Seems like a lot of one-time hard core (so they say) UND fans are taking your advise and "going with the herd" after last night's meeting. Sounds as if they're jumping ship and getting their NDSU season tix as we speak.

perfect.

Why don't you ask John yourself if that's how it all went down? He is one of the finest and most respected professors in the John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences and one of the main reasons why UND is where it is in regard to global leadership on UAS development (in other words, not your typical pointy-headed Ivory Tower type prof). He can be reached at bridewel@aero.und.edu He will give you a straight and honest answer.

So it will be the same as it always was, then ...everybody wins!

I already did. I wrote "Thanks for doing what you should have done from the beginning."

^^^^^^^ This! Subtle and oh so true.

What meeting? He was not at the meeting last night.

That ship has sailed.

Unfortunately, I think you are spot on.

How would that be any different than, oh I don't know, say... the last 30 years at UND?

I will go with whatever is selected regardless, as I have always said the University and its student athletes are who I am really cheering on anyway. But I think Roughriders also falls in line with American tradition where the flagship universities in each state are nicknamed after some sort of official or unofficial nickname of their state.

I've seen a few but they have only been from one sport -- the one that has for decades has worn the logo on their sweaters. Can you give me a broader list of UND athletes who are clearly upset by what happened last night? I could do it, too, but it sounds like you have been really monitoring it closely. Thanks in advance for any info you can provide! Much appreciated!

Five names going to president are: Nodaks, North Stars, Fighting Hawks, Sun Dogs and RoughRiders.

KG motion to move forward to the president 5 names and not cut anymore at this time -- but discussion on next steps would follow -- passes.

KG says president can add more or cut down more if he wants.

KG suggests offering up the final 5 names move forward and not be eliminated.

They're talking RoughRiders now.

Green hawks is eliminated next.

Yeah, Bridewell originally proposed it.

7-4 vote

Bridewell's motion to eliminate "North Dakota" from consideration passes.

I'm equally surprised!

I already corrected that information.

Looks like Fighting Hawks.

Fighting Hawks ranked the highest.
