1.  They said it will be on campus at games next fall.  Like I said in a previous post, I think they will reveal it at the Hopecoming football game after the students vote on a name.

2.  Head dresses?  ummm....huh?  Probably will be mascot merchandise to buy.  Looking forward to buting my F'n Hawks head cover!!

3.  It will be a student.  That is the norm around the country.  Most of the time the mascot gets a scholorship due to the number of games/events they go to.  Might actually be more than 1 mascot to accommodate multiple events and games.

4.  The mascot should be at as many UND sporting events as possible.  But expect the main ones (Football, M & W basketball, and yes.....HOCKEY!!!)

I assume we will see Mr. Hawk skating around the ice before games, between periods.  Will be pretty cool to see!

Heard on UND cloud, that the Bleacher Creature was showing up this coming fall to hand over the gavel to the Hawk.

Tommy Hawk. That's great, and a Bizon slayer at that. 

Until the NCAA decide they don’t like it because it’s to much like tomahawk,  and that would be hostile and abbusive to the Native Americans that were b*tching about the name in the first place

I'm personally hoping for PC the Gender Demi Queer Omni-sexual safe space woke hawk... I'm pretty sure that is the only thing that will satisfy the legions of snowflake students and professors that populate university campuses in larger numbers than normal society.

How bout Tommy Hawk to appease the Siouxforever faithful?!  I realize it is the Chicago Blackhawks mascot name, but hey we stole their logo back in the day as well as their goal song.  Why stop now!!

Not to be confused with Tony Hawk. Unless this bird can skateboard.

They'll probably hire an out of state search firm to find people to wear it.

Maybe I won't have to wait 10 years to get my 2 tomahawks as a secondary logo!  Then the white bird would be a true "fighting hawk"  armed with "t-hawks"

A communist vote, no choice to speak of. That's from the Russians by getting access from taking our internet classes.
