I wonder if they are going with the current trend of letting schools incorporate their own colors into the logo. Might be the case here!

The Alurus got a mulligan on the turf and they still shanked it in the woods. I will give them some credit for the black end zones and the better big sky logos. I am not going to lose sleep over the midfield logo, but definitely unfortunate.

Moving the Alerus Center logos to where they have them on that fiels would make a helk of lot more sense. Stupid to have the Alurus logo right at midfield. I really hope that the powers that be at the Alerus Center heard enough grumblings from fans that they will use this mulligan and do the field right (with the ND logo in the middle)

Tons of UND fans are now Bison fans??? Good to see he backs it up with evidence!! I highly doubt that.

Within the last two weeks, UND has signed contracts to play Utah and Washington, and NDSU has signed to play Ferris State!! You really can't make this up!!

D2 schools are now FCS counters?? Since when? It certainly must have changes recently.

It's a home and home with NDSU. Hey....I just looked out my window and saw a pig flying!!

You are quick to say that people need to not jump to conclusions and wait for the facts to come out before passing judgement. Well that goes both ways. You can't assume it was self defense, or assume that it was just one punch. Don't get mad at people for coming up with their own conclusions about what happened when you are doing the same thing. The facts will come out soon and we will all know.

Or this one.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUjUz_QEh48

NDSU has handed out its punishment for Travis Beck and he will be suspended for all games in June and July for the 2013 season!

So does this mean that The Alerus Center along with UND can fix their mistake and put the interlocking ND at midfield?!!

NDSU is clearly the better team right now. They have been for at least 10 years. No one is debating that. This debate is not about who has a better team right now. NDSU will win that argument every time. The question is whether they should schedule a game against each other. Now you can go back and forth about who benefits from the game more. But the question is should they resume the series. It all comes down to this. NDSU has more to lose in this game than UND. In NDSU presidents/AD's/fans/players/coaches/etc. , they believe that they are the far superior team. I don't blame them. They are the two time defending champion and have beaten several FBS team over the years. They are hot!! If they played the game, 9 times out of 10, NDSU would win. But what if the next time is that one time that UND wins? Imagine how that would affect the president/AD/Fans/players/coaches/etc at NDSU? Not saying it would take away all they have accomplished the last decade, but it would be a monumental blow to the program. Gene Taylor does not want this to happen. He is not scheduling the game because doesn't think that NDSU can beat UND. He is not scheduling the game because there is that chance that UND could beat NDSU. And that is the last thing that they want. If they schedule the game, there is a chance UND wins. If they don't schedule the game, there is a zero percent chance they lose. And Taylor would have the 0% chance they lose than even a 1%.

Looks like it's gonna be an "All Connecticut" Championship game on Saturday!! Crazy that the Championship game will be played by two schools 10 miles apart!!!

The NCHC is going to be great. Sure we are ring to miss the likes of Minnesota and Wisconsin. But we will have new teams and some old ones as well. Remember how we all felt when the old NCC broke up with No. Colorado leaving and then NDSU and SDSU? It sucked. This rivalries were gone. Eventually there was the invite to the Big Sky. There was a lot to look forward to. Looking at back at just one season in the big Sky for especially basketball and football, you can see that it is gone be a great conference with some great rivalries. The WCHA will be missed, but I am looking forward to new rivalries and new traditions in the NCHC.

Pretty pathetic. Hey Saul, it's the National INVITATIONAL Tournament. You weren't invited...get over it!

Since we are the topic of announcers....This may be the best announcer in sports!!! Florida Panthers radio announcer!! these are some of his goal calls!!

We will have 2 on the list when our new IPF gets built!!

The one thing that bugs me ALL THE TIME is when Hammer says "Kobber" every time he makes a comment. Yes Dan, we know who you are talking to. He is the only other person doing the broadcast. Just gets annoying. I guess one way to make it tolerable is to make a drinking game where every time Hammer says "Kobber" you take a drink!!

Gonna be a tough matchup considering they beat us by 25 earlier this year!!

If we get a CIT bid, Faison better be bidding to get a home game. The way these guys played, they are itching to get another chance to get on the court this year. Might as well be at home!!!

Great effort by our boys. They lost a close one to a very talented team. Tough for our seniors to go out that way, but hopefully they still have a couple more games in a UND uniform. These games only give our returning players experience and confidence going into next season and into another Big Sky Tournament. It was fun to watch these last two games with everyone healthy. With the guys coming back and the addition of Traylor and Nash, this team is going to be very good next year. We have been waiting for 4 years for this team to make a run at an NCAA Tournament berth, and next year I think we will have the team to do it. I am excited for next season, but I hope that we can get a CIT tournament game at the Betty to watch these guys play again this year. How bout a CIT Tournament run?!!! I'm game!

Just like no one is going to buy the new "North Dakota" jerseys with no logo on them. If you are a fan of the University, you are going to cheer for the nickname that they have. Not because you are forgetting the past and the Fighting Sioux name, but because you support the school and its players. Future players will be known as the University of North Dakota _________, not the Fighting Sioux. It is still OK to wear your Fighting Sioux apparel for as long as you want. No one is stopping you. But as a supporter of this University and its athletics teams, I will cheer them on by whatever neame they choose to be known as.

I would assume that they would move our game to the night game on Thursday for attendance reasons.

Anyone else having trouble getting into viewing the game?

Probably stirring the whole nickname pot again...but since the subject is being brought up again.....What does everyone think about choosing the name "Nodaks"? Ther is history there. I do remember seeing the basketball team with "Nodaks" on the jersey. Plus UND would not have to adapt an animal or image to replace Fighting Sioux that is obviously going to pale in comparison. The "mascot" for UND would then be the people of North Dakota. Not some dumb animal or something. (Side note...They may be trying it out with the "Nodak Nation" student group to see how people resond to the name. just a thought).
