  1.  It is inconceivable to me that any would consider "Fighting Hawks" to be an improvement upon continuing to go without a nickname - at least that was unique.

    Show of hands:  Would like to call out those of you who at one time were trumpeting the idea that we must choose a new nickname, yet are now groaning about the results.

  2. Welcome to UND, Fighting Hawks (I guess :()

    The question now is how do we differentiate ourselves from the other thirty plus Hawks teams the Fighting Hawks will be playing against.

     

    By ignoring this whole debacle and continuing to sport my "UND" gear and calling the teams "North Dakota."

  3. Regardless of the outcome this process has been a complete Sh*t Show

    This sentiment seems to be something we can all agree with, in fact I have yet to see a single disagreement with this type of post.  I for one agree as strongly as anyone.  But there seems to be a disconnect.  Sure, people realize (to varying degrees) the truth that this process is a hoax.  But then they are somehow able to shelf that truth and carry on actively participating in said hoax.  In such cases, condemning the process condemns the self.

  4. Its a matter of time until BV gets ahold of this and then goes EVERYONEs credibility.
    My argument, from a different perspective is this -- when a student becomes an alum, they can choose a few different routes:

    1. move on and away, no longer associate with the university

    2. choose to attend games, be a fan from near or far, and have season tickets

    3. become a donor and season ticket holder

    and various combinations of the three.

    I feel that those who have already demonstrated their commitment should get more say than a student, because we cannot tell how many students will end up being associated with the school in the future. Their level of commitment, by nature, is unknown.

    Didn't we already settle this with the removal of the 3/5 Compromise?
