southpaw

the second one was used in the early years of the new Ralph, and definitely in 2001-2002 as I have a couple game used ones myself

But it doesn't have beer dispensers at every seat and a retractable roof. If we don't get those, we might as well just go NAIA! We'd be lucky if they'd accept us with our crap facilities and athletic department. Fire Faison until we get them!

As someone who has directed productions on ESPN3, it is not as easy as adding some training and fancy equipment. People train and work for years to get to the level of a high-end production. No doubt the broadcast should be improved (it really doesn't take much) but it will not be ESPN quality.

I didn't post an initial prediction but after the win at Wyoming, I'll go with 8-3. Losses will come to NDSU, Montana and MSU.

The helmets definitely matched the green on the jerseys. If they got that green right, you'd think they'll get the green jerseys right.

And yet, this anonymous source is the only one who has mentioned anything about it. Not a single person who posts here, especially those with ties to the UND athletic department, have heard a thing.

Article about the game on WDAY calls UND the Fighting Sioux: http://www.wday.com/sports/3833237-und-stuns-wyoming-24-13-first-victory-over-fbs-opponent It was written by a secondary company but WDAY clearly just copied/pasted.

What if Kelley selected a group of people who took this job seriously and that included a variety of perspectives, professions and beliefs about the names. Then that group was put in charge of narrowing down the list of names. I personally think that would be the best way of getting names narrowed down.

These are pretty great

Let's recap Faison's accomplishments and then discuss how horrible of an AD he is: Got us into the Big Sky Conference Formed the NCHC Built the IPF Offering FCOA Hired Bubba Hired Brewster Hired Mark Pryor Gained $1,000,000 for the athletic department in TV contract with Midco, which airs every home football and non-CBS hockey game for 5 years, plus BB and Volleyball Pressured NCHC and CBSSN to remove exclusivity clause from hockey contract I'm sure I'm missing other things... fs4l, I'm sure you have an extensive list of positives he has done

What it boils down to is Coastal isn't in North Dakota and nowhere close to an FBS conference.

Und takes game 1, 25-20

you really think the no nickname crowd would have blindly accepted it and moved on had it been removed right away? We would still be hearing from them how horrible everything is.

So what magical name do you propose that meets the criteria? How does no nickname meet anything but unique? The decision to not include no nickname was made by the committee. The president just awkwardly affirmed it.

They got down pretty big at the start of the 5th set and came back. Great job ladies!

Start of the 5th set. UND won sets one and two 25-23 and 25-20. Dayton has won the last two 25-15 and 25-22.

I'm curious if UND will see any spike in fundraising due to the voting details. Keikla has been a UND fan her entire life, posts on this board but was smart enough to earn a scholarship to a D2 school for swimming because they needed to raise their team GPA. She texted this morning saying she has a certain number of days to donate to UND so she can have a vote in the process. I could see that working out really well for UND.

For me...switch North Stars and Fighting Hawks but the rest are the same. I still struggle with UND taking the motto of the state next to them.

I'm curious how many anti nicknamers will vote Sundogs just because they are throwing a fit.

This is incorrect. The MWC allows each school to set their own broadcast schedule and contracts. That's why Air Force has all of their games on the ESPN Network (except their 1st game which is on Root). Boise has a handful of games on ESPN but a majority of their conference games are on CBSSN. The one thing the conference is pushing hard is their streaming service with Campus Insiders. They just went through a big change from Volar to CI for their streaming services. While it is a downgrade (Volar went out of business) they are still pushing any non-televised events to the web. This is on Wyoming and their inability to put the game on the web. I'm surprised they don't just take their in-house video feed, mix it with radio and use that, since they have to provide video for official replay purposes.

I never said I didn't think UND could raise the money, so I don't know where you got that I thought that. You're sure speaking as if UND not having FCOA is a done deal and we're wallowing in defeat. Give it some freaking time. As you stated, you don't care what other schools do on this... then your original rant must have been a bit of bad timing as it happened to randomly coincide with an announcement from another school. Your point of not caring would have been a lot more believable if you didn't constantly compare UND to NDSU.

All great stuff for NDSU but let's give Faison some time to make sure the money is there. The reason Faison came out saying hockey will be definitely receiving FCOA is because the schools UND competes against in that sport have said they would as well. As of 24 hours ago, only one school in FCS has said they would do FCOA across the board. I get that people love to bash Faison but he's also responsible for getting us into the best hockey conference in the country, a member in nearly all sports in the big sky, building an amazing IPF, and bringing in top quality coaches after making the tough decision to let a certain number of underperforming coaches go.

We are fortunate that one of our best defensemen played forward nearly all of last year. Makes it easy to roll him out with another offensive Dman and a forward and not lose a step.

Here are essentially four pictures of the jerseys put together... as you can see, lighting plays a huge difference in how each one looks and if they match the helmets.

No it will not
