From what I understand, it was Morton but the borders changed and some of it is now in Billings County, North Dakota.
Which partly houses TR National Park.
Dress up like cowboys\settlers\military
Or a sun and rainbow.
I can connect with a Roughrider a lot easier than I can a hawk.
There is so much more marketing ($) opportunities with Roughriders than any other name.
And I for one think it might not be a bad idea to have more than one logo.
The fix is in.
I hadn't read them. Until you wrote this. Those letters are pretty laughable.
All one letter said was because UND is in sUNDogs.
All one letter said from someone in warren Minnesota is it would help UND "connect" with the Big Sky conferences image.
Not sure that makes any sense.
Another Letter stated Google sundogs.
I did and it took me to Urban Dictionary. (UD of roughriders is way more flattering).
And he stated "Fans can play summoners of Sundogs by wearing blue (color of the sky) and/or bringing crystals to games."
A big WHAT? I think they were smoking some good stuff.
Also proposed we can name the rainbow colors of the Sundog. And also have a husky as a mascot.
He did more harm than good with that letter.
Lots of stuff that doesn't even get reported, just last week I was hanging out in my garage and the guy on the radio goes "FYI road behind home depot is closed due to a suspect yeilding a gun in a domestic."
"OK road is open now."
Also, I know a manufacturing plant in gf that when hired didn't do drug tests....fast forward a few years and the insurance company comes in and says you can lower your rates if you do random (monthly?) drug tests. Which they have since implimented.
Come work at Trail King: You won't lose an arm and your checks will actually turn into cash!
I thought that was the selling points of the 60s?
Ps..."We have heat and air conditioning!" Lol
Us millennials are doing just fine thank you.
We dont care to be modern day slaves to keep up with the Joneses like past generations.
We'd rather live in a tiny house earning less with more free time (the most important thing any of us have) than accumulating debt that forces us to keep 9-5 jobs the rest of our lives.
Knowing that one spends more time with coworkers than they do family members, we look for more than just "good pay."
Look around: There's someone else competiting to hire us just a click away.
Don't disagree.
But the point was more competition and a shifting demographic and rise of the fast casual restaurants.
Smashburger, qdoba, Five Guys. Etc
One of my favorite song lyrics:
I am the hawk, and there's blood on my feathers.
But time is still turning, they soon will be dry.
And all those who see me, and all who believe in me
share in the freedom I feel when I fly.
