Re: UND signing another QB

His entire statement is as follows:

"I was hoping for something better, but as long as I have an opportunity and a scholarship, that's all I need. With almost the entire offense coming back, I think we'll do some sweet things."

Re: Nickname transition now appearing

I can understand changing the logo on the ice as that is all you see when watching on television. The remainder is part of a total venue art form. I certainly hope the NCAA takes the entire embodiment into consideration. Good luck to you.

Remarkable architecture, planning, layout and those logos are magnificent and are so respectfully placed. What the NCAA is doing here borders on unconsciona...
