Cratter Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 The consensus seem to be these are the most popular options. I and others would like to know just how close it might be among the the top two choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hayduke Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 3-1... A public vote of the stakeholders would probably be the same. I'll bet Roughriders will hit the magical 36 soon...the number of outraged no nickname supporters that bothered to show up for the mass demonstration... Just sayin' 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxbow6 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I for one can only hope it comes down to these options as the final 2 to vote on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cratter Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 No Nickname probably won't make the final cut, but by the looks of it the majority of SS'ers won't mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxVolley Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Roughriders would be the favorite in any head to head matchup. My fear is that Fighting Hawks or Sundogs would win with 25 or 30% plurality among five or six finalists and they don't require a runoff election. The voting public is not nearly as informed as here. A lot of irrational fears about Roughriders seem to be out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Politics make strange bedfellows and this is another example of that. Totally agree with you there, fs4l. Once again, while the Roughrider and No Nickname/Fighting Sioux Forever forces continue to do battle with each other, Sundog supporters just sit in the bushes, waiting to strike. Once some TR quotes start being "exposed" by committee members and "trademark and licensing problems" start popping up with North Stars and Roughriders, we'll see a few more cuts and all of a sudden --BAM! -- Sundogs will find itself a finalist. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siouxperfan7 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Has anyone actually talked to someone who likes the name Sundogs? I mean, do these people actually exist? Seems to me they are about as common as abdominal snowmen!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me they are about as common as abdominal snowmen!! When reading these threads I usually find myself wanting to defend Sundogs. Even though it's not my first choice, I get tired of hearing the exaggerated abuse it takes here. Wouldn't be so bad if just one of you actually could explain specifically what is so bad about it. Instead we are stuck with general terms like "lame" or "terrible." Overcompensated bashing like this doesn't discredit Sundogs. It makes it appear as a real threat.

Outside of about 50 people in Clifford Hall, that is the Department of Atmospheric Sciences (i.e Meteorologists), it would be hard to find anyone to know what is a Sundog. It is an atmospheric phenomena that occurs in the wintertime. That is problem #1, which is exasperated by the Herald when in their crude logo use a dog... yes a dog to represent it. I swear some people are expecting a dog with a sun body suit on his head (I kid you not, that is what I heard last week). Same issue with Nodaks, how in the world do you represent it? Especially with the color scheme of Green and White? Don't get me wrong, I enjoy looking at one in the dead of winter. I just don't think it should represent a state flagship university. Sounds perfect for the new elementary school in GF however. Plus why would we support a name that our rivals openly support? I could go with the conspiracy theory route (what the anti-nickname crowd wants, Kelley has the fix in (although it is telling that Kelley's hand picked person on the committee voted Sundogs #1). But logic should rule the day 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me they are about as common as abdominal snowmen!! Sundogs seems popular among the psuedo-hippies, professorial, and rainbow flag types on Facebook, literally anyone who doesn't like athletics to begin with. They don't want a fierce nickname or anything that can be construed as potentially violent, so they go with Sundogs, rainbows, and lolly pops (sugar free of course, but without aspartame) etc. They will be voting.

obborg Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 this is one vote against the hipster doofus crowd... I understand. What you're making clear is that much of the ostensible hate for Sundogs is actually hate for its supporters. Modern politics at its finest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
