I love how so many seem to think that some original name was going to be announced today after knowing for several weeks what the two possible results would be. If it would have been the other way, I am sure we would have been seeing much the same comments from the FH crowd, lamenting how unoriginal it is to have the same nickname as a high school in Grand Forks -- again, after knowing for several weeks what the two results might be. The fiened incredulity is a bit nauseating. I guess this is just the pissing and moaning stage.

Fighting Hawks!!! I'm on board!

It's a 50/50 guess for anyone at this point... .but undoubtedly, it's leaking all over the place. but that said, hell, even the Wisco ESPN3 announcer knows.

The official notice of a presser for today is below: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: NEWS CONFERENCE NOTICE: UND to announce new nickname TODAY The University of North Dakota will hold a news conference today, Wednesday, Nov. 18, at 10 a.m.in the Television Center in Skalicky Hall on the most western edge of the UND campus to announce the new nickname for the University of North Dakota. WHAT: News Conference to announce UND’s new nickname WHEN: Wednesday, Nov. 18, 10 a.m. WHERE: Television Center, Skalicky Hall (on the western edge of the UND campus) WHO: President Robert Kelley, Others Contact: Peter Johnson Executive Associate Vice President for University Relations Division of University & Public Affairs University of North Dakota (701) 777-4317 work (701) 740-5398 cell

that's my guess, too.

I've heard good things about Avants, too.

I was surprised in a good way. They will only get better!

Final. 52-67. UND. Dyer with game high 23. Roscoe with 14 pts and 7 rebounds.

True Absolutely, agree.... I don't think anyone thinks that. There are so many variables in play to make a snap judgement on a single game performance. For instance, two years ago, NDSU lost by 18 to UND and then went on to shock the world by knocking Oklahoma out of the Big Dance.

I think all of you are talking past each other and actually agree more than you disagree. UND wants to win and will compete as hard as they can to win tonight, but they if lose, this one game does not a season make or break. That is the thought that I am interpreting from Hoops. Just trying to keep perspective instead of arguing on the extreme margins. But, hey, this is a message board and any other way would be no fun, right?

I see one of their workhorse running backs who's played in all 10 games so far almost came to UND this past fall. DJ Peluso (7.3 avg per carry, 1 TD and 29 long) had UND on his short list with Poly coming out of JUCO.

Anyone know if Kyle Ruhe finally hung it up after two injury plagued seasons? I see they updated the roster (nice new look) and Ruhe is not listed anymore. He had a lot of of promise.

Kenny Golladay. Palendech. Big Snacks Edwards. Though they left for different reasons, as in coaching change. Golladay is probably the more comparable example.

Taking in some UND VB before the FB game! I'll be there to help cheer soon!

Western Illinois playing Bucky tough on Big 10 Network.

Morris was picked fourth in the UMAC (Div. III) out of 9 teams.

Trae Riek Starla -- Napoleon Dynamite

It would also give a little more breathing room for Volleyball to be better attended. NOw if you want to see both you have to leave VB early or arrive at FB late. Would have liked to give Hart, Clarke and Giebrecht a better Senior Day send off than what I expect will happen on Saturday.

Excited to announce that I am verbally committing to the University of North Dakota Roughriders today! Thanks to all who supported me in this important decision. #trulyblessed. Always wanted to do that!

Oh. Ok....thought you had more.

Please, do tell. <getting comfortable and grabbing the popcorn>

Drops the mic! https://www.google.com/search?q=drops+mic&prmd=isvn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAWoVChMIs6zwzY2LyQIViNgeCh2PeQkb#imgrc=vlA4sADssE03QM%3A

Doing some roster scanning and I see Shanks is up to 245# up from last years listed weight of 230#. Is that extra 15# significant on a 7-footer? What is a good weight for a 7-foot post so they don't get knocked around too much in lane and can dish out some punishment if need be? Edit: I think Mitch Wilmer at 6'11" was 235 in his senior year for comparison sake.

Schloss is a funny cat! Brad E. Schlossman @SchlossmanGFFor those asking my nickname pick now, I'm not fond of either name, but.... https://youtu.be/ThlhSnRk21E

Still a lot of football to be played. NAU would have to win out to reach 7 DI wins and they end the regular season at SUU. I wouldn't put it passed them to do it, though, the way they're playing.
