Won't argue you there, I think we could totally use some depth, and maybe a more established transfer. I would really like to see them work Iwarri Smith in at WR, given the amount they are using him at RB. Plus if Neverman is back next year, would could use Smith's athleticism elsewhere. Heck, wasn't he a potential on defense at one point? Could he play safety? I just think since we pull the redshirt, he needs to be on the field more than he has.

When/If Fighting Hawks win since that is what is rigged to happen...

I always like sitting center ice as a student. Never a fan of sitting right up against the glass, or on the ends. Give me a seat about 10-15 rows back (just above the glass) and between the blue lines. I think you get the best view of the play in each end. -
We can make this Roughriders vrs. Fighting Hawks

but but but We can make this Nodaks vs. Fighting Hawks! -
I don't think that we should necessarily say Studs isn't getting the job done, but he does need to prove that he can throw the ball more that what he has done thus far. Not saying he needs to throw for 400 yards every game, but he does need to get better at looking through his progressions and making good decisions. He has had some really nice passes this year, and some really horrendous ones.
-
Totally, agree with this! I don't think doing this would mean they couldn't utilize Studsrud, or find a way to work him into the game plan, but we need a competent passing game. Especially with how good our run game has been. I think our receivers are only going to get better with Dulin playing next year, and the kid from Red Wing coming in. Hopefully Luke Stanley improves too. We need someone to get these guys the ball.

Dude, you really need to work on that. I have notebooks, binders, post its, all sorts of stuff filed away on this. -

True, that part of it really comes down to who voted for Sundogs and Northstars. It'll be interesting for sure. and this is all assuming that Kelly doesn't change the voting to add No Nickname or Sundogs back into the mix. -
If the coaching staff really sees the need to start bartels, then go for it. BUT based on his recent performance I hope he has a pretty short leash, and that they are willing to pull the trigger on Mollberg.

Looking forward to the floating tiger head

While I fully support anyone who wants to move into the Nodak camp .... in reality, there is no reason to start switching votes at this point. Not when there is going to be a 3rd vote. -

I would hope so, but I agree, I never though fighting hawks was even going to be in the mix. I'm still holding out hope for Nodaks! -

Exactly! There is no reason to overthink this, or try to be strategic or anything. Vote for what you want. If your vote choice doesn't make it to the final vote, you can always change it up then. -

It will be interesting to see the reallocation of the Sundogs and Northstars voters, especially with Nodaks and Roughriders being so close. Will Roughriders pull away or will Nodaks end up taking the lead. Essentially, this votes seem like it is more to determine the favorite between Nodaks and Roughriders. It will then be intersting to see if enough people switch between those two names in the final vote. I know I'm voting Nodaks, but I would much rather see Roughriders than Fighting Hawks. I still think there is a good chance that Fighting Hawks does not win this. -
50% to win, or there will be a runoff between 2...
siouxfan512 replied to Hayduke's topic in UND Nickname
I'm still voting Nodaks, but if Nodaks doesn't make the final cut, then i'll vote Roughriders. Need to remember the votes between nodaks and roughriders were close, and there are still a fair number of votes to be reallocated from the sundogs and North Stars groups. This votes seems to.be more to determine who is in the final vote between nodaks and roughriders. After that I still think either one has a shot against fighting hawks. -
Honestly, at this point. I don't even care about the process or how screwed up it is. The University will continue doing what they want. I think all integrity in the process, and any remaining faith by the voters is all but lost. At this point I'll just vote for who I want and when I'm told do. The end result will be what it will be. I still have my opinion on the name, but I'm getting pretty apathetic here. Go Sioux!! Go Nodaks! Go Roughriders

I'll agree with everyone in the camp of "this vote should be between 2 names, not 3. I also agree with those that say, the reason for including the third option is probably because the number of votes were so close between the 2nd and 3rd options, that there would have been an uproar from the Nodak group. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. I'm not saying changing the rules was right, but it happened. I do think that the school is, at least, right in ensuring that there is a 50% winner by utilizing a 3rd vote, rather than just using the results with the highest percentage in this vote.

I don't think anyone is arguing that the process, and the sudden change in the process is pretty ridiculous. But unless you actually have any control to change the process back to a runoff between the two names, then the "how" is very irrelevant at this point. -

I'm not saying that switching the rules in the first place was the right thing to do. But by doing it this way, you are essentially taking the idea of doing this vote, then a final vote, and combining the results into one. It would be more efficient. For example I intend on voting Nodak. Though if there is a third vote, and Nodaks does not make it I would then vote roughriders. Rather than extending this process out, I could just make both votes at the same time, and the who process could be expedited. I think it would also ensure that the winner would actually get a majority win too. At least this is how I am understanding.

This would make WAY too much sense for Kelly to consider! I would 100% support this.

Thanks man! While I would never actually vote that way, I'm really trying to get down to your level of thinking. I think you really need to back off of people on these threads a bit ... all you're doing is criticizing everyone who doesn't vote the way you want them to. If that is the case, then what is the point of a voting system? I like Nodaks the best ... I don't need to justify why, but I will. I think it sounds the best of the 3. I think it is unique. I always like the idea of just North Dakota, and this is the most similar. Logo options are pretty limitless. If there is a 3rd vote (and Nodaks is not an option) then I'll vote roughriders. Also sounds good. Also unique. I could care less that it is the name of the local high school. Great logo possibilities (including the logo you have posted). BUT I don't like it as much as Nodaks. I don't like Fighting Hawks and I never have. It is boring, generic, unimaginative, the same as too many other schools, etc. If it wins, then so be it, but it won't be because of me. You can say a vote for Nodaks is a vote for Fighting Hawks ... I could say the same about Roughriders, considering both were close in total votes, and there are now a whole mix of Sundog and North Star voters in the mix. Bottom line ... You vote for what you want, and I'll vote for what I want.
-
Get off your soap box buddy. I'm voting for the option I like best. I didn't make up the rules and I didn't change the rules. If this goes to a third runoff, and Nodaks is not in it, then I will vote Roughriders. Though the thought is crossing my mind to completely vote against Roughriders, just to piss you off.
