Hawkster

You can pretend all you want that this doesn't imitate native head dress, but we all know those feathers are arranged that way for a reason. The NCAA is going to take a very close look at whatever we adopt and if we keep pulling stunts like this we not make the playoffs with an 11-0 record. This is the main reason Kelley is having a hired firm do the drawing and then we can finally move on.

The bottom feathers look WAY too much like the headdress feathers on a Sioux war bonnet. No way this passes muster.

The bigger question is, would UND be willing to pay a decent salary for someone who can turn this around? The idea that we can bring in a successful D2 coach and expect miracles is probably asking too much. Salary is going to need to be upped by 50% to attract the right guy. And I agree that Jones will probably be here in March, which is too bad.

I always thought Rog Thomas was a great coach but so so as an AD. Didn't want to move up to D1, burned our bridges when it came to playing NDSU at the time. Probably a few other things I've forgotten about.

I can't imagine Bartles leaving, but wouldn't be surprised if Mollberg decides to take a powder, considering he didn't play a down this year. I really think his day has passed and he probably knows it.

Yea, once again we get screwed and the mighty Bison get seeded. Why does this always happen to us??? 7-4 should be in

I hope not, but I sure wish Cit hadn't won, that one has my stomach in knots.

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

Friday Cags, Sat, Pogs.

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.
