Goon Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 The same crowd that put us in this < this space available > position would make that "Green Energy" in no time. Fail. That would be an epic fail. Quote

Fetch Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Im not into green energy so just the kinds ND has Quote
Blackheart Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 I think there is a clause in the agreement that says UND cannot remain without a nickname of some kind. Did the NCAA marketing dept put that clause in? They want to ensure they can continue to make money off hat and t-shirt sales...what a joke... Quote
The Sicatoka Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 For a while folks wanted to tip the cap to the second large group to live in this area, namely the Scandenavian / Northern European immigrants. Those folks share a common mythology. The most powerful warrior that Norse/Germanic mythos carried a weapon called Mjolnir. Officially be the Mjolnir (translation: the crusher; pronounced: myol-near). What is Mjolnir in common language (meaning what could be the alternate name for the teams)? The War Hammer. (You can also call it a maul.) But I'm sure the NCAA'd say we'd need family approval from a former UND defenseman with the first name Trevor. It's not bad, but I still kind of like "Reaper" as it hits both past and present in the region (old harvesters and new UAVs). And yes, the black jerseys would be a whole lot of fun ... A year later and I'm still believing in these two ideas. <patting self on back> Quote
MafiaMan Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Where is this 'Scandenavia' that you speak of? Is it near 'Scandinavia'? Quote
The Sicatoka Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Where is this 'Scandenavia' that you speak of? Is it near 'Scandinavia'? Shhh ... Norwegians wouldn't have noticed that. Quote
MafiaMan Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Shhh ... Norwegians wouldn't have noticed that. I'm 1/4 Norwegian... Quote
82SiouxGuy Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 So 3/4 was working for you. It isn't that the Norwegians weren't going to notice. They are just too polite to point out your mistake. 1 Quote
MafiaMan Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 It isn't that the Norwegians weren't going to notice. They are just too polite to point out your mistake. Apparently the 1/2 Eye-Tie isn't polite... Quote
The Sicatoka Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 It was out there for a year and a half ... Quote
dagies Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 I actually really like the "War Hammers" Right after the "Iron Horses" Quote
Blackheart Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 I actually really like the "War Hammers" how about the Dan Hammers? Quote
The Sicatoka Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 Oh to have heard Doug and The Rug try to say "Mjolnir". Quote
The Sicatoka Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Another reason Mjolnir would work? It was known as the weapon that can level mountains. That would explain the Red River Valley. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 Heck, we're living under the spectre of the old moniker; we might as well embrace it. Why not just adopt the moniker "Spectre". And yeah, I still get my cool black jerseys (same as Reapers). Quote
nodak651 Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 Feel like people would just call us rapers, Sicatoka... The "athletics" I think would be great. We could still be defacto Sioux fans and we wouldn't have to sell out to some new meaningless mascot. Quote
