This forum is the minority of UND fans. Passionate bordering on insanity...myself included at times The majority are your regular people from Grand Forks/ND that talk about what name they're voting for and why then move on with the rest of their life.

Oh it was a joke, no use getting all riled up Plus I really wanted to use that gif for something. I'll proudly support the team if Roughrider is chosen... or any name for that matter.

Agreed! In fact, we will all live if any of the 5 names are chosen! ...But with Sundogs, it would be a bleak, pointless existence

Come on, at least photoshop your image you googled of a rainbow and put UND in there. This is just lazy.

A little early for me to know if I'll have extras. However, this will probably be the easiest series to get tickets for all year. No students in town and a less than desirable opponent in UAH. I'd be surprised if you couldn't find tickets around the $20-30/ticket once the weekend gets closer.

I disagree, I think they're in for a "rough ride" ... I'll show myself out

Well sh**, there goes my rep on this site. It's been real guys.

We would but I'm sure his choice would be declined by the NCAA, who would proceed to tell him he's actually offended by said nickname.

This statement is full of false assumptions. And you know what they say about those. They make an ass our of 'u' and 'mptions' or something like that...

If it's a non-factor why do people care that it's random? Qualtrics and UND want to appear as though they have impartiality. Even the appearance of that could bring on more controversy that they don't want. I think they've had their fill of that.

I'd agree with this. It has to appear as though there is not even a hint of bias on the part of Qualtrics or the University. It makes sense to me but it seems like a non-issue to me. Who cares if it's random order?

I must have missed the part where the Fargo Forum creates the logo for the nickname chosen.

Voted for Nodaks, best of the lousiest

Does this include current Hockey HC Brad Berry?

Time to find a new one

We really missed on this one. Why was an option not the University of North Dakota Creatures. We have a built-in mascot!

Agreed with all points on BSU, I was pulling for them when they made the Frozen Four. Their fans are generally really nice people and great fans. And last year, I couldn't even hate them when they whooped us to open the season. They looked good and we needed to understand we couldn't just show up in our own arena. I think part of their "like-ability" is they play a hard-nosed game like us(with less skill players), they have a great coach, and the fans a lot of time crossover as Sioux fans as there a lot of GF residents that live part-time in Bemidji area(my parents included).

I agree it would have been nice to get the win but this time of year I generally look for how the team is playing and try not to focus so much on the results. If we would have gotten outskated and out-chanced all night with our goalie having the hot hand to save the game, I wouldn't be as thrilled. I love that it sounds like we are playing an attacking style that puts opponents back on their heels. The goals will come from the sounds of it and I think there is a lot of positives and lessons to take out of the weekend. I think Bemidji will be a good litmus test for this team as they looked to skate with UMD most of the night on Saturday.

goals against was the tiebreaker Its hilarious some people on here are getting worked up over a tie... At the beginning of the season... With 11 freshmen... Where we vastly outplayed them... In their home state I'm nothing but excited for this teams potential when they get going.

UND seems to be outshooting Main and from the sounds of it, it seems they are in Maine's zone most of the time.

nope, 4:44 remaining in the 1st. Seems like UND dictating pace.

I like jokes. Technically they are taller on average but we are about 5 lbs heavier on average... And we are definitely faster
