    It find it absolutely amazing that a name with the word Fighting in front of it has a good chance to be UND's new nickname. What do you think is going to happen at the Ralph when Looker gets on the PA and says "Here comes the University of North Dakota Fighting...........Hawks" Will all these students that voted for Hawks yell Hawks or maybe yell something else?!

    Notre dame will get full support from a majority of Irish people. UND will gain approval from only one species of hawk, but will not gain approval from all species of hawks as laid out in the settlement with the NCAA. The "Fighting" will be dropped and a committee will be formed to come up with an adjective that is unique that fans can take a sense of pride in. Of course there will be those that want to just be known as just "The" but will be told by many that "The" is not an advective. Names of adjectives will be submitted and will eventually be narrowed down to 2 names that are less then appealing. A final vote will then be made to be the Peaceful Hawks or the Smooth Driving Hawks. Unfortunately the Peaceful Hawks logo going around is probably not available!!

    Not showing up to non hockey UND sporting events, holding up stupid signs at a hockey game, voting for a generic nickname based on a logo that will never be used.....Students sure are on a great run right now!!

    The Herald/WDAZ/KVLY/all media etx really have done a piss poor job in putting the truth out there about the hawk logo going around. They need to do their job and report that no logos have been submitted for any name and that the hawk logo in question is absolutely 100% NOT going to be the logo if HAwks is selected. We live in a world of uninformed naive people out there. Truth needs to be told. Heck, if Schlossman would jsut tweet out the correct info about that logo more people would know!!

    In the absence of no nickname, reverting back to the old name is expected. when a new name is selected, I am hopeful that all will transition to supporting UND teams using the new name. And that includes student athletes as well. Obviously not going to happen overnight, but it will happen.

    Yell Sioux at the end of the anthem if you want. That doesn't bother me much. I am referring to the rest of games, in all sports, referring to the teams as the Sioux. Sure you can honor the past by yelling Sioux at the end of the anthem, but the players that you will be cheering for have never been a Sioux. they will only have been known by the new nickname. Honor the past, but when cheering for UND in the future, use the new name and wear te new logo. that's all I ask.

    Being proud to be known as the Fighting Sioux and always honoring and remembering that tradition is one thing. But there are people that will refuse to move on and acknowledge the new nickname that UND will adopt and will wear Fighting Sioux apparel and yell "Sioux" at games many years after a new name is selected. Those are the "Fighting Sioux Forever" fans that people are upset with.

    The fact that the Alerus Center thought it was a better idea to put 2 big Alerus Center logos at midfield on the new turf instead of the interlocking ND logo really shows their their lack of effort to make the Alerus Center to home of UND football.

    Looking forward to purchasing a new UND Roughriders jersey!!!
  11. Siouxperfan7
    There will come a time in the very near future where UND teams will be known by a new name. Fans can choose to do a few things when cheering for them. COntinue to support the old name, support the new name, or neither. Hypothetical question....what do you think is the best way to go about cheering for our teams and athletes at UND?
  12. Siouxperfan7
    I guess you have every right to not support a new name and logo and just sit in the stands and yell "Go UND", "Go North Dakota", or be really stubborn and yell "Go Sioux". You have the right to do so. But the rest of us will accept the change and support the so called "Moronic logo/nickname" that the athleletes we are cheering for are wearing.
  13. Siouxperfan7
    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.

    Nothing wrong with having a beer or 4 at lunch!!

    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
  16. Siouxperfan7
    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.
  17. Siouxperfan7
    Didn't the administration at RRHS say that they supported UND choosing Roughriders if that is the name that was selected?
  18. Siouxperfan7
    Nodaks - The 3rd best name as voted by UND stakeholders!!!
  19. Siouxperfan7
    Red River High School "Riders" University of North Dakota" Roughriders" Problem solved!!
  20. Siouxperfan7
    So...basically your profile picture!!

    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.

    Round 2 of voting. How did you vote?
  23. Siouxperfan7
    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.
  24. Siouxperfan7
    Kelley likes Fighting Hawks. Students hate Kelley. Students vote against Fighting Hawks and in favor of Nodaks or Roughriders.
  25. Siouxperfan7
    Is that confirmed?
