siouxfan512 Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Ok I could live with all but Sundogs. Both Hawks names just don't seem right for some reason. Seriously? You know what a sundog is, right? Quote
Oxbow6 Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 If Roughriders win, I'll be celebrating like UND hockey just won a Natty in double OT against the Gophers. Agree. Or like GB beating SEA to get to the Super Bo........never mind. Quote

siouxfan512 Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 ?? Are you reading my post right? Nope, I was reading too fast trying to catch up on posts, totally misread Quote
petey23 Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Completely agree, I've been saying that for a while Nodaks would be a way of basically keeping North Dakota, but with a nickname No. No it wouldn't. Quote
siouxfan512 Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 I like just North Dakota, but accept that it probably will not happen and for fair reasons. I am good with NoDaks. I am all about Roughriders, if the others do not work out. Anything else should basically be dismissed now. Quote
Siouxphan27 Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Anyone know what was said in the meeting that prompted them to eliminate Cavalry and Explorers before the voting tonight? 1 Quote
petey23 Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 how so Well. You don't speak for me. I don't mind Nodak Nation as an occasional description but as name it is brutal. One of the worst left. At this point we should be down to North Dakota and Roughriders. And as much as North Stars is a far superior name to Roughriders, it is Minnesota's. I could have lived with Explorers even though 1 other school has the name just because of the marketing and design potential. Quote
Ranger Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Anyone know what was said in the meeting that prompted them to eliminate Cavalry and Explorers before the voting tonight? The committee members obviously disapprove of the military. Quote

I could have lived with Explorers even though 1 other school has the name just because of the marketing and design potential. I am fine with all remaining names other than sun dogs however MN has chose not to use north stars for any of there sports teams. When they added the Wild a while back they chose not to go back to the NS. If it was so important why haven't they went back to that name? It is a superior nam, you're right. I don't think we disqualify it simply because a state has it as their motto. Other teams use rough riders even though it is supposedly ours. I'm just playing devils advocate a bit here. Quote
MafiaMan Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 ...MN has chose not to use north stars for any of there sports teams. When they added the Wild a while back they chose not to go back to the NS. If it was so important why haven't they went back to that name? Ummm...Minnesota wasn't allowed to use "North Stars" because that retired name belongs to the Dallas Stars. The league also wanted to avoid any possible confusion between Stars and North Stars. 1 Quote
cberkas Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Ummm...Minnesota wasn't allowed to use "North Stars" because that retired name belongs to the Dallas Stars. Why does no one realize this. The Wild weren't allowed to wear North Star jersey when the Wild wanted to honor the North Stars, but Dallas said "no." Quote
ringneck28 Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 FNAB club approves of NoDak roughriders of North Dakota Quote

MafiaMan Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Why does no one realize this. The Wild weren't allowed to wear North Star jersey when the Wild wanted to honor the North Stars, but Dallas said "no."I have no clue why folks don't understand that. When the New Orleans Hornets re-branded as the Pelicans, the team owner still had to grant permission for Charlotte to "take back" the Hornets nickname. Quote

bincitysioux Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 If Green Hawks wins out would the logo be a Hawk that flew into a can of green paint? Quote

MafiaMan Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Wow, I apologize. I didn't mean that to single you out personally. Sorry if it came across that way. 1 Quote
