  1. I thought murphy played well even though he didn't score. Not the same #7 I saw earlier in the year
  2. Who has done it as a freshman
  3. poganski
  4. I am looking for 4 tickets against Colorado College for the Saturday game.
  5. in the spirit all nickname discussion, how did they come up with purple eagles? I hope there's a story, so it makes sense and makes me look like a jerk, like something to do with eagles being American and purple hearts. Otherwise, you have to be kidding me with purple eagles. It sounds like a team that the hero team in a Disney movie has to beat before they play they face the bad guy team with dark grey/black jerseys.
  6. I'm not suggesting it,but I just remembered it and chuckled. Does anyone else remembered when common man said we should be the fighting curs because that's what we play like? I think I was as offended, as I was supposed to be.
  7. what's the word on visits this weekend?
  8. He'd make a good pilot
  9. my diploma frame does
  10. ugh... don't get me started on in-game production stuff with UND... maybe it's nostalgic, but I thought it was way better with less in the 2000's. I'd rather see in-game stats. Whenever I go to Fargo for games, that rushing yards, passing yards board is actually very helpful. Put up some scores with the times during breaks or something.
  11. We can be the red herrings
  12. yeah I get that, but it's kinda like the interlocking ND thing. It's different than Notre Dames but average rube will gravitate that way. Mat be theres a variation or logo that would make distinguish it for me. We're on the same page though, I feel.
  13. I like Nokotas a lot, but I don't think I'm gonna stop brainstorming until the fat lady's sung. I've gotten nostalgic about military units lately and remembered some war stuff my grandpa (WWII vet) told me. With aviation, UND has some high ranking for being a military friendly school, I think there's a good possibility there. I like predators, I just don't love that Nashville has it. Besides the ROTC connection, aviation connection, we are looking for a name to be proud of, so I figured it's a good place to explore (I'm sure others have).
  14. Looked up ND based military units, got a couple ideas there. Bomber Barons Warbirds Rough Rideas (retread, I know) Liberators Peacemakers Not all are unit names but inspired by Wikipedia pages
  15. you're right; teach them soccer goal slides. Pumps up the crowd while protecting wrists
  16. I think both of those ideas are pretty cool. Do the school then after the extra point, right up before the kickoff, so I'm still standing up and ready to do some damage on the back of the seat in front of me.
  17. Cross country guys are hyper-picky about their shoes. It's just a thing.
  18. The DoDo edit: Shoulda refreshed
  19. if other sports is the case, Brad Heidelbaugh is one of, if not the best basketball player in the state (high school) so get his all-conference plaque ready
  20. After the nickname was rejected, the mascot was asked "why the long face?"
  21. 2 tickets; section 303 row J Couldn't sell them on the ticketexchange deal. Let me know if someone can use them and I'll email them to you.
  22. I like Nokes. Let's go Nokes is a good chant. It is unique. They are really cool animals. I've gotten to see more of then lately living in western ND, and having a buddy live in Medora. They are pretty majestic. They could be a cool logo. I would love if they could add feathers to the horse's mane, which would be very similar to the Sioux logo's feather. I've always thought that would be a cool homage. I'm still the guy who suggested wolves, and I still really like that idea. I understand some think it is too generic. I've tried looking at different languages (Native American Languages, some are pretty hard to search within, Germna, various Scandanavian languages, stuff like that), and I haven't found anything that quite rolls of the tongue and works great (or at least as good as Wolves). Maybe someone else on here could find something here that I've missed. Other ideas I like are Moose or Elk (more Badland travelling), but something doesn't feel right about them. Badlanders is kinda cool while I'm on this kick. I know some people don't like the thought of animals, but I'm not really against it all. I would just prefer to be a predator. The whole wolf angle is pretty cool to me because of their prey and how drastic they change even change the landscape of their territory (metaphor type crap).
  23. I can get behind that. I like those gray helmets. I've only seen them here and there, as they're a little before me, but I can see that being done well. It's also a little unique with everyone and their mom "blacking out" jerseys or anthraciting.
  24. if there's one thing i've learned growing up in North Dakota, there is nothing that can't be fundraised via bake sale or pancake/sausage breakfast
