    he is sort of a rebel; I notice his ear isn't even a grounded outlet. that, my friends, is Badass. go Nodaks! or Fighting Hawks! #anythingbutroughriders

    The first exit poll was not even close to being a representation of the overall UND general public, so my guess is a lot of us just haven't bothered to complete this poll. And besides, until our votes sell on Craigslist, we really don't know what name our vote will be cast for.

    How about Fighting Hamsters?

    If Roughriders is chosen, i'll keep my beverages cold in Roughrider Candoms. Those should be good sellers.

    I hear there's a middle school nearby with the same nickname, so it all makes sense. **

    Paul Allen is that you?

    Do we really need a cheerleading thread? Holy crap batman. How about "Roughriders yeah yeah! Yeah Roughriders Roughriders!" man, that just rolls right off the tongue. I believe the point several others were making is, t-shirts and yelling "proper" terminology aren't the only way to support the university. IMO they rank near the bottom.

    good post. Any other opinion is just biased conjecture.

    by your logic, a condom's a condom. #RollRubbers!

    If my grandpa's name was the 4th option for UND, i'd probably vote for it.
  12. Siouxphan27
    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.

    my question is, which one of those two is darell1976?

    I'll have to wait until my vote sells on Craigslist before I respond to this poll. ***
  16. Siouxphan27
    exactly right. these polls are interesting, but ultimately meaningless. We are the lunatic fringe.

    absentee. :-)

    KVLY just mentioned people are trying to sell their votes on Craigslist. Wow. I wonder if the gobc will purchase them.
  19. Siouxphan27
    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....
  20. Siouxphan27
    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.
  21. Siouxphan27
    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.
  23. Siouxphan27
    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.
  25. Siouxphan27
    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.
