The idea to nickname UND "The North Dakota Originals" was inspired by the Oakland Athletics? The same Athletics who where the Kansas City Athletics before Oakland ... who where the Philadelphia Athletics before Kansas City ... I'm not feeling the same inspiration.

Roughriders, Nokotas, Wolves have been approved. Please pass that along to the committee.

Wasn't Prairie Wolves approved...or was it just Wolves.  I heard Prairie Wolves.   I did hear about Rough Riders, I would have liked that had RR not already had that nickname for the last 50.

Prairie Wolves? The nickname for a coyote is the best we can do?

I'm MafiaMan...and I do NOT approve this message.

I never said I was for it....don't shoot the messenger :)

 

I actually laughed the first time I heard it too, however I laughed at all other ideas too.  This isn't going to be easy.

Can't help but note that one of North Dakota's official nicknames is the "Roughrider State" - see:

That has been noted many times.  North Dakota has also been known as the Sioux State at times in the past along with those listed.  For various reasons, I don't see any of those used for the new UND nickname.
