Where are the students?? That side looks soo empty!

Thank you!! Go Hawks!!

What Pluto channel is it going to be in on? Can’t seem to find it.

The best?? Really??

OK, I am calling BS on this. There is no way anyone would mistake these two logos for each other. Not even close.

So let me get this straight. You call the Fighting Hawks logo "the absolute worst hawk logo in the sports world" yet you buy merchandise and clothing with the logo on it and wear it "across the country." ?

The 2015 game definitely was way too close for comfort. that score was 21-18. We scored all our points in the first half then kind of fell asleep the second half which allowed them to comeback and make it a game. This can't happen again. Need to keep the pedal down if we get a lead early again. The new spread offense will be fun to watch, but only if it is successful and produces points. I think that our speed on offense is going to be too much for Drake to keep up with. I don't know why the line is so low on this game. True Freshman QB playing on the road for his first game against a pysical defense that we have....might be a long day for him. It's certainly not going to be a blowout, but I am not predicting a close game like last time. They will wear down the Drake defense and not led up. Freundball is here!!! UND 31 Drake 14

Getting back on track, I have no problem with Schloss's tweet. It is the first picture of the new scoreboard with the ice in. It's not stealing thunder. We live in a word where everything is news and everything can be tweeted. both pictures of the scoreboard and the opening football game of the season can both exist at the same time without stepping on each other and stealing thunder. If this is a front page article on the Herald, then you have some gripe. But its just a tweet.

So Brien designs a logo of a hawk , sells merchandise with that logo on it, and says "people have their choices, whatever they want to pick." How is that him not trying to compete with the University of North Dakota? What other "choices" are you talking about Ben? Did you have a sudden passion for merchandising artwork you designed that coincidentally happens to be the same mascot as the University you previously designed a logo for that you are clearly disgruntled with for not getting your "fair share" of revenue from?! What a fraud.

As a student at RRHS at the time, even we felt bad for that awful mascot. "Go maroon and grey, go go maroon and grey" was an actual cheer promoted by the GFC cheer team. Just awful!!

Because sometimes in a town the size of Grand Forks, there is more than one thing going on. Seriously don't see a problem with this.

Pretty cool addition to downtown! Artist creates hawkwing mural in downtown Grand Forks https://www.grandforksherald.com/community/4631709-Artist-creates-hawkwing-mural-in-downtown-Grand-Forks

Viewing options for this game for us out of towners. Anyone know?

As unoriginal as our name may be, I am still glad we didn’t go with an unoriginal bird logo like these two logos.

Thanks for explaining!!

New Hawk logo to compare our too. The XFL's Battlehawks. I'll leave it up to debate whether it is better or worse than ours.

Well, Nashville is the "Bachelorette Party capital of the world", so maybe these teams have a couple of engaged players and they are making it a Bachelorette Party/Hockey weekend!!

Good looking new beer from Half Brothers!!

An arena can definitely help get a crowd going and get them on their feet. At the old Ralph, all it took was playing 'Welcome to the Jungle' and the student section was jumpin!! It is long overdue for the REA to form a task force to improve gameday atmosphere, much like the Alerus did.

My one concern is the REA will primarily use the new scoreboard for advertising as opposed to in game productions and features that will keep the crowd engaged and add to the gametime atmosphere. Bigger screen = more add space to sell = more $$$$ for the REA. And the atmosphere will continue to be what it is.

It's happening!!!!!!

This appeal has about the same chances of success as the players had in NCAA tournament games!

UND really missed a great opportunity to have a great nickname and logo by eliminating "Abdominal Snowman" from its nicknames under consideration. The Minnesota Lakes Area "Snowman" of the Midwest Premier Football League (the league the Tri City Northstars play in) have provided a glimpse of what a logo would have looked like. Oh what could have been!!

He would have been the all time rushing leader at UND. Man, was he fun to watch!! Just unfortunate he couldn't get his academic life in order.
