Next time get the Scotch eggs or the pulled pork with the coleslaw on top. Very good.

Shafer will decide on the logo, and the New President will take office after that. That would be the best course of action IMO. This way the new President can focus on other issues and not have to oversee the most controversial issue in UND history on is first day in office.

Nickname debate is over, Kelley is gone. Not much left to complain about until the logo is released!!

FYP

Stealing current logos already being used probably isn't going to be the direction UND goes (This time) How's that...better?!!

I just hate those Chinese trolls coming on this site!!

Probably has been mentioned before, but this is the best line in this article, IMO.. "If a kid is going to Minnesota," says one NHL scout, "concerns are openly discussed in our rooms about how it might affect his development. If one of our players is heading to say, North Dakota or UMD or [Nebraska-Omaha], we are comfortable with them going to any of those places."

The WIAA did not hand down the punishment. It was the school. Let me say that again. It was the school that suspended her for using profanity in a tweet that involved the high school athletic governing body This girl has every right to be upset about the new rules they are imposing. I agree 100% that these rules are ridiculous. But I think we can agree that she could have been a little bit more mature and gone about voicing her opinions against it in a better way. That is why she was suspended. Not because she voiced her opinion against the rulings, but how she did it. In regards to her intelligence, by "isn't that smart" I meant she made a very poor choice in judgement. And now she will learn from it. Everything you do and say has consequences. Sometimes bigger than others.

Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from its consequences. You have every right under the Constitution to go into your bosses office and tell your boss to "Eat s#%t." Doesn't mean that you have the right to keep your job. In today's world of social media, anything you say can be brought back against you. If this girl really thought she could respond the way she did without reproductions, then she really isn't that smart and was taught an important lesson.

I am all for supporting rules that discourage fans (especially at high school games) to single out a player and harass them. But some of the chants they are banning are pretty ridiculous. I do think that the girl that responded via twitter deserved to be suspended. You can't make a public statement to an organization that you are associated with and abide by their rules and tell them to "Eat S#@t". Disagree with the new rules and voice your opposition. But when you day something lke that, you deserve to be punished.

It does so much for the state!! So much that I can't name all the benefits that it has given North Dakota!!

So basically if you want to play in the NHL, play in the NCHC. If you are OK with playing Tuesday night games in front of half empty arenas on the Big 10 network, play for the Big 10!!

http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/education/3922918-application-date-extended-fighting-hawks-logo-design The way this article i written, it sounds line any "designer or firm" could submit a proposal to design the logo. So for all those who keep saying that some design firm from the east coast is gonna design the new logo, you may be wrong.

I just asked for physical examples how the state of North Dakota has benefited from NDSU's success. There has to be a long list of benefits since you think my question is so ridiculous. So let's hear them? I want to hear all these benefits!!

Just asking for physical examples of how the state benefits. (Not NDSU)

Ummm...proof?

NDSU wants nothing to do with starting D1 hockey. The majority of their resources go to football and they are stretched pretty thin everywhere else. Took them years just to renovate the BSA. Zero chance they will spend the time, money, and resources to start D1 hockey. Discussion closed.

It is unfortunate that instead of supporting a name that would be good to replace it, most of the students (and many others as well) put all their effort to fighting a lost cause to try to keep the name and then putting their support in having no nickname. By the time that having no nickname was not an option, the list was already narrowed down to 5 names and there was no chance for students to get behind a name that they could really suppport. INstead they were stuck with the 5 names that were left at the time.

OK, so what is your plan for moving forward? Complain about how the new nickname sucks for the rest of your life? I was not a fan of the Fighting Hawks name. I voted for Roughriders 3 times. Was I happy that Fighting Hawks won? No. But I am not gonna bitch and moan about it. I get it. Losing the Fighting Sioux name sucked. Picking Fighting Hawks as the new name sucks as well. But welcome to the real world. You don't always get what you want. Man up and deal with it. If you want to be that jaded, bitter, old man that complains about everything because you don't like it, that's fine. But the rest of us grown ups are going to accept reality and move on. The fighting Hawks name is not going away. The sooner you accept that fact, the better off you will be.

Purpur for next UND AD? Wonder how long Faison plans to be around. I am by no means calling for his retirement. But, when the time comes to replace him, Purpur might be the perfect candidate.

Let's just remember that there was a time not too long ago where NDSU football was not that relevant and UND football was king of the state. When the Alerus Center opened, the crowds were great, the team was playing great and the tailgating was second to none. All 3 were better than what NDSU had going on. UND can sell out a 12000 seat Alerus Center and pack the tailgate lot and put a competitive team on the field that makes the playoffs and contends for National Championships. I have seen it before. We all have. Let's not forget that. This is not a pipe dream. It has been done and it is looking like it will be back to that very soon.

Sorry, but this stuff really doesn't offend me. If it offended you, then maybe you need thicker skin. No apology needed. Publicly being made a fool is good enough for me.

He applied for the job, so they must be a little bit stoked!
