Nobody anywhere has the name Nodaks! Hawks and RR on the other hand...... Go Nodaks!

100% agree!

If you don't switch votes now, Nodak may not make it to the Third vote. Just vote how you want people!

I have no problem admitting my choice came in third. If Kelley would have allowed only 2 names on the ballot, I would have chosen one of those 2. Since he is allowing 3, I will "man up" and choose the name I want Nodaks! I wouldn't be surprised if none of these names lasts. This process is doing nothing but dividing the fan base!

I second that!

I agree. I voted Nodaks, but I think Kelley should have stayed with the process he originally laid out. Since he didn't, why shouldn't I vote for the name I want- Nodaks.

I'm voting Nodaks. I can't support the same name as a HS down the road, which I graduated from. Talk about unoriginal. This whole mess is so disappointing! IMO There would not have been this kind of devisiveness had ND been on the ballot. what a S-show!

d a co-worker tell me why she was hoping Fighting Hawks would win. Reason number one: This logo. Reason number two: Fans could shout Fighting Sioux, when Announcer says Fighting Hawks. You just stated the only 2 reasons I could live with FH if it can't be Nodak.

Just got an email back from Peter Johnson. I said that the winner should have 50%. If not, there should be another vote.

I don't really think many Alumni will vote on the name that will make UND money, I don't think that's a big consideration. As far as a name we can be proud of..........that ship has sailed!

What do you exactly base this on? Do you have a crystal ball? Seriously, how do you know which name the FH or NS voters will choose?

Well said!

What's a good pre game bar in Bemidji?

So true! The vast majority are still Sioux supporters. We can embrace both the past and the present.

I got my email and had a pit in my stomach. As 50+ born and raised in Grand forks, I can't believe it's actually happening. I always had hope. I plan to wear black to work that whole week...

If "Fighting" can be add to Sioux, why couldn't it be added to Nodaks. If Fighting Nodaks were the option, I think it would win.

2 for Nodaks

If that were the logo, Fighting Hawks would get my vote!

YES!!!!! Sorry, most of us feel that way or it wouldn't have been submitted over 1000 times! We have to move on but we don't have to like it!

HALLELUIA!,,

I won't be voting for any of them, because I couldn't live with myself knowing a had a part of picking a nickname not worthy of UND. They all stink!

PERFECT!!! Hahahah!!!

Haha!

I honestly didn't even pay attention to the list, because I was all North Dakota. We were never told at the get go it wasn't an option until it was removed in the last round. If it had been removed initially, I would have been more invested. I know I'm not the only one that feels that way. I like the idea of something aerospace related, since we are such a big aerospace school. I seriously refuse to buy anything Sundog related. That's just embarrassing!

That may be so, but do you really think that these 5 are the best we can do? If they would have axed North Dakota right away instead of handling it the way they did, the sentiment would be a lot different IMO. As A No-nickname supporter, i feel deceived. They kept dangling the carrot when they really had no intention of letting it on the ballot. If I knew from the get go that ND was not an option, I would have felt different. The committee and Kelley has created the divide in the way this was handled. They want people to rally behind a nickname? That's not the way to do it. People are ticked and they can look in the mirror for that. I love my University and I we need a new nickname. I don't feel any of these 5 are worthy.
