That's why I was asking the question. Aren't they (or use to be) called National (Natty) Junior Championships?

Never said anything about Eades being head coach at UND. Youre good at reading into things. Just showing how much the guy seems to know how to win. He has been on a lot of winning teams. Never mentioned Hakstol, but since you did. He has zero championships evah. 5>0.

How many natty's he got under his belt now....5? Two as a player and one as a head coach and one as an assistant coach at UND and Head coach of the Fighting Saints of the USHL? When Eades went to Sioux Falls they were last of all of USHL.

No word on a new assistant coach? Is it posted at UND yet? Same open record laws to see who has applied?

Some info on how much Amtrack loses in these parts: http://www.inforum.com/news/3754565-see-why-amtraks-losses-mount-hop-empire-builder-train

The shooters mom: "My son didn’t pull up at Wal-Mart and shoot people. No way. Sorry,” Ross said. “I don’t believe it. It doesn’t make sense. There has to be something to it, someone else involved.”

The committee was hired to pick a new nickname for UND (Also the title of this thread). So that's what they'll do. They aren't going to go through all this to not pick a name. Some people just gotta get over it.

Do you not follow sports? You're asking us to tell you why rivalries are a big part of sports.

Or Berry could win back to back to back to back Natty's.

Don't go counting your chickens yet. He could get fired in two years called the worst flyers coach in history, and go coach the Fargo Force like blais after his NHL stint.

...and Roughriders winning again!

Will Brad Berry peak in his first year like Hakstol? Simple question.

How's the saying go: when you try to please everyone you please no one.

"He bought a ranch in the Dakota badlands." http://www.pbs.org/nationalparks/people/historical/roosevelt/ Here I go again using Facts to discredit what you wrote. Do you have a problem with a National Park being named after him in North Dakota or just if it was named after the group of men he led, the Roughriders.

Doesn't change the fact that Roughriders and North Dakota are tied together. Doesn't change fact that the leader of the Roughriders was a North Dakota resident.

When you play in the Slummit its easy to be winners.

You need to learn to deal with the fact that the former President of the United States and a leader of the Roughriders lived in North Dakota for a while and spoke highly of his time here. Go Blame Roosevelt for your dislike of North Dakota's states nickname. Such a tragedy North Dakota wanted to honor him in some way.

Only thing UND would be "copying" is the state nickname. Which lots of universities do.

Again, (besides "other") the majority of UNDs biggest fans (this site) like\prefer Roughriders. Welcome to the Roughrider State.

Never understood why this is so hard for some people to understand.

And Flame = UND would be known as the Flamers to NDSU and U of MN people.

I only think of one thing with "Pride": and that's gay pride ("Pride Week" at UND would be quite confusing))...and I'm pretty sure that portion of people in society will only be getting a "stronger voice." I guess in hindsight our logo would be quite popular around the country....

So if the no nickname crowd was forced to pick a nickname would Nodaks be the winner?

....Sundogs or Force could decrease merchandise revenue.
