles, etc, NOOOOOO

    Couldn't quickly find a hawk image, but I'd like to see a full bodied raptor in a stoop, talons extended, like the eagle above. If it has to be just a partial bird, something more like the Air Force falcon, with talons extended (shown just for the talons extended, not that big a fan of it otherwise). I was hoping for at least something like that when Ed unveiled the awful logo.

    While I've become accustomed to the current logo (black and white on green background, green and white on black background, but never on gray like Ed's sweatshirt during the unveiling), I still would like to see something much more like the image (the eagle) above.

    Have you tried it since they switched the bread?  I thought it was pretty good, but I haven't been a grinder regular over the years. 

    Tried the first version. Hated it.  Haven't tried the recent "improved" version

    Still waiting for the word from Sprig.

    Was at the Pep today and thought for a second about getting a grinder. Then I remembered I wouldn't even remember what the old bread taste like, as I'm more of a tostada kind of guy.

    While I'm willing to cough up the $6, I'm not willing to choke down even one bite of anything close to what i ate the one time i had the "new"  bread.

    (men's hockey, football, men's and women's basketball and volleyball). RE Arena Inc. retains 52 percent of such ticket revenue and remits 48 percent to UND.

    RE Arena Inc. retains 64 percent of such sponsorship revenue, net of direct costs and remits 36 percent to the UND net of direct costs."

    The NDUS report states that in fiscal year 2017, gross tickets sales were $4.6 million—meaning RE Arena Inc. took a $2.4 million share and UND was awarded $2.2 million.

    In terms of advertising (also labeled sponsorship in the document), RE Arena Inc. made $769,000 and paid out $432,000 to UND

     

     

    Where's the rest of the money. Where does food and beer sales go? 

    I'm going to take a shot at the $. This will take some time and estimates and fine tune as go along. Any help much appreciated.

    If FB had over 2,000 students ave and the Hawks Nest had over 10,000 avg attendance, then 8,000 seats sold. Times $25 seat = $200,000 x 5 games = 1M$, also remember $400,000 or whatever from FBS Utah game, which I'm not adding in.

    MBB about 1500 seats

    WBB??      

    VB ??

    If Hockey had over 3,000 students and The Ralph had over 11,000 avg attendance, then 8,000 seats sold. Times $45 seat $360,000 x 18 games not counting playoffs = 6.5M$. No counting what students pay for their tickets.

    This seems more like 8M$ in ticket sales where the reports from Tupa's post and SBoHE show 4.6M$

    Please tell me I'm doing something wrong here?

    Season tickets for hockey are not face value.  They are $465 (45 for the quarterfinal 2 of  playoff series). Your math would equal 810 per seat. 

    Season football tickets, 95 for  5 games.

    Sounds like Hornbachers is still working on the formula to try and emulate the old Hugos buns.  The current product isn't the end product right now.

    They need to announce it when they figure it out. I won't eat another hoping for it to be changed.

    Are the rest of the grinder ingredients the same at RP East as the original RP?

    Don't know. The other option is buy the buns at hugos, pint of white sauce and taco meat from rp, regular summer  sausage and white American from l&m, and any  store for shredded iceberg lettuce,  and a red pepper sauce from your fridge (cholula is my choice). And you have a rp salami grinder with taco meat

    Buddy... I'm pretty sure this whole things is a joke. Say Mike Hawk slowly....

     So Mike Hunt is out as well (as in Hawk hunting prey, of course)?

  12. Who was the u17 player that was brought up to play with the u18s just before they played at the Ralph last season. 

    Is he still on the u18 team in the current gold medal game? And has he committed anywhere? Also has Hughes committed?
