If Sioux = bad. Opposite of Sioux = good. Only makes sense.

They are using the scoring system next round. Try and keep up.

Thankfully your time here is about done. Time to actually let fans of UND pick the nickname.

Its clear they are making stuff up as they go to see fit. Rough Riders didn't make the cut because its hard to trademark vs Roughriders.

So in 12 years NDSU will have lost close to $100 million? (At current rate) NDSU wants who to pay for that?

Should I not park my car close to a crossing guard when a train is directly in front of me?

Has it really come down to this. We are deciding if we like bad or worse better? Last night I had to slap myself after justifying "The Force" as not a "bad name".

Wonder why the Herald keeps making a special point to keep mentioning Roughriders.... If the committee loved Force so much, it shouldn't matter if a "local team" already uses the name.

Sorry GeauxSioux, "Arrows" are considered "Native American Imagery."

My guess for the 3 (or 4) finalists. Green Hawks (See the Herald article from a few months ago) Flickertails Stars (or Force)

As in "Pure Platinum" or "The Platinum Fox" in Columbus, Ohio? I believe a few SSers (Cough Mafia Couch) made it.

Poor Train Driving Skills or Antiqued Infrastructure? Or conspiracy to build a pipeline? http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/region/3738800-740-pm-update-city-evacuated-after-train-derails-catches-fire-near-heimdal-nd

The Fighting Sioux is Legendary. So lets go with Legends.

Like I've said before. No need to worry UND will get video boards soon. Probably a year or two after the NDSUs "SHAC" opens.

My mistake (Its been so long since it came out.) Isn't that even "better news" for the keep the name crowd?

Seasons ovah.

One can get a jump start on what the marketing firm thinks might be the new nickname.

Looks like your guess was wrong. If that was a guess. Und owns flickertails.com

"O'Keefe also said he has been told some people, including at least one committee member, have purchased domain names with the intent of donating it to the university should that name be chosen."

Be interesting to see what domains are currently owned by UND. Didnt I read sundogs is registered from Twamley? FOIA request?

Exactly what I have been thinking. They must think our IQs are pretty low.

UND can keep the Fighting Sioux name and logo. The NCAA never told them they had to get rid of it. They just said UND wouldnt be able to compete in the post season.

I picture a name on a board with a panel of judges holding up score cards 1-10.

So how long will it take to "score" a 1,000 names?

I'm sure "other" is a lot of "no nickname." If so then its not either.
