As one who wanted UND to adopt Roughriders from the start, it is still THE University of North Dakota, and if Fighting Hawks is the name, whether it was something I liked or not, just doesn't matter. Fighting Hawks is the name that was chosen. Would rather just go by Hawks than the clumsy sounding Fighting Hawks, but it still doesn't matter. The teams on the field, court, ice, diamond, course, whatever, ... still represent THE University of North Dakota. And as I said above, at least it's not Sundogs.

Fixed it for you.

Any news or rumors out of Reno about the direction Idaho will go with their football team?

Is it enough to get to the semifinals and lose? The Big Sky is not a good BB conference, so UND under Jones seems to be able to do that against the generally 'average' middle of the pack and lower Sky teams. On the other hand Weber and Montana are "above average" and Jones cannot seem to solve that riddle. imho UND will never get to The Dance under Jones. Is that the level that satisfies UND in DI? Can he come up with and implement schemes that win important games?

Thanks. Got it.

Wait... You mean to tell me that season tickets for UND football are $75?!!!! So if 4000 people who would never be able to show up at the Alerus paid $25 for season tickets to non-existent end zone seats, that would satisfy this ridiculous rule?

Or how about 4000 standing room tickets at the Alerus for $3 (1/3 price would be $1) each for the balconies, end zones and other miscellaneous areas? disclaimer - I live in Arizona and have never been to the Alerus so have no personal concept of what I am suggesting.

Don't know if SiouxVolley's scenario will actually happen (even though the pieces seem to be falling into place) but it is sure entertaining to watch the Bison trolls panic as the story unfolds.

Would really like to see what Walthall would do at UND and the Big Sky, but it might be tough to drop Jones this year. Walthall will more than likely be gone from MSUM no later then next year, but more likely this spring.

Since New Mexico State is still WAC and Idaho was, would the Big Sky use the WAC as leverage in creating an FBS division? Or has the WAC lost its FBS designation since it imploded?

Sounds familiar... %gobc bisonville style

Reminds me too much of this one.

So-o-o... Anything from SME?

Sorry, meant to +1. Finger missed

Meant "frats"

Historically, don't these things start with frays?

Either UNDBIZ's version of Geaux Sioux's bird (the one with the subliminal Sioux across the neck feathers) Or 77iceman's wings have my vote.

Thats on Jones. Not many road trips shorter than UNC, this is DI. Should have had plenty of time to prepare for one Saturday game.

I must say that I really like the subliminal SIOUX across the feathers on the bottom of your rendering.

I think he played JC somewhere in the Phoenix metro. Without looking it up, Glendale CC comes to mind. edit - looked it up, transfer from U of A, Tucson

Didn't Georges come out of Arizona? Seems to be a better than most receiver.
