Relatively simple, cost-effective fixes added.

Meh, the federal funding dried up. Happens.

Bubba's jacket is bad, but the new football uniforms look good to me.

Alerus expansion was the excuse for purchasing the land (they have bought it now). More probable reason is the city wanted to lock it up for a potential library/art museum.

Apparently the Star Tribune doesn't have Minnesota and Notre Dame penciled in for the playoffs....

I stocked up on Sioux hockey jerseys, so I'll be wearing those for years to come. I don't foresee the hockey team making the new logo too prominent on their jerseys regardless of what's chosen anyway. But when it comes to hats, sweatshirts, t-shirts, polos, etc. my collection is starting to deteriorate pretty quickly. I've purchased a couple items with just the interlocking ND on them, but they're pretty boring so I tend to not wear them as much. Hopefully a good logo is designed and merchandise with the new name is made available relatively quickly after this whole thing is decided. I'd also like to buy a football jersey someday, if the jerseys are ever made available...... I'm not anti-Fighting Sioux (but I realize it's never coming back). I'm anti-no nickname.

I will be..... There hasn't been Sioux apparel in Bismarck for a while now. If the last 3 years has shown me anything, it's that they are really struggling to produce a cool design that has UND or The University of North Dakota on it. I've been holding out for the new name, which hopefully comes soon because my hats are getting pretty gross.

Speculation. Every once in a while somebody throws out the name of a rich alum and questions whether he/she is a potential Ralph.

Meh, could be the Salem Salems.

It's a tough decision to make. Revenue up front with limited exposure vs. expenses up front with greater exposure, providing potential for increased donations, enrollment, and apparel sales.

I would characterize it as speculative at best.

Peter Nygard is apparently a big deal in women's clothing manufacturing. Not sure of his worth now, but a Forbes article from 2010 puts him at $877 million. Not a very flattering article, unfortunately. Seems like the kind of guy who would like to see his name on the side of a stadium though

Do we get an alternate logo too?

Nodaks = 100% bland - an abbreviated version of the name of the state Fighting Hawks = 85% bland - it's another hawk Roughriders = 10% bland - state nickname (same as the 2 prior UND nicknames), historical reference, only drawback is some people seem to care that it's used by a high school (personally, I quit caring about high school sports almost immediately after graduating from high school)

In the case being voted on, Nodaks would be equivalent with University of Missouri Mizzous, University of Mississippi Ole Misses, and University of California Cals, which don't exist for obvious reasons. If you still feel it's the least bad nickname option that's fine, but don't try to mislead with a direct comparison to Mizzou (which has an actual nickname).

Glad I could help to fill the void. Mizzou is the Tigers, other similar situations include the Ole Miss Rebels and the Cal Golden Bears. So really, just Nodak isn't a valid comparison. The Nodak Roughriders works.

Really? I can't think of too many kickers who are only 70% on extra points. UND men's basketball wishes it was 70% from the free throw line.
