Get over it. He's gone. Show some class.

Fixed your post.

Pick a product you like, any product. Look at it. Look at its packaging, its design, its logo. Look at its advertising. 99.9999% of all of that was created by professionals. And whatever input the owner had, I'm pretty sure that was vetted by the pros as well. Design is part art, part science, part process, part emotion, part listening, part understanding, part luck, part skill, part passion, and part ego. It seems a little premature to write off UND on this one. We can only hope the toxic atmosphere of the nickname debate doesn't scare away the best designers.

Or wrap a towel around her head. And have some soup. And get a nap.

Hawks win!

Final minute.

3:00.

The jinx is strong with this one.

Can lightning strike twice? Do you want to go to that well again? Won't anything less than a home run taint the legacy and remove some of the luster and reverence? I'm no art critic, but you'd be putting a lot of pressure on the guy.

Immediately…by offering to carry the baggage of some of the anti-FH/anti-Kelley folks around here.

Understated…the way it should be. I like it.

Nice find…I hadn't come across his blog before. This inexplicable avian affinity has quickly transformed from quirk to aberration to phenomenon to trend to provable fact. I wonder if you could get anything close to even money odds if such things were open to gambling. Are there no "safe" nicknames beyond birds? What does this say about contemporary US society?

Here's the great part…you'll have a chance to offer up your two cents about what makes sense. http://und.edu/features/2015/11/final-nickname-runoff-vote.cfm

Reading some of the reactions on Twitter leads me to the following realization: Anti-FH people with identifiable Twitter accounts are either (1) independently wealthy, (2) very, very secure in their employment and/or future employability, or (3) completely insane. Having an opinion on a matter of public concern is one thing…expressing it with zero regard for how it will be perceived by those with less (i.e., no) zeal for the subject is another.

I'm guessing you open all your presents on Christmas Eve, too. For a "botched" process, you sure are antsy about the outcome. Relax.

No explanation for students, but the fact that this was opening weekend for GFYHA play couldn't have helped vis-a-vis area families. Looked like there were games back-to-back-to-back at ICON all day.

Hit Scotty's Deli (a/k/a Al's Lite) on South Washington for lunch today. Some familiar menu items (for those of you who frequented Al's) including several sandwiches and wraps, and the service was good. Seating felt sparse (nothing fancy about the furniture), and couldn't quite get over the 'Pita Pit/I've been here before' feeling, but overall a good experience. Interesting tidbit...only bottled sodas, so if you are a frequent re-filler at the fountain, you'll need to pace yourself or pony up.

Run your business like a destination, and people will find their way there. As for "casual" grocery shoppers? "Hornbachers" enjoys zero brand recognition outside of FM, so I'm not sure they're going to draw folks in off the street on building signage alone. That location kind of sucks for visibility anyway…stuff's built up all cattywampus on that lot.

http://www.wdaz.com/news/north-dakota/3881793-hornbachers-blocks-new-business-moving Doesn't say much for the business climate and welcoming new development. Although I'm not sure I would have picked that spot in that lot for a new restaurant.

With the melting polar ice caps and all, you never know. Still seems more likely than thousands of UND students and alumni being as gullible as some think.

Risk of injuries >>> fun quotient. I'm surprised that the Manitoba games get as physical as they do, but the Bisons probably feel they have something to prove. (For the record, I agree with you that it would be cool.)

Maybe the "fight" is the institution's ongoing struggle with Multiple Personality Disorder.

Not quarreling with you, but I find the opposite. Which is very interesting, and confusing. At http://www.umeshawks.com/genrel/mdes-genrel.html (a listing of 12+ years worth of press releases), the word "Fighting" appears once. At http://www.umeshawks.com/ot/mdes-store.html (the online store), there are zero instances of "Fighting". Same for the school bio on the athletics page (http://www.umeshawks.com/school-bio/mdes-school-bio.html) and media relations page (http://www.umeshawks.com/media-relations/mdes-media-relations.html). Is this the ultimate identity crisis or what?

Interesting. Per Wikipedia, they are officially the "Hawks." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Maryland_Eastern_Shore Do you have a source?
