I'm starting to get nervous about the lack of chatter on any additional FBS transfers at the RB and CB postions; given that it is almost July. Not because I think that FBS transfers are always the answer, but because we NEED depth at those positions or we could end up relying heavily on Freshman. Any rumors or chatter out there?

Can't really blame them; if roles were reversed Sioux fans would be very happy about being mentioned in that light too. Realistic of not. Truth is they deserve to at least be in the conversation, purely based on success. Reality is conference alignment is much more heavily based on money than success.

Sorry to correct you, but I believe there is a millenial version on Saved by the Bell coming out and then needed a new Mr. Belding.

Is there a date scheduled for when we can expect to see this list cut to 3? At that point does the final vote still go to the "public"? Beyond that, is there a rough date by when they would actually implement the name? By this football season? hockey season? Middle of a season? Next Year?

Completely agree

What a joke, that C had Wade Murphy's name all over it.

Like a new on-campus football stadium? Lets do it.

I get what you are saying, but Chewey makes a solid point, that they would be identifying as a State, not a tribe. your are simply disecting the state name to support your own initiative. Then again, there is the clarification of "no nickname", making the argument of "North Dakota" involving a tribal name even less relevant. Real question here is, "Is remaining The University of North Dakota acceptable to the NCAA?" If the NCAA and UND answer that questions publicly, we can drop the majority of this debate and come to a conscensus. If "UND" is acceptable, then it really comes down to a vote, and I see it doing very well. Keep in mind that there have been no great polls to show conscensus. They have all been directed towards different crowds. A real vote would involve a much broader group. If "UND" is not acceptable, then we drop a big fight. At this point I see the "UND" crowd being split between NoDaks and Roughriders. With Roughriders already having so much steam, I see this winning in a popular vote.

Come on folks, I keep waiting to hear for any more potential at RB and CB?!?! Nothing .... Crickets .... Bueller.....?

Didn't realize that. Still hate Stars.

I've already stated my complete displeasure with North Stars, but would still take that over Sun Dogs. It would be one of the worst nickname concepts in the NCAA.

Doing it for that sole intent is a bad idea, Yes. If it was a different name that made sense, then go for it; but being the Northstars, when we are not the Northstar state, just makes us look dumb, and completely incapable of coming up with our own name. Just Stars, could not be more boring; and Stars is not on the list, Northstars is. For the record I agree, Roughriders, but I do still like North Dakota or NoDaks.

Comments on the Star Tribune article are already blowing up on the consideration of the use of North Stars. Further proof how stupid it is. Great name, but not for a North Dakota team.

Roughriders or North Dakota/NoDaks

This would be awful

Agree with all of this. Still like the ideas of North Dakota or NoDaks, but this just does look like it is going to happen. No Hawks for me. No Kumbahyas for me North Stars would be cool, if we were in East Grand Forks Roughriders has a good sound, with some really cool logo potential. Cavalary should have been in the mix. This committe just keeps showing how stupid they are and KG should be banned from any University committee moving forward.

Chill buddy, I was say in general. Not saying that EVERYONE who likes North Dakota, like NoDaks.

how so

I like just North Dakota, but accept that it probably will not happen and for fair reasons. I am good with NoDaks. I am all about Roughriders, if the others do not work out. Anything else should basically be dismissed now.

Nope, I was reading too fast trying to catch up on posts, totally misread

Seriously? You know what a sundog is, right?

Completely agree, I've been saying that for a while Nodaks would be a way of basically keeping North Dakota, but with a nickname
