    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.
  3. Cratter
    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.
  5. Cratter
    Again, (besides "other") the majority of UNDs biggest fans (this site) like\prefer Roughriders. Welcome to the Roughrider State.
  6. Cratter
    Never understood why this is so hard for some people to understand.
  7. Cratter
    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?
  10. Cratter
    ....Sundogs or Force could decrease merchandise revenue.

    It'll be interesting. Hak set the bar pretty high (besides Natty's).
  12. Cratter
    Short term vs long term success.

    Is this Brad Berrys first head coach job?
  14. Cratter
    So did some players just wake up and realize they lost and replaced their head coach while they were sleeping.
  15. Cratter
    Well that was fast...unfortunately. Good luck Brad Berry. Bring Back Hakstol.
  16. Cratter
    Here's to hoping Faison doesn't take the quick easy way out. Will Hakstol tell UND they should hire Berry thus ensuing he gets the job?

    You don't want 3 x 3. You don't want shootouts. Most people don't want ties. Sounds like a no win. 3x3 is a way to go to less shootouts. And with less people on the ice probably reduces injury's. Its just a way to better determine a conference winner. Doesn't affect national rankings...so learn to live love and adapt.

    The 50s are over. Passenger trains probably won't even exist much longer.

    Why do some players leave early while others stay and help build UNDs hockey program to greater heights. And try to finish "unfinished business." Is it always mostly about money?
  20. Cratter
    Sic's on a roll today.
  21. Cratter
    Those were indeed votes. Most of the members liked Force so far (by a far majority) as most gave it a thumbs up (a vote). Its not meaningless. If zero people voted for a name its no longer in consideration (as should be). But yes a single suggestion could end up being the chosen one in the end. But as you see the final three are going to a "public vote" which the herald poll is. It gives a pretty good indicator or what the general public right now is thinking. Still anyones ballgame, but its fun to speculate. *I should have clarified. That graph from from the herald websites poll and is nothing official from UND.
  22. Cratter
    Whens does the committee resume?
  23. Cratter
    Blackhawks 22.78% (557 votes) Force of the North 18.2% (445 votes) Cavalry 12.68% (310 votes) Flickertails 11.62% (284 votes) "The Force" had six committee members give a thumbs up to the nickname. Second place, Big Green and Flame, only got 4. Average these two things and Force is UND's new nickname. (I realize they have only went through less than half the list). The University did a great job of marketing.

    Whos got the skills to turn the Sioux logo into a "Blackhawk"?
  25. Cratter
    My problem with Minnesota's "logo" is they don't seem to have one for the teams nickname: Golden Gophers. Instead they have a drawings of a cartoon character/mascot in a bunch of different poses: holding a hockey stick, holding a football, leaning on a "M." Personally I like one consistent logo. Preferablely one that doesn't look like anything from Saturday morning cartoons.
