Your first sentence is exactly what I think about the best way to approach this. That said, the image above is very cool though I'm not sure about if it's best as a logo due to the level of detail.

IMO why that open records law needs to be amended for the good of the state.

I don't understand. I didn't see the Tower of Barad-dur in the MN graphic.

People are eventually going to just get bored with it. The nickname selection is starting to become old news. The emotions of the moment are fading, as will much of the energy behind the booing of the new nickname, UNLESS there is ever a sign that it might actually result in some sort of reconsideration. Since that's likely not going to happen, the booing will eventually fade away.

That was the thought I had as well

Oh, great call Shawn-O. This is EXACTLY what we cannot end up with. Minor league all the way. ugh.

I think we should quite debating the details and enjoy the article for the delicious piece of lemon meringue pie that it was.

Must have really good insulation

I get this is someone else's logo but this is an example of the sort of thing, I think, that will work very well. I like it.

77iceman, I really like your logo ideas. I think I agree with the others regarding which they like best but they both work. This kind of thing meets my logo criteria very well, and it's pleasing to the eye. Good work! I do think I like the greater curve involved in the logos on the helmets on the left, than the more gentle curve of those on the right.

I agree with this. I can't believe the State of ND doesn't amend this law or rule for the purposes of ensuring that state institutions receive the best field of qualified candidates possible. This is such a no-brainer in the business world (how often do people inform their employer that they are looking to leave before they actually do?) It just doesn't make sense to do things this way.

Thanks for this!

I agree. I kind of like the wings image. I'm guessing that's borrowed from somewhere? (I don't get around much)

No, they are booing a nickname, not the team. that's pretty clear

Agreed. And for the Harry Potter fans you can almost make F'awks work (for non-fans, Dumbledore's phoenix was named "Fawkes") or, do we go with

That's crazy talk, right there. Because I have always hated that font. Looks amateurish. I prefer something more classic.

Exactly, a guy with great color/character. Of course you hated him if it was a UND/MN game, but I think those kinds of characters just add to the fabric of the whole experience. He was a MN goon, but he'd have been our hard nosed player.

Agree that I can't see it happening, but love the idea

I'm certainly no expert but the few times I've watched old hockey games that's certainly my impression. Goalies were more stand-up, trying to kick out shots with their leg pads, etc.

We picked up a Sony Cybershot RX100 this summer and really like it. It's a micro 4/3rds but not much bigger than a pocket digital. Very good reviews, and our experience has been very good as well.

Anybody got any early scuttlebutt on how Lucia will propose rule changes so he won't lose to Michigan anymore?

oy, I don't need to see that at a game, that's for sure. yikes

Holy smokes that makes you even worse! I will say I could see this either way, but had the same question creep into my head.

sounds like Tuch isn't having a year like he had last year, but had a knee injury this summer. I have no idea how that may (or may not be) affecting his play but it's plausible that recovery has kept him from being the player he was, and may factor in to why he wasn't chosen for this near-term tourney. Just paper scouting here, and offering one possible explanation
