UND grinds out some yards and moves the ball to take a 16-10 lead into halftime. Montana sells out to stop the run in the second half daring us to throw the ball. Offense goes 3 and out 5 or 6 times and the defense wears down and Montana wins 27-16......stop me if you have heard this before. This is not a shot at our team or the job Bubba is doing......it is just where we are right now at this stage of a total rebuild.

Am proud to say that this reference goes completely over my head.....have no idea what Hogwarts is.

Well I have officially voted. I went with what I thought was the second best name available as the far and away best name is already in use in another form by our neighbors to the East.

Well you could probably shut the average "terd" fan down pretty quickly. Just inquire as to the sexual proclivities of their mascot ........not that there's anything wrong with that.

Maybe you should tell him to go to his own board.

haven't you been paying attention? That is exactly how this works. If I don't want a new name chosen from these 5 it has to be that I want Fighting Sioux back and no name would ever be good enough for me even though that is completely inaccurate. People need to remember that message boards like this one are a tiny representation of the real world outside. I was back at homecoming and have been to all the football games and as some one who was in a house while in college and has remained pretty active in attending UND events(mostly sports) both home and away over the last 25 years or so I have had opportunity to meet and interact with many fellow alum and of the 150-200 I run into or see on a regular basis it is accurate to say that a good 90% of them were probably in favor of going forward with no name for now and of that 90% there are probably 2% who actually think that the Sioux name has a chance to return.

Like I said. anyone who has taken a freshmen marketing class would have handled this better than President Kelley. The fact that there wasn't potential logos and branding and marketing plans when it got down to 10-12 names as absolutely backwards.

I think this will happen " revisit the decision and perhaps decide it was time for a new nickname in 10 years." no matter which way this ends up. Bottom line is, of the 5 selections remaining there isn't one that is worthy of the University of North Dakota.

this info isn't hard to find.

I'll probably vote in the next day or to and I couldn't care less about the new name. Just want to make sure it's not Sun Dogs. But I certainly have no investment in a name that is going to be a short term solution because the permanent name solution whatever it was or is was not in the final 5.

There administration has at times over the years tried and they received pretty major backlash.

And even if it was still on the ballot those idiotic responses would still make no sense. How hard can it be to understand that if UND went by North Dakota that there wouldn't be a name.

Still chant "Lets Go Warriors" at their basketball games. As far as apparel worn at games by their fans at games it is about 10% Golden Eagles gear with the remaining 90% split between Warrior gear and Marquette gear.....it's been 22 years. If you go to their bookstore site, 14 of the 120 most popular items have Golden Eagles on them with the rest being Marquette only. Even most students who have attended since 1994 when they changed their name refer to themselves as Warriors. And in my opinion I think the Fighting Sioux name had a lot more passion behind it than the Warrior name did.....or at the very least equal to it.

And that is exactly what we are in the process of doing right now.

Warriors is still hanging around at Marquette after 20 years.....just saying

I love it. Traditions can be passed down. I laugh at those who think Sioux and/or Fighting Sioux will disappear anytime in the next 20-30 years.

Maybe this is the long con? UND chooses Roughriders for name. They incorporate Roosevelt into the marketing/logo/etc. The Native American's already upset that the NCAA and UND removed Fighting Sioux start protesting at UND events and march on Indianapolis to draw attention to the hypocrisy and racist insensitivity of the NCAA and by force UND. NCAA acquiesces and orders UND to return to Fighting Sioux. Profit!

fyp.

yes. Fact.

Sometimes it just takes a little time. Columbus Day established in 1892 Roughrider award established in 1961

And a freshman whose playing time is still up in the air.

So Brad's article is a hack piece because it points out the fact that Teddy Roosevelt was in fact a bigot and a racist?

Our D corps is solid. Forwards need to play D on occasion.

Thoughts? https://www.change.org/p/reinstate-the-university-of-north-dakota-north-dakota-nickname/u/13802196?tk=bUW2_nQek1-Trzn2TKYsb_qHZjUnnkQpqLjZ4gaoeq4&utm_source=petition_update&utm_medium=email I would like to see people send this email if you were in favor of keeping The University of North Dakota as our name....whether as a permanent name like a few wanted or until another name organically moves to the front and makes sense like many were in favor of. If you do this and still feel inclined to vote I am fine with that as that way you can protect UND against the truly awful choices on the ballot and at the same time let them know you are not happy with the whole mess of a process that got us here.

I am proud to say I was in student senate when this was brought to the Senate for funding. I am happy to say I was one of the ones who killed this embarrassment to UND as far as funding it.....unfortunately they found another source.
