I voted for Nodaks but even I am questioning keeping it in there as an option... Would we have kept 4 if 2, 3, and 4 were all close? It's a slippery slope...

I have talked to people that work for UND pushing for FH, so maybe that's where it came from?

Well they just announced a 3 team runoff via email and social media

I thought it was supposed to be a 2 team run off? I guess because RR and Nodaks were so close they changed it to 3?

no it's not, this is men's hockey not nickname. The vote is over, give it up

go to a different forum, this is to discuss the Vermont series

thank you! great shutout by Hrynkiw but d cleared out juicy rebounds and limited grade a opportunities. We just looked like a flat out better team.

Might be a slight overreaction, we could use his scoring touch on the run to Tampa.

Sure, we can handle anything but this is a matter of opinion. I graduated from RRHS and I don't think the nickname is the best fit for UND. It doesn't matter if I can handle it, I would just prefer it not be the nickname. That's my opinion.

The ones that come to the top of my mind as possibilities are @‌ Duluth, @ Omaha, & @‌ Denver. But since we'll probably be undefeated at that point we may still be favorites

You really need to get me in touch with your hacker

I voted Nodaks but I agree, that could be neat

Absolutely, working on a Mechanical Engineering degree is no walk in the park. Doing it while playing goalie for the #1 team in the country seems crazy. Seems like a great representation of what UND hockey is all about, putting the work in when no ones watching and waiting for your shot.

Well that's fine research you done did there SIOUXFAN97. I think I speak for everyone on the message board in saying thank you for taking the time to assemble that for us folk that don't understand fancy math equations and the like. I wonder though, would one of them Smart Cars just not even vote then? I seen one of them the other day on the road and ran it off with my lifted up Chevy truck because I don't like things that confuse me. That's why I like your post, it tells me what's what.

Almost my feelings exactly

Welp, that's it. Looks like we're the fighting hawks. Someone buy the domain name.

And there goes that argument... right out the window

Clearly any nickname that's picked will not have the leverage that Sioux had. So do you think Nodakclothing.com will have a bigger market share of Nodak Apparel sold than UND athletics if Nodaks is chosen? Will people immediately associate the clothing with their brand? I doubt it since most people aren't even aware it exists. Again, obviously they won't be 1st with any nickname like they were with the Sioux. I think we're on the same page? Sort of?

Agreed about what you said about a very clear and specific logo. I never said that the Sioux doesn't think about licensing revenues so not sure where the 2nd paragraph was referring to.

I really don't think they would be much competition for UND athletics clothing. Especially considering I didn't know it existed until about 10 minutes ago. I don't see the lack of imagination by one small company affecting UND's athletic department's imagination in producing and marketing their own Nodak brand. I guess I'm still failing to really see how this affects the nickname being chosen. Not sure if the fast food restaurant analogy applies. McDonald's has built a brand that's known worldwide. This small company does not have that sort of reach or brand equity, obviously.

I don't follow, didn't see much to read in the link. It's a clothing company that happens to be name Nodak so... that's what our logo will be? Sorry, not making the connection.

How would you be able to mess with the Golden Opher-3 Gopher hockey team though?
