Siouxperfan7 Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 So is the new Fighting Hawks logo going to be on the 2016 NCHC Championship banner? Should it be? Will fans boo a National Championship banner being raised to the rafters with the Fighting Hawks logo on it? Quote

Will fans boo a National Championship banner being raised to the rafters with the Fighting Hawks logo on it? Great question. If I were a betting man, I would say no, since the '16 conference banner will pair up nicely with the '15 conference banner, and nobody will yet have had a real opportunity to digest the new logo/graphic identity. And 'consistency' would be a convenient out if the Hawks logo is not warmly received ("they didn't play under that logo, so the interlocking ND it is"). They could, however, follow the Sioux/REA model eventually, and retroactively apply a future Hawks logo to previous banners. Intentionally silent on NC talk. Quote

The Sicatoka Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 What exactly is the point of this guy's "political" cartoon from Sun Mar 6? http://www.inforum.com/opinion/cartoons/3979872-steve-stark-cartoon-030616 Did he miss the memo and that the selection process is over? Or ... is he doing what all the local media seems to be doing (looking at you Ms. A. Burleson) and finding stories to keep trying re-open what is a closed matter. 1 Quote

Cartoon is dated 2015, so I think the editors are to blame on this one. That said, guy is a hack. Quote

You're right. That cartoon is dated 2015. At that point in time it was legitimate. So what we have instead of a "what the" cartoon is more "what the" editorial work at the Fargo Forum. Quote

The Sicatoka Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 To everyone that claimed the old nickname meant "snake" (which even the most rudimentary search of etymology will show is false) here's my thought about where your efforts will ultimately put you and where you'll end up. Quote

The Sicatoka Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 The media hacks and fish-wrapper producers are doing their darnest to keep this resolved and closed issue alive as a "controversy" so they can continued to claim to be "enlightened" in comparison to the great unwashed here in fly-over land ... and to keep selling mouse clicks and fish-wrappers. They create the alleged controversy; we deal with it to their claimed desired outcome; they can't accept that so they keep rehashing it. And they wonder why respect of the media and the press by the American public has fallen markedly over time. 1 Quote

Oh yea, the STUDENTS are gone... I actually thought the "Sioux" stuff was just as much or more noticeable tonight than normal. Guess I didn't notice a change in the reaction to Hawks mentions but you could be right. Quote
dagies Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 Big Let's Go Sioux chant right at the end of the game. I only saw the last 2 minutes so no idea how the rest of the game went. Quote

The Sioux chants have not died and probably won't for years. But your buddy said many times the booing after fighting hawks is the whole building and I have told him several times it's only the students. Tonight pretty much proved that to be true. Soooooo, ya.... 1 Quote

dagies Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 I wasn't arguing with you. Only making the observation Quote
