So, I contacted the Ralph. Here is what they said concerning the floor at the Betty; ________________________________________________________ The design of the Betty Engelstad Sioux Center floor has not been finalized yet. This project is scheduled to take place next summer. So for this season (volleyball and basketball) it will look the same as it did last year. Have a good day. Garth Wiedrich Marketing Manager Ralph Engelstad Arena One Ralph Engelstad Arena Drive Grand Forks, ND 58203 (P) 701.777.0833 www.theralph.com _______________________________________________________ So it looks like they will wait until next summer to repaint the floor with potentially the Fighting Hawks logo and new script. Most likely will have a Summit League logo as well. Or will it simply say North Dakota Volleyball with only the logo of the Summit League.

Oxbow6 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 According to some here and darrel1976 one's fandom as it relates to UND athletics is strictly predicated on the fact that one has puckered up to the new logo and is thrilled UND is leaving the Big Sky for the Summit/MVC...........did I miss anything? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the lesson here is to focus on the things you can control and stop dwelling on things that you cannot. The UND Fighting Hawks and their logo are taking the field/ice/court no matter what, and vilifying someone for wanting a unified fan base is hardly productive. The fact that there are a few petulant enablers in positions of power (looking at you, REA) changes nothing. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not dividing anything, he's not saying fans of the Fighting hawks logo please go be somewhere else, he's just stating his opinion, like most of us fans do on this board!

It doesn't make sense (or cents) to update the logo this year and then have to go back and update the conference affiliation next year.

That's a better explanation than being that clueless on some of the things he's written. Wait a year on the locker room? Yeah, seems like a brilliant idea with a Title IX complaint filed. And not sure why the pictures matter, the public doesn't see them. He really glossed over the new display being put up in the main concourse while he was accusing them of whitewashing WIH from the arena. Guessing he didn't bother contacting anyone from the REA or athletic department that could have set him straight or answered his asinine assumptions. He's got a future in click bait journalism ahead of him. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
