Turning the lights out for pre-game intro is an absolute must, period. It might require having to adjust the timing or whatever but leaving the lights on flat out kills what the intro is trying to accomplish. I liked having them slowly starting to come on during the National Anthem in the past, added a little bit of unintended aura to to it.

Vote on your final 5 nickname choices (just ND is out)
jdub27 replied to jimdahl's topic in UND Nickname
At least your honest about wanting to cling onto the Fighting Sioux name but it takes a little bit more than a few "adjustments". That exact logo has already successfully defended its copyright against a team that made a few adjustments (see below). While not positive, I do believe that there was some sort of agreement between UND and Chicago for use of the Blackhawks logo. -
You'd think that this would be the one guy who would be all in on Fighting Hawks. He should have just saved his money on the trademark filings and bought new letterhead.
-
I really have no clue what the best part of this is. So much to choose from, in no particular order: Continued complete lack of understanding of trademark law on top of admitting he's doing it for the sole purpose trying to (unsuccessfully) impede UND's processUse of old stationary that is 25 years old (though manually updated to clarify that he is the former mayor, not the current one)Picture of bison that is apparently struggling with somethingSigned as N.D.S.U.

They should have saved everyone some time and titled the article "Local Man Continues to Show Lack of Understanding of Trademark Laws"

Excellent article by Tom Miller on Will Ratelle: http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-football/3851873-und-football-green-lightning-has-become-one-unds-greats

This guy is quickly becoming my favorite opposing coach (up there with Kramer from Idaho State). Though, as previously stated, he does love to sandbag...
-
You have to remember that the %gobc is operating behind the 8-ball these days. Rumor has it that they are scheduled to make their actual vote sometime in early December.

I'm going to guess it was made clear Sioux Falls was going to bid with or without UND's (instead using Mankato or St. Cloud, maybe even Omaha), especially with Chris Semrau there. Due to the size difference, Sioux Falls probably has a better shot than Fargo and UND realized that.
-
Of course, but a lot more entertaining (for the fans) than the coaches who won't say a thing or speak only in clichés.
-
Portland State should remove Barnum's interim tag just to keep him around for his quotes:
-
Guessing that is partially because it looks like they used some of the original banners instead of creating new, uniform ones with that had the different logos.
-
Not really worth starting a new thread on yet, but UND will again host the Western Regional at Scheel's Arena in 2017 (next season).
-
Close. UND is currently showing as a 1 point favorite vs. Idaho State (along with a 14 point favorite vs. UNC).
-
The Watch Big Sky app is being redesigned, guessing because of the change of providers. Not sure of a new release date but I thought I read somewhere they were will hoping for this fall.
-
Hope these two guys get paid!

Progress on the world class track: Picture looks to be taken from the southwest corner looking north.

Not a huge fan of it myself, just wanted to clear up that it is already owned by someone else and will not be UND's logo. -

The Blackhawks don't own it. An independent graphic designer/photographer from Canada created it as a concept for fun, owns it and as previously stated has defended outside use of it many times. http://icethetics.squarespace.com/blog/2010/7/12/a-history-of-logo-larceny.html -
No clue but there was previous speculation he wasn't playing at 100%. I think him completely falling off the depth chart instead of falling to #2 probably confirms that.
-
Alex Kroke would be the contact in the Athletic Department with any tailgating suggestions. They've been responsive to e-mails sent in the past, probably wouldn't hurt to pass along ideas/comments/concerns. They want tailgating to be as big of an event as the fans do.

The rights/trademark are already owned by someone else. It won't be the logo. -

Understanding what "free speech" means and how it is or isn't applicable in this situation would probably be helpful as well. At least he admits that "North Dakota" is not a nickname, which is what the committee(s) and the whole process was put together to come up with. -
There is? I'd love to have football move on campus but the parking situation would be terrible, especially tailgating, as it currently sits. Agree to disagree on that one.
