    Tailgating is a blast.

    I'm in agreement with this in general. UND has taken more chances on FBS transfers and JUCOs due to the shortage in talent Bubba inherited. I expect the numbers will decline in the future.
  3. Siouxperman8
    Do you know the details on transfer rules? I am not certain but I don't think you need to sit a year when transferring and play volleyball.
  4. Siouxperman8
    Agree - we need to move on. Neither of these will change in the short term. I am sick of the whole thing.
  5. Siouxperman8
    agreed.

    Your last line - that is what I am asking for. Not as a main logo but it looks like it will be retired completely. We did that successfully with the Blackhawk logo, the geometric logo, the Brien loga.....and everything previous to that. I always took a lot of pride in the interlocking ND, especially when I was a player at UND even though it wasn't our primary logo. I would like to keep some continuity with our history. I guess we can disagree on that. I really don't buy the confusion with Notre Dame argument. That was part of my original point.

    I'm not sure if this was a reply to my post but if so my stance wasn't very clear. I think the new logo is pretty unimaginative but accept it and think there will be other versions eventually. I don't think the new logo and the interlocking ND are mutually exclusive. We used the interlocking ND in the past in conjunction with all of the different logos we have had.

    Most people in our region (Dakotas and Minnesota) think of North Dakota when they see the interlocking ND. About 90% of the stuff I see with that logo in the Twin Cities is UND related. Probably different if you go to Alabama but who cares. We are a regional school. We have a great history of using it and I would hate to see it retired.
  10. Siouxperman8
    Agree but 25% is too low an estimate.

    My feelings also. Know who you are and who you represent.

    I think (guess) if you could really get into Bubba's mind you would find out that he isn't fired up about the name change either. He does understand what it means to be part of a larger organization (team) and how to support that team in public.

    The point is - realize that you are part of a larger organization and understand that whether you are an employee or another part of the organization. As a student-athlete you are part of a larger org and should be expected to keep your feelings out of the public eye if you don't support the larger org. That is called being an adult and a good teammate or member of the larger team. You learn that pretty quickly in business or you don't do well in any org. You can debate like hell behind the scenes but stick together for those outside the group. When i was playing football at UND I was interviewed by the Star Tribune for an article and the sportswriter wanted me to state how well my first school approached football compared to UND. I was extremely careful to not say anything that could be construed as negative about UND. He ended up cutting my quotes from the article because they didn't support his premise.

    Bubba is doing what he thinks is right in trying to move the university and fans forward. We had the interlocking ND on our helmets for a long time.
  16. Siouxperman8
    I almost wish I had more eligibility left and could play for Bubba. Might be tough at 54 years old but he is a great leader.
  17. Siouxperman8
    this is painful to watch the pre-game before the unveiling
  18. Siouxperman8
    This is from the press release: Hockey and football broadcasts can be heard on KFGO AM 790 while men’s and women’s basketball broadcasts, and the weekly Coaches Shows will air on AM 740 The Fan (KVOX AM). The daily program, UND Sports Today, will air on both stations.

    Too advanced.

    I always loved this one.

    My wife and I are taking that exact route from Twin Cities. Spending the Wed-Sunday in NYC and taking Long Island Rail Road to Stony Brook. It looks like about 1:45-2:00 hours on the train from Penn Station to Stony Brook. I think there is shuttle bus or something to campus. Decided to stay in Stony Brook Thursday night since train after the game leaves around 11:30 pm and gets back to Penn Station around 1:45 am. Not brave enough to wander around NYC at 2:00 am walking back to hotel. The next train after 11:30 isn't until 4:30 am or so. I emailed the Champions club to see what events were planned before the game. They forwarded my message on to the football coaches to see where the team was staying. Bubba himself emailed me back with the info and thanked me for coming to the game. Class act. We are really looking forward to the game.

    I saw Gordon play a couple of times in HS and really liked the way he plays. He should be very successful at UND.

    Has anybody seen season ticket renewals yet?

    For a little guilty pleasure I read the in-game discussion from the Championship game on GPL last night. It was fun to see them go from pulling for Qinnipeac to being resigned to the fact that we would win and just hating on UND.
