two desirable characteristics that UND student fans DID NOT show by leaving early:
1. Decency - if you're only there for the chance that you might win a scholarship, just stay for the whole game. Otherwise, odds are low enough that you should have waited a few tables that afternoon and made $100 bucks guaranteed. Have the decency to hide your selfishness.
2. Commitment - Just finish what you start. Not hard - you sat there for 2.5 hours, why not finish it out?
UND made the massive mistake of trying not to inconvenience the students by waiting until the very end of the game to reveal the winner. I suggest next time they not hide their intentions and wait until the players are in their respective locker rooms. I was a student last fall - it sucked getting called out on this site. But he is right - they do leave every time, they do lack the decency to hide the selfish motives and the commitment to finish something even when its become inconvenient for them. Its funny - we all want attendance and atmosphere to improve - but only one poster has dared to put the blame on the fans and not the team.
(he was basically tarred and feathered)

While I lol'd at the bottom comment - lets keep civil here. Oxbow usually predicts a UND win. The only one here who pretends tonot be an NDSU fan when he is is Johnboy.

And......the winner of the big sky ( S Utah) was given a 1500 mile flight to Texas as their prize. The committee has shown their "love" for the big sky.
By beating the almighty mvfc teams, and the majority of them have been road trips for the big sky, it should be an indicating that the mvfc is ndsu and only ndsu. Uni is hyped to the max every year yet what have they done? They have never won a championship! Believed they played in 1. They are 1-2 and 0-2 vs big sky this year. Sdsu was dismantled by cal poly at home. So if you take out ndsu, the other teams are on par with the big sky and caa. Hope the commitee takes notice come playoff time
I agree w/what you're saying I'm just not saying it (NDSU being the only real difference between the two conferences).
For everyone's sake, I hope the rest of the season between the MVFC and Big Sky plays out as it has already.

I guess the only way I can understand why UND fans are so confident is because you are at home and you are relying on ancient history for your predictions. We haven't played each other in years. None of the coaches or players are even around anymore. What has changed is that UND has been wondering around in the Big Sky wilderness for years. To put it in hockey terms that you all understand, USD has been cutting its teeth in the NCHC and you guys have been hanging around in the WCHA. The conferences are that far apart. Every time you have tangled with another Dakota school since you joined the BSC it hasn't gone well for you. This isn't the same USD program you grew up with anymore guys.
I said it on the USD board so I'll say it here, USD is 20+ points better than UND on a neutral field, since it is in GF I'll give you guys 7 more. USD 31 - UND 17.
Sure.
The 'Yotes are Western Michigan and we'll be Bemidji State.
not a whole lot of difference.

really excited for this season - I like the Boeser taking a step forward talk, but is there any chance his numbers take a slight dip backwards? He had some pretty stellar linemates (2 as opposed to a guarantee 1 this year) playing with him too last season.

I'd be fine with MSUM in the NCHC, as that was always a fun rivalry in the WCHA. UND almost always took care of business, but I remember some pretty heated games against them in the mid 2000s. That and my brother went to grad school (after UND), would be fun to be able to drive there from the cities to watch some games.
Still not a huge fan of bringing in a team like ASU, but maybe it will work out well.
Not sure how good Moorhead's club team is, but I do know that currently Chris Dilks is a real goofer on Twitter. Not a big fan.
Can someone recount how his story went of UND being the reason for the upheaval? Did he blame it on us for being racist or..? -

Not sure why people make suggestions like this. The logo is not going to change. Just a border added for different backgrounds. The hawk is making the letters with the shape of its head. Any changes would compromise that. The ND is subtle. But it is still there. No need to change it.
could you do us a fan and change your moniker to 'Hawkerfan7' ? you're sending us mixed signals.

I'm pretty torn. Seems clear that NCHC was born to preserve and advance the hockey tradition at UND (and elsewhere) and it has done a fantastic job. We have a good mix of area teams (UMD, SCSU, UND - WMICH, MIAMI - CC, DU) and at least partially centrally located (UNO). We have 8 schools committed to hockey excellence (many of them succeeding). We have d1 schools (wmich, Miami, du, UND), and we have smaller schools.
I'm torn between fun to-go-to games (NCC rivals, old WCHA) and national prominence (growing the sport, cementing UND on the map). I think we could take a lesson from the Little 6 and remember that hockey fans do not care about P5 opponents and like fun to-go-to games. The biggest difference between the Little 6 and the NCHC is that the NCHC prioritized hockey, while the 6 prioritized D1, 'respectable' opponents (I understand their hand was forced). Look where we are now.It also feels too concentrated - the quality of play in the NCHC is remarkable. WMICH and MIAMI are punching bags right now and I don't know if they will always be content to value hockey highly and get the piss pounded out of them. We might have to dilute the strength a little. and If we do, I think we need to maintain what I mentioned above - balance. A school like ASU would demand a school like BGSU (would gain two d1 opponents, lots of exposure and national prominence, a local opponent for CC, DU, WMICH, MIAMI, but would offer little hockey prominence). Then again, adding MNSU in place of BGSU would give us hockey prominence (some) and another local opponent for UND fans (the apparent fulcrum) - but would damage relationship with eastern schools, and devalue the NCHC's values further (sizable endowments, merit of education).
Adding BGSU and MNSU, w/a proviso that ASU could come when it brings UNLV/UA w/it might be my favored outcome. 12 seems too many, but I don't see any way to make everyone happy - plus it would ease my concern of having 2 disgruntled east teams that, out of necessity, are the doormats for the best teams in the nation. If those 2 east teams were to leave, the NCHC would be mightily unstable in my mind.
On the other hand if we had a conference of UND, UMD, SCSU, UNO, DU and CC - w/4 conference games against each and 14 OOC - the 'NCHC' could probably still get 4-5 teams in the tournament every year and grow the sport, while taking on prominent OOC teams each year and free up WMICH and MIAMI to be powers in a different conference? Might be a little harebrained, but that's a whole different topic.
Preserving and advancing the NCHC should be our main goal - growing the sport and putting players through to the NHL a secondary goal. Extra drive games (as UND fans) shouldn't be (already pretty spoiled w/SCSU, UMD, UNO). I think we need to do that by being nationwide and having regional opponents for each team who are committed to hockey. I'm either on a 12 team plan or a 6 team. Sorry if this is rambling and diluted - there are lots of moving parts.

The bolder lines are a very good addition. Would be nice if UND made similar alterations (I also wouldn't mind seeing the top left corner of the "N" be more in line with the bottom right corner of the "N")
Looks a little Dallas Stars-ish/an 80s futuristic look but at least I can pigeonhole it. (I mean, its an improvement, at least).
would black lines near the top of each feather, converging toward the head be too much?

Makes me wonder why he deleted the tweet and did a 180 the next day, if so.
Because athletic departments, by virtue of NCAA ca. early-2000s, are in the business of social-engineering. A business no one belongs in.
I would argue his 180 was a little facetious, leaving room for one to assume it was a 'forced' attempt at supporting the logo, evidenced by his picture. Also, if it came from Berry, it was forced as well, considering his current Twitter avatar.

The hockey program is stuck up, fortunately they produce big time so they have a long, long rope. Nevertheless, limited humility by the hockey program. Last time I checked, the University of North Dakota is not in Canada (although many think it just as well could be) and hockey is not the be all and end all. You want to expand notoriety, you expand football and basketball; hockey is already maxed out and has no right to complain and b*tch.
and here we are.
InHeavenThereIsNoBeer got it right, there are some little brother syndromes going on. You, UND-1, UNDBIZ, and geaux-sioux have it. I respect and am thankful for Bubba, and he made a fantastic speech that I'm still grappling with. I also respect Barry, and - get this - I think they respect eachother. As long as both football and hockey (and all the other sports) win, why do we need to make this about bowing down to the administration? Are we not just happy winning, or do we have to fight about the names?
I've not looked into the etymology but Virginia's official name is the cavaliers and everyone calls them the wahoos there, Auburn are the tigers and its all 'war eagle' at the games, why not here?
I think we need to take a page out of both coaches books and respect eachother.

The baseball team handled their program getting cut better than the hockey team handled a new logo.
In today's world, getting taught how others perceive your social media posts is more important in some cases than what is being taught in class.
Did you see the baseball teams public twitter reaction? Are you kidding?

I'm not saying the university should force players to keep quiet; I think the players themselves should know better. And yes, maybe the university could have counseled in advance on a proper public response. I'm pretty sure the athletic dept already works with the athletes on having an appropriate social media presence; I don't see how this is any different.
-and relatively, I think they probably do keep quiet about a lot of things on social media. I don't think its so clear-cut with the nickname.
When you start talking about the university counseling them on a proper public response in advance, it starts to feel a little bit like a gag order.

Interesting that we think the guys with the logo on their chests can't criticize it, but the person who commissioned it can?

I find that young men, in particular, have a hard time censoring themselves when they think they are standing for what is right.
