homer Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Most teams/coaches do a pretty good job putting descriptions for their needs on their team pages. Hoping the athletic dept. does a little more publicizing of this fundraiser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNF Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Can we please band together to stop the #WingsUp lingo? I have seen it used multiple times the past few days in different applications associated with the athletic department. Since "Horns Up" is an established phrase of one of our biggest rivals it seems like we can and should do better than copy their phrase.

That is the first thing that I thought of when I first heard it. It seems a little embarrassing for UND. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, "____ Up" is there right alongside "Roll ____" and "____ Nation" as phrases almost every school uses. They are about as unoriginal as it gets (unless you are Alabama and actually created it). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxFanatic Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I like to facetiously do "Talons Up" while holding up three fingers on each hand then do a downward motion. Swoop in there, hawks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swoop in there, hawks! "Spread 'Em" was my first thought as in "Spread Your Wings" but I fully understand why that would be considered unacceptable in all cases. In all seriousness, I don't want to derail the thread or the goal of the campaign but we already have an unoriginal name so copying every other school (including NDSU) with one of the first campaigns was a little disheartening to me.

When people say "roll tribe" they are copying Alabama's "roll tide". 6 hours ago, SiouxFanatic said: I like to facetiously do "Talons Up" while holding up three fingers on each hand then do a downward motion.

Goon Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I like Talons up... but I suppose we would be copying Texas Tech with guns up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
