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.

I know this is a dumb question...
Does Kris McGarry have any real connection to UND? Other than Ralph and Betty, why does she even consider making donations to UND? Did she ever attend UND? Is it just a legacy thing?
again, I understand this is a dumb question, but I just wonder why so much emphasis is put on her/Englestad Foundation donations.
She has no connections here. Ralph went to UND she didn’t, she went to UNLV.

I think the nickname committee made a huge mistake letting any of the nickname finalists have Fighting in the name
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.

Eventually, I think so. Just look at how many schools have changed nicknames that seem to be " thought what they were always called"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_college_nickname_changes_in_the_United_States
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.

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.

They're replacing 6 year old turf? I haven't seen that in any capital budgets for UND or the Alerus Center.
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?

Probably old news but saw a pic of the new alerus center turf going in this summer. Looks good
Can you post the pics? Any info on it would be great.

Logos and names don’t win games. Never have, never will.
But the curse of the Fighting Hawk logo.

Kennedy did a lot of good for the University. The next president will be rewarded. I know some profs cried over losing positions. I expense needed to be trim. Same with W/H. And other. If could have been a smoocher like Glass he would have been a hero. He did his job and moved on. Next president gets the credit.
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.

UND should see a substantial check in the mail from KEM any day now!!
What if the replacement president isn’t up to her “standards”. Is she going to use the “no check” card again?

Wish Jones the best. Did leave some good memories.
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.

Okay, let's not pull a Kennedy and bash him in social media.
Losing Jones would be tough on our program. He is a great recruiter and the players relate to him. He took UND to the next level and deserves to take the step to the next level. We would miss him but would also wish him well.
Would it? I put Jones in the same boat as Mussman.

Okay, how long before they go after ND, FSU, Central Michigan and Utah State?
I am sure that someone is triggered by those monikers, even though they were given approval.
FSU, CMU and Utah got Indian approval so I think their safe.

Here is the schedule thru 2026. Games against the the Dakota schools for 2023-2026 are not official, but the MVFC has protected those opponents so I just continued the home and away pattern for games against NDSU, USD, and SDSU to show where we play them those years.
2019 2020 2021 2022 vs Drake vs Valparaiso @Idaho St @ Nebraska @NDSU @ Kansas St. @ Utah St OPEN vs San Houston St. @Youngstown St. OPEN @ Northern Arizona @Eastern Washington vs South Dakota St. vs North Dakota St. @ Southern Illinois vs UC Davis vs Missouri St. @ South Dakota vs Missouri St @Idaho St. @Western Illinois @ Southern Illinois @ Youngstown St @Cal Poly @ Portland St. vs Western Illinois vs Northern Iowa vs Montana St vs South Dakota @ Missouri St. vs South Dakota St @Weber St. @ Illinois St. vs Youngstown St. @ Indiana St. vs N. Colorado @North Dakota St. vs Illinois St. vs South Dakota vs Southern Utah vs Southern Illinois @ South Dakota St. @ North Dakota St 2023 2024 2025 2026 vs Northern Arizona @ Iowa St @ Missouri @ Nebraska @ Washington vs Montana vs Portland St. @ North Dakota St vs North Dakota St. vs Idaho St @ Montana vs South Dakota St @ South Dakota St. @ North Dakota St. vs North Dakota St. vs South Dakota @ South Dakota vs South Dakota St. @ South Dakota St. vs South Dakota @ South Dakota I think the ACC will be the only P5 conference we will not face since Missouri covers the SEC.

I don’t know about you, but I’d prefer to enjoy watching a 30-6-3 season and an NCAA first round loss vs watching an 18-17-2 season where the team doesn’t even make it out of the first round of its conference tournament.
But, I suppose there are those among us who would rather be the Florida Panthers than the Stanley Cup Finals loser, right?
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.

Ralph threw it out there. It didn't go anywhere; and, in went the logos.
But Engelstad did throw the idea out there.
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.
