Hawkster

Shutout gone but still very impressive. On to Sunday morn now.

You and me both

I'm more worried about the Citadel winning then these other games. I just hope they didn't get our spot.

Waiting for the action to start

38-34 Hawks. The new name will prove to be a blessing.

I think we are at a slight disadvantage with the late start, but not with the committee. Our guys are playing later than they are used to. I wish the game was an early afternoon game instead, but that said we win our first game as the Hawks.

I'm glad FH won. I would have much preferred Nodaks, but I can live with FH. Come on guys, it's over with and we need to embrace the new name. Go Hawks.

56.3 to 43.7

What the hell? I leave for a few minutes and things fall apart. Come on Hawks.

You realize that these plates will be made at "ROUGHRIDER INDUSTRIES"? That's a fancy name for the ND prison system. Do we really want to be associated with something like that? I'll be voting Fighting Hawks. Voted Nodaks the last 2 times.

I feel good about this game. We play great and win 34-17

Hint: The more people try to shove roughrider down our throats, the more I've learned to hate it. I seriously doubt anyone is going to change anyone else's mind on what to vote for.

Nice scare tactic by a mod that doesn't like the Fighting Hawks nickname. Not going to work.

This has been brought up numerous times, but: don't want to copy Red River, Roughriders isn't really a ND name, doesn't fit the women's teams, not unique in that other teams besides RR use it (I know FH isn't either so it doesn't apply to either), and most importantly, I TOTALLY DISLIKE THE NAME!!! Probably a few more I could name if I wasn't so sick of this subject.

Not what I wanted either, but it's 1000 times better than Roughriders. I'll be voting Fighting Hawks when it resumes.

Voted Nodaks, again. I can live with Fighting Hawks if it were to pass.

45-20 MSU. This just isn't going to be our game.

But NDSU's 2 QB's are (probably) going to get them into the playoffs, our 2 or 3 QB's (probably) won't. See the difference?

I'm saying we need to keep stepping it up and we can do it. Number one thing we need to do is get depth at QB

Actually, before the season even started I had been calling for 7-4 and a playoff spot. I didn't up my expectations as the season went, only bandwagon fans do that. Now I will say that I am deeply disappointed in the way this team totally tanked. Next year we not only should expect to get to the playoffs but actually win a game. We need to do more than we have been or we'll always be a second rate team.

I'm going to vote Nodaks again. It's a good name and it fits us just fine. If Nodaks had been eliminated, I would have gone with FH. I'm just not a RR kind of guy.

The whole QB situation is alarming to say the least. I'm not overly fond of any of them. Studs isn't much better than average and the other two never lived up to the hype they came in with. What has me concerned is, if Studs don't improve greatly, we deal with this same garbage next year again. Somehow we need to recruit better QB's and enough of them to have some depth. Look at NDSU, the great Wentz goes down and from what I'm hearing the new guy comes in and doesn't miss a beat. This needs to change or we will be mediocre for a long time. Studs has shown flashes of promise at times, but we need a whole lot more of this.
