Double-check recent reports.

For what it’s worth, I thought the SDSU tailgating scene in Brookings this year for UND game was very mediocre. Just my opinion. They have a very very good team though.

$. Start a fund. We’d get these funded in no time.

No question, UND was the more physical team. If UND can replicate that week in and week out, watch out; but it won’t be easy. Power of belief goes a long way. Dale Lennon speaking to team on Friday night before the game just topped everything off perfectly.

Looks pretty legit to me, stripes would be reversed, but it’s a very solid look.

This was put in place for FBS schools before this season, but it was just recently clarified now to also apply to the FCS playoffs.

Because there’s more people it’s better? That’s an unfair take. I think UND tailgate does a solid job and obviously the UND/NDSU tailgate this past Saturday was superb because of the hype around the game. Need to keep growing it, and if UND keeps putting together big wins, it will. I agree UND athletic department and Alerus needs to do their part and keep enhancing the details; more vendors, more portable restrooms. Bud light station was neat. But it all comes down to hype around the team as it trickles down to the tailgate.

The University of North Dakota is required by its 2007 settlement agreement with the NCAA to protect certain University trademarks. All manufacturers for the Dacotah Legacy Collection will be selected through Licensing Resource Group (LRG), UND's licensing partner. Licensees with specific experience designing “throwback” or “legacy” collection items will be given consideration by LRG. source: https://fightinghawks.com/news/2013/8/20/209221876.aspx

Dacotah Legacy Collection

Spot on. Simple is best. Have pants that match the helmet. Bubba’s presser today confirmed need permission to use interlocking ND logo, so that likely won’t continue, but the silver helmet with silver pants featuring matching green and white stripes and then Kelly green home jerseys and white road jerseys would be an awesome start.

Think packers/raiders - simple is better. keep the silver helmets, they are awesome, and signify the und beatdown the first time they were worn i would vote for clean throwback green (home) and clean white (road) jerseys with silver pants that have corresponding white/green striping to helmet. Would be spot on, in my opinion.

Bingo. Some major coaching is needed this week to keep the boys mentally engaged.

Tough game, but offensive line play travels. Have to pound the rock and play with same intensity and mental fortitude as previous game! Go Hawks!

UND “golden boys”! Offensive line play travels - keep poundin’ the rock, Danny!

The intangibles of football are such a beautiful thing.

Agreed, this will be tough. So much of this is mental preparation and fortitude. Maybe have Dale Lennon speak to the team again? All I can say is if the same team we saw on Saturday shows up mentally the same way in Cedar Falls, IA, then UND will be in good shape. But, we all know UND football has been different (in not a good way) outside of the Alerus Center.

Well, we are now at this point. Move forward, ride the momentum. Go 1-0 each week. Beat UNI. Go Hawks!

It’s a must. We’ll get it to happen.

Sun is shining, vibrant fall colors, even the coffee tastes better. We did it. The evil Empire is finally dead. Kudos to Bubba and staff and players; run with the momentum, and build this thing up. Win next week. We rightfully again own the state of North Dakota. Been 15+ years. Capture those recruiting battles with this new positioning and let’s win a damn championship.

Pure happiness. Absolute joy. -so happy for Bubba, his staff, former players and coaches, fans, Grand Forks, UND community, etc. etc. - keep feeding the ball to Ziebarth. Dude can run. Offensive line can play. -keep the silver helmets full time. Get throw back uniforms (green/white jerseys, silver pants) to go with them Again, pure joy. Happy for Bubba, happy Dale Lennon and Roger Thomas were present to see it. Just awesome. - now hype/crank this motherf*cker up and go beat UNI next weekend

Yeah, there is beer and food available, but best to bring your own supply. This is one game where the amount of tailgaters will likely out supply the vendors.

I don’t agree. South Dakota State is not Alabama or Georgia. How many NFL players you think SDSU has? You’re exaggerating SDSU’s ability a bit in order to justify UND’s road woes. Coaching is not just strategy in terms of play calling; it’s adjustments in tough moments and preparing the players (physically AND mentally) to execute at the highest level by conditioning them to be at their best when their best is required.

What makes a player/ recruit good? What makes a player / recruit bad? A lot goes in to this, including how the players develop after you get their commitment. Guys like Nick Saban recruit damn good players but they also develop the hell out of them. UND could recruit AND develop their players better, and that falls on coaching. Talk about execution, what do you think gets the good teams to consistently execute and the bad teams to not? ok, ok, I digress.

I don’t agree. Lots of angles to this incredibly hypothetical scenario, but I won’t derail this thread by going into all of it (again).
