Fetch Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 My kids were young when Thunder was around & he was a Huge Hit they loved him Quote
Blackheart Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Nope, it was Thunder. ThundAr is the costumed buffalo in Fargo. Not to be confused with Thundarr the Barbarian, basically an early version of He-Man. 1 Quote

Chewey Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 Great. That's just the thing - a weather phenomenon. Outstanding. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 If you want to play the UND thing in the middle I've already tossed in the idea of ... SCOUNDRELS Quote
andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!! Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 Here you go...I took a pic from a 1991 UND football program. Its the only pic of him in it. AWESOME!!! Quote
KBH2010 Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 You can't have nickname like that, silly! Cavalier (ND) High School already uses it. (; So does Oakes, nd. Both orange and black, both tornadoes. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 I think Stevie Ray Vaughn (RIP) should get credit for this idea as his tune gave me the idea. The North Dakota Crossfire Quote
The Sicatoka Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 So does Oakes, nd. Both orange and black, both tornadoes. So do Cavalier and Oakes pool together and buy in bulk? Quote

They hope to wrap it up this year. I believe they were about $30 million short of the goal as of July 1. I'm sure that's why he is wearing a North Dakota Spirit shirt. Quote

82SiouxGuy Posted September 22, 2012 Posted September 22, 2012 The latest... $274,771,686 So they need to raise about $90,000 a day until June 30, 2013 to reach the goal by the end of the fiscal year. Quote
Blackheart Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 So just take the balance out of petty cash, right? Quote
GeauxSioux Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 The number grew in the last week..... $285,001,173 Quote
The Sicatoka Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 The number grew in the last week..... $285,001,173 It grew in a week a little over $10 million ... I'm guess that's primarily the Hamm/Continental donation for engineering. Quote
UNDBIZ Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 It grew in a week a little over $10 million ... I'm guess that's primarily the Hamm/Continental donation for engineering. Did the prior total already include the Altru donation? Either way, it's getting close.... Quote
ksixpack Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 University of North Dakota Fighting Sasquatch…yes Sasquatch! It is unique and the marketing possibilities are endless. The Bigfoot imprint would be our logo. We could finally have a mascot…something similar to the Big Foot on the Jack Links beef jerky ads (nobody messes with Sasquatch!) Because this is a mythical creature (I think?) we should be able to avoid the PC crowd and have a little fun with our mascot and marketing our team. Envision it all…loud music blaring…team in the tunnel… close up of the glowing eyes of the Sasquatch on the fascia ring… cue the famous Patterson video of Sasquatch on the big screen...extreme close up of the sasquatch on the big screen as he turns his head toward the camera …the sudden primal scream of the sasquatch fills the arena…Brian Lee Rivers/Darrin Looker asks the crowd “Are you ready for your Yeti?...crowd worked up into a frenzy and banging their tree knockers (thunder sticks) together… No, we don’t have any history of Sasquatch in our area but they are mythical (I think?) and frankly all the other names like Cavalry, Rough Riders, Sodbusters, Norkota, Spirit, Pilots, Oilers, etc. are either boring or lame. The kids want something hip, now, with it, and wow and Sasquatch fits that bill. The marketing aspect of this is through the roof. Wisconsin fans do the Jump Around thing we can do the Squatch walk…yes, hunched over with arms swinging a few steps to the right and then back to the left…Lower bowl one direction and upper bowl the opposite. Tree knockers instead of thunder sticks. T-shirts featuring our beloved mascot with his huge foot over our opponent…”Squatch the Gophers” or Bison or any of our rivals as the caption. Former Sioux kids club now the Little Feet. Similar to how the T-Wolves use the howl of the wolf we could use the primal scream of the Sasquatch during games. Perhaps we can get James “Bobo” Fay of the TV show Finding Big Foot to do the primal scream for us. “Gone Squatching” would be code for following the University Of North Dakota. Are you ready for the Yeti? 2 Quote

Are you ready for the Yeti? Wow you really thought this one through!!! ARE YOU READY FOR THE YETI??? I think I like it! I would maybe go a different route than "Fighting" Sasquatch though, it doesn't flow very well for me. Perhaps the Wild Sasquatch or Angry Sasquatch or maybe just Sasquatch (is there a plural form or is Sasquatch both singular and plural?)..... meh, whatever, not sure yet. I can't imagine a scenario in which Jack Links wouldn't line up to be a sponsor right away though!! lol Quote

The Sicatoka Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Uh ... I'm sure opposing fans would have a lot of fun with our womens teams ... PS - As soon as UND does this a colony of squatch ... squatches? squaters? squatchi? squish? ... will actually be found and will declare the moniker hostile and abusive. Quote
