On paper beofre the season, Minnesota has much much more

Mods, isn't there rules against posting offensive material? Definitely grounds for a lifetime ban!!

Never fully understood the relationship. I realize the MVFC is mad up of Missouri Valley and Summit schools. But is that the only relationship? Are they inder the umbrella of the Missouri Valley or just their own football conference and the only tie they have to the Missouri Valley is by name only.

So let me get this straight. A conference is not going to let a member school play in its own conference? Sure they may be only there for a few years. But can a conference actually do that? I realize that the MVFC is a little different since it is a hybrid of MV and Summit schools. But still seems odd.

yeah. This ain't happening. sorry.

Sure is!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryland_Eastern_Shore_Hawks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_college_sports_team_nicknames

"Scorin a Goren" - Scoring a goal through the 5-hole of the goalie and the defensemen.

But we are the only one that is "fighting" So it's unique!!

The process they initially lad out was fine. Unfortunately the committee completely ignored the criteria that they laid out at the beginning. a name that represented the state of North Dakota specifically and being unique.

Nokota was the original name I submitted in that part of the process. "Charging Nokota made it through a few cuts, but was cut for the above idiotic reason mentioned above. Sad that a word that sounds like a native american name is deemed offensive to the ultra sensitive, PC crowd. Nokota met every criteria initially laid out by the nickname committee, specifically being unique and having "North Dakota" roots to it.

Grey may be not an official school color, but it is used in the logo sometimes!!

Will all that info eventually be subject to ND public records laws? On one hand it is a private firms records, but on the other hand it was for a public institution in ND.

Let me just start out that I was not a fan of Fighting Hawks as the new nickname. I voted for Roughriders. Fighting Hawks isn't horrible, but it definitely has a long ways to go before people will embrace it fully. One thing that is making it hard for the new name to take off (no pun intended) is the lack of a logo. A symbol that brings it all together. With the Fighting Sioux name, we had that symbol. No matter where you were, you recognized the Sioux logo and knew that it represented UND. Now obviously SME has a difficult task of making a generic bird logo a symbol that is unique and specifically associated with UND. Looking at their past projects, the do develop some real good logos. I, like everyone else, is on the edge of me seat in anticipation of the release of the new logo. No matter what it looks like, it is going to be met with opposition. Much like the name. But when both are paired together and UND once again has a name and logo that teams, students, fans, etc can unit under, it will help the moving forward process of the era of Fighting Hawks sports here at UND.

Schloss put out his list of sites he wants the Frozen Four at. http://undhockey.areavoices.com/?p=103256 He mentioned the Barclays Center. Yeah, not a verry good choice unless you like views like these......

I like this idea. The people that want to be there early to tailgate, will be there when the gates open, or even before. Let the people that want to be there to tailgate for several hours all be together instead of all spread out. If you have a tailgate spot and can't make it one week to tailgate, that;s fine. You still get your spot. But it will be in the back of the tailgate lot. You can come late, still have a spot, and you will be parked towards the back so you have an easier time getting out. Plus, the people that are tailgating for several hours and are diehard tailgaters can all be together close to the Alerus. Sounds like a win win win win win situation to me!!

Big Dogz breakfast special. Nothing better!! Except maybe the Roughrider Burger!!

The banner for B1G Championships is down in the ladies room!!

I remember being at the Hyslop at a womens basketball game against St. Cloud St. and yelled "Husky women" to the players!! Still can't believe we did that!! Oh to be young and stupid!!

It's unfortunate this whole native american nickname ban in the NCAA didn't happen in today's messed up times!! If the NCAA came up with their rule about native american names and imagery, UND and the state of North Dakota could just hold a vote for people who identified as Sioux or native americans and they could have decided if they approve of the name or not.

What needs to be looked at is what are the current needs that a new library would provide? Sure there is still a demand for people to check out books, but what is that demand? IT was mentioned that many people use the library for internet use. Well, you don't need to build a huge building the size of the current library downtown. If internet is the primary use for the library, then build a few internet cafe's around town. Heck, you could find 4 or 5 open places that already exist for a fraction of the cost it would be to build a new library!!

I think they will but some advertising on each side of the boards. Makes sense. Got to pay for them somehow!! These video boards are something that has been missing and fans have been asking to have for years!! Instant replays at UND basketball games. Just let that idea sink in!! Great time for UND basketball and volleyball!!

Both video boards are up!!

I could watch the Cags goal that made it 4-1 about a 1000 times and not get sick of it. That is the moment when we ALL knew that we were going to Raise 8!!
