    It'll look fine. Just win with whatever damn thing is on the helmet. At least the colors will/should match ...
  2. UND-FB-FAN
    In that sense, yes: both ND and hawk logo on helmet moving forward.
  3. UND-FB-FAN
    No, they won't per Bubba.
  4. UND-FB-FAN
    Best part of the whole deal. His passion is unquestionable. UND football will embrace the logo, and with wins, people will grow fonder of it.
  5. UND-FB-FAN
    My thoughts as well.
  6. UND-FB-FAN
    Bubba disclosed at the release that the new logo will be on the helmets starting this season. It should add nice color to the matte grey alternate helmets. I like it for the helmets. Go UND!

    We'll find out. Definitely helps increase competition at a very thin position group, so this was a necessary move. I like it. 2015 stats at Teaxs State: 19 catches, 235 yards, 2 touchdowns He wasn't the top receiver, obviously. He may excel with more opportunities at UND. Remember Alex Tillman and even Clive Georges when healthy last season...

    There should be a mascot of a Fighting Hawk; unfortunately, too many stuck up "fans" for this to be seriously considered.
  9. UND-FB-FAN
    They seemed relatively committed while spending time here in Grand Forks. I'm going to be positive irregardless, unless it is downright horrible.
  10. UND-FB-FAN
    Good chunk of "fans" have already jumped to such conclusions. Really unfortunate because they are doing nothing but hold UND athletics back. It's time to be forward and look for some novel accomplishments. The UND Fighting Sioux never won the DI FCS championsip or played in the NCAA DI men's basketball tournament; these are all things the Fighting Hawks can do. It's time to be forward thinking. Nevertheless, these "fans" believe they are somehow standing up for all that is "right and just". Supporters support, not criticize at every opportunity. Constrictive criticism is fine, but this premature b*tching is completely different.
  11. UND-FB-FAN
    Correct. A nice tro of Luke Stanley, Clive Georges, and now Demun Mercer for 2016. Of course, don't sleep on Alex Reed or some of the younger receivers.
  12. UND-FB-FAN
    From Twitter: #Transfer Demun Mercer @Mac_Mun 4merly Texas State set to transfer to @UNDfootball Should be a nice upgrade to the receiving corps. Offense is getting more and more explosive with skill position players. Now the focus goes on the offensive line and depth development (QB).

    2016 Season

    With the announcement of UND athletics' new partnership with KFGO (great for expanding the brand and general talk), Dan Hammer talks all things UND football with Bubba; nice summer update: http://kfgo.com/podcasts/dan-hammer/962/expectations-grow-as-season-nears-for-und-football/
  14. UND-FB-FAN
    Well, from a factual standpoint, yes. Pathetic attempt at trolling.
  15. UND-FB-FAN
    Nope. Winning and in-game features will.

    NDSU's student section location doesn't seem to deter attendance from both the regulars and the students at NDSU (they do tremendous in terms of attendance). Yes, UND students do have prime seats, but they don't take *full* advantage of it. Thus, the student section needs to be reduced and/or relocated so that more season ticket holders can be seated on the west side.
  17. UND-FB-FAN
    The general public that does attend would certainly redistribute to the midfield seats on the west side, though, if given the chance over the otherwise poor seats (20 yard line to goal line seats). In theory, I agree that the students should be given a well located, good sized section; however, that is not the reality. For years now the students have shown up in less and less numbers as the season progresses and the west side seats at midfield are completely empty. It both looks horrible and is a waste of quality seating. You're right that the overall attendance won't change by redistributing seating assignments, but the utilization of quality seats will.

    Needs to be done. Alerus Center was just plain wrong to do this considering it was done in years past just fine. If Bubba has indeed had a talk with them about improving the atmosphere and they're on board with it, we should then expect the lights to be off this fall for team intro. Need to inject energy into the place for homefield advantage like back in the early 2000s.
  19. UND-FB-FAN
    Best of luck on this! It would look great and add to the tailgating atmoshphere tremendously! I know some NDSU fellas that have done this with a large bus and it really turned out nice (minus the piss yellow and, of course, their allegiance with the school to the south). I think it adds to the tailgate atmosphere and general fan perception. Seeing such things while tailgating leaves a positive impression amongst average fans.
  20. UND-FB-FAN
    Very good!! I look forward to this as will most other UND fans.
  21. UND-FB-FAN
    Then why did they always have them off during the past years? I always liked the lights dim for the National Anthem following the intro; thought it was a nice touch. Now they could shoot off the pyrotechnics during it ("bombs bursting in air") as several other sporting venues do.
  22. UND-FB-FAN
    Local prospect looking for offer: http://www.scout.com/college/north-dakota-state/story/1676208-hankey-hoping-state-offer Reveals interesting perspective that may relate to this generation of local student-athletes (consider South Dakota Gibbs committing early to NDSU) : "At the NDSU spring game and junior day, they had me in the tight end / fullback group, but they said they hadn't ruled out linebacker yet. Most of the other schools I would say are looking at me as primarily a linebacker. An NDSU offer would mean a lot as I've always been a big Bison fan and to get an offer from a team who has won the last 5 FCS national championships would be a real honor. It's hard to say what I would do if that offer came as it would be very tough to not commit right away, but I'd like to keep my options open a little bit."
  23. UND-FB-FAN
    Very unfortunate; nevertheless, it needs to now be reassessed. The lights need to come off for the intro, and the athletic department needs to spare time on the golf course this summer and actually look into improving the atmoshphere via both video and audio.
  24. UND-FB-FAN
    Point is, the student section needs to be decreased until the students show a desire to be there in large numbers. In the meantime, rather than having people sit at the goal line on the east side and/or stand above the endzones, they should be populating the west side mid-field seats. This absolutely needs to be done; otherwise, both the noise and general aesthetics are very poor. No reason the 50 yard line seats on the west side should be empty; limit the student section in total seats and/or position (30 yard line rather than 50 yard line). On the other hand, UND and the Alerus Center do have to do more with the team introduction (lights off, better video and hype building audio) and in-game entertainment in order to make all fans, including students, flock to the games (and stay there throughout). Reference the REA and/or the Fargodome.
  25. UND-FB-FAN
    NDSU pressured him and he took the bait. Good for NDSU if you're into the whole "win by any means necessary" thing. Accepting a PWO this early makes no sense otherwise.
