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.

Kfan mocking us....makes sense though.

Internet funny guy...I get it.

Dallas Stars, Lincoln stars....neither of which have the color yellow. I was just curious about your statement, your were stating it as fact that we would have to change our school colors and you were a tad off course. We pretty much have the same colors as the Dallas Stars. The remainder of your previous post made little sense.

Why would you need yellow for North Stars?

Might look kind of funny to the locals. You seem like a nice guy.

So are we going to have a different logo than Red River...but the same name?

Absolutely.

I obviously understand that. But I am from that area so it seems funny to me. As you are most likely not from there I understand your point of view as well. This is simply my point of view.

http://www.smargon.net/nicknames/ Is this right?

Really, I shouldn't have stated that as fact as I was listening to an open conversation between some people and there was 2-3 direct schools mentioned. I should have remembered them.

I like the North Star name a little bit. Yes, it is MN's motto but no one truly pays attention to that (may some old timers ) It is a pretty cool nickname that is currently not used. I know some other GF people are warming up to it however North Dakota is still a strong first. In full disclosure, I do not like the RR idea as our local high school has had that for a long time now, however, if that was chosen it wouldn't be the end of the world for me. I just like ND and NS slightly more.

Not true...I believe there are three other schools with no formal nickname.

Exactly

Couldn't hold back could you?
