The problem with what he is doing is he specifically designed this logo to be a potential logo for UND. This logo came out before the official Fighting HAwks logo was released. This is America and he has the right to start a business and sell merchandise. If people are willing to buy it, good for him. (Yeah Capitalism). But I can still question his motive and criticize him for that. As I said before, UND is trying to build a new brand. You will start to see the Fighting Hawks more and more. It will start to show up on jerseys, center court/ice/field at games, on buildings, etc. Having one brand and symbol to market is the smart strategy. Especially when it is a new logo. A secondary logo is probably a good idea, I don't expect UND to add one for a long time.

On the Prairie Apparel (AKA creators of the fake Hawk logo) http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/4218775-stengls-signature-travel-celebrates-25-years "This is about North Dakota Pride." Umm....Ok Matt. Whatever you say!

UND joins the BTHC, ASU joins the NCHC. Both conferences will then be at an even 8. Problem solved!!

Goon states that UND would "immediately vilified as blowing up the NCHC." That may be true. But if St Cloud St. or Dulth were given an invite to join the BTHC, they would jump at the opportunity!! Sure it would tick off NCHC fan basses. But UND needs to do what is best for UND and its hockey program. Worrying about how other schools are gonna react shouldn't be the issue.

Goon isn't convinced http://thesportsdaily.com/goonsworld-blog/und-isnt-going-to-the-big-ten/

Run the ball, stop the run. If you can do that you will be successful at every level. UND is good at both and getting better. And I don't see that changing.

"UND is never gonna get an invite to join the Big Sky" "UND is never gonna get an invite to join the MVFC" Never say never!!! (or "isn't" in your case)

I'd take Penn St over any 2 seed in the bracket. Their record is good, but their SOS is very weak. Haven't really beat anyone. Bulldoh/Hawk regional final with a trip to the FF on the line in the Scheels Center would be insane!!

Because he is at NDSU. Didn't you know that every recruit,current player, coach, trainer, water boy is the absolute best in the FCS! Haven't you been beaten over the head with "facts" from Bison fans over the years about all this?!

Late to the party, but thanks for coming. The "shoved down our throats" and "why can't we just be North Dakota" argument as been discuses and beaten into the ground for months/years. All of your nickname answers can be summed up here. Hope you got some time!! http://forum.siouxsports.com/forum/2-und-nickname/

The outdoor game in Omaha was cool, but deffinitely not a fan of playing in a baseball stadium. Sight lines are awful. While I am not sure if UND wants to do another outdoor game, I think one at Soldier Field would be cool. B1G did a couple games there a few years back. Viewing is much better than a baseball setup. They could do a B1G/NCHC challenge type of event. Make it two games. IMO, ideal matchups would be something like Miami v. Notre Dame and then UND v Michigan. 1 ticket gets you into both games. Chicago is a great city and fans would definitely travel there.

How bout gray endzones?!!

Wait, attendance has increased in both football and basketball compared to last year? I thought that wasn't going to happen until we switched conferences and started playing the Dakota schools again?! Maybe winning actually was the key to increased attendance!!

Why UND Picked Orleans Arena http://undhockey.areavoices.com/?p=105140

D1 Media really does do a great job with their layouts and their stories they put in. I expect the same with this new Fighting Hawks Magazine. I remember the old Sioux Illustrated back in the day, and it was ok, but not great. This should be a whole lot better.

New Fighting Hawks Magazine to take flight in May - UNDsports.com: Official Web Site of University of North Dakota Athletics http://www.undsports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=13500&ATCLID=211475590 D1 Media is the same company that does Bison Illustrated. They do a nice job. Should be a great magazine!

2 questions... 1. Did UND put the bid in for the Sanford Center in Sioux Falls? Or was it a closer school like Omaha? 2. Does the NCAA allow a school to be a host 2 years in a row?

http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/business/3884883-alerus-center-officials-gauge-naming-rights-value-negotiations-begin According to this article from 2015, the deal was for 20 years. So it will expire in 2021. Also, I guess I didn't realize the Alerus Center changed their logo. Ironically one that features "bird wings" in the A.

We may see a secondary logo down the road, but I don't think it will be for awhile. UND is working on brand recognition. And having one and only one logo right now is the best way to increase that. I agree that UND should adopt a secondary logo. A ton of colleges out there have multiple logos for their athletic teams.

Just because you were a coach at the FBS level doesn't mean you were a good coach. Just because you were a coach at the FBS level doesn't mean you were a good coach. "The Cyclones' offense was stuck in neutral for the majority of the season. It finished in the bottom three of the Big 12 in points per game (24.8), yards per game (363), yards per play (4.82), rushing yards (143.83) and passing yards (219.17)."

Well yeah, because my opinion is right and his is wrong.

So which is it....is he a "grand slam hire" or is he about the same as Polasek? Time will tell how good he is, but his resume certainly is blowing anyone away.

The current turf was installed prior to the 2013 season. We join the MVFC in 2020. I would anticipate the Alerus waiting until then to install new turf. Still relatively new. Hopefully when they do replace it the 3rd times the charm and the Alerus decides to put in a midfield logo that IS NOT the Alerus Center logo but the Fighting Hawks logo.

Oops, I meant the second. Either way...14-0-0 from hear on out sounds pretty good to me!!
