Confrence banners are nice, and cute but really there is ZERO chance these sports get a true Natty... Zero. Not even a possibility. Ever. Truth bomb ..... 131st place isn't a D1 natty, its an accomplishment, but its JV, its the Pembina B-squad tourney, it's the second tier.... It's Division II with a shiny new name, and an exponentially higher bill. Hydrogen truth bomb, more American care about FCS football than college hockey. A true D1 championship against a field jam packed with d2 and d3 schools? Sounds really legit now that you mention it. You should probably donate more so we can actually make the tournament this year and lose to legit powerhouse Minnesota - Duluth. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool yes FCS has more fan total viewership... awesome... im happy for them. That is an irrelevant fact. Means nothing. in the grand scheme of things it does not change either of... 1: There is never going to be a successful top tier of sport college football, basketball, volleyball, or any other team in Grand Forks. It. Is. Not. Going. To. Happen. let alone competing for a championship in that division. 2: There is not a higher tier non-professional tleague of hockey in the world than what we have in GF.

Be thankful for what we have. So let’s drop all programs and just have hockey. Hell let’s drop down and be a Michigan Tech, Minnesota Duluth or better yet, let’s be an Alaska-Anchorage and drop football. Put all athletic funds into hockey, bring back the Sioux name cause sanctions will be pointless as we won’t see playoffs in other sports, all in the name of DI hockey. Is that what you wish for with your bashing of UND athletics? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll say it again: There were a lot of things to gripe about in the process. Undoubtedly. But, now we're griping about strictly internal matters. We are NOT griping about how and when the NCAA will sanction UND or who'll be next to not schedule UND or what next event will be blown out of proportion and blamed on a logo. As a bonus, Leigh Jeanotte and his crew's soap box was removed. I may not find the new nickname or logo as inspiring as they could be, but I still smile a smile when I see it thinking about how it's better than all the NCAA/schedule/political/bad PR problems of the past. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goon Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 This was in today's Grand Forks Herald in the opinon page. I've never heard of Tom Ford but here is what he said. Quote I know prospective students are turned away from UND due to negativity surrounding the school, and that the logo is still a controversy - it has become exhausting to current students as well. We cannot allow such things to deter UND's growth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxbow6 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Can someone expound on the "negativity surrounding the school"? Must not be too negative......my daughter is going to attend as a freshman next fall. I'll hang up and listen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
