If this had been circulated like the Blackhawks logo, Roughriders might have had a chance against being the 43rd Hawks.
-
has as good of a chance as this
-
How long has it been since Montana, Montana State and Eastern Washington were all out of the playoffs? Maybe the sun comes up in the west that morning.
-
yeah....... No. Sundogs is already out.
-
If only the results here are/were reflective of a shift in the actual vote. 85% - 15% after 24 hours...
-
So that's the background for the Wolves nickname! takes me back to simpler times...

Great sweep over Idaho tonight!

out of curiosity, I ran the numbers of both votes against the finalists... in the first vote, out of the votes cast for the 3 semi-finalists, the percentages were within a couple points of where they ended up in the runoff vote: 43% Fighting Hawks 29% Roughriders 28% Nodaks. Then if you cut that to only the voters who voted for either Hawks or Roughriders, it comes to to: 60% Fighting Hawks 40% Roughriders. If you consider only the votes cast for the two finalists during the runoff, it came out to: 62% Fighting Hawks 38% Roughriders. Even though there were thousands more voters, the percentages stayed relatively consistent. so, my conclusion is that there will have to be a monumental shift of voters OR a huge influx of new voters to defeat Fighting Hawks. Oh F'Hawk.

145 votes this time vs 241. Approx 60% of the original exit poll. Will the actual vote also see the same decline? Which nickname will suffer from the largest drop off? Which one will benefit? Since the vote closes at noon, will the results be made public by close of business today?

tnt has a valid point. Roughriders has been my first choice through this whole process. I don't think I'm the only one. Unlike Nodak supporters who were Fighting Sioux (despite potential sanctions) forever, than only North Dakota, and now Nodak. And on top of that, many Nodak supporters want it only temporarily, so that yet another name can be selected. That sounds like a great plan, let's let this hang over UND's head for another 10 years.

there might be a reason for that... see thread title.

Hope everyone that voted for Roughriders returns and votes again. Voter fatigue will take a toll on turnout, as will apathy as many favorites have been eliminated already. Expect that the students will again vote for Fighting Hawks, despite efforts to educate them about the lack of originality and the logo passed around last month net being the real replacement logo. Still cannot wrap my head around the Nodaks moniker. Just feels wrong. I think Petey is misguided, and this nickname will be with UND for a long time, so please think about that when you cast your vote. While Nodaks may be a shortened version of remaining North Dakota, it doesn't sound right as a permanent nickname for the flagship school of the state. As has been posted before, it's ok for a North Dakota based insurance company (who by the way sponsors Bison broadcasts, while Farmer's Union Insurance sponsors UND, iirc), an electric co-op or a retail hardware store, it just doesn't fit for the permanent nickname of UND. Generic bird nicknames don't reflect strongly for a flagship school, either, so might have a tough time if there is yet another round, and may become another victim of voter fatigue if Rouhriders is eliminated this round.

Kelly will have retired by the time a new logo is commissioned. On the other hand, pretty sure Faison will still be at UND.

Y'all are applying 21st century political correctness to this process (as you are with some of the quotes attributed to TR). Wild game trophy hunting was not considered to be a negative circa 1900. Political correctness is what got us into this mess in the first place, and now you are aligning with the PC crowd in your arguments. Edit: if you deer hunt for that trophy buck, you aren't trying to get the tasty meat, those big guys are not tasty.

50% to win, or there will be a runoff between 2...
zonadub replied to Hayduke's topic in UND Nickname
The apathy/disillusionment rate concerns me. Which of the names will lose the most support? Either by apathy or being disenfranchised by their favorite name already being eliminated or just being tired of the drawn out process. I wonder if that is part of the strategy to get F'Hawks to come out on top. If the poll on this forum is an indication, there may only be half the votes cast as there was in the first round. If that is the case, if enough supporters of any of the 3 remaining names stay the course, it may very well win the 50% required to be the next nickname this round. The comforting thought about this is that Roughriders has polled the best here, so hoping that translates into more apathy in the Nodaks and F'Hawks camps and allows this stupid process to end this week with the selection of Roughriders as the new UND nickname. Go 'Ridas! -
I am begging you... Please do not do that. agree that this is a mess, but don't compound the problem and allow Kelly's manipulation to change what the runoff candidates should be, based on the result based on the original vote

my $$ is on lower

They're educators... They gotta grade on the curve.

While I am on your side wanting Roughriders, I tend to agree with these posters that you are teetering on the edge of pissing them off. Ask the Nodak voters to join us, but your real target should be the North Stars and Sundog people. They are the ones whose favorite candidate lost and have the swing votes going forward. If you can get, let's say, 75% of them to vote Roughriders and swing some Nodak'ers, that should put 'ridas ahead of Hawks. Just my my two cents.

if his concentration and/or performance is being impacted by his personal situation, maybe a leave of absence should be considered. (Good) Personnel and play calling need full attention.
-
good luck with that.
-
something seriously wrong if this is true.
-
Was there a Sioux, Cherokee, Arikara, Hidatsa, Mandan, or any other tribal chief named "Fighting Hawk"? it may not be as politically correct as people are assuming.

start with the horse head and color in the mane...

Or Vs. Vs. Yes, I know only the interlocked ND is owned by UND but the others can be modified.
