Just something I noticed in regards to apparel the hockey team/coaches wear. All of it is "North Dakota Hockey" and no "Fighting Hawks Hockey" or the logo with "hockey" under it. Also never hear hockey coached/players/etc refer to themselves as Fighting Hawks or identify the program with the Fighting Hawks. Should it bug me? No. but it does. And I am probably not alone.

I am not referring to the rejection of the logo by the fans or the hockey program. I am bringing up the point as to why the Administration has made the conscious decision to not mandate the use of the Fighting Hawks logo with the hockey program. Who is making that call? Chaves? Kennedy? Is Berry pushing back? Again, my point is why we are using basically 2 logos for our athletic programs. One for hockey, another for everything else. If you you are sick of this discussion dragging on, think of why that is.

My point is why is the Athletic Department not mandating that all programs use the Fighting Hawks predominately. Everything with the hockey program uses the North Dakota script logo and not the Hawks logo. I get it. The majority of UND hockey fans don't like the logo, but why is the Athletic Department letting them decide how to use it? Why let the mob rule in regards to logo implementation? Like I said before, the University has spent thousands of dollars in re branding. UNd has a new name and logo and what to market it. Why not promote it with our biggest and most popular program by mandating the use of the logo by the program? Seems like the hockey team gets a pass for not having to use the logo for reasons that seem very pety like they don't want to offend fans that haven't moved on yet primarily in the hockey fanbase.

One thing that I think is odd is that our athletic department has decided to use one logo for one athletic team and one logo for everyone else. Yes, we all get it. There are many fans of the hockey program that will never embrace the new Fighting Hawks logo. but why does the University and the Athletic Department have to cave to those people just to not make them upset? I am not trying to dig up the "we must all support the new logo" argument". That's not what I am getting at. I am talking about the University and Athletic Department (which has spent a lot of money on re branding the new logo) to allow a sort of "brand confusion" by allowing the hockey team to promarily use the "North Dakota" script as their primary logo while the rest of athletic programs are using the Hawks logo.

Hawaii basketball plays at the 10,000+ seat Stan Sheriff Center in Honolulu. Not sure if it has ever had an ice rink in it.

If they get the new Arena that the Coyotes want, A game against ASU would be very successful.

Doing a little research, I found the last UND head football coach that wasn't a former player or assistant coach was Marvin Helling (1957-1967).

Bubba needs to realize that if he doesn't get rid of Kostich and Rudy at the end of the year. If he doesn't realize that, he is not the man we need in charge of this program.

For years I have been disappointed by the lack of plays for the Tight End. I don't think a TE has had over 5 receptions since Jim Kleinsasser!! We have size and strength at the position yet Rudy fails to use them.

I don't know bout you guys, but I think Buffalo, Detroit, Pittsburgh, and Boston would be great places for "destination" games in the next few years!!

That second down pass play when we had the ball and. I WR’s to pass to was inexcusable.

How many times are these refs gonna mid obvious holding calls!!

Been an ugly game. Need a couple first downs here. Come on boys!!

Do we have any pass plays under 20 yards?!!

2 guys come untouched to block the kick. How do you snap the ball looking at that formation? Call a damn timeout and figure it out!! They need to leave Kostich in Idaho!!

Can’t decide which is worse. The refs of the announcers!!

Pass rush today has been great!!

This color guy really is awful. Needs to fresh up on the rules of football!!

0% Chance Leach is our kicker next year. Ugh!! Gonna cost us a game one day. Hopefully that day isn’t today.

Stick to the run!!!

I think getting UND getting 100% of the profit will help alleviate the headache!!

Actually, given the friction between Kennedy and KEM, I would bet that the REA gets turned over before 2030 given that the relationship is so toxic. KEM may want to just be done with UND and the REA all together!!

I guess we will see how new Aviation buildings, The new Med School, Gorecki, and the HPC do over the next decade.
