  1. Took the long list of logos, found each logo, made a gif. Enjoy, and maybe think about UND's new logo? How bout them hawk logos!?!? CAWWWWW! #SuperUnique #SuperOriginal
  2. You know what gets me really PO'd, what gets me ticked off, cheesed off, miffed, peeved, (other words)? How UConn uses sacred Brass Bonanza as their goal horn. How dare they take that from my defunct Whalers. I'm so miffed.
  3. http://dailycampus.com/stories/2015/10/27/column-uconn-hockey-belongs-in-hartford The second half of that first sentence is open for debate Mr. Madigan. I'm still up to have the Huskies come to town and see a real arena
  4. From that link I navigated to this one which lists schools with bird mascots. He notes at the bottom the most used were hawks and falcons for the same reason (fierce, predator, blah blah bland). I took the liberty of counting ONLY the Hawk, or Hawk related nicknames. I didn't even count the other bird nicknames (Eagles, Ravens, Pelicans, etc.) Here they are, and note that I can't speak to it's accuracy anymore as it was published on 9/13/2006, so take it for what it's worth. Here we go: Dickinson State University (Dickinson, North Dakota) - Blue Hawks Loras College (Dubuque, Iowa) - "Duhawks" (Dubuque Hawks) Hartwick College (Oneonta, New York) - Hawks Hilbert College (Hamburg, New York) - Hawks Hunter College-City University of New York (New York, New York) - Hawks Huntingdon College (Montgomery, Alabama) - Hawks Monmouth University (Monmouth, New Jersey) - Hawks Quincy University (Quincy, Illinois) - Hawks Rockhurst College (Kansas City, Missouri) - Hawks Roger Williams University (Bristol, Rhode Island) - Hawks Saint Anselm College (Manchester, New Hampshire) - Hawks Saint Joseph's University (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) - Hawks San Diego Christian College (El Cajon, California) - Hawks Shorter College (Rome, Georgia) - Hawks State University of New York-College at New Paltz (New Paltz, New York) - Hawks University of Hartford (Hartford, Connecticut) - Hawks University of Maryland-Eastern Shore (Princess Anne, Maryland) - Hawks University of Kansas (Lawrence, Kansas) - Jayhawk Coe College (Cedar Rapids, Iowa) - Kohawks Lehigh University (Bethlehem, Pennsylvania) - Mountain Hawks Thomas College (Thomasville, Georgia) - Nighthawks Indiana University-Northwest (Gary, Indiana) (former nickname: The Blast) - Redhawks Miami University (Oxford, Ohio) (former nickname: Redskins) - Redhawks Seattle University (Seattle, Washington) - Redhawks Southeast Missouri State University (Cape Girardeau, Missouri) (former nicknames: Indians for men and Otahkians for women) - Redhawks LaRoche College (Pittsburgh, Penbnsylvania) - Red Hawks Montclair State University (Upper Montclair, New Jersey) - Red Hawks Ripon College (Ripon, Wisconsin) - Red Hawks University of Massachusetts-Lowell (Lowell, Massachusetts) - River Hawks Illinois Institute of Technology (Chicago, Illinois) - Scarlet Hawks Northwood University (West Palm Beach, Florida) - Seahawks Salve Regina University (Newport, Rhode Island) - Seahawks St. Mary's College of Maryland (St. Mary's City, Maryland) - Seahawks University of North Carolina-Wilmington (North Carolina) - Seahawks Wagner College (Staten Island, New York) - Seahawks Fort Lewis College (Durango, Colorado) - Skyhawks Stonehill College (North Easton, Massachusetts) (former nickname: Chieftains) - Skyhawks University of Tennessee-Martin - Skyhawks Miami University-Middletown (Middletown, Ohio) - Thunderhawks Viterbo University (LaCrosse, Wisconsin) - V-Hawks University of Louisiana-Monroe (Monroe, Louisiana) (former nickname: Indians) - Warhawks University of Wisconsin-Whitewater (Whitewater, Wisconsin) - Warhawks Last I counted there were 42 Hawk or hawk related nicknames. Feel free to count the other birds, I don't have the time or the patience. But seriously please consider this list when voting. I know none have "Fighting" in front but I assure you, it won't separate the University of North Dakota from this list. Let's be 1/1 not 1/42.
  5. All this nonsense has me feeling like Bill O'Reilly that one time
  6. My reaction when Fighting Hawks wins. #ILoveYouBoeheim
  7. Oh I finally get it! It's like driving anywhere near someone from Massachusetts and calling them a Masshole, because they are the worst drivers I've ever seen! Boston College Massholes has a nice ring, come to think of it Don't worry though, because we'll be the UND Fighting Hawks. I've given up. Lost all hope.
  8. All I ask is that we don't follow the script laid out by the former Native American logo'd schools before us. I have nothing against birds, but as a logo and nickname it's well trodden territory. It's upsetting that people find it ok to go that route as if we're being unique in any way. What sets UND apart from any other bird based school? Literally nothing. At all. But hey it has Fighting in it right?!? MAYBE WE'LL GET FIGHTING SIOUX BACK!!!!! Or not. I had to explain to some students that if we became FS again we'd be kicked out of the NCAA and that would no doubt ruin our athletic program, so I called them out on being UND fans who are really non-UND fans. They got upset. So I said, get bent.
  9. Also the NCAA is not that stupid, stupid yes but not that stupid, and will realize that it's a blatant call back to Fighting Sioux.
  10. HA!!!! GOT 'EM!
  11. Oxbow. Fair enough point. I like to call people who voted based off that non-logo "sheeple" but I say it in a Jesse "The Mind, The Body, The Eternal Spirit" Ventura voice, like "I'm going off the grid to my compound in Mexico because of these sheeple"
  12. Update on my talk with other students, I've heard from more than one person "If roughriders wins, I'm transferring" What?? Then you are no fan of UND in the first place and, hell I'll say it, I don't want you here. Same goes for people who say "I will no longer donate to the school," please, get over yourself. To many people clinging desperately to Fighting Sioux, and yes I agree many students voted for FH because they believed the logo was legit. Apparently no one at this school can do any basic research and believe everything they hear.
  13. Does that make UND Alumni lemmings too?
  14. Winning a National Championship never hurt anything! Honestly, I could live with any of the 3 remaining names. We could be in a much worse position then we find ourselves in today. We could be the Banana Slugs (Chirp chirp UC Santa Cruz), or worse yet...the Golden Gophers . And please, continue with the hashtags, I'm a huge proponent of unnecessary hashtags! #hashtag
  15. Well, speaking as a student, I've tried (Stress "tried") speaking with fellow students, and honestly I can't seem to derail their fascination with Fighting Hawks. From what I gather that they couldn't care less that it's not unique and a s***t load of schools have bird mascots, but I genuinely couldn't tell you why they're voting Fighting Hawks. Beats me. So while I wont be voting for FH, I'd say get used to the sound of University of North Dakota Fighting Bland Awful Hawks. (Please God let me wrong)
  16. Honestly not bad, though idk if this is original or not? Anyway, I like it!
  17. 1) Fighting Hawks is not unique in any way. Sorry, wait it's unique because it has "Fighting" and not a color. Roughriders is extremely unique in collegiate athletics, Nodaks obviously is as well. Fighting Hawks? C'mon we're better than that. 2) Why do we have to wait until November 2? Do people need to prepare themselves and their computers for another vote? Can we just get this thing over with???? Qualtrics could whip up another vote tonight and have it ready for tomorrow because it's their business. It's what they do, literally. 3) If there are 3 choices, I'm assuming they're choosing the name with the most votes, because it's possible not one gets over 50%, right?
  18. I'm just astonished Sundogs got almost 13%. That's the real story here, folks
  19. No reason to change the site name. NCAA ain't got nothin' on us!
  20. The top 1/10th of 1% of my appreciation goes to you, dagies. No but really thanks, I try with my humor!
  21. Nodaks with the #sweep! (How many people on here even get what hashtags are? Am I fighting a losing battle? or....?)
  22. Clearly a result of the Devil's lettuce! Guac-guac-a-mole!
  23. A sneak peak into the minds of the UVM student section ^That's amazing, idc what you say
  24. Irrelevant to the UND game, but I saw pictures of UNO's new arena on USCHO.com and it looks good! Might be a fun place to travel to, especially with that taco cannon (Oh and UConn lost, f***k Uconn.)
