  1. Looking down the lineup, I'm wondering who is going to step up and win some faceoffs this year? It would be nice to develop someone that can do that in the clutch. Simonson? Schmaltz? Excited, as always, to see how it plays out!

    Simonson put up some pretty decent faceoff numbers when he played last year.

  2. I've bee a vocal critic of Roughriders, but it seems pretty obvious, even to me, that it's the best option remaining.  And I generally agree that a new nickname is better than no nickname, but honestly, when compared to this list, no nickname is not a bad option.  

     

    For me:

     

    1) Roughriders - I don't like that we're copying the local high school team, but it's an official nickname of the state and is pretty unique

    2) Cavalry - I like it in theory, but the confusion with Calvary can't be ignored.  About half the people on this board spell it wrong, and probably say it wrong too.  On the other hand, a lot of people spelled Sioux wrong too (but at leas it was easy to pronounce).

    3) North Dakota

     

    The remaining options are all unacceptable in my opinion.

     

    What truly frightens me is that with all the really bad nicknames in the Final 15, at least one of them is sure to make the Final 3.  And when that happens, look for outside interests to wreak havoc with the public voting process.

     

    Agreed. The only option left that makes sense.
