went roughriders the first time and stuck with it, although i wouldnt be upset if nodaks won.
-
sure hope you're right about this being temporary, Petey. I could learn to like Roughriders or Nodaks but I think they left a lot of potentially good nicknames on the cutting room floor
-
I bet there are tons of racist and trophy hunting Nodaks.

Calling the Bluff - Nickname and Donations
UNDhoops replied to NoiseInsideMyHead's topic in UND Nickname
I don't think I'd buy much of any Hawks stuff unless the logo is fantastic. Either of the other two I'd make sure to buy some stuff though -
yes i get that. The quote from the hockey writers was that the plan was to go to BC for a year to get stronger and then go to the AHL or NHL, and I was responding to your own quote about him thinking he was on the fast track to the NHL
-
You'd think he would want to get stronger since that is one of the major knocks against him. 0 points against anyone other than a terrible CC team doesn't really scream that he's ready to play against professionals
-
Holy Are We Krazy Stupid if that's the reason someone votes for hawks
-
now that there is an extra vote i agree it is much less likely fighting hawks will be the case (of course, i didnt think so many people would support it the first time). i imagine most people who vote roughriders or nodaks will vote the other in the final vote (unless by some miracle it's those two in the final vote obviously)
-
I imagine I would feel the same in your position. My fear is this is going to drag on longer because of all the twists and turns this process has taken and deviating from the original script as much as it has. My hope would be that in a few years that would be lessened and thus the feelings hurt afterwards would be lessened, but that might be a pipe dream
-
as long as we are bringing that up again, i agree with you for the most part but i think we should have been just north dakota for 5ish or so more years. At some point I think a new nickname would have gradually picked up some momentum rather than being this forced
-
this thread is a good illustration of why we are getting fighting hawks
-
found something worse than a generic bird logo
-
someone accountable for his actions might actually follow the agreed upon process.
-
i still dont get why an outgoing president is in charge of this
-
they dont exist anymore
-
i do wonder how long any of them will last anyway
-
sounds like a great way to ensure we are the fighting hawks
-
this is why i'm sure there won't be another vote after this one
-
this is maybe the worst analysis i've ever read of anything other than the bit about the hawks logo which is probably 100% why most people wanted it
-
someone can (and should) check my math, but according to wikipedia 43 D1 schools have switched from native american nicknames. 18 of those went to birds. 12 of those went to some form of hawks.
-
we should show kelley the door and start the process over. this was bound to go poorly the minute the committee was announced
-
that would be even more effective than herald I think. If anyone actually reads the DS
-
I'm saying whomever from und gave that quote is wrong
-
that is a ridiculous argument
