Best part was Rocky Hager wound up coaching a high school team....HAHAHAHHHAHHHAAHAAA!! (and didn't even succeed at that!)

THANKS Captain Obvious! (duh!)

What's your full time job?? I'm sure some of us could find a LOT to criticize about YOU but as far as I know AK is a professional artist with a studio downtown by Urban Stampede and Sledsters. I know him as a VERY nice guy from Australia who found GF a nice place to live and ply his trade. He would happily go on the radio or tv to talk about this project with a sense of humor if someone would only ask him but why would the local knuckledraggers at KNOX or WDAZ bother? At WDAZ it's the "TEE HEE" Teen anchors" who make local news a joke and JARhead Thomas at KNOX is so lazy at talk radio he's happy to pluck the low hanging fruit everyday and "JUST BRING UP SOMETHING PEOPLE CAN BITCH ABOUT" and just focus on that....without ever checking into the facts or inviting the people involved on to talk. BOTH of those entities could do so much better....why don't they? WHAT'S THEIR JOB????

If you think Adam Kemp has no talent as an artist then maybe YOU should do the next art installation! Everyone looks at something like this and thinks "I could do that!" SO WHY DON'T YOU??? If you think it's so easy....go ahead! Put YOUR art out there for the public to comment on....

Earlier this week I drove down 42nd and night and VOILA the "Ghosts" were lit up and looked pretty cool! They're in a terrible place if you want to actually stop (no place to pull over and look - THAT was dumb) and they're spaced weirdly at not necessarily the best angles so it doesn't look like a cogent "piece" but YES! The white machinery lit up on a snowy white background does evoke thoughts of the history of this region and ESPECIALLY the fact that 42nd was always just farm fields until the Alerus Center arrived and now it's slowly giving way to commercial development! So the remnants of history TRULY are ghosts in this corridor! Wow - think about that! I don't want to make the local idiots on talk radio strain their mental resources so I hate torturing JT, Ryan Cuntingham, the idiot after him, Chandler, Gene, Packer Girl, Farmer Ray and all the other 6 callers they have that say ..."THEY KNOWS ART WHEN THEY SEE IT and IT'S IN A MUSEUM!" This isn't - never will be but it is available for you to drive by and see (AGAIN - at night is best!) Try it...you might like it!!

PROBLEM SOLVED! no thanks necessary

I think it's cool! Granted, "Ghosts" could be better marked with signage and I think they still plan to light it so the installation is probably not done but the local conservative knuckledraggers on the radio have spent the last couple days crapping all over it and calling it junk. Comments like "I don't GET IT?" or "I could do that and call it art!" So I ask them to ask themselves....if you think you COULD do that? Why didn't you??? Public art evokes reaction. Reactions promote conversation. Conversation invigorates community. Radio pays CRAP (we GET IT because you complain about IT so much!) so maybe you should go into public ART! Maybe then you could make some money!

I hear SWEENEY has applied.... ...wait for it.... HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAA!!!!

I'm sure when he tells everyone there in Japur one reason to come to NDSU is they have GAMEDAY on their new crappy TV ads the universal response will be....

So ding dong the witch (for some of you) is dead. His first week on radio was marked with an "exclusive" interview" with Dave Hakstol (on Tuesday, not MONDAY as KFGO promoted for their new "star") that turned into more of a "I've had a lot of life changes too" and "Here's the new challenges I'm facing out of the box, a lot like you Dave?" questions that made him seem like the male radio equivalent of a certain KVYY anchor gal (Okay Stephanie G!) that's all about LOOK AT ME!!! I'm a STAR!!!! The segment I caught on his "new" show was very sad with some old people from an old folks home in Fertile. Dan was asking them about their favorite Christmas songs from years past and this old lady blurted out...."That LOLLIPOP song" Dan played along and asked about it as a non-traditional christmas song and the lady burst into.."On The GOOD SHIP - LOLLIPOP!" Turns out she totally had dementia - very cringeble!! Good luck on radio Dan but remember you have to fill 3 hours every day with interesting content that makes people want to pick up the phone and call....good luck!

Changed my vote from FH to RoughRiders...can't wait until natives call Teddy a racist and f*ck this whole process again! fantastic!

OR CHOKED ON HIS OWN PUKE because THIS Hawk design completely BLOWS! Uugggghhhh! This is why I changed my vote from Hawks to Roughriders...

a side member of the GOBC! !@#$ you GFHOCKEY! btw

ME and my Seasick Yosemite SAM Roughrider hat.... YES! I'm COOL I'm CRATTER! rhymes with crapper which is where I'm headed... no offense -no relation - I LIVE IN TODAY! gnd

What? You make no sense but that's the point of the "FH" nickname There IS room for creativity there...okay...I get it you're just drunk,.

No that seasick son-of-yosemite sam avatar you have is the WORST logo in college athletics! Why does he have crossed hockey sticks on the side? Did US Cavalry (yes CAVALRY not CALVARY!:-o) soldiers have to fight off a lot of french canadian hockey players on the plains???

RIBBED! (for her pleasure) TOLD YA!!!! Lets go CONDOMS! (cha-cha-cha) LET'S GO CONDOMS!!!! Our well paid consultant will tell you this is what he what he was paid for...YET still allowed to be in the final vote tally....well I'm about ready to SNAP! (get it? condom joke)

Even with the LOGO-that-won't-BE-the-logo floating around...at least there is an avenue of creativity there with Fighting Hawks that could result in something like the LOGO-that-won't-BE-the-logo but even cooler...that could be the REAL contest!! But also probably result in 4-5 internet votes too...sorry

who the hell is "mason bennett"????

sounds like we have a budding HOCKEY fan here?????

Thanks for tapping into our key demo - 70 YEAR OLD WOMEN! Did her memories go back to old school movie newsreels? Sounds like she was kind of disturbed by the latest field maneuvers of the KAISER and took solice in the pigskin antics of her favorite gridiron team - THE NODAKS with their leather helmets and all!:-p Ag school fans are already making the signs...GO NODICKS! Which I guess would be appropriate for our womens' teams but not for the men. The only positive out of that situation is we all know who the biggest DICKS are in the sports world and they go to the ag school down south to study whatever they teach down there and I couldn't give 2 sh*ts what that is! GO FIGHTING HAWKS!

AND here's the entire Nickname Vote Debacle encapsulated in :34 seconds. STARRING Sideshow Bob Kelley with his moving van in the background! GO FIGHTING RAKES!!!!

Here's a thought...instead of pissing on everything Fighting Hawk that might come out from whatever source what if there's a concerted effort to say...okay...this is going to be the name so lets make the logo as badass as possible (without THAT logo floating around now on the internets or any other designs with feathers that will be bitched and ditched - there is NO CHANCE they will be the logo selected!) NO ONE likes this process but face facts....Fighting Hawks will most likely be the name. NOW IS YOUR CHANCE to make something out of literally nothing and come up with something that might make us say...it's not the old logo but I LIKE IT! I'm sure UND would be happy to drop another 100 G's on ANOTHER CONSULTANT who would come up with 'professional' designs but look what a ND artist did with the last logo....there IS inspiration out there - WE JUST NEED TO TAP INTO IT! Instead of being negative how about channeling some of this energy into being positive and see what we can come up with.

Might as well be the COWS..that stupid TEDDY ROOSEVELT logo that some of you have latched onto looks like Yosemite Sam after a Bad St. Patricks Day excursion at the old Final Five in St. Paul! And WHY THE HELL would he have crossed HOCKEY STICKS on his hat? Thanks for excluding every other sport at UND for your single interest - unless the rings were supposed to represent GYMNASTICS (oh yeah - not a und sport) NEXT!

I updated my info about a month ago and since then I've been spammed about every Alumni event/fundraising opportunity happening in the lower 48 so I know I will probably get info on the vote soon...at least they've confirmed contact:-) Channel your inner 4th grader to find the problem with NODAKS...a-holes on the bison board have already confirmed this...replace the "A" with an "I" then go back to the old picture a few posts above of the bb players in the Nodak jerseys and their very short, tight basketball shorts....uuugggghhhhh! That would be MEME heaven for those idiots from lowest-common-denominator U! Fighting Hawks might be generic right now but at least it gives us a tie to the past and something to work with for the future! That internet logo that's out there right now won't be it but THAT NAME could be a start to something cool AND original. That's my vote!
