It doesn't bother me. I was never a Fighting Hawk as a student but every student on campus is. The football team has embraced the name let them enjoy their time as a hawk. What value is there to make the current players have to choose a side?  

I agree to an extent.  I don't like the new name or logo, but what I HATE is the split in our fan base.  Legitimately pisses me off.  I've moved on and think others need to as well, and I go out of my way to support our current name/logo when it comes to referencing our teams or buying apparel, etc.  Either way though tacky is tacky.  I think it's ok to have a negative opinion about a statue without disrespecting current student athletes.

The name and now the Statue is HundyP group think.  This should be a Case Study in the business school of what not to do..  Salty Mike should be call Steggie Mike with those stegosaurus arms.

I am just saying  things that are not secure have a way of going missing for awhile or being slightly altered.

The Nickel

Pi Kappa Alpha firetrucks

The Indian Statue at the Big Sioux...couple times, actually ended up in the back of a Pike firetruck once if I recall and might have spent a few months in the basement of a fraternity house

Sigma Nu Owl

Ronald McDonald from playground in Fargo

The Bison outside the BSA with Blue Balls....several times

The Beaver from the Angry Beaver Lodge in Oakes

But I am sure nothing will happen to Mike the Hawk

The arms and wings creeps me out.  Is it a statue of a person dressed as or mascot or a statue of our mascot?

I agree on the arms, and for me the hands also.  Shouldn't have made it 2/3 Hawk 1/3 Man then I think it would be ok.  Either way I'm not going to get too worked up about it.

That should be no problem with Stego arms..  The football strength coach has some arms on Mike this year.

Woof, that statue makes me want to take a drink.  Coors latte it is....

At least Salty Mike isn't holding a "play us in hockey" sign.

Well it looks like it will be permanent…. I think this “animal” would make a great video game character….just saying!

[SiouxFan100]

There will be lots of kids taking pictures beside this creature. One thing for it.

[Wilbur]

It would be a shame if NDSU students stole Mike......

A shame....

[WiSioux]

Also I feel like every picture I see he looks slightly more red... what color is this hawk anyway?
