And the vote wasn’t even close.

I didn’t know we had a team, wasn’t it going to be cut.

Oh goodie. There is an orientation for incoming freshman next month. Road construction on University Ave will suck, but if it eliminates the potholes it will be worth it.

She has no connections here. Ralph went to UND she didn’t, she went to UNLV.

I can see it though as someway to keep part of the old name plus no one else has Fighting Hawks in DI. But I remember the hatred of the GF School Board people had when they announced the name was going to go. Larry Humble led the Redskins Forever effort. I bought Redskins gear from the school store before the change to hold onto the name before it was gone. I graduated as a Maroon and Grey as we were in the “cooling off period” (sound familiar). Knights was picked cause it was in the school song, no one cared if anyone else had the name locally (I heard Fisher has the same name). And to think that all started almost 30 years ago (1991), and yet Central is still winning titles as the Knights, and didn’t let a nickname/logo divide it’s students and be a talking point whether it’s social media, regular media, or word of mouth like UND and it’s nickname issue still is 7 years post Sioux.

The only school I see that hasn’t embraced their name change in a major way (besides UND) is Marquette. Even Illinois is trying somehow to get the Chief back. http://www.news-gazette.com/news/local/2019-02-19/pro-chief-group-plans-event-saturdays-game.html

This fall Grand Forks Central will start the school year with the nickname Knights for the 25th year. 25 years ago me, and other students voted Knights over Pride to become Central’s new nickname to start the fall of 1994. Today you don’t hear Redskins being cheered for at games, no talk of Redskins Forever on social media. So will UND be the same in 25 years from the inaugural Fighting Hawks intro in 2015? Will the division subside? Will it take less/more time to be a united campus under the Fighting Hawks name? I guess time will tell.

Maybe they will replace more than the Big Sky logos. Could we see a Hawk on the 50 or the words Fighting Hawks in the end zones?

Can you post the pics? Any info on it would be great.

But the curse of the Fighting Hawk logo.

How long before the new president gets harped on by the media (Brad) about reinstating women’s hockey? Brad won’t quit until there are 40 fans cheering the women on in the playoffs.

%gobc will do it

What if the replacement president isn’t up to her “standards”. Is she going to use the “no check” card again?

The Dance season was the greatest memory of his entire career. It’s too bad we had too many subpar seasons to overshadow that accomplishment. Good luck at Illinois St.

I like those choices.

Why is that Rick?

Would it? I put Jones in the same boat as Mussman.

FSU, CMU and Utah got Indian approval so I think their safe.

I hope you are correct.

I think the ACC will be the only P5 conference we will not face since Missouri covers the SEC.

That’s why I never understood why people hated Hak and wanted him fired every year we lost in the NCAA tournament. He at least got the team in the NCAA Tournament and fans loved being on top of the rankings going into the tournament, it sucked when we lost but we knew (didn’t we) that we would be back the following season. Look what has happened since the NCAA Championship season with as many described it as Berry’s title with Hak’s players, missing the playoffs in multiple seasons and doubt we will get back there in the near future. There is no confidence in this team that was there when Hak was there. Losing in the playoffs sucks but it’s better to be there than to be on the sidelines.

I think she would do a good job, being a UND alum is a plus.

Did Miles Brand overhear that conversation before his sh*t rule in 2005.

Thank you Coach Pryor for all you have done to this program. You took this program to new heights with conference championships and NCAA tournament appearances. Good luck to you and your family on your next quest. As for Bill Chaves, let’s get a coach as equally as good as Pryor and win the Summit.
