Actually didn't they hire consultants whom have done this several times before? I'd think the consultants would have a pretty refined process and could have given a suggestion about declaring beforehand that if second in third are close they will go with three. It should flat out take 50% plus on whatever the final vote is for the new nickname. I think this is absolutely him changing the rules to satisfy Nodak people, and probably to ensure that it ends up being Fighting Hawks. Why a guy heading out the door gets to make this important of a decision is beyond me.

Since the medical redshirt for Joe is not an option, IF he is healthy enough (very close to if not 100%) there is no reason he shouldn't be given a chance. With Bartels play the past two weeks, if Mollberg isn't given a shot it will certainly make me question some things.

Good point, a lot of students are from out of state and had probably never really heard of Roughriders before.

I agree....we need to promote it...it's the best one out of the top two (my personal 1st choice). I saw friends of mine promoting Nodaks on FB all week. I'm for Riders all the way!

Go Riders!!

If they kept it to the top two, and Nodaks was out.....which would you vote for?

I agree.....something just doesn't add up right now.

NC is playing EWU really tough, hope to got we at least beat them so we don't end the year on a 6 game skid.

If we cap off this crappy loss with finding out on Monday we selected Nodaks as our nickname.....might be too much for me to take. In my opinion that nickname is as bad as our secondary.

Bartels actually looked ok on that drive.

I guess I was a little optimistic with my 49-10 final score prediction in the 2nd quarter.

New defensive strategy the rest of the way, just tackle the WR'S before the ball is thrown to minimize it to 5 yard holding penalties.

If only games were 8 minutes long.....we'd be pretty good.

Great, our second best offensive weapon, our punter, is now injured.

Glad I skipped a day of productivity to watch this sh*t show

Our secondary is just what the doctor ordered for a 3rd string first time starter. We are a joke in the secondary.

The guy had two guys all over him, thank goodness he threw it 10 yards over or it woulda been a pick. Triple option teams have a more potent passing attack than we do.....pathetic.

Wow let's just hang it up in the air into triple coverage lol

We are probably all going to be even bigger.....temporary idiots for the next two hours if the game keeps going like this

I wasn't happy the game wasn't streamed online either, but fortunately I found a friend who has direct TV so am watching at their house. It definitely is a well done broadcast, just sucks though if you don't have Root which a lot of people probably don't

Put in somebody who can at least to the QB center exchange better than at a 6th grade level.

I'm not going to lie, I felt before this game.....the way I felt before games when Muss was our coach and we were going to play a touch opponent. First time I felt that way right before a game all season.

3rd dropped snap now....wow

Final score.....49-10?
