Bemidji games are carried on Lakeland Public Television. It shows the game will be televised and Grand Forks has always gotten the Bemidji games through one of the PBS channels, assuming that hasn't changed. Edit - Will be on 597

Those are composite rankings of something like 22 different rating scales (some of which are pretty far out there, UND's ranking varies from 8 to 76). Massey rating itself actually has UND at 39. Portland state dropped 14 spots to 26. Squeaking by Drake (ranked 101) and Davis (81) are currently not helping UND in the computer rankings. The computer doesn't care that the games weren't as close as the score might have indicated, they only care about the final score. Can't remember exactly how games from another division are handled but Wyoming being 127 out of 128 probably doesn't prop UND up as much as it should.

Fargo fans mock, pity UND fans for having "Sundogs" as a finalist
jdub27 replied to johndahl's topic in UND Nickname
You were right in your original assessment, however he came to the conclusion that he had to actually pick something on the ballot, albeit begrudgingly. -
I stand by it and could care less.

1 play, 76 yards 4 plays, 8 yards 2 plays, 1 yard Those are Portland State's scoring drives. Defense did a pretty damn good job outside the first play of the game (where a running team comes out 5 wide). Fun game to watch, UND controlled the majority of the game but wasn't able to put it away until the very end. Incredibly encouraging to see the offense string together some plays to run out the clock for the second week in a row. Lots of room for improvement and mistakes to clean up but absolutely no one would have predicted 4-1 at this point. Injuries are obviously a concern right now as depth seems to be the one thing this team doesn't have a lot of at this point.

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)

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.
