I want to ask folks about using an Apple product to go through Apple TV on your television. Last year I had no problems using an IPad2, or an IPad Air2 to stream the games through my Apple TV to my television. This year I get an error message on my Apple TV as I try to stream it on my television. I have yet to watch a game through Apple TV this year at all. I can stream every other site that I have CNN, Blaze, ESPN, etc. through my IPad to the Apple TV without a problem. Only NCHC.TV has this issue that I can tell. I actually pulled up my older IPad and got the same error message. I have contacted NCHC.TV and they say they had a problem last week, but it was fixed. Just checking.

What garbage Neulion is once again. I cannot even watch it on my IPad, as it is now saying that video is not supported. Please, e-mail nchc-tv. I have done this in the past and Neulion fails to give any reasonable response. I than pass along their garbage response to Josh Fento, and something gets done. There are plenty of apologists for Neulion out there, but they have not supported NCHC-TV much at all. I air played from my IPad all last year to a big screen with good luck. That did not even work when I did get it to play a little.

Times they are a changin'. Three rounds in and Toronto has not selected any Canadian kids. Three Americans, one Russian and one Swede. I thought Mattson might be going in this area. His grading was all over the place though.

I know this thread is specific to the reaction and grading of the logo. I would like to address it in a different way. We see the numerous pages trashing the logo and some say just to move on and suck it up. My question is, if this was the logo associated with "Fighting Hawks", would it have even survived to be in the final five? I know how I graded it, and I used that criteria in doing so.

Even when the football team only had the Sioux (or no) logo in minor ways, they still had the "other" logo for UND athletics. Now there is only one logo.
The hockey team used the interlocking ND on their shoulders for many years in different variants. The football team did not use either Sioux logo in any prominent way on their jersey, nor did men's basketball team. So I would say the hockey team has been more of a "team" player than any of the other UND athletic teams. We are still the University of North Dakota, so if they want to stay with the prominent "North Dakota" on their sweaters for hockey, so be it.

Which is a shame since it is the logo of the University of North Dakota hockey team.
Why is it such a shame. Please understand some logic as the football team only used the Sioux logo in very, very minor ways over the years. As President Kelley said when he started. They play as the University of North Dakota, so if a team wants to just have North Dakota on their jerseys, it should be OK for everyone. Their decision.

The only way this works on anything is if the helmet is gray or black. Even the Black will distort the small amount of black in the logo. THis process only has grown worse. As I stated, this logo cannot work on anything green or white without some kind of border.
-
The logo is far worse than I thought it would be. How can this possibly be put on a green or white jersey? As expected the football team will embrace it and it will go on the gray helmets, which is not one of our school colors. So glad they are embracing it since in past memory they never had a Sioux logo on their helmets. Those that said this is needed for marketing should be outraged as well. The only thing this will go on is a black or gray hat. There is no way on earth the hockey team, or any of our teams should use this logo on a jersey or sweater that is green or white. Glad the hockey team already got their jerseys and we will not have to look at these on those jerseys. This is the true definition of "epic fail".

Fraternities and Sororities were hard-core righties when I was in school, but maybe that has changed. I don't think it has. And PBS is always asking for private donations because they need them; they are not 100% government funded like you implied. And I never had a professor impose his beliefs and/or opinions on me when I was in school. My professors (with few exceptions) were awesome to work with and were always open and welcoming during their office hours.
Personally, I think righties want a college experience that caters to their worldview. That is what private schools are for (Liberty Bob Jones, etc.). But remember, you have to pay for it yourself, no "sponging" off the government for loans and grants.
Please quote me correctly. I never said they were 100% funded, only funded to a great degree, in fact I mentioned the fund drives in my quote. Not sure when you went to school, but I went there in the mid-80's and it is not the same place. Did not have interaction with the frats or sororities to any degree, so I will not reference any of those changes. I also never knew that a loan was sponging, unless you never pay it back. Last I checked there was still interest on what you pay back, so the government actually makes money on that.

And what would you call what Rush Limbaugh does day after day?
I guess it depends on where you stand, doesn't it?
For what it's worth, the fraternities and sororities on campus are very right-leaning and are a powerful force on-campus and in the community. And the business and aviation schools probably lean more to the right as well. So there is some balance there.
Bottom line is that UND is a great place to get an education and I want to keep it that way.
Universities are getting more and more progressive and indoctrination is a serious issue. Your comparison of Rush is a joke since you can choose to listen to Rush, you pay for an education and you should be free to voice your thoughts and not get entwined in having to feed back a professors opinion to get a grade. The idea of a university teaching and creating free thinkers is an issue. There has been more and more research on what the value of higher education actually is compared to what it used to be. I will qualify that I am not a Rush fan and listen to him rarely. There would be progressives that would be his equal if they would get the money from advertisers. Progressives also have liberal leaning PBS that I will mention the tax payers also fund to a great degree. There are arguments on how that should have equal time due to taxpayers not having a choice in its programming other than some fund drives. It would be interesting how you see the frats and sororities being right leaning. Have not heard that to be the case, but you might be right that they may be further right than other students.

Hey everyone!
Adam from Summit Athletics here and as it appears you all already know, we’ll be one of the groups presenting to the committee next week.
A little about us - we’re a full-service design firm focused exclusively on athletics. We’ve partnered with 110+ athletic departments, teams, and television networks over the years to help them create unique materials that generate excitement and interest around their programs and student-athletes.
Obviously, this project is a unique one. Even before we started working on our presentation, we were hyper-aware of the level of interest and scrutiny around the “Fighting Hawks” name and branding.
A significant segment of our proposal is focused around ways to engage UND students, fans, and alumni groups and give them an outlet to provide feedback and share their thoughts throughout the design process. We want to do everything that we can to ensure that the logo truly represents UND and the entire region. In the end, it’s for you.
We can’t go into too much detail regarding our plan yet, but what expectations or concerns do you have before UND even begins this project? We’d love to hear what’s on your mind, so that we can hopefully address them along the way.
Thanks - and if you have any restaurant suggestions while we are in town, that would be a huge help!
I will echo a particular poster that a bird logo will be a bad idea and another form of hawk, such as a plane is the only thing that will give the least resistance from the fan base. No form of a hawk is the state bird (see meadowlark) and "hawks" are not unique to North Dakota. If you can possibly do what the nickname committee failed miserably at in "uniqueness" you may be looked at positively.

I see no need to change the name of the site. It is not affiliated with the school, so there is no issue, and it fits the historical aspect of continuation of the name. You could have a blurb below the title to state that it is about the UND Fighting Hawks.

I can't believe that someone in Kelley's position doesn't understand the premise for getting down to a two-nickname runoff? The goal is to get a name that the majority of the people support at this juncture, and that may or may not be achieved, depending on how the votes split. Fighting Hawks may very well get the 50%, but if they don't you never know how those other votes would split.
Well, if I can guess what is going to happen based on the politics that Kelley has used in this, just wait for Friday (likely afternoon, but anytime of day will let him escape). He will say there is a major outcry and he will return to the original plans. He did this with the "North Dakota" option, as I never did think he was going to add it to the list. That is unless he really wants "Fighting Hawks", and this gave him the perfect opportunity to virtually guarantee that unless there is a great increase in voters due to this debacle. I would love this to bump up the voters, which could cause his plans to backfire if he leaves it at three, but do not think the odds are with that option.

spoken like someone that would award two 1st place trophies for a soccer match where the "WINNER" only won by one goal....
You really do not get it do you. I was predicting what Kelley would say why he did this. Please take your sarcasm elsewhere. I am the probably the most against "participation" awards as you can get. My comments were about how pathetic president Kelley was in this and my prediction was correct. Please attack someone else.

spoken like someone who would award participation awards for the top six teams in a six team tournament....
My point was the lack of participation and the closeness of the 2 vs. 3 vote and I was predicting why Kelley did that. Please look at the just added justification and see that I am right in my prediction. I do not want participation, just a real majority vote to win. Please stop degrading people, especially if they are right in their prediction.

I had posted earlier regarding the likely low voter turnout and it was pathetic, at less than 25000. That is how Fighting Hawks made the top, and any of the five would not have surprised me. To change the rules midstream does not surprise me as well, although the closeness of the 2 vs. 3 makes it hard for them to not go with three, especially since Nodaks was the 3rd.

The NCHC better review Neulion as their choice to stream these games. What a joke it is tonight. Freezing up every few minutes.
