Honesty who cares...we don't even play against them. They chose to not bring the nickname back. But again I like that other guys idea about Nordic stars or some other form of stars.

Haha I disagree. Again I was simply spitting out a few nicknames. Sun dogs? Are you kidding me? I liked your Nordic Stars idea...not sure what it is but it has a decent ring to it. Or some other form of stars.

Haha believe me , this forum is a very very very small population. Definitely not representative.

Agreed, I wouldn't want to be. I think you've sat on this thread to long, you seem a tad aggressive.

Nordic stars...you see what I mean. This shouldn't be that hard. I like that one.

Ice, blizzard, clippers, sugar kings, harvesters, Mulies (or something related to deer or mule deer). I can't believe some of the names we're left with. I know the nicknames I just referenced aren't that good but it took me 30 seconds to think of.

4 pts/16 games.....averaged over a pt per in the dub.

I don't know, MSU seems to rep Keith, although their situations were slightly different.

I had to get out of the nickname thread...talk about banging your head against the wall. Either way former/current players on this listing. Good to see Zane at the top in Boston. http://www.thehockeynews.com/blog/ryan-kennedys-prospect-of-the-year-for-all-30-nhl-teams/

That's so odd, all my buddies say Nodak or Nodaks. I wouldn't want that nickname though.

I strongly doubt that. Are you talking about the people on the forum or the people that really matter...the one's back home calling the shots, the people on the committee? I have heard first hand there were concerns with RR already having that nickname.

Yup. Go to the initial post. The OP was saying more likely than not someone in Bismark (that I would assume knows sports) would not know RR's nickname. I simply doubted that. My cousins live there, they know RR's nickname. In all honestly I'm giving up on this debate, Roughriders is silly to me but if that's what the nickname is, so be it. It doesn't alter my alliance.

Substance over form.

Nope iron range. Fargo North and Wahpeton were not part of the initial statement

What? Went to rr and had tons of buddies at central....that's a new one to me.

I'm strongly guessing it ends with no nickname and we remain North Dakota. The remaining nicknames are so bad that they'll have to stay with und. There are so many bigtime alumni wanting to keep it ND.

I doubt it.

Guy next to me at work (from norther MN) knew of Red River and that they were the Rough Riders. To say someone from Bismarck (that pays attention to sports) does not know RR is the rough riders is a stretch.

I know talk about professionalism. My father and I were discussing that same topic last weekend.

Can we get a redo? Let's start over

Sun Dogs - over everyone's head. Green Hawks - copying black hawks Pride/Spirit - WNBA sounding

Yeah

Haha I was simply stating you don't have to have one specific color.

I get what your saying and somewhat agree with you however the rough riders is simply lifting the nickname off a local high high school...pretty original. How much money has been spend on this? In full disclosure I'm in the North Dakota only grouping but I am starting to look at some of the other names as options if we're forced to choose one. I can't believe the listing were left with. So poorly managed. Last summer one of the committee members threw out prairie wolves ....doesn't sound so bad now.

Agreed.
