SIOUXFAN97

und had more fans from at a regular season hockey game against notre dame in the little city of grand forks than the ndac had in the big city fago for their first home playoff game in nearly half a century a couple years ago...12k reported (wday remember) attendance at the dome when it is more like 10k...or less

because its hard to have those logos if its the RR (western theme) or FH (nature theme) or NS(more than likely the old ns logo...tweaked or not) .... if its the nodaks its up to whomever its up to to decide and i don't trust people like tom dennis, pres kelly, or 99 percent of the other pc libs in higher education....

i don't need a link...let's put it this way...for every chevy, gmc, or ford pickup you see in north dakota count that as a person that would buy roughrider gear....for every prius or range rover count that as a sundog gear....a good safe nostalgic chevy impala would be nodak gear...a good mpg car for students like a ford focus or honda civic would be fighting hawk gear....and a nice fancy upscale bloomington, minnesota car like a porshe would be north star gear.... i would say there are more pickups in nd than the others combined...there you go.

ask the swimming and diving teams in a couple of months if "finances" have hurt them...

because these are potential logos for the nodaks...

or this guy...

i definitely would buy a t shirt with a picture of teddy or a cowboy on it than this...

pretty much

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????????
