This is the thread that never ends, it goes on and on my friends...

All this reads as: "Who's gonna get the last word in?"...

Most people on this site would rather have Roughriders than no nickname. Wouldnt be surprised if that held true for everyone.

No Nickname probably won't make the final cut, but by the looks of it the majority of SS'ers won't mind.

,.......... Obvi.

Mind....BLOWN!

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.

It's more pc than throwing a hawk on the ice.

1) A small sample size of UNDs most dedicated fans. 2) That two headed girl down the block is also "unique." 3) People have learned to accept just North Dakota over Sioux these past four years but no way can they learn to accept a new nickname? 4) Makes no sense to have a no nickname logo. 5) I hereby organically name UNDs sports teams after the guy riding the horse outside Engelstad Arena: the RoughRiders.

That's why just use the technical definition of Roughriders. Doesn't have to be about the guy that's on Mount Rushmore or the National Park in North Dakota is named after.

I ran some numbers: .05% of Grand Forks showed up for the Rally. About the same number that was playing bingo with my grandma in the Grand Cities Mall.

We get our info from the same place then: other Bison fans.

Last I heard they had to cut out the suites and reuse some of the old wooden bleachers. You'd think all the money they'd save not having many women on scholarships...

At the time it was. Largest lump sum.

Just gonna ask that same question.

Time for a new nickname.

Ya all need better hobbies.

"The decision also tells us that the process was never really about finding out what the public wanted." It never was about what the public wanted. The public wants Fighting Sioux or nothing at all. They do their job to find a new nickname. Anything else and they would have failed.

Ironic. They hashtaged #GoGreen.

Surprised so many people are just now realizing the committee to pick a new nickname is actually going to pick a new nickname. Lol

It's easier to be against something than for something.

First we steal their best hockey players. Then we steal their states nickname.

RoughRiders: Still has more votes than all other nicknames combined. ROLL RIDERS

That's doesn't appear to be Tom Miller.

Might want to tell the Herald as the headline states: " Committee forwards 5 nicknames for public vote" Combining this and the Herald polls. RoughRiders is the clear winner as its #1 is both polls. But this one has Hawks in second while the Herald has North Stars.
