Something like this?

Arrows Explorers.

The update on the High Performance Center begins at about 10:30. What struck me is how small the concrete trucks look inside of the facility at the 11:27 mark. Man this place is big.

Never mind, Nodaks.com is registered to someone at 4200 James Ray Dr. Nothing to see here. Wait a minute, isn't that the address for the Center for Innovation?

I forgot to mention my other reason for thinking that Nodaks would be the new nickname. I did a a domain search this morning and someone bought nodaks.com on 13 March 2015. Could it be someone on the inside protecting a potential nickname site?

We are approaching the end of the road on this issue and I thought it would be interesting to see what people thought the nickname would be. Not what you want it to be, but what you think will be a consensus type pick. I am thinking that Nodaks will be the name that shakes out of all of this. Why? There is no overwhelming other choice. They are already have Nodak Nation in place. It is unique.

Rob Port is going to have a field day with this... http://www.ndus.edu/uploads/resources/5544/sbhe-budget-and-finance-committee--3.13.15-agenda-and-materials.pdf

Coming soon... http://und.edu/features/2014/08/under-construction.cfm

It is easier to find a good new coach with some good players, like Hooker, already there and some good new talent coming in, than it will be with an empty cupboard, if Jones stays. Yes, Jones recruited the talent both current and future, but how much more success will he have recruiting, with his results of this season. Now is the time to let him go, before further damage is done.

Probably not a new idea here, but there aren't any college teams using it.... UND Aces, somehow tying it into the Aerospace Dept with a flyer logo. You could also use the suits from a deck of cards for the different sports for patches on the uniforms. Baseball... diamonds. Women's sports.... Hearts. Hockey,, Clubs. Edit: Evansville is the Purple Aces

I saw the logo in The Fresh Market in Pensacola last weekend.

I think it is apparent that Weber is having a tough year, but at least they have this... There are a few differences: We do run plays different than high screen and roll Our coach isn't the worst coach in the Big Sky This came from the Weber State's forum after they played UND and comparing their issues with UND. FWIW.

I just received an email from the Target Center for the Frozen Faceoff. How about this one..... "UND Arrows hit Target Center for Frozen Faceoff"

I was talking archery with one of the guys that I work with and he mentioned Lars Andersen, which is pretty cool Scandinavian name. Pretty cool video. Archery (arrows) are making a comeback in movies/TV. Hunger Games, Brave, Game of Thrones, Avatar, Avengers, Green Arrow, Lord of the Rings, etc.. University of North Dakota Arrows.

I don't know what to make of this... Dieter ‏@dieter_grimm Jan 26 Truly blessed to receive a letter from University of North Dakota! #UND

Why not? Slippery Rock is "The Rock".

There is that Arrow again.

The UND Arrows idea didn't "fly" real well overall with the masses. How about using the same Arrow logo with University of North Dakota Fighting Nords. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nord Obviously folks can pervert Nords to Nerds, but as someone already mentioned you can probably pervert any name chosen.

One of my favorites from back in the 90's was Todd Johnson. The kid could shoot, rebound and defend.

My biggest issue with the name Roughriders is that isn't even unique in it's own town. I know that it has been pointed out that there are other places where the HS adopted the same name as the college, but vice versa? UND has a chance to have a unique name. Let's not settle for a name that is going to cause confusion when you open your GF Herald sports page and say "which Roughriders?". I have had a lot of nicknames ideas over the years, some good and some really bad, but UND Arrows with the modified interlocking "ND", I believe, has the most potential. http://forum.siouxsports.com/topic/9644-random-nickname-ideas/?p=744879

Since some folks here like the name UND Roughriders, I did a domain search on undroughriders and found that it is already registered by 1 & 1 INTERNET AG.

Vote for Pedro, I mean gfhockey..
