some states it just works better with. Illinois Illini and Utah Utes seems to work well for them. Maryland Marys or West Virginia Virgins probably wouldn't pass, though. Nodaks has worked for UND in the past. It leaves open a lot of possibilities when it comes to mascots and themes. I was leaning Fighting Hawks with Nodaks as my second choice, but with the support it sounds like Nodaks is gathering, i'll be voting Nodaks.
