darell1976 Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 Boy, this thread has died... What is going on with the committee? Are they on summer break now? I agree I thought the list would be down to like 10 by now. Quote
Siouxphan27 Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 I agree I thought the list would be down to like 10 by now. They're waiting for McDonald to tell them what the top ten are. 1 Quote

Popular Post TBR Posted June 8, 2015 Popular Post Posted June 8, 2015 The nickname committee will take criticism no matter what they do. Move too fast and they are not allowing the process to play out. Move too slow and they lack decisiveness. Elicit the maximum public input they lack leadership on the issue. Substantially undertake the selection process internally and they lack transparency. Having said all that, it is time to figure this thing out and be done with it. 5 Quote
ericpnelson Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 Someone told me the committee narrowed the list down to 11? Is this true? Quote
bigskyvikes Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Kelly is retiring! Bring back the nickname!!!! Lol, wishful thinking... Quote

jimdahl Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 My first quick and dirty attempt at a personal ranking: I think I could live with 1. Roughriders 2. Cavalry 3. Fighting Hawks 4. Thunderhawks 5. North Dakota 6. Nodaks 7. Force 8. Explorers No thanks 9. Blaze 10. Fighting Green 11. Green Hawks 12. Pride 13. Spirit 14. North Stars 15. Sundogs Who else wants to play? 1 Quote
Shawn-O Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Nokota and Flickertails didn't make the cut. I'm all in with Roughriders. .. Same. I like Cavalry but if they didn't have the stomach for Nokota I don't see that one panning out either. Quote
Shawn-O Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 And if we really think we are in the clear, North Dakota is fine as well! Quote
Shawn-O Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Who the hell keeps voting for sundogs? Does Goon have a vote? Quote
Shawn-O Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Goon likes sundogs? Lol I like Calvary Too Christian. Quote
tnt Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Here's your final 15 names. I sure hope it isn't Spirit. :-(http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/3762985-und-committee-cuts-nickname-idea-list-more-half We were told that unique and pertinent to the state were traits they wanted in the new nickname ... and this is what they came up with. Remind me why they paid a consultant all that money! No respect at all for committee members. 2 Quote
dmksioux Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Goon likes sundogs? Lol I like Calvary I didn't know you were the church going type. This is why I put Roughriders ahead of Cavalry/Cavs. Quote
tnt Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Who the hell keeps voting for sundogs? When your rivals are urging message board people to vote often on online polls for Sundogs, you know what others think of that as a joke of a nickname. Will someone please put the brakes on this joke! 1 Quote
dmksioux Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 I think I could live with: 1. Roughriders 2. Cavalry 3. North Dakota 4. Explorers No thanks: Everything else. Quote
tnt Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Roughriders and North Dakota are the only two that have any weight in my eyes, and everyone knows how I feel about us being right back here in a few years with the latter. Quote
dmksioux Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Can someone tell me what a thunder hawk is? Is it similar to a thunder bird? If so, there's all kinds of tie in to Native Americans. If Nokota got the axe because of potential NA ties, then shouldn't thunder Hawks be axed also? 1 Quote
