"Nodak" is not our Nickname. It ws voted on and finished 3rd. The fact that the REA and the hockey program is embracing it and making jersyes with it pretty pathetic. It's not like it is like a secondary nickname the UND atheltics has been know as for decades. It is a blatent rejection of the Fighting Hawks name. Go back 20 years and think if the football team and the Alerus Center decided that they didn';t want toassociate the team with the Sioux name. Say mthey wanted to be known as Nodaks or jsut no nickname. The overwhelming majority of the fanbase would be in an uproar. They would be making the same arguments I am making today. The point I have always made is love it, hate it, or somewhere in the mddle...Fighting Hawks is UND's nickname and the logo is what it is (for now). You can choose to reject it. That is your choice. But when fans, teams, and venues reject that as well, it only hurts the University and its effort to move on from the old name and logo.

So looking at the picured of the new Memorial Village, it shows the football field with just lines for football. Looking back on an article from 2021, there are soccer field lines on the field. I wonder if they decided against it since 2021. In my opinion, playing at Memorial Field seems like a much better place than playing in front of the REA. Unless they asked the soccfer coaches and they said they would rather play on grass.

I see your point, but that is the reason why UND spend thousands of dollard in rebranding and coming up with a new logo. When UNd got the new Brien logo in 2001, you saws that logo everywhere. Didn't take long for everyone else to figure out that the new Sioux head logo was the University of North Dakota. So the University has gone thru rebranding before. Now I get the hesitancy by the REA to plaster the new logo over where all the Sioux heads were. I am not wanting them to do that. I am all for honoring the legacy of the fighting Sioux name. But I am also for honoring the current legacy of the new name. The REA needs to get on board with the rebranding efforts of UND and do a better job promoting the new logo. Promoting the "North Dakota" script "logo" isn't helping with tha effort. Like I said, I don't expect to see the Fighting Hawks logo displayed a predominiently in the REA like the Sioux logo was. But I don't think it's too much to expect the logo to be at the very least at center ice. The overwhelming majority of college rinks have their logo at center ice. The logo has been around for 6 years now. People have gotten used to seeing it around. Even your most die hard "Sioux Forever" fan at the very least realizes that the Fighting Hawks logo is here to stay. The REA should n't be offended by displaying the official logo of UND athletics and a UND athletic event. Not asking for the world. Just a simple gesture that would show that the REA and UND are working together to promote the new logo, which is what UND has been trying to do for 6 years. The REA putting the logo at center ice would go along way in achieving that.

Been awhile since I have been to a road football game other than NDSU. This may be the most fans we have had a road football game probably since the 2003 National Championship in Florence. Always fun to be on the road. Everyone wearing green this weekend is automatically your best friend and will gladly have a beer or two with you!! Can't wait for this weekend!!

The North Dakota script is not a logo. Sorry. And the Ralph will be handed over to UND in 2030. I don’t think there’s a debate there.

Another year of no logo at center ice of the Ralph. 8 more years to go until we do.

HA!! Agreed. The "mascot logo" is fun for kids cloting, but I don't want to see it anywhere a jersey!

To quote the late Prince....Let's go crazy!!!

Northwestern ran at will against the Huskers in the second half. Hopefully UND can take the attitude of “we can run on these guys”.

Here's to a 5 OT game and a delayed flight for at least two days coming back!!

When the 2027 school year starts in 5 years, we will have had the Fighting Hawks logo longer than the Bennet Brien Sioux logo.

The mawk mascot "logo" currently out there isn';t great. Would have to be a big "tweek"

Looking forward to seeing lots of green in Lincoln next weekend. Especially Friday night!! Lets turn downtown green!!!

Go to any other UND sporting event other than hockey and you will be proven wrong. I am a fan of UND. Have been for decades. I have Fighting Hawks sweatshirts, t shirts, quarterzips, hats, etc. Same applies for thousands of UND fans. "Most" is a pretty agressive (and vague) number. There is plenty of Fighting HAwks gear around. Attend a game outside the Ralph and you will see that.

FYI, No alcohol allowed in any of the tailgate lots either. Prepare to get your Mt Dew buzz on!!

Losts of one score game predictions, which I think there will be several this season. LAst year this team lost those games. Need to win those game to make a playoff run.

Don't get me wrong, I want TOmmy to take the majority of the snaps. But we play our first 3 games and Quicy only takes 10% of the snaps, we don't have a 2 QB system. We have a QB that just goes in there to pick up the 3rd and inches. Which is what we had last year. I am hoping and thinking Danny is planning on using him a bit more. I don't want 50/50. I would be ok with 80/20 or at the most 75/25. All depends on how effective Quincey is.

You might be in luck!!!

https://www.valleynewslive.com/2022/08/18/und-quarterbacks-share-spotlight-workload-fighting-hawks/ Looks like we are a 2 quarterback team now. Curious to see how the time is split. Would like to see more of Quincy outside of 3rd and 1 and he runs a sneak. Hopefully we don't fall into the "If you have two quarterbacks, you have no quarterbacks" stigma.

Is there a link to this anouncement? Not seeing anything official

The biggest thing and I mean BIGGEST thing that needs to change playing better on the road. Yes Bubba is 47-40 at UND as a head coach. But his road record in that span is 15-30. In the 8 seasons he has been head coach, 5 of those seasons they only had 1 home win. (*Yes, I realize there was techinically only 3 road games in 2020/Spring season, but you get my point). If this team wants to achieve their goals of winning a conference title, making the playoffs, or winning a national championship; they need to not only find a way to play better on the road but win road games. It's that simple/.

Single game tickets on sale now!!

More thn Oklahoma fans?!! That would be pretty crazy if true!!

These "One more Shift" tributes are great. Only thing that would make them better would be that the player would skate in the jersey they wore at the time they were playing. Would be sweet to see old Eddie skate around with the old 87 Sioux head logo and those sweet brown goalie pads!!!

Someone may have mentioned this before, but you need to have the 3rd period be corporate sponsered to be "commercial free". Commericals and random announcements kill energy. "The third period is brought to you add free sponsered by Rydell." Have the Rydell logos on the facia board, but don't have any other adds. Just chants, viseos on the screen to pump up the crowd, and the band. Just imagine the old school atmosphere you could create!
