I'd take that bet any day. But reading your posts with your keen spin on marketing you probably think you could sell ISIS flags in Israel too. For the UND rebranding to be successful it will still ultimately come down to what those who support UND in anyway shape or form feel about the new logo. Not what some 16 year old thug in Baltimore thinks is cool. The "ND" is recognizable past, current and future with anyone associated with UND. That will not be said for some lame goofy Sundog, Pride or Spirit logo that is just around the corner. What kind of logo would you suggest for Nodaks, Big Green or Force? You really think any logo you could come up with for those 3 nicknames would out sell just the "ND"?

Now my Droid is covered with coffee! Why do I get the idea that the counsel of the LGTB has you on speed dial though?

Just got up and game just ended. Perfect timing. Go Hawks!

With the summer months around the corner and people heading to the lakes in swimsuits and Speedos, I expect B*g C*cks to make a push (no pun intended) into the final round of names.

This "good news" is like me going to get my yearly physical and my Doc tells me "Well you still have 2 nuts...see you in a year".

Berry bringing back the "Sioux" sweaters for his inagural season as HC? More Dippin' Dot flavors at the Ralph? Jordan coming back? Hak coming back? BF leaving? Kelley leaving? Tell me...tell me!

Maybe Hak was presented your scenario above and saw the NC bonus clause and figured..............

Big picture.........it has to be tough to be a coach in other sports at UND when you are at the bottom of the pay scale in your conference only to find out BF was in a bidding war for Hak's services. Now with that can we rekindle the "Fire Jones" thread???

Ummmmmmmmm........no. You got me there.

No one is arguing with what you heard but for BF to go to the $600K package range to try to outbid the Flyers when MBB and FB coaches salaries are near the bottom of the BS conference doesn't look too good.

My thoughts exactly. If it is true BF has some explaining to do.

Agree........when you put side by side with "Chicken Nuggets" as potential nicknames.

These thoughts crossed my mind as well.

Hak and Eades with a shout out just now during game.

Lowell and I are buddies at the Alerus on Saturdays in the fall. Am I a gobc member by proxy?

I almost every situation like that there is an increase in dollars and/or power...and sometime that/those are too good to pass up.

You missed my point: The Flyers came at Hak twice...No and no. Third time...yes. Why yes on try #3?

So what sways someone the 3rd time around other than $$$ and/or power? Answer: Nothing He could not have won a NC at UND and still could have stayed until HE decided he was ready to go. He could be gone in Philly after 2 years.................

This...^^^ Hak seemed to have a "system" of dump and chase and that rarely seemed to deviate even with the high end talent he was able to bring over the years. Not all his teams were the same talent wise but they played the same "system". You can't argue with Hak's results though...minus his F4 record.

Stable = No Nattys. gfhockey doesn't want that!!

Took 45+ days for BF to sort thru things and hire Bubba but 45 minutes to pull the trigger on Berry. Yup........makes perfect sense.

45+ days to hire Bubba...........45 minutes to decide on Berry. Only at UND.........only w BF.

Makes the most sense without question...........not saying it is the best hire possible though.

Berry is the easy hire for continuity and smooth transition. Eades...Sandy then Berry are my choices.
