siouxstudent Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 Im shocked it made the cut... even more shocked it got 3 votes Do you guys like it or no? Quote
MafiaMan Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 Global Hawks? Green Pride? Yes, please, let's waste some time and $$$ looking into those names. Get the consultant on the phone! Ka-ching! Quote
siouxfan512 Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 Fighting Green? WTH? Thats not even a thing.... Quote
darell1976 Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 And I ask the question, who in the hell.... voted for Grey Hawks? Interesting that Blackhawks got 3 votes..... They can use the name as long as it refers to a hawk and not an Indian. Quote
Fetch Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 maybe trade the use of our new logo to the blackhawks for use of their name win - win Quote
darell1976 Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 Fighting Green? WTH? Thats not even a thing.... Dartmouth: Big Green North Texas: Mean Green UND: Fighting Green? Quote
darell1976 Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 maybe traded the use of our new logo to the blackhawks for use of their name Can we get back Towes in that trade. Quote
UNDErmines Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 What the - where's Ermines? Ermines is better than every name on that list. That has to be a mistake. Looking at the list, are we sure that's not the "terrible names" list? Half of those don't even come close to meeting the scoring criteria. Quote
UNDErmines Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 Man, you guys are screwed. What's the board of your biggest rival? I think I'm going to go become a fan of that team. 3 Quote
darell1976 Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 So Blackhawks is ok, but arrows is not...... Ask W&M that: tribe is okay a feather is not. 1 Quote
Oxbow6 Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 I didn't stay at a HI Express last night but I know cluster**** when I see one. Bison Slayers? Article Blaze? Green anything? Blizzard Dogs? How in any way, shape or form can this be seen as a legitimate means to a respectable end? Quote
UNDErmines Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 Looking at the timing of the meeting and the results, it's clear that the committee did not use the scoring criteria at all. They averaged about 15 seconds per name and just voted for stuff that they liked. The process totally got derailed. Quote

Cratter Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 So Blackhawks is ok, but arrows is not...... Its clear they are making stuff up as they go to see fit. Rough Riders didn't make the cut because its hard to trademark vs Roughriders. Quote
UNDErmines Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 Bison slayers...Indians are going to love that one. I would think that they wouldn't be fond of "cavalry", either. That would be a funny call to hear from the university to the Native American groups. "Hey, tribespeople, we took your name off our uniforms and replaced it with the people we paid to shoot at you. How does that sound?" Where did this list arise from? I'm not seeing a link, so I'm hoping it's just a joke. Quote
Cratter Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 Man, you guys are screwed. What's the board of your biggest rival? I think I'm going to go become a fan of that team. Thankfully your time here is about done. Time to actually let fans of UND pick the nickname. 1 Quote

They averaged about 15 seconds per name and just voted for stuff that they liked. The process totally got derailed. They aren't doing any scoring at this point. They are weeding out the name. To move on, a name needed to receive a single vote, no reasoning needed to be given. They will work on the whittled down list from there. For a marketing expert or whatever, you sure aren't great at understanding how processes that have already been laid out work. 1 Quote

UNDErmines Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 Well, they really should be using the scoring criteria. At this rate, the winner will get about three points when they actually implement it. Quote
