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!!

What kind of TROLLING motor do you use when you fish? If all of the "UND to FBS" talk is all nonsense, then why even spend a second giving it any attention. If one of the goals of SiouxVolley was to bait all the Bison trolls, you have all definitely fell for it hook, line, and sinker!! (Pun intended)!!

BREAKING!!!!!! Nick Schmaltz in returning......for seconds at the Panda Buffet. That General Tso's chicken must have been the deciding factor!!

Try to have a conversation with a Bison fan about mens basketball and see if you can go the entire time without them mentioning RPI. Go ahead I dare ya!! It can't be done!!!

Goofers will still go 0-2 that weekend!!

Make UND Hockey Great Again!!

Not to split hairs.....but you do realize what the S in FBS stand for right? Alright. I'm done with the derailing of this thread. Hope the team gets to go to the White House. Would be pretty sweet!!

I think the NCHC is willing to take the risk of UND being at the Frozen Faceoff the majority of the time. Heck, even if we didn't make it, there would still probably be a couple thousand UND fans there!!

Calling FCS JV is a rip on UND football. That is why I am taking offense to it. It's not the highest level of football in the NCAA, but it is the highest level that UND competes in. In the grand scheme of things in regards to national recognition, FCS Championships are equal to NCAA Hockey National Championships. To get back on topic, I doubt either NDSU or UND will be visiting the White House due both being irrelevant in the minds of the majority of people in the country compared to other sports in the NCAA. I will take your advice and have a beer. Hell of a good idea!!

No, it's ignorant for 2 reasons: 1. You are taking a jab at FCS football not being the top tier level in the NCAA. So while he might have had the intention of taking a shot at NDSU, he is actually ripping FCS football as a whole. The current level that UND plays at as well. So you may as well say that UND is JV in all of its sports other than hockey because they compete in the FCS and play in a mid major conference. 2. Ripping on NDSU after it has won 5 consecutive Football National Championships is pretty pathetic. I am not a Bison apologist, but I think that we can all agree that what they have accomplished in the last 5 years is pretty impressive. I get it that they are our rival and it's always fun making fun of those guys, but when you do so in this case, it just makes you look foolish.

Such an ignorant comment. Hey buddy, UND plays FCS football too. Seriously, statements like these really show the narrow minded, idiotic nature of some of those in the "hockey only" fan base. I get it. You only like UND hockey and don't care for the other sports. But don't rip on FCS football and call it JV. Come on man!!

Just do it after Obummer is outta there.

What a great way for people to accept the new (official) logo....make an unofficial alternate one that people may like more!!

Well there you go!! Get the NCHC back at the X!!
