  1. Scheel is a stud goalie. Wow! He's a fearless one in net. World Junior team left him off the roster? Okay.... Better play all round for UND. Defense was super solid in their own end. Shaw had that one brain fart on the goal. Oh, well. Senden, you should have one more goal tonight. lol. Can't believe he didn't shoot early to lock up that empty net. Hopefully, he moves on from that quick and forgets about it. It was a quick skate, battle. Hit the post on the shot. Oops. Jordan Kaw. Talent is there. Still needs to work on finishing in college. He should be scoring more. It'll come. Nice win without JJ, CA, DB and JT (out). Not sure if JT would have cracked the line up for game 1 of the series anyways. Fun to see the SIOUX win and beat Denver!
  2. And in the world of sports, one needs positivity. Let's take Brad's stat to inspire the team moving forward... A small morale victory. It is somewhat impressive! Still #UNDproud They can't get any worse or have more injuries. Knock on wood!
  3. Need to move and rotate on the PP and create space and 2 on 1s. PP is too telegraphed and stationary. Please watch Capitals or Leafs PP. Watch. Rewatch. Learn. Rewatch. Implement. That is all.
  4. As in what coaching role? You think Berry is just going to give up the throne?
  5. @geaux_sioux Keep dreaming in your reality distortion world. Ha!
  6. Surely you can do better. Seems like a fixed mindset. I challenge you to have a growth mindset. Current status on many things in life, can always get/be better.
  7. Not funny at all. Those “3” logos were all tremendous. The Geometric logo did not face the current bashing of The Fighting Hawks logo. A good analogy, you’re comparing an amazing pro or college logo to a dumpster fire elementary school logo. Best way I can describe today. Ha!! With that said, I don’t understand your witty remarks.
  8. Pro teams periodically update their logo. Why can’t the current Fighting Hawks logo get an upgrade 2-3 years from now? Dumb idea? God forbid, we spend another $50K on a “new” design. $50K for the current logo. $2K for the BB Sioux logo. 2018, gawd, what a time to be alive!
  9. I’m always loved that response. Don’t be a naive keyboard warrior. Let’s call a spade a spade. Don’t drink the green kool-aid. *Also, given the state of decay currently at the University and if by “source” donations are down, as an institution, are you going to public reveal that factual information from a PR standpoint? Idk....
  10. Look, I don’t mind the Fighting Hawks name. I’m fine with it. I would like to see a “new” Fighting Hawk logo in a few years. That’s all. Look at the business side of things. That’s what truly counts. Merchandise sales are down. UND alumnus donations are down. Football team had a brutal year. Home hockey games continue to see a reduction of fans (I know that’s not logo related). I’m just looking forward to UND to redeem what has been lost in this circus act phase of a transition. Bottom line, we’re talking $$$. But what do I know?
  11. IDk, to give the majority a true logo we can stand behind. And rectify the minority bonehead logo decision that looks “cheap”
  12. Pretty petty or pretty genius? He did the University a tremendous act of kindness by taking $2K for the Sioux logo ONLY at the time years back. He put the “ALL” sport programs that honor the logo ahead of his artist talent and money. That was highway robbery back then! Let him do what he wants. And have UND do the “right thing.”l My 2 cents obviously if anyone cares. Just saying.
  13. Thanks for your work/photoshop skills. Greatly appreciated! 1. Can you remove the “triangle” shape below the eye? It looks like a tear. I have edited this logo without it and it looks much better. It reminds me of all the lunatic rappers these days with face tattoos spewing out garbage regarding prescritpion drugs etc. Rap music in 2018 these days! Good grief! 2Pac is rolling over in his grave... *Final comment, my own opionion, what would this logo look like with a more roudned beak? I’m super curious. If you have some free time over this holiday week, would love to see those edits.
  14. What?! It’s November. There’s a lot of parity in college hockey these days in 2018. UND plays in the NCHC conference, the toughest conference in college hockey. A typical weekend NCHC split for a series is usually good enough. A sweep is an added bonus. Don’t forget, the last 3 NCAA champions were all NCHC teams. *AND last years NCAA Champion, Duluth “barely” made it into the NCAA tournament.
  15. Relax. Wow. WM scored a goal off a skate to beat UND. UNDs biggest competition is themselves. They couldn’t score. UND had some great scoring chances. Just didn’t bury the biscuit. Kudos to the WM goalie too. Moving forward. Learn from the experience, win tomorrow night. Better to lose and play well (despite not scoring) now than come March/April Offense will come. Too much talent on the UND squad. Be patient. Not worried, yet... L
  16. Scheel not playing? Thome better be a wall tonight based off the weeks practice or what gives?
  17. I'm in the market for a "Large" Green Reebok Sioux logo jersey. Open to offers.
  18. I have done some quick modifications to BB's logo. Think this looks better. Got rid of the "tear" look.
  19. Final thoughts on the newBB Hawks logo making its way on social media: 1. Agreed the font he used needs to be modified regarding “North Dakota” and even “Hawks” (he can do better) good attempt, though. I appreciate his artwork very much! 2. The subtle Sioux head in the feathers is pure genius!!! Honors the past tradition of UND (who obviously was once the Fighting Sioux) and transitions or even transforms into the new logo/nickname The Fighting Hawks. It gives a reason for the Sioux logo die hards to embrace the new logo and change. End result, finally, now the majority nickname/logo supporters will be no longer divided. Hey, UND Business school, maybe I’ll now donate future cash to the school as a donation. When’s the Gamble Hall renovation going to happen? I’ve always loved that one...... ;-) 3. I will never own or buy any current Fighting Hawks apparel. Why? Because the minority controlled the outcome during this whole process and it is not what the majority of UND fans, supporters, alumni, you name it, WANTED. I would have supported just “North Dakota” or being the “Fighting Hawks” had they done an aviation (plane) logo (no one ever brought that up, and obviously never came to fruition). In addition, current Fighting Hawks logo looks like the US Postal Service logo meets Dove (soap) logo. It's super “cheap” looking on (black) hats, shirts, zip ups etc. *See Bubba (UNDs head football coach) apparel on interviews or game days etc. With that said, it is a unique design, I’ll give the marketing firm some credit there... However, overall, it’s a dumpster fire. Final comment, before people claim I’m the typical “Sioux” die hard logo fan. I still have purchased “UND” apparel, or “North Dakota”’ merchandise over the last 8 years or so... I have bought a hat, some t-shirts etc. (I prefer the Dacotah legacy stuff, though) Bottom line/final thoughts: “Current” logo is very average at best ... One will say, “Open your mind” (have an open mind) In response, I say, "I do", “open your eyes, it’s garbage!" * This coming from a UND marketing alumnus that has a keen eye for design and attention to detail (probably have some spelling/grammar errors in this post, I’m aware) So let’s hear the response, complaining/bitching feedback. I’m “open” to it. :-)
  20. Happy with the weekend result. Split on the road against a decent Miami team. - Positives - Kawaguchi nets his first 2 goals of the year. Confidence now boosted. He needs to continue to score. Monkey is now off his back. All the skill is there moving forward. - Lack of scoring? Jones and Hain were out and the team still played a solid college hockey game. This team will do just fine. - Penski looking good and has confidence. Depth at D is gonna be huge for this squad this year. - J. Weatherby is getting close. Once he gets his first goal and some more confidence, that’ll add to UNDs offense moving forward too. - Final comment: 8 games in this year, (it’s early still) however, these 8 games have been more enjoyable to watch than the first 8 games last year. Relax Sioux fans, if this team continues trending/ getting better, they’ll make the NCAA tournament. Make the tournament, anything can happen.
