very true. you are about the only Roughrider supporter who posts that doesn't call people who have voted for other options uninformed morons.
-
there may be some Fighting Hawk voters that think the exact Blackhawk logo could be used.... but I also wonder how many people voted for Roughriders based on logos that cannot be used. Or how many chose Roughriders because they think TR's Roughriders were somehow affiliated with North Dakota. Regardless, the votes don't lie. I'm confident a unique logo can be designed, and it will help people rally behind the UND Fighting Hawks.
-
Exactly. a lot of people seem to be having a hard time grasping the reality that Roughriders is not nearly popular enough to win.
-
exactly. I made this same point a couple weeks ago. both nodaks and roughriders sounded ancient to the students. and no- buckeyes, hoosiers, etc. would never garner student support if they were to vote today.
-
let's not lump everyone together that voted a certain way. I voted Nodaks, but will move on and will now be voting Fighting Hawks. Go Hawks!
-
I don't think that dude does his homework. if 4 big sky teams gets in, I think we'll be in with two more wins. we will benefit from everyone else who sits ahead of us in the standings playing other teams above us in the standings over the next two weeks.
-
a lot of us who did not vote for Roughriders did so based on entirely different reasoning. there were several reasons not to vote for Roughriders, just as there were several reasons against any other name. I've never bought into the made-up history purported by the ND Tourism Dept. involving the Roughriders. And it appears i'm not alone in that line of thinking.
-
I don't think any more than the number of people who think any of the already in-use Roughriders logos floating around could be used.
-
the writing was pretty much on the wall after the first round. Hawks dominated, getting 50% more votes than any other choice. Hawks gained twice the support percentage-wise than either roughriders or nodaks did in this go-round. as ol' Hank would say, It's All Over But the Crying.
-
very true, that will be a definite plus if we can get in.
-
Good point on Idaho State. And the Weber game, too. If we do not make the playoffs, those are the two we have to look back on as the ones that got away. I just feel the ndsu game didn't benefit the team in terms of experience as much as it hurt our playoff chances.
-
I'm almost ashamed at how much Seinfeld still enters my mind for practically any situation. all the talk about the screw up of the runoff reminded me of jerry and Kramer talking about tax write-offs. We could substitute peter Johnson and Robert Kelly for Kramer and jerry and the word "write-off" with "runoff" in that scene and it would've played out almost perfectly.
-
I'm sure i'll get thumbs down for this. But, the obsession to play ndsu again may end up costing us more than the raw deal we got in the contract. Play another Drake this year, and we're sitting in pretty good shape with two weeks left. Then, win one playoff game, and we'd be playing ndsu anyway. That said, if we win out and 4 Big Sky teams make the playoffs, we're in.

I was talking with that 5th dentist we've all been wondering about. Turns out he has joined the other 4 in preferring either Nodaks or Fighting Hawks over Roughriders. #anythingbutroughriders
-
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.
