SIOUXFAN97

lets say that nodaks wins...Kelly might want to make the losers that voted for the other names feel warm in side and incorporates the fighting hawks and sundogs into the nodak name....a sundog (three suns) and a north star (think three suns and one star!!) with a hawk flying through the air...it would be enough to make tom dennis cry for a week thinking how beautiful and inclusive that logo would be

yep...

sub islanders for nodaks...sub a snow shovel for the hockey stick and put a dip in his lip and you gotta a nodak logo?

sub uh for und and you maybe have your nodak logo? you guys okay with that? if so keep voting nodaks....

about 99% sure that if RR wins the logo will western themed...a cowboy, a horse, teddy...problem with nodak its really really open to interpretation...a nodak could be a rainbow, an owl, a train, a hick in overalls with a big dip in....it is whatever that person wants it to be who is makingthe logo...

a little overreaction maybe!!! somehow UND is above having one of their state nicknames for their flagship university....a couple dozen or so other schools have chosen their state nicknames and it has worked out quite well for them....we have a chance to have a unique nickname to D1 schools but we want to go back to something that other schools and college gameday will/have had a fun time making fun of the hicks/nodaks from north Dakota!

military nostalgia is something I won't apologize for...part of liking the RR/teddy is the military aspect. if we go with the Marlboro man for the logo that's fine...a horse I;m fine with. if we have teddy then we are HONORING him and the military as a whole. I'm just poking fun at the people that got warm and fuzzy when brad s. posted a pic of a 5'10 155lbs offensive lineman from the1922 football posing in a nodak jersey.

for the nostalgic ones voting for fighting hawks and nodaks i expect you to be right on the banks of the english coulee when the may fete comes back to campus..and i expect brad s. to report on it and report back how many current hockey players were in attendance.

probably because they picked a garbage nickname to replace the warriors....if we do the same we will be just like marquette. there was a reason why flickertails and nodaks were replaced. this nostalgia stuff is for losers.

fixed

fixed it for you

anyone know how this goes...will und/qualtranics update how many votes have been cast each day (assuming they won't release which one is in the lead during the week) and when would we know if one reached 50%???

I guess I never noticed that the endzones were blank...in a couple weeks they could fill the north one with either fighting/rough and the south one with nodaks/riders???

I think it is a good sign that RR is that much ahead...there seems to be a lot of RRHS and Central alums on this site which could sway people one way or ther other on RR...I think once you get out of gf and especially west they will go hard RR...

on brads blog I told him to send over a reporter to RRHS and ask around to find someone offended (shouldn't be that hard)...once this nickname thing at und is done maybe they will start stiring the pot over there...

I think the RR people haven't wavered at all from the time the final five were released and the feeble minded people that are swayed by hack jobs and the twitterverse have swayed from YEAH North Stars to WHOA look at that hawk logo lets go Fighting Hawks to okay the heraldo wants the nodaks so YEAH NODAKS!

nice catch...anyone talked to swimming and diving or the golf team?

fact?

yes it was a on random sports webpage but I'm guessing there are a few alumni and whatnot that haven't paid too much attention to this but still registered and their first time seeing the five options were recently and you would think that roughriders would stick out among the five as a suitable nickname for the flagship

siouxvolley did a poll on a different website and RR came out the winner with more than 50%...

voted for RR....added another RR vote for my dad (not reflected above)

yeah why

check out brad schlossmans hack piece pretty much calling teddy roosevelt a bigot and racist...start with that article

before anyone votes tomorrow i hope they ask themselves which of these five will make und the most $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ for all of our d1 teams...not the one that sticks it to the ncaa, not one gives you a warm nostalgic feeling inside, not the one that makes tom dennis/shakespeare cry....the one that makes und the most money to fund our team going forward.
