BobIwabuchiFan Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 At least an NCHC member has a like mascot.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisUND1 Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobIwabuchiFan Posted April 30, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdub27 Posted April 30, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negativity isn't going to get you anywhere, obviously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
