But the logo possibilities are limitless!
I love it. The Cows . Can't go to bed I'm laughing so hard.

Score anybody? I don't have ESPN3 or any other live stream. Is the game over?

WOw bench santiago already 3 fumbles and now a lost one at the 1 yard line. This is bad.
he's too small to climb over the pack...needs an open field to execute

I'd rather see them getting reps. Was hoping a few of the guys would be back by now but makes sense to be cautious so they can be ready when the season starts. Seems UND has had bad luck with injuries lately, just glad that most of them seem to be minor. Just unfortunate they seem to be at positions where new faces could use some work.
One of the guys had Turf Toe and had to have his toe nails pulled. Ugh Ugh. Lucky to be walking at all I would think

Managed to catch a little bit of the early practice yesterday. Was still a quite a few guys in shorts which is disappointing. The only one that I saw that looked to be longer term was Coyne (looked like he had a set of crutches). Bartels seemed to struggle the most in QB drills, neither Studsrud or Mollberg stood out from each other. Nick Schmitz was getting quite a few reps at NG and was looking pretty good. Still think there will be a lot of rotation at that spot and they will count on energy/effort over talent, at least right away. Tank Harris was one of the guys in shorts but was participating in position group drills, was hoping to see how he looked there. Ratelle made a few nice plays, the linebacking corps with him leading this year is going to be fun to watch.
Just curious, why was it disappointing to see guys in shorts?

Theyll appear to be running faster than before so there's that
LOL...Because the feet will look like one long blur? Who keeps them white? Maintenance?

Yup it did...Thanks, for the bother

I want leave town every time I see snow
Just testing this doggone new Word Processor to see if it quotes correctly.

I can't find Sicatoka's Post about the new team owned by Be Elze Bub so I can't quote him. Just heard the new coach Mr. Lucifer promised to have one hot team this year.

Who cares, they'll come up with something regardless of what we pick:
Whioux
no d#&!s
fighting hicks
Etc.
There is always something, we saw that with Fighting Sioux too. That's not what you base a decision on.
You are so funny.. My belly hurts from laughing. End of the day and nice to hit the sack in a good mood.

Is Lowell Schwiegert on the Committee or not? One post says he was a member and beneath the Post it said "if he had volunteered to be on the Committee." Which is it? Sorry but I am having a terrible problem using a quote. My Puter keeps taking me back to my own Word Processing so it doesn't compute and gets all hosed up.
-
With all due respect, I hope not!
Oops, all I saw was the Jersey. I have to say the pants are pretty busy to say the least. I love the color green they used. Shoulder caps could be toned down a bit too but all in all the color combos are awesome.

Read today where the U of Miami Hurricanes signed a contract with Addidas in January for new uniforms and they were just revealed. They have 3 different sets in Orange, Green, and White giving them 9 combinations. Also the fabric used will (supposedly) make it harder for them to be tackled. The word "Miami" is very prominent in the front. Very sharp! Nice if UND does as well with its design from Addidas.

UMD aready has a great nickname, the Bulldogs.
Oooops. Darn these typos. Even on a reread one doesn't always catch them....LOL

By citing JAX and their color mess disaster of a logo you have formally DQ'd yourself from ever mentioning logos or colors again.
Hmmm, I have heard of no disaster or a color mess with them. Truth be told I have not followed them much except lately when they captured Blake Bortles on 1st pick. BTW, I am not a North Dakotan but hail from Michigan and Minnesota hence my poor understanding of your ND map and or local UMD jargon. I am 100% behind UMD and I am glad that there is such fierce pride in the school and its teams. There is nothing like being proud of your heritage and roots that go deep. I still like Fighting Hawks, sorry.

Think out of the box artistically for the Logo
At first I liked Rough Riders. Now I hate it. How would the Logo look? Maybe a Teddy Bear or Green and Black with a green shirted cowboy on a black horse? Or a cavalry officer in those colors. No no no. Been thinking of Fighting Hawks more and more. A black hawk's head with green eyes beautifully captured by a good artist. Maybe even a green beak. A thatch of white feathers? I dunno but the design is endless. Look at the Jacksonville Jags, colors gold and teal with the jaguars head gold and the tongue and eyes teal. Very sharp!
Even he hockey team would love hearing "Go Hawks, go hawks."

I am the Nikola Tesla of this process. The true genius of my creation will not be recognized until after my death.
And you are a Finnlander too, I suppose. Maybe you would like Laplanders

I dont see athletic depts handing out money for meals that they dont provide unless the cafeteria only serves one or two meals over a weekend during the year. Preseason they usually have their schedules lock down tight so all meals are going to be arranged. IMO.
I don;t follow you. There are no meals prepared for the team before or after practice. If you read the Guidelines you will see that they recommend 5 meals a day. BTW we used to know an NFL'er. He was huge, which most are, and he used to eat a dozen eggs, and a steak every morning. What does that tell ya? These kids, some of them are still filling out, they are big, and they need food, lots of it. If Bubba wants a skinny little line O and D he's gonna get it.
Maybe we could mail them some Corned Beef Hash and then they could buy their own eggs if all the hens aren't dead yet.

"At the start of a season or during vacation periods when training is most intense is where the most additional food will be provided. " Missed this sentence last time. Is the start of the season the 2 months July and August? I don't get it. If these are NCAA guidelines which schools are following it? Obviously not UND.
-
The expression is "blood, sweat, and tears".
If you are sweating bloody tears please seek medical assistance. Blood should not come out of your tear ducts or sweat glands.
You are correct and I know that one but was in a mad rush so misstated the expression. So nice to have a doctor on the boards. LOL
-
Omg but what about the regular students who are hungry in the off season.
Regular students dont' have to sweat bloody tears for the UND Team
-
Is there an executive summary available?
Didn;t see anything. Google it and see if you can find anything

Our football players are hungry because they are not being fed. Cafeteria closed. All kids do not come from wealthy families who can supply the huge meals they need. These athletes need huge meals with protein. Practice and weight training w/o sufficient calories will cause weight loss. They need to gain weight to be ready for the fall season. This stinks. I will try to C&P the new NCAA 2014 rules. They can get meals during vacations but it does not mention summer practice.
What Athletes Will Get Under the NCAA’s New Food Rules Posted on April 16, 2014 at 12:39 pm.Written by John Infante
On Tuesday, the NCAA Legislative Council adopted Proposal 2013–31-B, which has the following intent:
To specify that an institution may provide meals and snacks to student-athletes as a benefit incidental to participation in intercollegiate athletics.2013–31-B still needs to be approved by the Board of Directors and make it through the override period. The Board of Directors will be a formality but the override period might be closer. Chances are though that starting on August 1, institutions will have few restrictions on providing food to all athletes on top of what scholarship athletes receive as part of their financial aid.
This is not the first food-related proposal the NCAA has adopted this year. In January, 2013–28 was passed, which allows institutions to include any meal plan available to all students as part of a scholarship, not one which tops out at three meals per day. As a result of these two proposals, the food a full scholarship athlete can receive has changed from this:
- Meal plan that includes three meals per day;
One training table meal per day, which comes out of the scholarship;Food provided at the institution’s discretion starting with dinner the night before a home game, plus an extra meal after the game;Either food provided at the institution’s discretion or per diem for three meals per day on a road trip, plus a pre- or postgame meal;Three meals per day or per diem when athletes are required to remain on campus during vacation periods, plus an additional meal each day;Energy bars and other carbohydrate boosters; andFruits, nuts and bagels (now with spreads),To this (changes emphasized):
- Any meal plan available to all students;
- One training table meal per day, which comes out of the scholarship;
- Food provided at the institution’s discretion starting with dinner the night before a home game, plus an extra meal after the game;
- Either food provided at the institution’s discretion or per diem for three meals per day on a road trip, plus a pre- or postgame meal;
- Three meals per day or per diem when athletes are required to remain on campus during vacation periods;
- Additional meals at the institution’s discretion to meet nutritional needs;
- Nutritional supplements including energy bars and carbohydrate boosters; and
- Any type of snack.
In practice what does this mean?
In the short term I doubt many athletes will see a lot more food all the time. Snacks available might expand beyond fruits, nuts and bagels. Athletes who are hungry late at night will be able to call a coach or noncoaching staff member and get a meal when normal facilities are closed. Instead the approach will be to provide more food at the time athletes need it the most and when an extra meal has the biggest impact on performance.
At the start of a season or during vacation periods when training is most intense is where the most additional food will be provided. An athlete who is on a meal plan designed for a 2,500 or 3,000 calorie/day diet who needs two-three times that might get four or five meals per day between their meal plan, per diem, and extra meals provided by the athletic department. Football is the best example. This is a theoretical schedule of activities and meals for a football player during preseason practice:
- 6:00–7:00 AM – Wake up, first breakfast (per diem)
- 7:00–8:00 AM – Morning weights
- 8:00–9:00 AM – Second breakfast (provided by athletic department)
- 9:00–10:00 AM – Film study
- 10:00–12:00 PM – Free Time
- 12:00–1:00 PM – Lunch (per diem)
- 1:00–2:30 PM – Position meetings
- 2:30–5:30 PM – Practice
- 5:30–6:30 PM – First dinner (provided by athletic department)
- 6:30–7:30 PM – Film study
- 7:30–8:30 PM – Second dinner (per diem)
This is one more meal that the previous rule for in-season practice during a vacation period that allowed institutions to provide three meals or per diem plus one extra meal (no per diem option) each day. In this scenario, the institution provides per diem when the athletes might not be around (early breakfast, lunch after free time, late dinner) and extra meals when the athletes are required to be at the facility.
Again, this includes one additional meal vs. the old rule, the first dinner after practice. On a day off, that meal might not be provided. In both cases throughout the day athletes will have access to snacks like fruit, bagels, energy bars, and drinks like Gatorade or Muscle Milk. It will not be an all-hours, open buffet; meals will be targeted at certain points like right after practice. And rather than celebrity chefs, these meals will be put together by dietitians and nutritionists since these will be the only times athletic departments can guarantee athletes are not eating junk food.
The other guarantee is that despite the NCAA’s instance that these meals are not designed to replace an athlete’s board scholarship, they will do just that. A lot of that will be because of the actions of the athlete. Our fictional basketball player might try to go without the second dinner, essentially pocketing that portion of their board stipend if they live off-campus. The football player may try to grab a bagel before weights and go without the later dinner as well. That will net him two meals worth of per diem, which is normally somewhere between $45 and $75 per day. That does not sound like much but it adds up over the course of a basketball season or even three weeks of preseason camp. More universities might even give per diem rather than providing actual meals for the three regular meals during vacation periods, knowing they still have the ability to make sure athletes are getting something to eat.
This is not the end of NCAA food reform though, and it seems likely that eventually all meals will be provided and funded by the athletic department for all athletes, including walk-ons. Books seem like the first element of a scholarship that will be removed, but board will not be far behind. It will not affect football, basketball, or other headcount sports but the board allowance might stay in the scholarship calculation, allowing equivalency sports to spread that money around to more athletes. For schools that can afford it, this would be one way to increase scholarship limits in some.

IMO a Black alternate helmet looks much sharper than gray. Are you thinking of adding a 4th school color? What's wrong with green, black, and white?

You are a true fan and couldn't have said it better. Think how it must feel to come out and not have anyone cheering you on. Wish I had a copy of a recent article stating how these football players should be paid 1000's to play for all the money they bring into the school. They are hurt and sometimes injured for life. More on this later my batteries are almost out. I for one am behind them all the way, win or lose.
