good post. Any other opinion is just biased conjecture.

If my grandpa's name was the 4th option for UND, i'd probably vote for it.

But put the hick/rube on a horse, and suddenly it's a roughrider, which is totally badass, right? Both nicknames are ancient in the eyes of the youth, which is a big factor in why Fighting Hawks dominated the first vote and will probably win.

only in America! yeah i hope everyone can come together quickly after this. hopefully our teams will keep doing well and continue to give us something to cheer about; that will help.

I'll have to wait until my vote sells on Craigslist before I respond to this poll. ***

exactly right. these polls are interesting, but ultimately meaningless. We are the lunatic fringe.

50% to win, or there will be a runoff between 2...

KVLY just mentioned people are trying to sell their votes on Craigslist. Wow. I wonder if the gobc will purchase them. -
but I've learned on this website from Roughrider supporters, Nodaks are strictly old hicks in bib overalls and straw hats..... I never see those dudes downtown at night....

i see what you're saying. But, in this context, it would be the UND teams aka Hawks, fighting as a group.... Nodaks don't traditionally group in packs and fight others, either.
-
they decided a few days ago there will be a third vote if none of the choices receives over 50% in the second round of voting.

When Sweeney speaks at a rate of 11 words per minute, there's a lot of airtime for Coach to fill. He brings a lot of info about the opponents to the discussion which is great. Listening to the away games ive heard, you can tell he wants our players to be successful in the worst possible way. But also tries to be objective and isn't afraid to point out mistakes and what needs to be corrected. He does a great job IMO.

if we're going to use UND to educate people about our area, I'd rather be Nodaks, and educate people about actual North Dakota history. however, I would rather our university concentrate on bragging/educating visitors on all the excellent opportunities UND offers.

I was answering your question regarding a statewide push to get rid of an unofficial state nickname. i agree those states nicknames are well known due in part to their universities. We tried that here. Twice. I don't view it as an obligation to have to try it again.
-
at least here in the eastern part of the state, I hear north Dakota referred to as the roughrider state maybe once a year. I never heard any references to roughriders in my four years at UND. it's an unofficial nickname, and just isn't used enough to bother making any push one way or the other IMO.

MSU 42 UND 31

thanks for sharing the link! there's a lot of Roughrider pride in Arizona and New Mexico.

don't you mean Ducks Eliminated? :-)

Quite the conservationist! Lol. Noah had an ark. Teddy had a shotgun.

I think a lot of people are in "sucks less mode" when deciding how to vote. Maybe the best chance at unifying everyone would be to go with the UND Fighting Sucksless.

I guess the next question would be if the other finalists for michigans new name would include cavalries from half way across the country....
-
if Michigan had an Indian nickname for the past 80 years, and voted for a new name in 2015, I find it highly unlikely Wolverines would be a finalist.
-
Too many degrees of separation to be worthy of being und's nickname IMO.
