Maybe it's just because I'm not all that hip with this selfie-obsessed culture, but can someone please explain to me why the letters on the jersey and t-shirt are backwards?
-
When it counts? This place was a dumpster fire after exhibition losses to Canadian colleges and season home opening losses to Bemidji State!
-
And if DH was behind the UND bench, this board would be in flames this morning because of how unprepared the team was against an inferior opponent. I guess somewhere during the time-frame between Dave Haskstol leaving for Philly and last night, Mike Eaves transformed into Toe Blake and the Badgers morphed into the 1972 Soviet team.
-
The patch location was switched after the 2011 season. I've got to go look at a jersey to refresh my memory.
-
Just layin' on the sarcasm, STS. We all know what the reaction of this board would be if a certain coach whose name rhymes with "Shave Smackstol" was behind the bench for this loss.

Wow! Emergency meeting of the gobc at 11pm!

Voted the same way I did a week ago. A third vote will officially make the University of North Dakota a banana republic amongst colleges around the US. I can still say "banana republic" without getting into trouble, right?

Calling the Bluff - Nickname and Donations
MafiaMan replied to NoiseInsideMyHead's topic in UND Nickname
The Black Market for Sioux gear? I've heard that that's a myth. -
I would have consulted UND for $40K.

For those amongst us grumbling about logos, let's imagine for a moment that we're the University of Miami of the late 1970's (if I recall correctly) and we're re-branding our image... ...and we introduce the orange and green 'U' logo... ...this board would laugh that right back to the drawing board as being the worst logo we'd ever seen. That simple logo is never going anywhere. Regardless of the nickname, the LOGO is what can become iconic. I'm willing to give each of these three remaining choices a chance.

ROUGH RIDERS ARE NOT YOUR MASCOT! WE DON'T WANT YOUR HONOR!
-
I apologize - totally missed the context of your reply to someone else as to why you are opposed to Rough Riders. I am 100% in agreement with you - as soon as I knew RHHIT was in favor of Rough Riders, I was against it.
-
Too late. Would be too confusing with Minnesota State and Nebraska-Omaha. Oh, and New Salem High School. Branding nightmare.
-
Soooo...for those thinking Rough Riders is a great name choice... If you are in favor of "Fighting Hawks," you are caving in to PC folks and pro name-changers everywhere. But having David Gipp and Ron His Real Last Name Is Not His Horse Is Thunder amongst your list of supporters for "Rough Riders," is not?

When/If Fighting Hawks win since that is what is rigged to happen...
MafiaMan replied to 01grad's topic in UND Nickname
Twice in a row I've agreed with you. THE APOCALYPSE IS HERE! -
I remember that fiasco - changing the name to "Marquette Gold" to coincide with the move to The Big East for basketball. They sure did strike gold at Marquette - COMEDY GOLD!
-
Let's just rotate nicknames weekly. Given the number of different football, basketball, and hockey jerseys teams wear these day, this shouldn't be a problem. "TOUCHDOWN ROUGHRIDERS!" "Pssst...we're the Nodaks this week, remember?" "HEEEEEERE'S YOUR UNIVERSITY OF NORTH DAKOTA NO-DA, er, uh, FIGHTING HAWK SCOOOO-RING!" Participation trophies for everyone! We're ALL winners!
-
If only Torii could have held onto that bomb hit by David Ortiz a couple of years ago...

Generation Gullible.

When Kelley decrees that he's resurrecting "Sundogs" from the boneyard and making it UND's new nickname?
-
So now a sampling of voters here is akin to a Gallup poll?
-
I don't agree with you often, fs4l, but after mulling this over a bit, I think you might be onto something here. Kelley has effectively made about 5,000 Nodaks voters happy while at the same time, ensuring that those "eliminated" votes now don't swing over to Rough Riders and pole-vault that choice to victory. Consultants look like geniuses, Kelley doesn't have to worry about those nasty Indian comments from Teddy Roosevelt coming to the surface, win-win for everyone!
-
Well, if it keeps the Mets out of the World Series, I vote "aye."
-
SiouxSports.com is a very, very small sampling of eligible voters.
-
With all due respect, I'd like to see the voting breakdown before I start throwing stones at the student-block of Fighting Hawk fans.
