They haven't been removing it from game notes (its used multiple times in the Game Notes for the US U-18 game). Per Schlossman, they are using it the same amount during the game, however they have adjusted when it is used. Saturday night it was said multiple times with little if any reaction at all. Not sure why the other fans should "step it up". The coaches, staff and teams of the other major sports (FB, MBB, WBB, VB) have all embraced the new name and have no issue using it when speaking or on social media. An interim President is not going to make any major decisions nor take any sort of stance on the nickname.

Pump up the university? Are they discussing NDSU's recent downgrade in research rankings or something different?

Not really a surprise considering they were again chanting about UND after their win on Saturday. Yet there is still multiple players on the team who have charged with theft. Curious what he did to get kicked off, weird there was no follow-up by the Fargo media on that one...

The only good thing I have to say is that at least the under hit.

Wash, rinse, repeat. Happens a couple times a year.

No live action for 3+ months to get his timing and rhythm back and to shake off the rust.

Just throwing it out there but guessing this is a short-term gig until something comes along in a few years. Maybe give him a year or two to recharge a little bit at level where there isn't as much stress.

I believe the posting is technically still open, so others can still apply.

Yep, but I was addressing your original point that no one outside of those fan bases cared. More people take the time to tune in to those games than the FCS championship game. Doesn't make it better or worse, it is just a fact.

Wonder if anyone will ask him about it at the booster luncheon tomorrow.

No different than the FCS playoffs except the bowl games typically draw way more viewers. 2.4 million for Georgia Southern in the GoDaddy Bowl and 1.9 million for App State in the Camellia Bowl.

Not the greatest decision by Geno to take that shot off the dribble. Led to a 5-3 and a wide open 3 pointer for Weber. Huge if it goes in but it didn't.

Has anyone mentioned Bolomboy is kind of good?

Agree, just not sure where that would be if he wants to stay in the area and stay at the D-1 level. He's the same age as Studsrud but has 1 more year of playing time left. No clue if he's on the radar at all, just mentioning it because UND previously had interest of some level.

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.
