That somehow people actually give a _____ about the people of GF and/or GFRRHS and their opinion.

Holy schnikey........what a 37 second collapse by CHI.

Really........Mattson in your opinion then?

They like the Red Pepper and Italian Moon? They were members of the gobc?

How about the UND TIny Bubbles. Not offensive, is happy and gay, is unique and it honors one of Strasburg, ND finest. Logo could be challenging but it would be with Artic Blaze, Fighting Greens, Green Pride or the like.

Wikipedia also has Roughrider as a state nickname..........and Fargo as the state capitol. So there!

Then you can go to Walmart and buy your 3 pack of Haines green t-shirts in anticipation of the UND Fighting Greens!

So to recap on the possibility of using Roughriders for the new UND nickname: The good people of Grand Forks and anyone ever associated with RRHS need to give written consent that they approve with the potential duplication of the nickname...or that RRHS will adopt the new nickname "Little Roughriders". Also either the university or RRHS need to phyiscally move its location to fulfill the criteria as to be located more than 1.5 miles from each other but within 65 miles based on the geographic relationship between Kindred and Valley City. Did I miss anything?

If Poolman doesn't play mostly forward last season KT is most likely the odd D-man out most nights. IMO he has no business entertaining thoughts about going pro at this stage in his hockey career.

I'm with you. Looks really good. Some will argue it would look better without the ND but with a gay ax wielding lumberjack decal...or at least that logo would sell more T-shirts.

I'm coming around to Nokotas if it can't be........wait for it........Ridas.

Roughriders or bust.........

You been drinking too many Bud Lime again...haven't you?

I'll disagree with you on Roughriders. Of the 64 left the two you mentoined above are the clear cut winners IMO and we should vote now!

If you are on the committee and you said "yes" to Fighting Greens, Blizzard Dogs, Artic Blaze, Green Pride or Wings (just to select a few) you should look at yourself in the mirror and realize this process isn't for you and step aside. To try and give any rational thought that any of these names could possibly be the new nickname at the university you were selected to represent is absurd.

I'll put you in the bucket "I like Big Green". Yay you!

We are and so for the sake of having a nickname we should be prepared and comfortable with the notion of the UND Big Green as a real possibility. Can't wait!

Well said but to your last point......that would require a pair. "Ain't never gonna happen" says the English professor at NDSU..........

Two things in life one can never get rid of...........luggage and herpes.

But we are talking about our process...the process to get UND a new nickname and more importantly get it right. Pretty sure no one cares about a "list of current college nicknames" when in the end that won't have any bearing on how those associated with UND feel about what is ultimately decided...for UND. There are 64 names left..........give me 4 you consider tolerable that would be an improvement on just being "North Dakota" with the branding of the "ND".

But it will still sell more t-shirts than just "ND".........................

Well said. In my last post I referenced 6 nicknames still in contention.......they suck as do a vast majority of the remaining 58. The "ND" logo on its own is far and away superior than 62 of the nicknames still in the running.

I'd take that bet any day. But reading your posts with your keen spin on marketing you probably think you could sell ISIS flags in Israel too. For the UND rebranding to be successful it will still ultimately come down to what those who support UND in anyway shape or form feel about the new logo. Not what some 16 year old thug in Baltimore thinks is cool. The "ND" is recognizable past, current and future with anyone associated with UND. That will not be said for some lame goofy Sundog, Pride or Spirit logo that is just around the corner. What kind of logo would you suggest for Nodaks, Big Green or Force? You really think any logo you could come up with for those 3 nicknames would out sell just the "ND"?

Now my Droid is covered with coffee! Why do I get the idea that the counsel of the LGTB has you on speed dial though?
