Former player of interest Jacques Perra (QB) is transferring out of Minnesota. Odd man out after Seth Green changed flipped to UM from Oregon. Not sure which staff (or if both) showed interest in Perra during high school. Has 3 years of eligibility left assuming a transfer out of FBS. http://www.startribune.com/gophers-qb-perra-to-transfer-to-another-school/364528141/

Careful or you're going to get that ermine guy all upset because he didn't think to make his choice a cartoon character.

I've always associated the "University of North Dakota" as the brand. The "product" that is being put out isn't going to change, whether you are talking about hockey, football, basketball, academics, etc, it is just going to be in a different package.

So your solution is to push harder on a logo that is almost identical as a much more recognized University and almost always recognized as that by people not from the immediate area?

Who is advocating for a generic bird? That seems to be quite different than what I said which was that a unique logo is important. How many media outlets, people and schools constantly confuse UND and NDSU, both when UND was the Fighting Sioux and didn't have a nickname? On top of that, not sure I'd use anything that happens at St. Clown as a baseline for making a point.

It would be a more apt comparison if you'd actually use school's that are on UND's level, not Universities with a true, recognizable national brand. On top of that, those schools also don't have a logo that looks almost identical to a school that has a following many, many multiples larger and is much more recognizable than them. The interlocking ND hasn't been unique since Notre Dame started using it and outside of North Dakota and portions of Minnesota and maybe South Dakota, will almost always be confused with most assuming it is Notre Dame. I've been told directly by people in the athletic department it happens constantly when the teams are traveling. That is why a unique logo is important.

Imagine that, Schlossman had to immediately correct him on his post being incorrect. He literally couldn't copy the WDAZ article he cited.

Agreed. He had now played one full year of college basketball. Is he even back to full strength after being fairly sick this fall? He has the range to stretch out the defense as well.

If it would have more accurately been presented that way instead of as a copyrighted logo that UND will never use, it probably wouldn't have won.

PWO as an ILB per Tom Miller.

Nice to lock up another ND commit. Looks to have good size and speed, came back strong after getting injured his junior year.

They were eligible starting in 2008, missed the playoffs the first two seasons (2008-09), lost in the quarterfinals the third (2010) and have won 4 in a row since (2011-14).

I highly doubt it is going to be Dale Lennon and does anyone really believe he's going to come back to Grand Forks to be a position coach? If you're looking at SIU, a more likely scenario would actually be someone from Lennon's staff that Bubba would be familiar with. Maybe someone like this guy?

At their current ratio, that's only 11-12 women's scholarships. Not a bad deal when that's your compliance target.

So no one was leaving until they ended up leaving? Can't argue with that logic I guess.

Craig Haley from STATS FCS wrote it.

It appears that the upper bowl is going to be almost half empty. Not so certain the fans are treating it as a regular game.

That's pretty much how all big ticket items work across the country.

From what I saw, it didn't look like it was too bad before the NDSU game but whatever it was, it appeared to get aggravated or worsen early on but he gutted it out. I can't believe he went up and down the floor the whole game dragging one leg. Guessing he'll back sooner than later.

Hooker still in a walking boot as of yesterday. Still surprised he played against Valley City. Not sure if he'll be playing Thursday or not.

I should have been more clear that you were not following closely at that point in time, meaning all your knowledge has been second or third-hand, which is what you confirmed in your second post. I'm sure that when you were "brought up to speed" by people within NDSU, it was a completely unbiased timeline of events.

The overall point was that it took over a week to update some basketball results . The same thing happened more than once with football. While it is true that neither football or basketball are Hajdu's job directly, he does oversee media relations which includes UNDSports.com, so someone under his direction isn't doing their job, which makes it partially his problem. Is it that big of deal? Not really, but it reflects poorly and never seems to happen with hockey.

Correct but if I'm not mistaken, he quit following NDSU closely for a quite a while. Agree on the last part.

Actual facts showed how the first talking point had zero credibility, guess it is time to move on to the next one. More urban legends from deep inside the FargoLoaf. Is there some sort of "fact" sheet that gets passed around to the FargoU fans as they hop on the bandwagon so they make sure everyone is in line with their talking points? It is so predictable it isn't even funny. Never mind that most of them couldn't tell you that NDSU even had a football team before 2010 and still don't know that there is other sports on campus. Pretty sure he wasn't even following the team until 5+ years later so you know exactly where his "knowledge" on the situation comes from.

The timing? The press conference was held February 10. The basketball teams were still in season. It was one game for football and one (maybe two) for volleyball 6+ months before their seasons started. Before you start tossing around that the timing was the "real kicker", tell me how many times in the last decade NDSU has had a completed schedules before that date in those sports? Yet somehow that weak excuse is the only thing that any FargoU fans have actually come up with to "prove" that UND did "everything in their power" to torpedo NDSU's D-1 move. I don't know what RT did or didn't tell GT beforehand but his feelings got hurt and until his last day on campus he couldn't get over it even though there wasn't a single person left on UND's side he could blame it on. Upon further review, it looks like NDSU released their football schedule sometime around March 24, so it took all of 6 weeks to find that one more game.
