If I was asked ...."do you like Rough Riders for the new nickname"....I would say no.
If I was asked...."pick a nickname from these choices"
1) Nodaks
2) Reapers
3) Roughriders
Suddenly Ruffriders looks a lot better.
If a person goes to the 4:00 game(no matter who you're rooting for) and doesn't stick around for a Denver/Miami matchup......you really can't classify yourself as fan of college hockey.
