Rocky Hagar hasn’t walked the halls in 25 years, it’s a new era.
If you asked guys even back when I played, 15 years ago, I’d be willing to bet only a few would have known who Rocky Hagar was.
To be clear, from someone who has been on the inside of NDSU football, when we talk tradition and values and respecting the guys that came before you and laid the foundation, those conversations do not revolve around specific players in those eras or specific opponents.
NDSU football minimizes the individual players and elevates the team and the preparation to win.
I can’t remember a single time a coach talked about a specific former player and a specific game in NDSU lore, but we talked about the sacrifice and the tradition all the time.
If I didn’t grow up an NDSU fan, Rocky Hagar would have just been a picture on the wall in the locker room to me.
Rocky did make the rivalry fun, especially when we beat him.

I’m sure it does for the big rivalry game against the Jacks.

NDSU could hang the third in a row, make it eight of nine, ... but a loss to UND would make the season a failure. (Tip of cap to Rocky Hagar.)
You could go 11-1, and if that one is to those son of a guns north of us, your seasons not a success.—Rocky Hagar, Football America

Sioux suck ****!
On the Bison first down chant, my friends and I helped with the addition of the "Sioux Suck ****!" that comes afterwards. Hopefully you hear it a lot next week.
That should help!
Not only was it stupid being said when we weren’t playing the Bison but now 4 years as the Fighting Hawks it’s makes even less sense, but whatever makes you happy.

Lmao, I've taken the road many times. And that's not exactly what I'd call campus.
Not sure records from my childhood are going to help much. The kids playing on Saturday were between the ages of 2-6 years old the last time UND won a game in the Fargodome.
I'm sure they'll draw a lot of strength from the 2002 Fighting Sioux team.
But Bison fans love records (and championships) from the past. Well it’s campus, as it’s NDSU’s property and their “classroom”.

In my years on campus, I dont recall ever catching a whiff of manure. Maybe others with more sensitive noses caught it though. I lived in a cow town for awhile so the smell doesnt bother me.
A west wind definitely brought the smell of the dump on campus though. That was very unpleasant.
Drive on 19th Ave N between the airport and I-29 and take a big sniff....cause that has to be the reason the speed limit is 50 on that little stretch of road. It’s a nice surprise for those headed to the freeway from the dome, the airport or coming into town from the interstate.

Fargo-Moorhead isn’t any better with America Crystal Sugar and the West Fargo landfill book ending the “metro.”
Don’t forget the smell of animal sh*t on the west side of the campus from the animal research farms.

Is the Big 10 still prohibiting scheduling future FCS opponents?
No, we play Nebraska twice in the next decade.

He looks like a character from Mike Tyson’s Punch Out.

Love the Bennett hawk logo. We should have hired him to do the new logo. I don’t think the NCAA would have had any problem with it. I also have no problem with him selling HIS logo and it’s our fault if our fans end up liking his logo better than ours.
But unfortunately we are stuck with the absolute worst hawk logo in the sports world. Thanks Ed Schafer........ what a joke for what could have been...........
im tired of traveling across the country wearing the F hawks logo and people mistaking it for the Philadelphia eagles.....
Just like people mistaking our interlocking ND logo to Notre Dame.

When UND was fielding winning teams in the D2 days the crowd was there (for the most part, minus a cakewalk Winona St. playoff game). To get the crowds, the team needs to win, plain and simple. Grand Forks will always be a hockey crowd but if the hockey team continues to struggle even they will lose crowd size because that's simply the nature of Grand Forks fan support.
We can all have hockey, basketball and football talk especially with winning teams like in the 90’s, when all 3 sports were successful. Football was winning conference titles and crushing the Bison, women’s basketball was winning back to back to back national titles and the hockey team in 97 won their first national title in 10 years. The school’s athletics was at the top it was not hockey vs basketball vs football. It was UND vs the NCC and WCHA. Let the hockey talk flow, let the football talk flow. Follow the sport you want and let’s all cheer UND to victory in all sports.

Cool. YSU is amazing .............
Minus the National Championship season, Bo and YSU have been nothing special.
Yep one whole playoff season, and two losing seasons. Why did he ever get fired from Nebraska, he is so awesome.

How soon they forget what GFC was before Knights.
Seems like quiz time:
Before Knights, GFC was:
Before Huskies, Wahpeton was:
Before Firebirds: Devils Lake was:GFC Maroon and Grey (I graduated as that), Redskins before that. Knights is 25 years old.

Bo and Bubba started at their respective schools at about the same time... One coach has had a bit more success than the other...
Bubba started in 2014 after Mussman's 3-8 and 5-6 disappointing seasons, took Bubba a little bit to get things turned around compared to Bo who started in 2015 after 7-5 and 8-4 records at YSU. Bo saw immediate success with already a playoff type team waiting for him.
2018 UND 6-5 YSU 4-7
2017 UND 3-8 YSU 6-5
2016 UND 9-3 YSU 12-4
2015 UND 7-4 YSU 5-6
Overall: UND 25-20 YSU 27-22
I call it a little bit more success but not much. Take out 2016 for both teams and Bubba can say he turned a program around from the dumps to a playoff caliber team, where as Bo wouldn't have had any playoff caliber teams.

But The school went from Pride to Knights. Nice upgrade.
Not Sioux to generic Hawks.
Central was never the Pride. Pride was a voting choice like Sundogs was for UND.

Helped my son move into his dorm, and saw lots of new Fighting Hawks students and parents with all types of Hawk shirts on. I see the picture of the class of 2023 they did at Memorial Stadium had the mascot pic on their shirt, could that be an alternate Hawk logo of the near future? Maybe they will start to market that more and more?

No playoffs, no Bubba. Chaves better have a list of replacements ready cause if we play like this all year we would be lucky to win 3 or 4 games.
