Very true. I still lean more towards ND, NS (or some variation of Stars), or Nodaks.

To be honest, neither does Rough Riders. It meets some of the criteria but not being unique. RR, Cedar Rapids, Saskatchewan., etc. Point being that none of the nicknames meet the criteria listed.

If I looked at that correctly, only Fighting Hawks and Nodaks had no negatives. There you go.

You are absolutely correct. I have been pretty outspoken with the Rough Rider nickname solely on the points you made in your post. However, I could definitely live with that nickname if ND, NS, and Nodaks are not one of the finalists. And I wouldn't complain, I'd jump on the bandwagon instantly.

Crawford played awesome tonight; what a great turnaround from the Nashville series.

New age dynasty

Wow, I apologize.

Not that old. Makes sense though.

Ok makes sense, why not any other MN teams?

I am fine with all remaining names other than sun dogs however MN has chose not to use north stars for any of there sports teams. When they added the Wild a while back they chose not to go back to the NS. If it was so important why haven't they went back to that name? It is a superior nam, you're right. I don't think we disqualify it simply because a state has it as their motto. Other teams use rough riders even though it is supposedly ours. I'm just playing devils advocate a bit here.

You do realize which poster you are referring to right? So 'you guys' makes no sense.

?? Are you reading my post right?

They have to be easy with that one. #panicinthestreets

Ok I could live with all but Sundogs. Both Hawks names just don't seem right for some reason.

Ditto, and pride.

No clue...mind blowing.

Those names aren't winning. North Dakota, nodaks or north stars. My guess.

Haha

Explorers gone....goon was on that one

South or north?

I see that.

Haha no way.

So odd, I was with a gf guy last weekend who thought nodaks would be a front runner. Pretty connected, im guessing he knows a committee member. I was shocked I never thought that would go too far.

Red just lost another recruit (Sam Miletic). College hockey has taken a hit the last two weeks.

Haha, no.
