Yeah (someone in the higher ups is reading this forum), but since both teams are birds, its effect may have been limited.

I mentioned that too to my seat neighbor when the "hawk screech" was played.

Intro was better 

Way better.  If they would have the team wait and do the video of them exiting the locker room like Nebraska ;) it would make it legit.

I loved the Hawk screech.

I agree. I can see how the volume could be an issue for some, but the overall idea was novel and fun. I would keep it going! Anything to build tradition and enjoyment for the players and fans!

The screech was unexpected. I first noticed it at the start of the second half. I loved it!  Maybe a bit loud but when I was expecting it, it wasn't as jarring. But that whole Alerus sound system needs a reboot.  It was "muffle muffle muffle" through out... only Brian Rivers came through somewhat clear.

I thought it was absolutely terrible. At first I didn't even recognize that it was supposed to be a hawk noise and thought the sound guy jacked something up. And then it was like he(she) had only found that button in the second half and wanted to push it as many times as they could. It is cheesy and bad. I vote it goes.

I didn't mind it, my five year old and his two buddies thought it was hilarious so I am fine with it.  Anything to get the kids loving the games.  

I did love the Hawk on the big screen during field goal attempts.  Love to see more things like that. 

The entrance was legit   All that's needed now is a tweak in timing to have the camera out in front of the team to show Bubba leading the crew to the helmet. 

I give the Al and marketing staff a lot of credit, it's improving.

Anybody else hear the PA guy say Labatman after he got the INT

He also referred to Gordon as Santiago.  Not quite as bad as when he had Bartles returning kicks instead of Holm.  At least he had the position correct...

please, please, please!!!!!  please can we get this on the big video monitor and edit the video a bit to make it look like he's chanting "U  N  D"??!!!

Great call 77iceman!  You suggestion looked great at the game.  It wasn't chanting UND but it was hilarious!

Maybe after UND has been in the building for, oh I don't know, say 15 years, they will finally have it down.  :blink:

Seriously the intro and stuff was better this weekend than it was for the opener, so that is good.  

Just frustrating that the Alerus has struggled with this kind of stuff when it is done so well a few blocks away at REA,

Very true. The Alerus Center staff and marketing people at UND need to take a page from Bubba's playbook: take it day by day and keep on improving!

New sound system and more UND concourse stuff.

The UND Bookstore should try and rent a space at the Alerus. The clothing shop in the concourse now is a joke. I have more UND clothes in my spare closet.

Crazy. We win a few games and make a couple presentation changes and all of a sudden it's rainbows and sunshine. Love it! Fly on, Flagship!

How about more promotions and giveaways for the public instead of just the students. At the Potato Bowl we got t-shirts and a bag, homecoming it was Hawk gloves just for students. Why not Hawk gloves for everyone. There's more giveaways at a RedHawks baseball game than at a UND football game. I didn't even get a free yard sign after the potato bowl like I did the past two years.

Thundersticks!

Oh, please no. The students banging the seats (does that sound dirty?) is a great way for them to play a part in this and that's good enough.

No one said rainbows and sunshine but it is improved, wouldn't you say?
