Slapped this on my back window yesterday! (Available at the UND bookstore).

Do you have a link? Or the transcript?

Since NDSU's OT loss to Eastern Washington in 2010, the Bison are 4-1 against the Big Sky in the past 5 years (3-1 last year alone). Only loss was at Montana in the last second of the game last year in the season opener. While I hate defending NDSU, what bugs me almost as much is ignorant comments that can be easily proven wrong with facts. Not sure if you were trying to be sarcastic or not, but you are definitely wrong in your statement.

Was a little nervous how the logo would work on a green background. But the shirt in the picture put those worries to rest. Adding the border makes it work.

UND will not go FBS. I think the budget issues have now confirmed that the possibility of that is not going to happen. Schools that are cutting sports and looking to change conferences to save money aren't looking to add millions of dollars or expenses to their athletic budget by moving up to FBS. Can we shut down this thread now?!

Faison seems to be interpreting it that way. "I think what the president is saying is that everything needs to be on the table," North Dakota athletic director Brian Faison said Friday. "That includes conference affiliation. That includes sports sponsorships. That includes the institution's decision on support."

If this is the picture you are talking about, you are seeing a reflection from the lighting. As you can see it is covering up part of the eye as well. They did not change the logo.

How's that? Only thing different is added the white border. Unless you are seeing something I am not!

The problem people have is that you put out these predictions and dates that they will happen.....and then the dates pass and nothing happens. People are not trolling. They are just holding you accountable for your "predictions." While your predictions certainly could happen, stating information with no facts or reference to back it up makes it hard to believe.

Had one up but no one was voting. It's up again now.

It has been almost 2 months since the new Fighting Hawks logo has been released. I am wondering if people reactions have evolved since the release of the logo. Now that we seen it on different applications like merchandise and on the helmet, I am curious to see if peoples feelings toward the new logo are more favorable now as compared to their initial reaction.

If we join the Summit, we would have home and home's with all 3 every year!!

However, the Summit League and the MVFC do work closely together. If UND showed some behind the scenes interest to join the Summit, would Douple and the rest of the League want them? And if they did, would he make a push to the MVFC to add them?

Should have been doing this for years. Glad both schools signed this deal.

I disagree. How many club, semi pro, legion, etc teams play under the state name? None. They all play under the city name. I don't think anyone is going to think that the North Dakota Fighting Hawks are some legion baseball team in Jamestown!!!

That was the case. Cal Poly and UC Davis got that deal, but that was when it looked like the Montanas were bolting for the FBS and the Big Sky was looking to add members, any way possible. Didn't offer that when we were looking for a conference. That being said, I wonder if given the chance, the other Big Sky Presidents would be in favor of having UND as a football affiliate only. You'd have to think that only having to fly out to Grand Forks once every other year (or less) would be something that they would be for to cut costs. Certainly for UND, Playing as a Big Sky football only memberand playing the rest of the sports in the Summit would be a huge money saver.

Like I said. Champion brand apparel is not the greatest. And the bookstore seems to carry that mostly. Bookstore merch has always been lame. Even Sioux stuff. Scheels and the Sioux Shop should have some good stuff out.

Yet both NDSU and USD were ok with doing it!!

Seems that the UND bookstore only has a licence with Champion for their apparel. Not really a huge fan of their stuff and it doesn't look great. that being said, here are a few more examples of what the bookstore has on their website.

Kennedy is the President of the flagship University in the state. I would hope that he is smarter than most of us. That is why he has the position.

So UND is going to join the Summit/MVFC? that's the only conference switch that would save UND money. More programs will be cut. Not sure how you can take anything else from this. Softball and/or swimming and diving are most likely going to be cut.

Dude, relax. just a play on words. It's not that bad. Not going to lead to a goofy bird mascot. UND didn't want a cartoonish bird logo. I doubt they are going to want a big cartoon bird mascot running around.
