Siouxtankhamun Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I came across the following tweet addressing Jess Myer's preview of our hockey team for The Athletic. https://twitter.com/harryorin/status/1046950862755651585 I didn't pick up on it when I initially casually read through the preview. However, as I reread it following the above tweet, "Hawks" is mentioned repeatedly, though Myers also uses "North Dakota". Is this a subtle troll or is this an overly sensitive tweet from someone who needs to accept the nickname and move on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course sports journalists are going to use the nickname. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When reading the article, it does seem he went out of his way to never say "UND." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for when it said Cam Johnson was a freshman when we won the title, which was incorrect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
