Nothing, they are just dumb lol. I'll ignore it, but if that silly thing gets in my eye line during a play, his head will be removed haha.

I find this so funny. Is it just a general lack of wanting to find the information? Are people just stuck on their talking points and that's all they need? There are so many people who argue about things that they have ZERO knowledge about. Insanity!

D'okay

Never said I intended to fix the problem. Just a simple observation, buddy.

Ok, so you were diverging from the original point by Darrell, which I disagreed with... ok then. Moving on, I suppose.

Hahaha beat me to it. People going to be SO mad

Do you honestly believe that there's a close number of people who have fully embraced FH over the old nickname? Or are you grasping for the argument that "the number is growing"?

But, but, but... the University is going to get hurt by this!!

"Much more" is still incredibly low. Most UND football, basketball, etc., fans are also UND hockey fans.

I agree with this. It is, what it is, I guess.

Nice! Love the bloodline. Hopefully he keeps progressing.

I disagree. I think there were several names in that list that the community would have gotten behind much quicker than Birdie McGeneric Bird.

Comparing the two population sizes of fans, my post didn't need fixing, whatsoever. While the growth may be happening, the people who have fully embraced the FH logo and name is still tremendously lower than the opposite.

I still feel very strongly that this kind of sentiment would have been significantly less prevalent had the process not brought a new nickname that is generic and bland. The logo is not unique, not wholly UND or North Dakota and is boring. Had something come along that everyone could get behind, the transition would have been much easier, IMO.

Lol let's be clear, here. You're still in the super-minority on this issue, my friend. People don't seem to be even close to the second option, IMO.

Anyone think it sucks it only for current students? I do.

If this happens, I only miss JBD

I think social media is ONLY for dumb comments

That's exactly why they didn't release it. They'd be mocked mercilessly and I doubt they want that.

Sure seems non inclusive, if you ask me

All he's saying is that it's unfortunate. Not rehashing an argument. Simply saying he wishes it would have been considered.

You and I disagreed earlier, but I promise I'm not just trying to be contrarian when I say I couldn't agree less with this lol. But again, I frickin' hate mascots haha.

I think it would be a big deal if the admin portrayed it as a student-driven initiative if it were not, but yeah, I completely agree it's honestly not a big deal. I just frickin' hate mascots hahaha

I truly hope this was a groundswell from the students, but I definitely don't think this is the whole story. My guess... a group from the admin reached out to Student Gov to say they wanted to do this and asked if they thought this was a good idea. Then, Student Gov ran with it. They can let StuGov run it and look like the good guys, too. Again, just me spit balling, but it seems weird to think this was all started by the student population.
