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!!

Dave, the tradition was destroyed the day the settlement was signed. Those who have accepted it, have done so on their own timetable. Very few of us are thrilled that it happened. I was glad when the "yes" vote won, but still mourned the loss of the name. I have been a Sioux fan since I can remember and even before that. I sat in the middle of the horseshoe of the old Field House and watched Phil Jackson play BB. I went to the old barn to watch hockey. I will miss the name, but the athletes will still be playing for the University of North Dakota, my favorite school.

North Dakota State higher ed board OKs UND engineering name changes I knew there had been a growth in the engineering department, but had no idea that it had grown 40% since 2008.

I can't believe this is coming from UMD. I would have thought something like this would come from an east coast or California school. University sponsors campaign to undermine 'white privilege' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Do_w2V0-3D0

Ditto that!

I pulled out my 100 years of UND BB and you are correct, it is Jerry Schultz. He is on the All-Decade team for the 1960's.

Man, that story just won't end. It has been a long off season on the Gulf Coast. (In my best Cliff Clavin voice) Little known fact... the Saints colors black and gold are due to oil being called "black gold". With all of the oil in ND, trot out a new name Saints with black and gold..... or not.

Could we use the fleur de lis as my favorite NFL team does?

You are making my gut hurt from laughing. :lol:

I see that Dubuque uses the name, but let me throw it out there for possibilities... Mystiques. 1: an air or attitude of mystery and reverence developing around something or someone 2: the special esoteric skill essential in a calling or activity also ...an aura of mystery or mystical power surrounding a particular occupation or pursuit: the mystique of nuclear science.

Just don't implicate me in this.... http://forum.siouxsports.com/topic/16241-2012-early-look/page__st__340#entry565598

I find it difficult to believe that UND would be penalized by the NCAA, when it was an NCAA employee that made the mistake.

Devin Coyle, UND 2012, was the ND Offensive MVP.
