Csonked Out Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 @AnnagatorB: #Newnickname meeting extended-They're discussing putting UND/ND in the voting just to see what the public thinks, not for consideration. Waste of time. Ya great plan, then everyone will vote for this stupid idea and it will cause even more arguments as it would get the most votes and not be used. This is a 2 step process 1) pick a nickname and get it done with. 2) move on with life as it is just a nickname. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakotadan Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Seriously. This is way beyond even being a joke. The lack of leadership throughout the last two decades of this name debate is just pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cratter Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 They thought about it and still decided no nickname option is still off the list. Moving on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboys5xsbs Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 So we eliminate names just to bring then back to appease the public. This whole process is such a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnt Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 So, obviously if Fighting Hawks is tops on their list, then their criteria is just the biggest joke. Don't request nickname proposals from the public with the criteria you would like to meet, when you meet practically none of that same criteria with your latest rankings!

tnt Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Amen. Fighting Hawks doesn't rank very high on their own list. Yes, how about someone at this meeting taking the time to run down each of the names as it pertains to their own criteria. Rank them numerically as they meet uniqueness, source of pride, pertaining to the state, etc. As someone else said, how about some leadership. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetch Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 If that's the 3 RR FHS Nodaks I'd vote FHs then nodaks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagies Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Hawks is just So unoriginal though. In today's ncaa hockey game it's the UND Fighting Hawks VS the UML River Hawks. I can only get so proud of a name knowing it's the same one as tons of other universities in this country. Pretty much how I feel too. Fighting Hawks isn't that bad of a nickname. it's just that everyone else has a variety of it too. Not my way of doing things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIOUXFAN97 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 i wish someone would put thought bubbles above the heads of the committee members in the herald picture...mostly idowu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdub27 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 My prediction: In this long sequence of wacky, unpredictable twists and turns, and strange moves, and no moves, I predict one more thing that none of us saw coming. I will give you at least half credit for this but it was teetering on the brink. Hopefully that was the last "unpredictable" twist. @AnnagatorB: #Newnickname meeting extended-They're discussing putting UND/ND in the voting just to see what the public thinks, not for consideration.

Maddogg1971 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 After reading the article in the Herald it is once again apparent that the liberals are whining, er, i mean winning out again. The administrators, professors, don't want "North Dakota" but the committee members who are involved with running an everyday business are being thrown aside. Good Lord, even the name of our state is offensive to these folks. The committee was stacked so that no way could the people get what they wanted. This is eerily familiar to the Standing Rock vote...... or lack there of....the people weren't allowed to!!! A vote means absolutely nothing anymore. Amazing.

CMSioux Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Fighting hawks is growing on me. Let's go HAWKS lol. Then there's always the use of a feather as a icon - which closely resembles an eagle feather - which closely resembles.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNDBIZ Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Then there's always the use of a feather as a icon - which closely resembles an eagle feather - which closely resembles.... I wouldn't get my hopes up. In the world of academia, only Native Americans have ever adorned themselves with feathers, used arrows, or been a warrior, therefore, none are allowed.
