So when 2020 comes around and we play NDSU every year do we get a new trophy to play for or brush the dust off of the nickel? I know it's got an Indian side of it but it is a "historical" coin.
i think it's cool to have possession of the nickel trophy here in Grand Forks. However, no one really sees it much. I work on campus and I don't even recall running across it anywhere. Just my personal opinion; but I would like to see it retired and brought out to the state capitol in Bismarck and put on display there. It could include information about the series as well as all the scores. Then it could be shared with many people all across the state.

I think forum communications already owns the Herald.

We were wondering that same thing.

There are no "Fighting Hawks" chants/cheers at the football games.

I have the same problem too except mine say's it's from my carrier ATT. Fortunately it does not occur every time I visit SS.com. I'll try to make sure I don't leave my browser open. Good suggestion.

Mind if I share this on my facebook?

I remember several years ago some college friends of mine were in town for their kids graduation from UND. It was the first time they had seen the Brien logo. They had a preference for the old Blackhawks emblem. That's just what they were familiar with. They were much more disappointed in the loss of the name.

I think this could be a good rivalry. It's a long drive but it can be done in 1 day.

Would Tom Clifford get the job in today's environment?
He was way before my time, I only ask because he seems to be hands down the most popular president in UND history.
When I received my undergraduate degree Tom Clifford was still the president. He was a very personable individual. All the staff liked him. While I worked on campus the local custodians told me that he know all of their names and what buildings they worked in. When the University started having to make difficult financial decisions in the 1990's he was already gone. I have no idea how well he would have been during that time and the times following as research became a more important focus of the University. What I do dare say though is that he would have handled the name issue better. I honestly believe he would gone to the Standing Rock Reservation and made a pitch to them for approving the use of the name. Not sure if it would have made any difference but he would have put forth the effort. That is just my 2 cents worth.

Personally I would not want to travel right back to GB and play them again next week. That's what would have happened if the Vikes lost.

Didn't UND have a kid who played football, then when his final FB year was done, he played defense for the hockey team, and went on to play for the Pittsburgh Penguins for some years? Seems to me it was Jay .........something?
I think it was Jay Caufield?

I would be good for a $100 contribution. Not a lot of money but if we had an additional 100 people doing the same it would add up.

OK ... it's trivia time:
1. Wahpeton HS's nickname before Huskies?
2. Devils Lake HS's nickname before Firebirds?
3. Grand Forks Central HS's nickname before Knights?
Bonus:
University of North Dakota's nickname before the one banned by the NCAA?
If you are over 30 you probably went 3 for 3; if you're over 40 you probably got the bonus too.
If you are under 30 you probably said, "Before Huskies, Firebirds, and Knights? What are you talking about?"
If we'd have dealt with this when it was clear the old nickname was no longer sustainable we'd be going on a decade of the new nickname.
1. Wops
2. Satans
3. Redskins
Bonus Flickertails?

This was kind of a tongue in cheek bit. Either way I doubt I could ever cheer for FU.

My wife and I go out Friday and Saturday nights for a couple drinks and food. We have eventually transitioned over to the craft beers now. I will gladly order my MGD and her a BL if nothing else is an option. But we have noticed more and more local bars are starting to carry a few more craft beers. IMHO the craft beers and local brews are getting good traction in the GF area.
