  1. I kind of hope you are wrong about this. I hope that n matter what name and eventual logo are decided on, that ALL UND fans will support the University, it's athletic teams and it's new identity by purchasing merchandise with the new name and logo. If this happens, then your statement will prove to be wrong and the merchandise sold meets and exceeds Sioux merchandise.
  2. Including the description on the picture and the headline, The article referred to to them as Roughriders 1 time, Riders 1 time, and Red River 11 times. Pretty apparent how the Herald identifies Red River as looking at this article (well at least Tom). Red River Riders UND Roughriders
  3. So when I am decked out in my green and white Roughrider gear and tell someone that I am going to the Roughrider game tonight, is the person going wonder if I am talking about UND or Red River? NO!! Because the colors and the logo will be different. If they can get away with it in Ames, I think we can do it in Grand Forks.
  4. Didn't the administration at RRHS say that they supported UND choosing Roughriders if that is the name that was selected?
  5. Nodaks - The 3rd best name as voted by UND stakeholders!!!
  6. Red River High School "Riders" University of North Dakota" Roughriders" Problem solved!!
  7. The logo is going to make a huge difference on how accepted the new name is. With Fighting Hawks, you pretty much know what you are going to get. Roughriders leaves a little bit to the imagination as it could be Teddy, a horse, or just a random guy on a horse. Not you could say that Nodaks has endless logo possibilities. But, is that a good thing? A vote for Fighting Hawks gives you a different version of a bird mascot used everywhere. Roughriders gives you a few different options. Nodaks, you have no idea what a logo will look like.
  8. Hate to state the obvious, but the name that is chosen between these 3 will be the name that UND will be known as. They are not going to repeat this process again because people refuse to transition, or are to stubborn to accept change. Hate the names, hate the process, hate the reason we are going through this whole process, but this name is going to be the name for a very long time. That is why everyone that votes must really look at all 3 names and decide on a name that is best for UND.
  9. Kelley likes Fighting Hawks. Students hate Kelley. Students vote against Fighting Hawks and in favor of Nodaks or Roughriders.
  10. Better version. Let's make this go viral!!
  11. Voter turnout....will it be more this time around or about the same??
  12. Thank you Jesus!! Nice work to all who emailed. It obviously worked.
  13. The "Nokota is to similar to Nakota" justification was just so lame. Did they think the NCAA was going to have issues with it? UND: "We have picked the Fighting Nokota as our new nickname" NCAA: "Isn't Nokota a native american tribe?" UND: "Nope. You are thinking of Nakota. It's not the same. Spelled different too. A Nokota is actually a horse" NCAA:" Oh, so its a horse and not anything native american? Ok. all good. We approve."
  14. So I guess we can all vote Roughriders for UND's new name since there will no longer be a high school with the same nickname anymore!!
  15. Kelley has changed his mind on what name he is rigging the election for almost as many times as he has changed the process to rig the election!!
  16. But what would the new Grand Forks High School nickname be?!! Let the debate begin!!
  17. Nodaks has now become the Ross Perot of nickname candidates!!
