There's something you don't read every day: The words "Dr. Kelley" and "integrity" being used in the same conversation.
-
Well, given that an overwhelming majority of eligible voters don't appear to care what the new nickname is, I guess we deserve whatever fate befalls us, don't we?
-
Oh, now that it's four, forget it. Marketing disaster!
-
I'm no fan of Rough Riders, but if the SEC can successfully market 3 Tigers and 2 Bulldogs, then I'm guessing UND could figure out how to differentiate itself from a CFL team in Saskatchewan, a local high school, and a minor league hockey team in Iowa.

So now the claim is that almost 50% of current students voted - and all of them voted for Fighting Hawks? No way.
-
Well, you were citing their number to claim how popular the name was in comparison to Fighting Hawks, so there's that...
-
So you're claiming it's a Kelley conspiracy to foil Roughriders?
-
650 Roughriders? Rough Riders Roughriders RoughRiders RuffRiders Ruff Riderz Just 645 to go...
-
Cratter, in all seriousness, how many variations of Nodaks and Rough Riders can you possibly come up with?
-
Agreed. Embarrassing that folks can be so easily duped by social media. That logo talk is absurd.
-
Building Respect for Individuals, Dogs, Goofiness, Especially Sundogs?
-
Also, for what it's worth, my thought is that if you didn't care enough to vote in round 1, why should you be allowed to vote in round 2?
-
To borrow from "The Naked Gun"... Experts say there's a 50/50 shot at more voters in Round 2...although there's only a 33% chance of that.
-
And if Kelley left Nodaks out of the equation, he would be accused of trying to put sandbags up to stop the rising tide of that choice. Like I said, he couldn't win either way with this decision. Excellent use of the word "capisce," BTW. Nicely done!
-
That "fake logo" must be being floated around by the hockey only fans, right?
-
Only 116 votes separated Nodaks and Roughriders. I'm no fan of Kelley, but he's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't with this one.
-
As opposed to the NoDak Nodaks?
-
Because by including Nodaks as a choice, it's almost statistically impossible for the final standings to change.
-
I guess if practically everyone who voted for North Stars or Sundogs now votes for Roughriders, then sure, "wins easily" it is.
-
So even though the hockey folks apparently prefer Nodaks, you're mad because Kelley is sabotaging Rough Riders?
-
So now the "Nodaks" folks are b*tching because the rules were changed to INCLUDE their choice in a run-off vote? Unbelievable.
-
Missed the game - what were his comments and the logic behind them?
-
For the record, I loved the skate-in-motion logo that the Canucks used to wear. My memory of them is the 1994 Stanley Cup Finals against the Rangers and Pavel Bure flying around the rink. Great jersey and logo!
-
A write-in vote. The Rough Riding Fighting Sunhawks of Nodak.
-
If the school name was Dickinson State, then sure, NoDaks or Nodaks would work. When it's North Dakota, Nodak sounds redundant. Kinda the same with North Dakota North Stars - I just don't get the appeal. Vancouver Canucks isn't a fair example because it's not apples to apples. If you went with Boston Bostonians or Detroit Detroiters, then we'd have a valid comparison. With Canucks, we don't. I voted for what I felt was the least crummy out of five crummy choices I was given.
