I never said I was ok with it, but I'm not going to vote for a name I don't particularly like, if there is one I like better on the ballot.
-
It never happened. You could go to the website, and it just wasn't available.
-
I'm not sure that is really the case. I've seen plenty of people in these forums that are fans of the Nodak name, that are still disgusted with him constantly changing the way is being done. I'm not a fan of what he is doing, but I'm still going to vote for the name I like best, which is Nodaks. If it goes to a second runoff (which it should, but probably won't), then I'll vote for whichever name IS NOT fighting hawks.

Pretty much, it started out really well, then went to complete dumpster fire. Not sure what was worse, Eversports Webcast or UND in the 4th quarter. I'll say UND was worse in the 4th. Then there was the Weber St game webcast. I'll say that Eversports was worse, because UND at least showed up for the first half, while Eversports just didn't broadcast.

Its because you are just smarter than the rest of us.

For many of us, that will depend on whether or not Eversports and the Alerus center put together an actual working webcast this weekend.
-
I'm still going Nodaks. If there is a second runoff vote, then I will vote Nodaks 1st and Roughriders 2nd. Anything but Fighting Hawks
-
Good to hear. I like Studrud, and I'm not going to count him out going forward yet. I think he is certainly a dangerous run threat, but I would like to see a QB with more passing ability. Especially if we improve our receiving core. Sounds like Dulin could be a nice player next year if he fills out a bit, and that kid from Red Wing, MN is putting up some really big numbers. It'll be interesting to see if he plays or redshirts next year.
-
I my choice (Nodaks) won with 47%, I'd still be critical of the process and way this has been handled and changed, but I'd still be happy about the name. It really does looks like we will be stuck with Fighting Hawks though. Yuck.
-
Agreed, we don't need to burn more redshirts this year than we already have. As much as I wanted to see Iwarri this year, I don't think he has been used to a high enough degree to justify it. ANYWAY ... does anyone know much about Brad? Do we see him being a competent QB of the future? Does he have the skills to compete with Keaton next season, or is he 2-3 years away from playing? How is his mobility? Ultimately, do we see him contributing, or is the real answer at the QB position yet to commit to UND?
-
Completely agree. Initially, I thought "whatever, lets just vote and wrap this up" but as I though about it more that just doesn't make sense, as having two more vote could drastically change the outcome. Fighting Hawks are in the lead now and may be in the lead after this next vote, but if we have two more votes then I don't see it winning. I see Fighting Hawks being the top choice of the remaining three. But if the vote goes to Fighting Hawks/Roughriders or Fighting Hawks/Nodaks, then I see either Roughriders or Nodaks winning. Eliminating 1 of these final three options opens up alot of room for movement in a final runoff vote.
-
I really did like when the Vermont play by play crew used Nodaks this past weekend. I though it sounded pretty darn good. I know that was hockey, but I think it could be used just as well for football, basketball, etc. I could cope with Roughriders too, and I think there would be some pretty cool logo options there. Please please please no fighting hawks. Sure there could be some decent logo options, but we're basically just blending in with every other boring bird/hawk/eagle school out there.
-
Always the logical view Jim. I think we can all agree that UND and Kelley are definitely not going to win any ethics awards with this process. However, seeing as we (the voters) are at the mercy of the process (whatever process that happens to be), I'm really hoping for two more votes. I'll go Nodaks with the first, and the second (if it is still available). Otherwise I'll go Nodaks then Roughriders. Not a fan of fighting hawks at all.
-
Agree, I really hope it plays out that way, because I will be voting as follows Nodaks, Roughriders, Fighting Haws: I pick Nodaks Nodaks, Roughriders: I pick Nodaks Nodaks, Fighting Hawks: I pick Nodaks Roughriders, Fighting Hawks: I pick Roughriders If there is one vote left, I see Fighting Hawks winning. If there are two votes left, I see either Nodaks or Roughriders winning.
-
I voted for Nodaks, and I plan on voting that way again. Though if if Roughriders were to win, I could definitely get on board with a logo like this. Unfortunately, Fighting Hawks is looking like it will lead the way, which is pretty unfortunate give how boring and incredibly bland it is. Sad to see us go from such a great name and great logo to just another boring name. At least Nodaks and Roughriders were unique.
-
hideous logo
-
So we all know this entire process has been a joke since day one, but the bottom line is there are now 3 options on the ballot. How does this play out going forward? I was surprised to see fighting hawks with the most votes, but I don't really see that changing in the final vote. With these three, I'll vote nodaks. Had nodaks been left off, I would have voted roughriders Go Nodaks!
-
how are noak people easily swayed?
-
gross. Nothing like a bland option similar to the transition Of every other native American team. It is what it is, but I was definitely surprised at how many people voted for that one.
-
Not even going to comment on the process right now. I think I've said my piece on that in the past. Nevertheless, Go Nodaks.
