Blame Canada, ya hoser. thats a really weird thing to be upset about. Im guessing you are great at parties. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blame Canada, ya hoser. Did you read his post? He said "congratulations to the amazing Pollard family on this long-overdue recognition." The recognition of Fritz Pollard at UND in this type of capacity is long overdue. Not the renaming of the HPC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stockdamhockey Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Why is it "long overdue?" Name another campus building named in honor of a student athlete. Well, I'm waiting... Ralph doesn't count. To say it's long overdue, there must be precedent. A history of naming athletic buildings after athletic alumni. It's a fitting and great honor, but hardly "overdue " given this naming is the first of its kind. I guess "don't question the motives of Hockey God Hadju." He has always been and will continue to be a smug, holier than thou jackass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a nice story and could sway a recruit or two each year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stockdamhockey Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Oh I think it's great. Primary tenants are football and T&F. The right thing for many reasons. Just don't understand the "long-overdue" comment from Hadju. Other than , since his UND departure, he's been quite critical of UND administration. Leaving was his decision, but acts like he has an ax to grind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Hadju still suspect. That's a hill I'm willing to die on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based off how he phrased it in his tweet, I think he just meant that with all the things that Fritz Pollard Jr did throughout his stellar career, it was "long overdue" to give Fritz Pollard Jr recognition for everything he did. Hajdu was kind of a nerd when it came to UND's athletics history when he was here, not just hockey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they're honored for both -- philanthropy and atheltics. Who cares? It's a good news story whether Hajdu thinks so or not.

And long overdue in either case.... as long as Hajdu's not the one saying it, right? No dog in this fight, but William Hyslop was a generous contributor to the University of North Dakota giving thousands of acres of land in Canada and the Red River Valley, stock, and millions in cash. It looks like the naming could have been tied to an addition that was completed to the structure. Hyslop was a generous contributor to the University of North Dakota. In January 1980, he gifted to the University over 4,100 acres of land in the Red River Valley appraised at $5.2 million. Previous gifts included over $153,000 in corporate stock, as well as 2,000 acres of land in the United States and Canada. Hyslop died on May 30, 1981 in Racine, Wisconsin. Upon his death, the University was the beneficiary of an additional $2 million dollars. The UND Fieldhouse and its impending addition were named in Hyslop's honor on July 17, 1981. I think the "lack"/"no"/"overdue" recognition is a bit over hyped. Mr. Pollard was in initial class for induction into the UND Hall of Fame. FYI - I also found Hajdu kind of annoying. But, I have not though about him much since he has moved on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And long overdue in either case.... as long as Hajdu's not the one saying it, right? It does make a difference. And its not a "strange" addendum. Whether or not a person is being honored as a benefactor or for athletic accomplishment matters very much in Hadju's contention that the honor was "long overdue." As pointed out, Pollard was in the very first Athletic Hall of Fame Class. Hadju simply wants readers of his tweets to see how "woke" he is by implying the University somehow overlooked Pollard. Except in this case as usual, Hadju is FOS. You left out the part about Hylsop being a benefactor. (another poster pointed it out) He wasn't honored with the naming of the arena for his baseball prowess. Just like Ralph wasn't given the honor of Ralph Engelstad Arena's name for his goal tending. Both were benefactors. Convenient omission if you're trying to paint my comments in a particular direction. My comments were not on the appropriateness of the Pollard honor. I believe it is appropriate. My point is and has always been about the LONG OVERDUE comment by Hadju. The naming of the HPC for a student-athlete is unprecedented. No other building (athletic or otherwise) has been named in honor of a student-athlete based in whole or part upon their athletic achievement. (Mr. Pollard is a historic UND figure as well) Therefore, it is not overdue. Nobody else has had this honor. Fritz Pollard, Jr. was not overlooked in favor of other student-athletes. The "long overdue" comment is simply Hadju being Hadju. Picking nits. Okay, maybe. But I have seen similar tripe from Hadju aimed at the University ever since he left. I hope he didn't let the door hit him in the ass on his way out. Maybe you miss him being in the employee lounge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIOUXFAN97 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I would have voted for Steve Myhra High Performance Center. met him at a game in the late 80's at memorial...humble nice guy...said something along the line of how fun it is watching football and talking football with the youngsters.

Maybe a big presser before NDSU game? Just seems odd that UND hasnt really had an "announcement" or presser dedicated to the Memorial Stadium building... hopefully they were waiting on something in regard to phase 2 so they can announce at same time? One can always dream. Memorial Stadium wake doesnt count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siouxperfan7 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 So I am guessing this has been posted here already, But I guess I had not seen this huge master plan with a layout of Phase 2 with the coaching offices, locker room, weight room, etc.(pg 15-16 on the attachment). Pretty sweet!! https://campus.und.edu/facilities-management/_files/docs/und-athletics-masterplan-0823.pdf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
