That was turrrible. A disservice to journalism anywhere.

Good call. Forgot about that. It originally was a product of the gameday committee.

I can understand the cynicism... but from what I've seen this is being led by students and alums. The administration also has said they are staying out of it until the students make their pick. Kennedy also has said that he will defer to the students' design pick, whichever one of the options they vote for. But again, I get what you're saying.

Yes, my mistake.... students and alumni.

Students said they wanted it. Edit: And an alum(s) wanted to put up the money to make it happen. These people have given a lot to the University to help in other areas, such as athletics and academics.

This is what die-hard Fighting Hawkers will be saying in 90 years after the birds finally take over the world and outlaw ornithological names and mascots.

The choices will be revealed to students next Monday, and not before.

What if it's a chick?

And Haas.

Woot woot! Down go the Griz

3-0 Final. Van Domelin CG 11Ks scattered 4 hits. UND tied for first in conference standings with Griz. Onto game 2.

3-0. Good guys, er, Hawks.

It was also in yesterday’s edition of UND Today. Cool deal! This includes $75,000 for athletics on top of their existing endowment for athletics. http://blogs.und.edu/und-today/2018/03/alum-couple-says-thanks-a-million/

Did you get the sense that the juniors were a little unsure about the seemingly bigger challenge that the Summit might bring with the South Dakota schools and all. Maybe they sensed the road to a title would be a little easier in the familiar territory of the Big Sky. I don’t know. Interesting.

I don’t get your logic. You bemoan a private business setting up in Casselton, 17 miles away from Fargo, because Fargo will benefit from it. But you can’t fathom a scenario, with an even more direct tie to Grand Forks, with multiple businesses setting up near the GFAFB, as similarly beneficial to Grand Forks, only 13 miles away. Grand Sky’s success has great potential to send ripples of benefits throughout the county, and nowhere more than the regional epicenter that is Grand Forks (spinoff jobs, families in houses, kids in schools, etc. ) These things would not be happening here without UND and the perfect drone ecosystem that exists around Grand Forks with the Base, FAA drone testing area, Border Protection and Air Guard. Fargo can’t duplicate these assets (apart from air guard) but even if they do score a success in drones here and there — who cares? Any success anywhere in the state should be lauded and not poo-pooed with petulant jealousy. If private industry decides it wants to set up in Grand Forks city limits to do its business... that would be fine and dandy. Let them do it. More power to them. But the more likely scenario — and wiser move—is that they would want to set up shop where the drone synergies are at — at Grand Sky. And yes, despite your blind spot for logic, Moser, Grand Forks would still benefit. IMHO, you need to put your petty jealousies and parochial tendencies aside and see the bigger pictures that are all around you.

They’re putting it in Casselton, out in the middle of Cass County, so Fargo won’t reap the benefits. It’s a new conspiracy against Fargo. Don’t have a link, but you can believe it. (So purple).

F’n A, Cotton! Idiotic fans. What are they thinking!!?? First rule of fandom... never express hope or glass-half -full opinions. Always mire oneself in absolutes and brutal honesty to the point where you’ve expunged all fun and you’re indistinguishable from SU trollers. “Hope springs eternal”?? — screw that noise! We are what we are, FHawks fans. Until we’re not. Get use to it. And quit trying to hope yourself out of the cellar. Tell you what, hope in one hand and crap in the other, and see which one fills up quicker. Get the point? No room for inane optimism in here. That’s simply weakness entering the fan base. No fun allowed. This is a business, so get back on the depression wagon and get back to work hating on these young men. Tough love is the only way, folks. Quit making them think they might have an iota of a chance. That’s pu$$y talk. They won’t get better any other way! C’mon. Sheesh! LOL!

Like what?

It's one possible idea in a 30-year planning cycle. This is why it's tough to do business in the public sector. Folks glom on to one possibility (in some cases the most extreme) and act like it's the only option and that the decisions are already made and set in stone. As an open government proponent, I wouldn't have it any other way. But it sure is a challenge to appear like you're a well-oiled machine just humming along when the whole world gets a peek at how your sausage is made. This is why there's a perception that corporations and private colleges do things better .... they have the same issues, they just get to keep it behind closed doors.

Ok, Chris Semrau. ( ;

In a better location, too!

Holy melodrama, Batman! Step away from the cliff.
