Ask Dan.

Ahem, you said "nothing". Winning conference championships is "something". Obviously the bar is quite a bit higher than winning conference trophies, but winning them is one of the goals the teams strive for during the season. It is not the ulitmate goal of the players, coaches, or fans, but a goal nonetheless.

Didn't Dave Kolpack call UND North Dakota's flag ship a couple of weeks ago. Let's take his advice.... THE North Dakota Flagship. The logo could be the jolly roger. The hockey players could be called ice pirates. Basketball.. deck hands. The football team the crew, with lineman as the lubbers. And UND puts another opponent into Davy Jones locker.

Disappointments are part of life. I don't expect everything to be peachy every day. UND will have up days and down. I am definitely looking forward to what the future holds for UND athletics. Big Sky membership in 5 days, new television contracts, new hockey conference in 2013 and maybe one day... a new IPF.

If Hurricanes, Cyclones and Golden Hurricanes are okay, Tsunamis should be okay. Although, what would a logo look like? Would it be similar to Tulane's Green Wave?

Maybe some creative type with waaaay too much time on their hands can make a "downfall" video about the issue.

Last year UND football took the Great West title. UND men's hockey won the Broadmoor Trophy (which UND has won 3 years in a row). Both the men's and women's hockey teams participated in the NCAA tournaments. The men's BB team took it to your boys. Yeah, "nothing".

UWF is embarking on a very ambitious athletics facilitiies plan. [media=]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6L6_9VINjs I'm sure, like UND, the plan will take years and years to build.

Too easily morphed into "nurses" by certain rival fan bases.

What began as almost too much of a build-up is only $25M from realizing its goal.... UND Foundation confident donors will meet $300 million goal

Midcontinent Communications acquires broadcasting rights of UND athletics For those in Fargo...

UND inks 5-year broadcast deal with Midcontinent

Let's talk full athletic departments. UND vs Montana. Which would I rather have?..... UND hands down. Do I want UND to have the same success Montana has had in football, yes. Jealous of Montana...No.

It is even more impressive when you look at some of the schools that UND is ahead of.... Cal is at 56 Purdue at 62. GA Tech is 63

Comparing the Fargodome to REA... :lol:

UND has the largest social media following of any NCAA DI FCS school in the nation UND ranks #54 overall, between UVA and Kansas State, and #1 of the FCS schools.

I forgot about the Outlaws idea. Lot's of potential.

The excitement is building.

I just thought that it tied in nicely with UND's aviation department. Don't go all historical on me watchmaker.

The name Spitfires hit me yesterday, but when I looked it up, the Windsor hockey team is using that name.

You do realize that the 13 schools is football only. Other sports will be 11 schools. Yes, it will be more difficult to win conference championships, but will be that much sweeter when UND wins them.

Okay Dan, you made me laugh at that one.

Wait... I wasn't supposed to be drinking schnapps at football games at Memorial?

NDSU president dinged league’s commisioner in eval Connecting some dots here, Douple claims he was the spokesperson for the league on the UND logo issue. So if Bresciani didn't see why Douple got involved, it kind of blows a hole in Douple's statement that UND was asking him to do it. Douple is now commish of the Summit through 2017. Two words.... BIg Sky!!
