Just ask people in Grand Forks if Knights have caught on at Central, or Devils Lake or Wahpeton. It will take time but eventually it will grow on people, and you will start to see Fighting Hawks gear more and more at the Alerus and the Betty and eventually the Ralph when a logo is picked and if they have new Fighting Hawk hockey jerseys. "Come fly with the Hawks" is a good catch phrase and I hope it stays.

Don't forget Bison fans don't recognize basketball during football season.

Attendance was 1,349.

I like it, anything that says University of North Dakot on it is good, now add a nickname and it got better. A new logo will make it complete.

I think if Bennett Brien designs a great logo like he did the Fighting Sioux marketing will take off. How much marketing could be done with just North Dakota, and the interlocking ND logo, not much but they did their best, now you have an actual nickname and soon an actual logo, let the gear and $$$$ start flowing again.

Does the FCoA that UND is going to offer for football start this upcoming season?

Welcome to the first class of the new Fighting Hawks.

From the Big Sky to finishing undefeated twice in the last 9 years (2006, 2009) only to be snubbed a chance at a NC because of being a WAC team, they are a very successful FCS-FBS team.

What made them successful in the FBS compared to 2 NC in the FCS?

Maybe he means the Denver Broncos.

I think geography is NDSU's (or UND's) downfall in moving up. There is not a g5 conference around here that would take us. Mountain West is the closest or the MAC but that isn't going to happen, so its the SB for conference affiliation. Could any fan of NDSU or UND name all the schools in the SB without looking it up? It changes almost every year, they are the Great West of the FBS. And NDSU would be more relevant in the FCS than the FBS. What SB teams have been to bowl games in the last 5 years? Oh wait you need to know who is in the SB to guess. What has APP St done since winning FCS titles and beating Michigan? How about Marshall? NDSU's road schedule would be like UND's is in the Big Sky and we know Bison fans hate long distance travel. Would the fanbase approve of never seeing another NC banner in the Fargodome which would be the 4th smallest in the FBS (Charlotte, Idaho, UMASS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NCAA_Division_I_FBS_football_stadiums )? I wonder who NDSU's travel partner would be? Its simple....until there is a g5 playoff, another tier added to the FBS, or an FBS conference closer to home that would accept Dakota teams, just stay put.

I think if a spot opens UND should take it, and with our upward swing in football it would only strengthen the conference. With Kelley leaving and the nickname issue dead, Douple wouldn't have a problem accepting us, but only if we can get the same deal as USD. No MVFC no deal.

What's the highest attendance in the Betty?

Nice win in the first ever Bison-Fighting Hawks game. Keep it up!

U embarrass yourself with your posts that make us all seem you are NOT a fan of UND. Wrong about Jones for years? What has Jones done since the time this thread was created? Nothing, and hopefully BF is smart enough to can his worthless butt at the end of the year (or hopefully sooner).

why don't you troll yourself away from here, everyone knows you are not a UND fan.

NDSU vs Richmond should be a good one if Richmond can go to ISUr and beat them.

Poor blocking.

good call, that guy was wide open if he could have kept his feet in bounds.

Still down 8 since they again ran on third and 8.

24 yards of offense in the second half, yeah run up the middle see how that goes.

If he is, get him out of the game. Just making the offense worse, but doesn't matter Bison will win and again UNI can go home with a loss.

So you run the ball for 5 yards cause the Bison know that play is coming cause your QB can't pass and you give the ball back to one of the best offensive teams in the FCS. One TD its over. I still think it was a stupid play.

you can at least go for the first down, and if you can't trust your QB you got problems.

3rd and 8 and you run it up the middle? UNI deserves to lose on stupid play calling like that.
