gfhockey Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 We have one member on it And possibly one guy that wants in the gobc that's on the committee. Too. We will see how he acts So far isn't impressing anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will see how he acts So far isn't impressing anyone Question for you. If Big Cocks didn't get submitted by you because of a computer error, why didn't the 1 member of the GOBC who's on the committee add it to the list before the list became public? One would think that wouldn't be so hard to do, especially since it was such an important issue and the name the GOBC was pulling for? Or better yet...why wouldn't the 1 member on the committee who wants to be in the GOBC add it to prove him/herself? And that begs another question...are women allowed in the GOBC?

Siouxperfan7 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Logo submitted back in 2010 for the Port Huron Fighting Falcons of the NAHL. Logo was scrapped because it looked too similar to work done by Mike Ivall (as commissioned by the Chicago Blackhawks)... Source: http://icethetics.squarespace.com/old-concepts/2010/1/6/heading-out-west.html So Blakhawks is still in the running. I am curious to what a Bennet Brien design modified Sioux logo would look like using this same idea!! The name may be different, but if the logo is similar, then I think it would be more accepting!!

Ray77 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 There are no chicks in our club I figured so. Just wanted to make sure. Can you please address my other questions? I'd really like to know.

Siouxphan27 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 What they figured out is that can continue to yell Fighting Sioux because there will be nothing to compete with it. Read the comments on any article or even the suggestion list. People will still be yelling Fighting Sioux for years to come regardless. I think it's a good sign now that the process has started, more people are beginning to realize how fatally flawed this entire exercise is. Keep it as North Dakota. Dress up the interlocking logo with a few variations. For those in love with Teddy Roosevelt, make him a mascot. Or other people or things North Dakota-ish, make them mascots. There are lots of possibilities with just staying North Dakota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear some people think that team that plays in the NCHC in Engelstad Arena is a sovereign entity and not the University of North Dakota's entrant into NCAA Division I ice hockey. Hint to those blinded by a nickname and logo: It is the University of North Dakota's entrant into NCAA Division I ice hockey. They already are "North Dakota". Nicknaming the team "North Dakota" is straight out of the Department of Redundancy Department. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wouldn't be the University of North Dakota North Dakota; They would be the University of North Dakota. Could be the University of North Dakota NoDaks, if you really want another word there. This isn't rocket science, people who want North Dakota aren't looking for redundancy, they are looking to remain as we have for the past few seasons. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray77 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 And this guy doesn't have much to prove. I get that it's a secret deal. However, the fact that you say members are supposed to be secret and the fact that you spout off about it doesn't really add up. I have a feeling that the GOBC would "communicate" and "market" themselves more than enough without your drunken posts on SiouxSports.com. It wouldn't have been that hard for that person to add the name to the list without being found out though, would it have? It's not like he'd have had to proclaim "I'm in the GOBC and am going to add Big Cocks to the list" out loud to everyone! I'm starting to think this is a farce, and you're making stuff up as you go. You haven't had any credible inside info that's come to fruition lately and these latest nickname developments aren't helping your cause.

There are lots of possibilities with just staying North Dakota. Agreed, you can remain North Dakota, and still come up with some sort of mascot. Minnesota Wild have Nordy. Personally not a fan of either the name or the mascot, but the concept works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is you can still have some sort of mascot, even if they do remain North Dakota. I'm just saying that if people are concerned about the marketing of the school and athletics purely based on nickname or lack there of, there are plenty of creative options. Options the school could spend plenty of money on if they were wasting so much on this current process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeauxSioux Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I know that the GFH piece that first came out about the "weeding out" said that Arrows was eliminated because it is considered Native American imagery. I am looking at the list of rejects in the latest GFH piece and I don't see Arrows listed. http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/3739732-choosing-und-nickname-current-list-eligible-ineligible-names Arrow is there, as is Arrowheads, but not Arrows. Was this an oversight by the Herald or was there a change of position by the committee? And yes, this is wishful thinking MafiaMan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxfan512 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Arrowheads - Used by Native Americans Nokota - Horses; Horses were used by Native Americans Force - Native Americans could consider themselves a force. Big Green - A Native American has wore the color green at some point in time. Flickertail - Likely killed by a Native American at some point in time. UND - Attended by Native Americans This isn't looking good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
