Some of the complaints a lot of you are coming up with are pretty hilarious. God himself could have done a Fighting Hawks logo and people would still nitpick and whine. Move on, this won't be the logo for the next 1000 years.
Does anyone know if Mercer is actually good? There's only his highschool film that I could find and that was pretty useless since he was playing qb. I guess we'll have to just assume he's good and trust the staff.
The first home game is the most important of the season for winning new fans. We must put on a good show especially for the new freshman. Make a good impression on them and they're more likely to keep coming back and having a good time. Same for bandwagon fans that might be checking out this Santiago kid.
I think last season set the table for this one which will be the redefinition of the UND football program. This season we will gain respect nationally. The atmosphere will increase big time as the football team ascends the rankings.
Bisonville says its a pwo offer from both schools. I agree that comitting to a pwo this early is a terrible choice. I think we can deduce that it was likely a now or never take it or leave it offer from ndsu.
