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.

Did't want to start a new thread for this. Not FCS, but technically a non UND football topic. http://www.startribune.com/sources-target-field-to-host-st-johns-vs-st-thomas-football-in-2017/397095471/ NDSU was the talk of getting this game. I think its smart to have two local teams play. Attendance is going to be bpretty high, considering that the Tommie-Johnie games always draw a big crowd.

I like it! Why not have it at a venue and a city that would be the most attractive to Big Sky fans. Viva Las Vegas!!! (Taking the pipe dream to the extreme here!!)

Bubba has the solution!!

Having divisions in FBS makes sense if you are having a conference championship game. Can't do that in FCS, so not sure why you would do that.

Sorry, you are right. That is going to be what happens. You will have to sign home and home with other FCS schools for OOC games. Trying to get 6 home games every year should be the goal.

I am guessing that every other year you get 4 home conference games. So in an 11 game schedule you would have 2 OOC games. A strategy I would use would be to always have at least 6 home games. On the years where you have 5 home conference games, schedule an FBS game and a home OOC game. On the years where you have only 4 home conference games, schedule 2 OOC home games. Some years you aren't going to get an FBS game, so scheduling a road or another home OOC FCS game should not be that hard. Either way, still leaves you plenty of opportunity to schedule the other 3 Dakota schools.

Hearing that the Big Sky Conference is officially going to a 9 game conference schedule starting in 2020. Nothing official from the Big Sky, but that is what I am seeing today.

Statement game. This is the game that people finally take notice of this team. Locally and nationally. A win puts us at 5-2 overall and and 4-0 in the Big Sky. The 100th Homecoming and the place should be packed. Newest biggest game of the year. If the crowd shows up and stays engaged for the whole game, our boys will feed off it. Especially our defense. UND - 31 SUU - 20

One thing I hope most of us can agree on is that at least UND didn't go with a goofy cartoon looking bird logo. Honestly, which would you rather have, our logo or Southern Utah's?

Looks like that 3 year cooling off period did a lot of good!!

Really sucks that Bowling Green's only win is against us. And Sagarin has them ranked below us at 143.

Western Illinois-North Dakota winner at No. 1 seed North Dakota State So play the team that was selected instead of us last year and then have a chance to knock out the 5 time defending FCS Champion who happens to be our biggest rival? I like it!!

Anyone have a photo of the updated version of this wall?

If "his voice is very shrill", then he is exactly like Sweeney!

You're probably right. At least I really hope you are!
