  1. And if you go to a game, about half of their fans and even students who weren't even alive when they were the Warriors are adorned in Warrior gear. I have asked many people "Quick, tell me the name of Marquette's athletic teams and they either can't answer or say Warriors"....try it on an college sports fan.
  2. So that is the new goal. Pick a new name, it won't be so bad.I will always be a UND fan and will buy "UND" apparel as long as it doesn't have a lame name on it. The Wild are one of my favorite(#3) NHL teams and I cheer for them but it doesn't change the fact that "Wild" was, is, and will continue to be a horrible name.
  3. This^^^When they reduced the list to 60 something they had 3 or 4 names in the list that might have had a chance to be unique and catch on.....and then they were gone.
  4. From the GF Herald article. UND Professor John Bridewell, on the other hand, was one of seven committee members who ranked it as their least favorite option and said faculty didn't want to move forward with that. "President Kelley, if we send him North Dakota, no nickname, I think he could just disband the committee or just say we could start over or he could just veto it," Bridewell said. This would be the best option right now. We are left with Roughriders....borderline top 100 from original list Nodaks....seriously? Sundogs....should have been one of first casualties, not in top 1000 Fighting Hawks.....safe generic choice, doesn't meet ANY of the supposed criteria. Nice logo opportunities though. North Stars.....great name, cool logo opportunities which is probably why our neighbors use it for their state motto.
  5. Well it probably isn't anymore or less scientific than any polls by the papers or this site but judging by around 4or 5 hundred responses to 7 different news stories on the issue on facebook, it seems that remaining North Dakota was favored by about 95%.
  6. And if Kelly has already said that he won't be picking North Dakota why put him in the spot of choosing a name that doesn't win the vote.
  7. Rocky and Bucky didn't want to be 2nd and 4th in the pecking order.
  8. One year, one team travels to the other teams location and if they have the trophy they bring it with them and if they don't they try and win to take it back home with them. The following year, the other team repeats the process......until that is in place, go kick rocks.
  9. The Nickel Trophy was presented to the winner of the formerly annual football game between the rival University of North Dakota (UND) Fighting Sioux (who changed their nickname and logo in 2012) and the North Dakota State University (NDSU) Bison. The two universities are approximately 76 miles apart on the eastern border of North Dakota. The two schools last played each other in 2003 and are next scheduled to play each other in 2015. Until home and homes on an annual basis are scheduled it stays retired with the team that won it most often and last.....that's my rule.
  10. If only the leaders back then had the foresight to anticipate the Pussification of America
  11. I am sure there is some perpetually offended social justice warrior out there who is offended.
  12. Be careful not to lump all Bison fans together.....it really is just the few rotten thousands that spoil it for the other 11.
  13. https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/10408623_1000430293314447_6154011498491881522_n.jpg?oh=3bb2fda600f1d009712b197f806b9d06&oe=5614FC1D
  14. Umm. Yes. And out of 2 would be even better yet.
  15. NDSU is a decent fall back. I had them as a safety school as well.
  16. UND ain't winning this game......in 2015. If miracle of miracle happened, I will be disappointed if our Athletic Director doesn't walk out to the middle of the field with a briefcase containing our cash buyout for 2019, the 2019 contract and some lighter fluid. Set case down, pull out contract and lighter fluid and light contract on fire.....walk off the field and here is where I am conflicted a bit as I am not sure if he should go with the single gun or double gun salute, but I am leaning towards the double birds.
  17. Whoa, pump the brakes sport. I don't think I directly called you an idiot. I merely agreed with the case presented by BisonAlumni2011 that would lead most reasonable people to believe that you are in fact an idiot. I am sorry if you misunderstood or misinterpreted my post.
  18. So from what you are saying, Darrell is an idiot. You make a pretty good case, I agree.
  19. Not to mention the competition level in the conference. Big 10 is arguably the 5th best conference for hockey right now. I would rate them 4th, but that is best case scenario.
