Polls schmolls. Just win baby!!!

http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-football/4143798-hype-building-no-17-und-football-vs-weber-state-saturday Tom and the GF Herald doing their part to get some buzz about the game!

Has the PA system ever been updated since the place opened in 2001?

Cal Poly lost to FBS Nevada and #17 North Dakota. We lost to FBS Bowling Green and #22 Stoney Brook. The polls look how good the teams were you won and lost to. Head to head doesn't play as big of factor that you think it might. Either way, doesn't really matter, especially right now.

#1 versus #2!! Should be heck of a good series (as if it already wasn't going to be already). This just adds to the excitement! (also, first time since 2008 that #1 has played #2 in a regular season series).

http://undhockey.areavoices.com/?p=103762 Pretty impressive numbers on the run UND has been on the last few years. The one that really stood out was our record in non conference regular season games. Which we all know plays a huge roll in the Pairwise come playoff selection time. In the past 27 regular season non conference games, UND is 23-1-3. Pretty impressive. Just guessing, but that has to be the best in the nation. Looking at other schools records, you can see how loses in non conference games really hurt a team. The Gophers are 9-18 in their last 27 non conference games, which also includes going 1-14 against Minnesota teams during that stretch. If you play in a weak league like the B1G. non conference games are even more important. And the Gophers have proven that.

A couple points on this picture. 1. Other schools have utilized the negative space to form letters much like UND's logo. Case in point, UW-La Cross Eagles. 2. I like the feathers on the shoulder. Wondering if UND will adapt secondary marks like this that can be utilized on jerseys and helmets.

Looked back on the attendance numbers of Bubba's first year (2014) and thru 3 home games, the average attendance was 8391. If you needed mre proof that Bubba has this team headed in the right direction and creating interest in the community.

Still way to early. Way to many games left to even be talking about brackets.

Just stating the obvious. Pretty apparent that the mens hockey team is the program that is most resistant to adapting the new name and logo. Glad to see that some are beginning to embrace change. I'm really not trying be a dick about the new nickname and logo and whether enough student athletes, coaches, fans, etc are supporting it. Just my way of trying to accept it. Don't really mean to put others down for not embracing it at the speed and amount I and others are. No offense to those others out there. Sorry guys.

Hooker sporting a new Fighting Hawks shirt at the Big Sky media day. Still waiting for a member pf the hockey team (other than Berry) to be spotted with the new logo on their clothing!!

Tied at 40 now with my vote!!!

1. Head to Head 2. Common Opponents 3. Record vs. common Conference opponents played as non-conference games 4. Common non-conference opponents 5. Sagarin rating

http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/4138709-ndsu-president-calls-end-hateful-sioux-chant-bison-football-games The excuse that I hear from Bison fans all the time is the excuse referenced in this article that "its a small and vocal minority that are doing this." Sorry. Not buying it. If its a small minority, the President of the University doesn't issue a statement to all NDSU students. You just find the guilty parties and deal with them. Pretty pathetic that they are still doing this. Of course their comeback could be "as long as you keep referring yourself as the Sioux, we will stop chanting Sioux suck".

Now we are on to something!!!

Replace the goal horn with the Hawk screech!!!

Its really unfortunate that the mens hockey team isn't embracing the name name and logo like the other teams. Actually what is more disappointing is Faison not controlling the situation. You see other teams, football mainly so far, decked out in Fighting hawks gear. from their helmets to t shirts, to sweatsuits, etc. The hockey team still continues to avoid wearing or referencing the new name and logo at all costs. Still wearing the interlocking ND on all their stuff. The very least they could do would be to follow what the womens team is doing and put the logo on their helmet. But they can't even do that. It UND and the athletic department (Faison) want to get this logo out and visible, and move towards more people seeing it and accepting it, have the most high profile team at the school be using it as much as possible.

No, Gillette Stadium in game production staff is dumb. I don't think ideas on what to use on third dows over the load speakers to hype up the crowd comes up in team meetings!

Leading Big Sky coach of the year candidate. If we win(share) the Big Sky Championship, there is no debate that he should win it. #LeaveNoDoubt

Goal horn at a football game? Dumb. Keep the screeching hawk. Heck, that screecking hawk sounder could be the cue for everyone to get loud. Not just on 3rd downs.

Can we get a live Hawk to fly around the stadium before the kickoff? (I am serious about this idea. Would be pretty sweet). Auburn fans seemed to get pretty jacked up about it!!

UNI will be out of the polls this week. Will be interesting to see where NDSU falls to. Doubt they will fall below Eastern Washington. 2 or 3 most likely.
