is this horns down or the hawk talons sign

i see WBB do this on huddle breaks 

With who we were playing, definitely "horns down".

I was listening this morning on  my commute.  I’m glad they threw this up.

I have read on several of the forum boards over the past several days where the NDSU fans are downplaying this loss.  Some saying UND just caught NDSU on a down year, others saying that it didn't matter who they lost to, as it was just an NDSU problem.  I don't think they are seeing the bigger picture.  UND had a very loud sold out Alerus with prospective recruits there.  They took the bison down in a way that hadn't been done in a very long time, beating them at their own game.  This wasn't just a bison loss, this was an absolute drubbing.  The recruits that were brought in for the game were also able to visit one of the most beautiful campuses in the Midwest and see all of the changes to make it even better. 

I'm sure winning the Ice Breaker tournament against Army and Wisconsin didn't hurt either.

NDSU has had a falling enrollment for nine consecutive years, internal issues with women in leadership and now a huge loss to North Dakota. 

UNI up next.  Keep it rolling UND!!

This. We need to roll from here. The timing is excellent with Memorial Village coming online soon with PACA shortly thereafter. The stage is literally set and we have the righty people at president and AD finally to support every program the way they deserve.

Likely ... Pollard Athletic Center Annex? But that's a guess.

alerus needs a nickname......this game needs a trophy

Just call me Al; we have The Al, The Ralph, The Betty, and The Fritz...

Had a fun weekend with friends from both schools. Did not enjoy how the game went at all.  Will make future games more fun though.

lame......

the swamp

the big house

death valley

bounce house

the rock

the shoe

problem with "the al" is that it is based on the corporate name that could change from alerus center to FCC Union Stadium in the future.

In fairness, the Bison fans I tend to listen to or follow are giving a very real and stark assessment.

They're questioning DL and LB recruiting (in the Entz era). They're questioning tacking ability*. And they are questioning team speed. That's the defensive side, and let's be honest, all those hits still apply to UND.

Offensively they're not in love with the scheme (shotgun, not under center, to run true power) or playcalling. 
 

*Bison radio color Phil Hanson was losing his mind over this on air even late last season.

No idea, but it was glorious, whatever it was.

Doubtful. He has a special needs daughter, referees HS sports, owns lots of valuable farm land. He took a run at the state senate and feels strongly about a number of political issues.

Phil isn’t egotistical. He doesn’t need to feed his ego. Nice guy. Family man. Community minded.

haha...refs HS sports? really?  biggest ref in the history of HS reffing????

[The Sicatoka]

Phil lives near DL; I suspect @iramurphy knows him far better than any of us. 

[SIOUXFAN97]

as for the what should be the trophy for the winner should be......another great idea from me to you

a 75 pound bitcoin

deemed the "Bitcoin Bowl" brought to you by kevin o'leary and Bitzero and the game winner's school get one bitcoin tranferred into their endowment at the current price of a bitcoin on gameday by btc mined in north dakota.

I know it was meant in a derogatory way when it was first coined years ago,  but I like the Tin Shed or just "The Shed".

[The Sicatoka]

Friendly reminder for those with Midco cable: Midco Sports, 7 pm tonight, replay. 

I wonder if Fighting Hawks Radio Network has the radio call as a podcast somewhere ... anyone know ... @the green team? I have a drive later this week.

I love the delicate rumble of those bison tears as they endlessly cascade over the metal roof of our tin shed.

[The Sicatoka]

Hmmm ... tin shed ... tin roof ... rusted ... the love shack ...
