Exactly. I don't want to hear well we lost some valuable seniors from last year or other excuses. That is college basketball and you are running a college basketball program and have for 10 years now so year to year excuses ring pretty hollow. It is your job to build depth in the program, it's not like this is your second season at the helm.

So do I. I think anything less than a top 4 league finish and/or top 4 tournament finish and it is time to move on.

America!

Maybe for the time being he will just continue to yell "Here comes the University of North Dakota"

People have pointed out the arguments as to how much Roughriders is or isn't related(I know it's the state name.....I am not one of those) but there are several Hawks that are found in North Dakota. As far as Lady Riders? Wow, I hadn't even thought that out in my mind or read it anywhere until just now and my first thought would be are we going to add a "Brazzers" stamp to the ladies team posters?

Well I like Hawks alone better than Fighting Hawks but would actually prefer Prairie, Bullet, Green, White, or Kelly to either.

North Dakota vs. Minnesota in Las Vegas - October 2018

Umm. We will have played them 4 games at least before that game. -
and with good reason. It was a complete clusterfu&^ from start to finish. A freshmen marketing class at Devry could have put together and implemented a better process. Absolute fail from the leadership.

Somebody told someone else whose cousin's sister's best friend heard that ALL the students believe that will be the logo and that is why they are voting for Fighting Hawks and it has nothing to do that for whatever reason many of the students feel that Fighting Hawks sucks less than the other 2 options or that maybe they don't want to attend a University with the same name as a local high school.

ummm. That ship sailed months ago.

Didn't help that we played about 5-10 seconds of the 5 on 3 with only 3 guys and then another 5 seconds with 4? WTF was that?

This is absolutely true. You see a post of Facebook from UND or someone reposting it and some of the comments coming from out of the area UND alum are amazing. Many of them say they want to remain the Sioux like that is an option. Others have no idea about what went down and how we got to where we are. Many have no idea there was a lawsuit and conflict with the NCAA....

That should scare teams into keeping their names. Addidas design team is terrible. It's almost like a threat.

Vaguely. Never been compared to a liberal before. So just a basic question for you. Do you honestly believe that when an alum who graduated in 2011 or earlier when faced with the realization that they are unable to find any Sioux apparel will then when given the choice purchase Nodak or Roughrider or Fighting Hawks apparel versus just buying a cool design that has UND or The University of North Dakota on it? If your answer is yes.......see Marquette, University of

I guess we will see? I do have a vested interest as I am in the business but I am not forecasting any large commission windfalls from whatever the new name is beyond the first 6-12 months and even that won't touch what the Sioux logo did the last 2-3 years in existence. I will still purchase UND apparel and merchandise and keep my season tickets and attend games and travel to Frozen Fours etc. and cheer on UND no matter what the name is but just don't see myself wearing anything with the new name on it. I guess that makes me a bad person.

well no one said he was all bad.

I believe it goes red river clap clap, red river clap clap

fantasy. I graduated a Sioux from UND. I will continue to buy and wear apparel that reflects one of those 2 things as will most who have graduated from UND....the current and future fans will purchase the new merchandise and that is great. I will continue to support UND but it is very unlikely that I would ever own or wear any apparel that doesn't reflect The Fighting Sioux and/or UND or UND only.....and I am in the large majority on this.
-
Aside from the fact that 5-10 that were better than any of the remaining were discarded along the way.
-
That is happening no matter which way this ends up....the bottom line is we don't have a name to choose from that is worthy of the University. If one comes along organically then there will be a movement towards that name....whether that happens or not, Sioux and Fighting Sioux will overshadow things for 20-25 years so everyone should simmer their expectations that a new name that in the end is favored by less than 10% of the shareholders is going to create some groundswell of support.
