Vote on your final 5 nickname choices (just ND is out)
Cratter replied to jimdahl's topic in UND Nickname
Fighting Hawks. Cause it has the word Fighting. Cause its better than Sundogs. Cause it has safety in numbers (8th most popular nickname among NCAA). Cause its unique to North Dakota. Cause it'll make us have a sense of pride. Cause it'll instill fear in the opposition. Cause it can peck a Bison to death. Cause Eagles are overrated. Hear me roar. -

I guess they were right. Most just "North Dakota" fans did indeed want that so they could be the de facto Sioux Forever. Now they're struggling to grasp reality. -

Easily trademarked. Oh look I did more than the committee. I solved an "issue." -

Sundogs is just a decoy to make Fighting Hawks look like Sioux 2.0. -

It still baffles me how Roughriders can easily be the favorite among people on this site, at the Herald, and the people of Grand Forks, but ranks below Sundogs with this committee... -
Amen. Fighting Hawks doesn't rank very high on their own list.

She recommended it. Others didn't. So "see what the public think" will not be happening. -

That's old news. It's not an option. -
They thought about it and still decided no nickname option is still off the list. Moving on...

They discussed it. And no nickname is still off the list. One of these five will be UND new nickname. And correction. No nickname isn't a fan favorite. -
I'd be in favor of eliminating that for my favorite team. I don't like sharing.

The 12 most used names of four-year college teams: Eagles (76), Tigers (46), Bulldogs (39), Panthers (33), Knights (32), Lions (32), Bears (30), Hawks (28) , Cougars (27), Pioneers (28), Warriors (27) and Wildcats (27).

Hawks is just So unoriginal though. In today's ncaa hockey game it's the UND Fighting Hawks VS the UML River Hawks. I can only get so proud of a name knowing it's the same one as tons of other universities in this country.

Maybe they are smarter than we give them credit for. Throw in a crop name... And the so so names remaining will look like world beaters.
-
I'm guessing it looks like the tradition will continue... Looks like Fighting Hawks it is.
-
Little odd isn't it. Fighting Hawks Nodaks Sundogs In what world...

When the going gets tough... The committee says we're done. Here you take over now. Time for the Final Five vote. And the joys of no more discussion of "no nickname."

So now one man has all the power?!

....they'll just get a new flag.

I'm get the impression Roughriders is also the current leader at the Herald.
-
Too controversial. Clear water cycle.

I also expect NDSU to win by 10+ points (that's double digits for the easy folk).

That's where I went to school ten years later. Somethings never change.

If I were to guess it was a "threat/hoax." In High School we had to go to the gym once or twice as someone called in a bomb threat (good thing the "bomb" wasn't in the gym).
