Hayduke Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 @AnnagatorB: Carla Christofferson notes majority of public wanted North Dakota as nickname but says many are just mad about Sioux logo retirement. Majority? So...did they hire pollsters? Quote
Shawn-O Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Bleacher Creature was brought up. If it's Nodaks, dig him up out of the mothballs what the hell. Quote

darell1976 Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 If it's Nodaks, dig him up out of the mothballs what the hell. It's only been a couple of decades since he surfaced. Quote
Cratter Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Majority? So...did they hire pollsters? So you're saying they are getting another thing wrong. Quote
darell1976 Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 @AnnagatorB: UND's #newnickname committee is split on "Pride" as a nickname - some like it, others find it too ambiguous. Oh hell no!!!!! Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Split on Pride. Some like others too ambiguous Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Ill make a prediction they cut the list to 8 tonight. Quote
Cratter Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Split on Pride. Some like others too ambiguous We are in for some serious trouble! Quote
darell1976 Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 @AnnagatorB: #Newnickname committee discusses issues with local high school having "Roughriders" nickname & mascot. Time to rename Red River HS;) Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Roughriders discussion is now. Brought up red river Quote
darell1976 Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Roughriders discussion is now. Brought up red river Rename them the RRHS Pride 1 Quote
Cratter Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 If all they can come up with is its on urban dictionary and the name of a high school...they are splitting hairs. Quote
Hayduke Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 someone in that committee better mention that Teddy Roosevelt shot Bizon Quote
Cratter Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Get over the double meaning. Please! Every word has a double meaning... Me and my buddies use to always say: "Man thats some good green...*cough*." It's also #1 on urban dictionary. Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Spirit was viewed very negatively... so there is that Quote
Siouxphan27 Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Did anyone mention pride being joined at the hip with gay? Or didn't anyone have the balls to say that? Quote
Cratter Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Did they discuss explorers yet? Hard to find a negative in that one. I could live with Nodaks. Quote
scpa0305 Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 So odd, I was with a gf guy last weekend who thought nodaks would be a front runner. Pretty connected, im guessing he knows a committee member. I was shocked I never thought that would go too far. Quote
Shawn-O Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 If nothing else Nodaks is "safe". Although there could be "dirty connotations" if you wanted there to be. What a mess. Quote
