BobIwabuchiFan Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 At least an NCHC member has a like mascot.... Quote
ChrisUND1 Posted April 30, 2018 Author Posted April 30, 2018 From UND's website: The idea for a live mascot rose out of discussions and community surveys from the UND Game Day Experience Committee, formed under the guidance of President Kennedy last summer to create a more vibrant sports environment for Fighting Hawks fans of all ages. North Dakota Athletics is moving to the Summit League this fall and is currently the only team in the league without a mascot. Quote
BobIwabuchiFan Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 I would totally be on board with this...and they might even let into the Hockey Games...He could run around the rafters yelling and screaming when the Sioux score! Sorry, Hawks score... Quote

BobIwabuchiFan Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 The familiarity of all 'Hawk' & 'Eagle' & 'Falcons' mascot designs reminds me of that episode on Cheers when Sam hires a guy to write a jingle for the bar and all he ever does is change the words, but keeps the same damn song...Frickin' hilarious! #SameOldHawkMascot 1 Quote
jdub27 Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 I'm confused why people are so surprised about a bird logo and/or mascot looking like a bird. 4 Quote

Because this new reality of UND being the Fighting HAWKS with a mascot is finally sinking in that the imaginary chance of being the Fighting Sioux or no nickname at all is fading faster and faster. 1 Quote

I guess I was wrong to expect something original versus copying every other bird costume related to a college or professional mascot, but that's just me I guess... 1 Quote

Sorry, Hawks score... Geez Bob, in the future please leave pictures of you on your way to your "Saturday night adventures" off the board. Some of us just finished lunch. And the "John Stockton" shorts ... wow, ... just ... wow. Quote

There it is... I figured some would actually have this mindset. Just ignorant and delusional. There is nothing about a mascot, a pathetic overpriced forced mascot, that comes close to bridging that gap. IN FACT i predict this will have the opposite effect for a bit longer now. You delusional few... VERY FEW..... just will never have the capacity to understand that.... but hey..... keep buying those magic hawks t-shirts At least we're adding jobs, or maybe workstudy options.... Actually maybe cut a pointless athletic scholorship and give that bird suit guy a full ride! Quote
