A "majority" was forced by electioneering sleight of hand.

Until all of us already branded "Sioux" slowly die off. There will be no re-branding. If they really want FH to stick they will have to focus on a new generation. They have to know this.

Saturday at the Betty there was an audible groan the first time the PA announcer used "Fighting Hawks." I wouldn't say it was a majority of the crowd, but noticeable. During the last minute of a close game, that's when I heard a majority.

Let me guess: None of this would be happening if only voters would have been smart enough to vote in roughriders. Right?

Shoutout to Knox for a great game today.

But don't you think the design process she describes too closely resembles the process that led to our nickname being Fighting Hawks?

All this losing doesn't worry me one bit either. Early season failure strengthens a team for late season success. Last year we followed the opposite route.

Part of me likes this...

UND Fighting Yin-Yangs.

I notice Olivia Hass has been removed from the roster. Anyone got the scoop? Or a guess even?

Ladies out in San Fran playing like a bunch of young kids a long ways from home. Doesn't look like they will be able to muster 40 points. Brewster was teed up with Pres Kelley sitting right behind him.

WBB announcer just called our team Fighting Sioux, of all things.

Yeah, and you see where the creativity-by-committee strategy has gotten us so far. It creates a situation in which the focus is on elimination instead of creation. Each option is taken away one by one until we are left with a nickname by default, and eventually a logo by default.

The fact that the last logo's designer was an alum was an important ingredient to its uniqueness, and ultimately its success. For them to slam the door on the toes of any potential homegrown creativity is a bullet in the foot.

I love your guerrilla activism but unfortunately I don't like the plane idea in general.

Yes. The round of 5 was all that was needed. Would have been the same result too. Any ballot that contains only 2 choices and no write-ins is ridiculous.

I am not here to refute a message I agree with. Although I would change, "detachment from reality" to "willingness to ignore reality."

Fair enough. Wrong word. Its just that when I hear some of you using "Fhawk" the way you are I am imagining it coming from some drunken 19 year old frat boy Bison or Gopher fan.

BTW Sic, I actually prefer the side of you that complains. You have voiced many righteous ones. Which is worth it whether you are in control or not .

So what is he controlling now with all these tantrums?

Weren't you in the "pick a new nickname and move on" group? Or was it just the "pick a new nickname and then complain about it" group?

Nobody knows yet, even with a plan in place decisions are made on the fly around here.

And it's not even our rivals using it. It's as if some of us have switched teams.

Fighting Hawks should become Behind-the-Scenes-Manipulating Hawks.

nice
