You accuse Kat of conjecture and then you do the exact same thing two sentences later. The no-nickname crowd certainly does a good job of screaming like small children. We'll see if they get their way...

Perhaps if UND becomes the North Stars, then it will confuse some non-UND/NDSU fans and there will be a ridiculous turnout of hockey fans looking for some old-time Minnesota North Stars games.

I don't think anyone really knows but it could be tonight. I personally think they should get down to 2 names tonight and get it to a vote in mid August.

Unless the game is at 8 pm, I won't be able to make it. Really hoping for a late start but that's unlikely since it's not a TV game.

If 90% of the readers need to google a word to know what it means, the writer isn't doing a very good job of reaching the masses with their point.

A loss is a loss no doubt, but that Missouri State game is a prime example of UND's offense being so inept that the opposing team eventually wears down a defense with minimal depth. In the first half, UND's defense gave up one touchdown to MSU. That TD drive was for 8 plays and 79 yards. The other seven drives went for a total of 26 plays and 92 yards, an average of 3.5 yards per play. UND's defense was dominating for the first 35 minutes of the game. Unfortunately, during that same 35 minutes of the game, UND's horrible offense had 4 three and outs. This was not a game where they were run off the field early and often. UND had no offense and the defense was exhausted. With limited depth, they didn't stand a chance in the 2nd half.

I'm pretty upset Frontier isn't flying into Fargo anymore. No more $180 roundtrip flights from Denver to Fargo. I have to either pony up $400 or fly into Bismarck or the Cities.

Yes that thread was drifting a lot but I liked having a single place for the trolls to congregate. It kept other threads fairly clean and on topic.

I can't believe Red River hasn't had to cancel multiple sporting events due to other schools bombarding them with those colorful references.

Coverage starts at 5, game is at 7 est.

Und produced the volleyball and basketball games and gave the feed to FSN. They could do that with football too once the contract is up with Midco.

Perhaps once the Midco contract is up. I believe they're starting year 4 of 5.

I don't know about the basketball side of things. Hit up Jayson Hadju on the twitter machine or via email and see if he knows any new details. I'd imagine they'll put a handful of basketball and volleyball games on FSN.

Here's some minor adjustments: I made sure to include a green sundog background to help appease some folks and the interlocking ND logo for those who just want to stay North Dakota.

Setup will be the same for the 2015-16 season. CBSSN will be doing about the same number of games. Once they fill out their college basketball schedule, they'll start working on hockey. There's the chance they do some first half games this year. On FCS, people should start getting in touch with Midco right now. They kept most games off FCS last year because they were still building out in Fargo and didn't want to give Cableone subscribers the games via FCS. Hopefully, they have a big enough subscriber base in Fargo and hear enough complaints from fans in the next couple of months that they put games back on FCS again. For NCHC.tv, Denver will be back in the fold for their home games that aren't carried by Altitude or Root. UMD and SCSU will continue to have a fair number of games carried by FSN-North. Conference football games can't be on FCS as Root has an exclusivity agreement with the Big Sky. It's the exact same issue as with the first year of the NCHC/CBSSN deal.

ASU to the Big 10 as an affiliate. BGSU and Notre Dame to the NCHC. With NBCSN cutting down their productions, ND won't have the tv deal that kept them out of the NCHC the 1st time around. BGSU makes it an all-mac conference and helps with stability.

I didn't really want to take the time to change up the font for the E Pluribus Unium. I took the eagle and banners from the Roughrider flag but the stars and random yellow thing at the top from the ND flag

Bison fans often compare fargo to Minneapolis!

I'll put something together tomorrow with the correct color and some text changes for you guys and gals

Feel free to pony up the money for brand new turf. I believe the new alerus turf is $3 million. Until then, I'm fine with UND using a free turf.

So you weren't getting anything after those first couple years, I bet!
