  1. If all they can come up with is its on urban dictionary and the name of a high school...they are splitting hairs.
  2. We are in for some serious trouble!
  3. So you're saying they are getting another thing wrong.
  4. "What is popular is not always right. Have courage." Lowell about not picking a nickname.
  5. So are they not ranking them yet with their point system? Is anything gonna come out of this meeting. Or just the negatives of every name copying siouxsports.
  6. These consultants need to take a hike!
  7. Eric needs to come to gf for tailgating.
  8. Here's my latest project that's going on the front of my mobile tailgating bar that I wood burned. I also wood burned the sioux logo on the top of the barstools that looks pretty sweet.
  9. This thread goes round and round as much as the Fire Hak threads.
  10. There will be riots in the streets if they don't.
  11. The majority want a new nickname. The votes are divided up between 14 names. No nickname is only one vote. The polls show most people want a new nickname. They just differ what that name should be.
  12. Thanks makes two of us... It's the offseason. I'd use passive aggressive. Blizzard and ice is basically equal or worse than sundogs, thunderhawks, force.
  13. Glad your not on the committee.
  14. Like how the intangibles (Pride, Spirit, Force) don't even meet the committees own criteria: The committee decided the school's name needs to be unique, promote pride and fierceness, embody the state and region and unify people. Except for being unique. And there's a reason they are unique... NO ONE WANTS THEM!
  15. Didn't they leave it off the original list "by accident" saying something of the opposite like hard to trademark?
  16. Quote: "North Stars," one she did move forward, was chosen because it had been submitted multiple times with accompanying comments Friesz saw as passionate. "A beacon of stability and consistency; symbol of the north and of success," one anonymous submitter wrote. "It's a prominent point that guides people toward their goals," wrote another.
  17. And he's the chairman. So what he says had a lot of weight. ""I kind of like the 'Spirit,' as kind of the spirit of North Dakota," Committee Chairman and UND alumnus Karl Goehring said. "It just sticks out a little bit to me." Herald articles have people stating they like intangibles, north stars, and schweigert liking hawks. Oddly silent on the peoples choice of Roughriders.
  18. Roughriders is gender neutral.
  19. I don't wanna go through this whole process for "nothing."
  20. What does it really matter if Red River is the Roughriders? Don't wanna be a copycat? Google all the names. 90% are already in use by another team somewhere. Id rather have a duplicate than Spirits. Few Herald readers will get confused with the headlines: "Roughriders fall to Fargo North in boys basketball"? Someone needs to go through the list and list all the names and what schools use them. (Hard for me on a cell phone).
  21. Herald articles states he likes Spirit.
  22. Getting nervous no one on the committee has said their favorites are everyone else's favorites. Cavalry, Roughriders, Explorers.
  23. I'm in the no nickname is better than spirit or sundogs camp.
  24. So let's just have the debate in one.
