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)....

that's what ndac fans said from about 1990 til 2011...

undefeated---no gameday coming back---not anytime soon starting qb---out home win streak---currently at 0 as gfhockey would ask.....bring back bohl?

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.
