    One must drink excessively to watch and tolerate the “sport” of ice and a puck (aka hockey). 

    Hooray for alcohol in the REA!

    I don’t need alcohol to watch hockey. I love to watch hockey from GF Central, UND, Fargo Force, to the Winnipeg Jets. One can be a fan of more than one sport, and yes it’s too bad that football can’t have more stuff like equipment and locker rooms, but that’s no reason to bash our hockey team or the sport itself.

    You guys forget that RT chose to drop all scheduled meetings with NDSU in all sports in an attempt to hurt our transition to DI.  In the end we had a very successful transition, I won't bore you with all the big wins.  Your transition was less than successful by anyone's standard and you are still paying for your actions today.  So yes UND did screw up but hey believe whatever you want.  

     

    We killed the series with the Jacks, but once we moved up we started playing again right away. USD killed the series with the Jacks but once they moved up they started playing right away. USD killed the Bison series but somehow Gene Taylor forgave the Coyotes, but still held a grudge against us. So it’s not 100% our fault.

    Just when you thought GF area had a nice "homegrown" industry. Burgum and Fargo once again say "Not so fast Grand Forks!"

    Burgum doesn’t care about GF. He only cares about downtown Fargo and all the tax breaks he can rack up from the mayor.

    Perhaps, but we'll never know will we? On the other hand, there's no doubt about who ended the rivalry game in the first place.

     

    NDSU by gaining more scholarships and hurting UND’s playoff chances?

    At this point you are correct. Why should we play at a smaller school for less money when you dont have to? Back then it was a totally different scenario. We were on the road alot during the transition.  Remember we were willing to keep the series going. You werent. Nothing you can say changes that.

    In the beginning you were willing to keep the series going, but were stubborn to even play us in football later on unlike SDSU who let things in the past stay In the past and do a home and home in 2010 and 2012. You guys had ties cut with USD at the same time we did, and yet you played them sooner in football than us.

    They could, but it really doesn't look good since the N and the D are backwards.

    Take off the ND and leave the Hawk. Or better yet, just leave the logo facing one way like they did with the interlocking ND. It only worked for many decades.

    NDSUs transition may not have been as successful since our 05-07 teams would have spoiled your seasons.

    A loss to DII UND and Gene Taylor would have canceled the series.

    Or you could have kept playing us and this never would have been an issue. Remember we didnt call the series off.

    2005 FCS NDSU at DII UND?

    2007 FCS NDSU at DII UND?

    2009 FCS NDSU at DI transfer UND?

    yeah that would’ve happen. To this date you guys don’t like to give up a home game to play a non FBS team.

    If this team struggles against SDSU at home, there are major unresolved issues.  NDSU swept them today.

    This team is doing a great job against tough competition for a very young team.

    If they think the logo on mid court will help their program, I would wonder how.  If they think the logo mid court would look better, I agree.  I also could care less one way or another because my focus would be on developing a successful winning program which can be done regardless of the logo or name.  That is why programs over the years have won or lost regardless of the name or logo.  The Betty needs a new scoreboard more than a log center court.

    In the April 25 email, Kennedy includes quotes from men's basketball coach Brian Jones, women's basketball coach Travis Brewster, volleyball coach Mark Pryor, UND Licensing Coordinator Breanna Linert and others in support of a Fighting Hawks logo at center court.

    "I am in favor of our new logo being on the floor in the Betty simply for the fact that it is our logo," Jones was quoted as saying. "To keep it really simple, it is who we are now. We need to turn the page and be a united front and all look the same."

    Pryor added: "There is not one player on our roster anymore who has played for UND when we had no nickname, much less when we were the Fighting Sioux. Two NCAA tournaments later, we are absolutely the Fighting Hawks; we are damn proud of that, and it's time to move on."
