I'm talking more about the consultants....the people who typically cost big bucks with little results. I work in the banking industry and we have to use consultants all the time. They are hit or miss. They come in preaching the world but when you look back at their body of work it is usually average at best.

Agree 100%. They are spending all this $ (like it grows on trees) only to potentially lift the local high school's name. I like the name but I think that is what's bugging me the most. Anyone have a total related to the spend on this project so far?

Ha, maybe.

I actually didn't find it that hard to say.

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.
