    Has anyone here actually used the word "Hawks" (in a cheering sense) out loud at an actual sporting event?  Because myself, I have yet to witness it used even once.

    I did at the last Saturday home game. As well as ball vs SU. Some cheers some glares. I like to stir the pot, but I'm ready to move on. I don't understand what the booing and chanting does for people. I also don't care what anyone wears.

  2. We win by 14. Attendance will be 6800. We have 275 yds rushing and 200 passing. D gets 4 sacks. UNC has 350 total yds offense. We lead by 7 at half. 5000 beers drank at tailgate. D get 1 intervention. We have no additional injuries. Tempature at kickoff is 68 degrees. UND fans leave happy and the dream becomes reality of reaching the playoffs after we win final two REGULAR season games.

    I'll take the over. 

    Lots of chili and tiny sammiches at the black bus

  3. Is there any way to allow us to sign in from multiple devices? I regularly read from my phone and my iPad but can only be logged in on one or it logs me out on the other.

    works for me?  Iphone and Computer.

  4.  I guess that makes me a bad person.:(

    I don' see where i implied that.

    My point is that there are so many UND supporters i think you overestimate the proportionality of likeminded thinkers.  Its a huge pool of people, with many demographics, i think there is a variety of sentiments on how to move into UND fandom P.N. (Post Nickname)

  5. fantasy.

    I graduated a Sioux from UND. I will continue to buy and wear apparel that reflects one of those 2 things as will most who have graduated from UND....the current and future fans will purchase the new merchandise and that is great. I will continue to support UND but it is very unlikely that I would ever own or wear any apparel that doesn't reflect The Fighting Sioux and/or UND or UND only.....and I am in the large majority on this.

    not picking on you petey,

    I just love comments like this.  Pure speculation based upon your social circle, yet put forth as gospel.  This forum is so full of these statements you could fill a book.

    I graduated a Sioux from UND also, I will buy whatever new branded shite that comes out, cause im still a fan of the teams playing now. But, maybe im in the minority. (see what i did there);)

  6. Thanks for the personal touch on a message board.  Leave his personal life off here.  Not cool. 

    I dono,   I think its kind of a refreshing change of pace, so everyone can remember were talking about real humans. 

    I think we need a QB change to, but the way most are posting about bartels, its like he killed off the last unicorn or something.

    Go ahead and be critical, but dont be a keyboard warrior, it makes you look stupid.

  7. Are you serious?  How?  Again 5.....FIVE.....choices.  One vote for 5 choices.  One reads the thru the five choices and picks one.  The order makes no difference if it is random or identical for every email.  
     

    If I go to my local polling site for any given election all the ballots are the same.  So does that affect the vote too?  

    Any thoughts on the Grassy Knoll?

    no they are not.  unless you voted twice and can verify

  8.  

    Really a NEW YORKER with a foreign accent tell us what to do.  It is (Bau Kan).   I wonder how many sub contractors they had making SNL.  That program auit being funny over a decade ago maybe 2 decades.

    me thinks you dont know what your talking about.

  9. my .02,

    I think its more distracting to have the same 10 posters be unable to ignore any post that they dont agree with.  Sure people are trolling, but they are not open hand slapping you in the face. Quit with the faux outrage.  You come off as whiney toddlers.

    Just keep reading.....no need to come to the defense of UND over stupid crap every time it distracts from actual conversation.  Winning an arguement on a message board shouldnt be the highlight of your day.

  10. What if Kelley selected a group of people who took this job seriously and that included a variety of perspectives, professions and beliefs about the names.  Then that group was put in charge of narrowing down the list of names.  I personally think that would be the best way of getting names narrowed down.

    I see what you did there

  11. Old Name: Fighting Sioux

    New Name: North Dakota

     

    I'm not saying it is THE option, but it is my preference. I think everyone who is anti-no nickname (which I understand) is trying to use a single ambiguous word in the legal agreement to support their own opion. A single ambiguous word, which they have no real clarity on that would deter the use of University of North Dakota. I have to believe that the committee and the University of North Dakota (yes that is the name of the school) has more insight on the subject than the posters on this message board. If they say it is still in play, then they probably know something that you don't.

     

    Now, that doesn't mean we won't have another issues a few years down the road in some people wanting a nickname. BUT I am sick of people using the same tired argument, for which they have no real backup, to support their opinoion. Just say your opinion is to adopt a new nickname, and leave it at that..

    nope, I just think it's monumentally stupid to not have a nickname and mascot.

    Carry on.

  12. Lol really? I needed to clarify I meant the selection process and not the actual nickname?

     

     

    And I'm definitely in that. I'm all done with it, too. Fair enough. Cut bait is fine, I just don't like the lack of accountability that I see him slithering away from.

    Thats fine, but why would there be questions about the selection process?  ONce a name is picked, no amount of pissing and moaning is going to lead to a redo, even if the opponents don't like the process.
