Seriously an assistant Principal at a pre school could have come up with a better process.
You want name submissions then
1. have the UND Alumni Foundation send out an email to their alumni list with a secure link for them to be able enter their submissions and also send out postcards to those who may not use the computer that often with directions on who they can email to receive the same link for them to submit their names
2. UND can send an email to current students with the same info.
That is it. Not that difficult. I don't care what Jethro from NDSU thinks would be a "funny" name.
Committee and Prez pick out 2 or 3 names, check with the marketing experts to make sure the name and logo will be marketable and follow the same process as above.

for everyone to put their top two choices i wish they would put what they think their/the logo would be because it has to make und money or else it is pretty much useless....for my two picks the fighting norse the logo would be a viking profile (minus the horns) and for the nokotas a horse head profile. so for names like the badlanders, blizzard, spirit, and warriors what would your logo be?
-
1. Fighting Norse
2. Nokotas

Hey, if you think that Flickertail sports will ever be more than an afterthought in the bsc, then by all means enjoy the ride (flight) in the pacific time zone.
the same bsc the ndac begged to get into multiple times?? thanks for your interest in und athletics.

If the Summit needs teams, und has a big barganing chip and the Summit can leverage you into the MVFC. If the Summit wants you, the mvfc will happen. Only an idiot would join the summit without a mvfc spot also, as you'd then have no leverage.
Und admin is likely just as clueless about how much leverage they actually have as the people on this board.
can we stop this ncc 2.0/gateway football conference talk....und is attached at the hip to montana, montana state, and idaho...if the ndac wants to come on over feel free (we will even put a good word in for ya) if not it was nice knowing ya.

I agree - I saw some videos last year of pre-game activities at SU and most people in the video didn't even know who they were playing - it's about the overall experience and a winning atmosphere.
one of the best videos ever made...

Played around with a logo I found on another blog.
if und does go with nokotas, fighting norse, roughriders, or nodaks i do hope that ben brien does the logo
if und goes with blizzard, sundogs, pride, spirit, or any other lame ass nickname i hope they let some little kids at kelly elementary do the logo (inclusive enough)

Although it's not an apples to apples comparison, look at what happened in Idaho with the University of Idaho and Boise St. At one time, Boise State was a junior college. Boise is the largest city in Idaho and used that to it's advantage in gaining sponsorship's, focusing on sports, etc. Are they the best University in the Idaho? Academically no, but athletically, yes. Does this mean UND should sell out and focus only on athletics, of course not. But if we continue to be oblivious to what Fargo and NDSU are doing, we may end up in a similar scenario. NDSU has a lot of momentum in gaining fans around the state. Many people feel they can support UND hockey while supporting NDSU athletics since NDSU doesn't sponsor hockey. Our Athletic Department needs to realize this and start promoting and supporting all of our athletic teams better.
i do think instead of a meaningless (albeit profitable) game versus u of manitoba to start the season at REA play in rotation among bismarck, williston, and minot to reach out to that side of the state?
and one bball game...instead of at the betty versus dickinson state...have it at the bismarck civic center versus dickinson state???
and maybe the spring football game rotating around the state at a high school field..maybe starting out in Zeeland/Strasburg, ND?

There are 2 names that I think will be on the short list of 3 to be voted on. Nodaks and Nokota. I think these have the best chance to be a decent nickname moving forward. Here is why I think why:
Nodaks:
Many people are, to put it lightly, less than excited to choose a entirely new name and logo. They don't want to be known as anything else if it's not the Fighting Sioux. Some of these people you can classify then as the "no namers" who simply think "North Dakota" with no nickname is good enough. Well, being known as the Nodaks might be a middle ground compromise that they and others may rally around. If UND simply adopted the name "Nodaks" they really don't have to come up with a new logo. The interlocking ND has been used at UND for decades. Simple adding Nodaks below the ND logo would give us a name, but we wouldn't have to change too much. Old jerseys from teams in the past ,basketball I know for sure, had "Nodaks" on them. So its not like we haven't gone by it before. Not having to come up with a new logo is something many don't want to do. Picking Nodaks keeps the logo in place and gices UND a nickname without having to change things drastically.
Nokota:
Now there are those that want a new name and a new logo and a new identity. One thing I and others said in the survey was that they wanted something original. Something that no other school has. Well Nokota is exactly that. Cannot get any more original than that. To my knowledge, no atheltic team is called the Nokota. Itis the state horse of North Dakota. And its history is specific to being only from North Dakota. There is the potential for a pretty sweet new logo to be designed as well. A new logo that people really liked would go a long way. Of course it has already been mentioned that you could shorten it to "Nokes" if you wanted.
Those are the best options I see out there.
miami hurricanes=canes
montana grizzlies=griz
montana state=cats
wyoming cowboys=pokes
gonzaga bulldogs=zags
usc gamecocks=cocks
tennessee volunteers=vols
maryland terrapins=terps
georgia bulldogs=dawgs
virginia cavaliers=cavs
when und beats wyoming in a couple months the herald headline might say "Nokes gallop over the Pokes"?
-
kind of like how hak tailored the assistant head coach job description to be only for brad berry it seems that most of the criteria for und's new nickname really sounds like its being tailored to the "Nokotas" when i read the qualifications for the new nickname imo...?
-
You're just making bulls*it up, at this point. It's AGAINST THE LAW to release any kind of "injury list"... that's never happened and it never will .... this nonsense has got to stop. We are essentially blaming the SID here. What are we doing?!
This stuff is just getting old.
just saying that hajdu is such a hak apoligist that when hak's teams flame out he is the first person in line to say that this guy was playing with a seperated shoulder for two months, this guy had a broken hand for the last five games, and this guy had two torn acl's in his left knee.....
least he could do is just say we ran into a "hot goalie" again?

Same. Travel is stupid in the Big Sky and most of the schools are kind of pathetic. Would suck to leave the Montana's, but that is all we would be missing. Imagine the savings in travel budget being spent on coaching....
i kinda agree a little bit but they suck less than the suckier ones in the ncc 2.1....
-
Enjoy watching your coaches leave for jobs at the other Dakota schools then.
the odds of und leaving/moving to follow the ndac is quite slim...it is more likely the other way around...
-
Once again more talk about a couple of schools (Indiana schools) potentially leaving the Summit. Would UND consider joining the Summit if the MVFC made an offer to UND for football as well? What does everyone think?
I sure hope NOT!
-
Well, we did have this photo evidence for both of you:
did al really get kicked out or are people joking?

Let's be honest about it, the last half of the year DeRouen played terrible. He was constantly in foul trouble, made bad decisions, turned it over, and couldn't shoot worth a lick. Tyler wasn't much better. When he got in a groove he could hit some shots but he missed way too many when we needed him, also made bad choices and had way to many turnovers. With Hooker and the new players we will be better and maybe a lot better.
YES! very sloppy with the ball at times...was hoping it was rust from sitting a year and was looking forward to seeing him play off the bench next year but whatever....terrell---could care less...consensus was he has bball potential but by this time in your life you gotta look in the mirror.

I have a feeling that Jewels is more banged up than anyone is letting on...
withing 24 hours of the sioux losing this weekend or the next hadju will release his annual knicked up/broken/bruised hak excuse list....FIRCA be damed...
-
so can some let us know who is actually leaving?
-
Just be glad we don't have Blais running the show--his team collapsed down the stretch and couldn't even get his boys into the dance in Mpls. Sandelin was no better.
We could go after Eaves. He's won a banner, so he's the kind of coach we need.
i would take bennett over eaves any day
-
Wait, so your idea to fix the coaching is to replace Hakstol with his assistants, either new or old? Haha. Yeah, I'm just going to ignore you from now on.
just like how bubba is gonna bring und football back to where it belongs i think eades would do the same thing..they both bleed green and they are WINNERS and that is contagious...hak is on a 20 plus year losing streak and counting....

That's three, not a couple. And "a couple" of those listed won't ever coach in Grand Forks. One has already been discussed ad nauseam here.
so if hak and co win it all this year and he leaves for the riches of the nhl and faison offers the head job to brad berry he would say "no thanks?"
yeah right

Who would be you're recommendation as a replacement? An honest to god option? I hate reading this type of stuff. Never missed the tournament. No losing seasons. Never less than twenty wins. Count me in the group that would much rather be in the hunt every year, than win one, and have a decade of mediocrity following.
eades
bennett
berry
to name a couple

Save yourself the misery that you have predicted then, stop watching. Just don't jump back on after we hang #8.
i just don't see "hanging #8" til we get a coach that has an ability to change, adapt, or grow as a coach

Why do you even waste your time, then? Seriously.
after 11 years of this i'm starting to wonder myself...
