you can talk all you want about why what and when but for smallish schools like und to be competitive on the field you need cash...merchandising is a big part in cash coming into the athletic department. having a marketable nickname, logo, and mascot will make more money which in turn funds schollies and coaches salaries and equipment.... University of North Dakota Roughriders will make und more money than all the rest combined...by far

once again voting to stick it to the man (ncaa) instead of what's best for und......great

"we are gonna put all our effort into making this football program the best FCS football team in whole GD country in the next ten years so help me god" said no AD in the country in the last ten years except the AD at the NDAC congrats to you...you did but when you got to the top of the mountain there wasnt anyone looking up at you because they were looking down at you from the next mountain over called Mt. FBS.

talked to a student working at sams club and he was wearing a sioux jersey and asked him if he has voted yet...he said not yet but when he does it will probably be RR because the historical ties to teddy....i told him good make sure you vote but don't let your fellow students vote for nodiks...he laughed and said that almost all of his student friends have or will be voting for fighting hawks???

very bold...very

no but most of my ndac and goofer fans are....

like i said i'm getting priming myself for when my ndac friends ask "how are your nodiks doing these days"....just getting ready in case....

does this happen at RRHS (younger crowd) or at Saskatewhan RR games (older crowd)???? didn't think so...stop parroting the herald.

I'm just downplaying how much sway the current students have...there are obviously a lot more alumni out there and they will vote for the nickname that will be something we can be proud of and will make UND $$$$$$$$$$$$$$...not swayed by brad berry, brad s, tom dennis, or anyone else...they (i) will vote/d on what is best for und not a stick it to the man vote or the trendy name trending on twitter...

I disagree...I think the student vote is so small versus the alumni vote...the same 2000 students that go to games will care...will they vote? maybe half...almost all alumni I have talked to have registered to vote and 2-1 say RR v nodiks

im just saying that I was thinking that this poll would be a very pro-hockey so I was thinking that nodiks would be over 50% but those pro-hockey people that still think that hawk logo will be used is siphoning off more votes than I tought from nodiks...heck even the sundogs have passed the north stars...never would have guessed that...

just trying to get everyone ready to see the word nodiks everywhere if nodaks wins...

still don't think its looking good for the nodiks crowd based on the above small sample...first this is a very pro-hockey message board and second because of the GFC/RRHS connections on this board...thinking that RR is doing okay.

someone in tempe, az must have heard something about d1 hockey to invest millions....millions!

fixed it for ya

name one big10 or acc school in fcs????????

he had multiple concussions in high school

pretty sure most of those bottom feeders somehow made the playoffs and played the ndac in the dome during their historic run????

not their names but their BUDGETS Minny's stick budget is proably close to woffords whole football budget...

I don't think an ankle or wrist injury is any concern to him...yes he is a pro prospect but his also 6'5" 230 with a history of concussions...he will get hit and hit harder than any wimpy strong safety from western Illinois could ever dream of hitting him at the next level...

when those schools are let's see....minnesota, notre dame, boston college, Michigan, yale, or Denver versus Wofford, coastal Carolina, Robert morris, Richmond, or northern iowa I would say yes.

im sure that's what a lot of islander fans thought when it was pre-released...just ask mike milbury what he thought of it...or on second thougth don't!!

you could save some money by buying either a nodak mutual insurance shirt, a nodak cab shirt, or a nodak electric cooperative hoodie, nodak outdoors hockey jersey, nodak records hat, or a nodak angler winter gloves?

imo an fcs football championship is probably the easiest "title" to win...especially in the current state of fcs football (all the big dogs took their balls and went fbs)....
