SWSiouxMN Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Looks like Fighting Hawks. Mildly surprised with that one Quote
Teeder11 Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 My comment was with teeders UND was best and my reaction. Not surprised it was last. I already corrected that information. Quote
darell1976 Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 So it's official...UND will have a new nickname now we don't have to have any discussion on whether the NCAA will allow UND to stay as just North Dakota. 1 Quote
dakotadan Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 If we end up with Fighting Hawks I'm just going to become a Bison fan. 1 Quote
darell1976 Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 If we end up with Fighting Hawks I'm just going to become a Bison fan. That's sad, and makes you no fan of UND, that comment makes you a member of the Herd. BV is that way----> 1 1 Quote
jdub27 Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Fighting Hawks ranked the highest. Well I agree with the lowest. The fairly surprising. Teeder, care to show them the list below and inform that its no surprise the consultants haven't said much, if any, negative things about Hawks: Pretty original too. There are 9 other colleges at various levels who had a Native American related nickname and now have some variation of "Hawks": Chowam Hawks - formerly Braves (2006) Dickinson State Blue Hawks - formerly Savages (1972) IUP Crimson Hawks - formerly Indians (2006) Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks - formerly Indians (2006) Miami RedHawks - formerly Redskins (1997) Ripon Red Hawks - formerly Redmen (1985) Southeast Missouri State Redhawks - formerly Indians and Otahkians (2005) Seattle Redhawks - formerly Chieftains (2000) Stonehill Skyhawks - formerly Chieftains (2005) Quote
Teeder11 Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Well I agree with the lowest. The other is dumbfounding. Teeder, care to show them the list below and inform that its no surprise the consultants haven't said much negative things about Hawks: I'm equally surprised! Quote

darell1976 Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Where did you hear this? Your post answered it. Quote
dakotadan Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 That's sad, and makes you no fan of UND, that comment makes you a member of the Herd. BV is that way---->Says the guy who never attended UND, lives in Fargo, makes it to one game a year, and obsesses about NDSU hourly. Got it! 1 Quote
jdub27 Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Here's the latest? Burleson originally tweeted it was "off the list". Bad word usage on her part, as they were at that point just discussing to remove it. Just for the record, that is the second time "no nickname" has been on the table to be removed as the lowest scoring remaining name and has somehow received a stay of execution both times. Quote
crb1 Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 A motion has been made to remove North Dakota and it has been seconded. Still discussion. Karl and Dave St. Peter trying to keep it alive. Quote
crb1 Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Motion was made by Diane Hildebrand and seconded by John Bridewell. Quote
darell1976 Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Says the guy who never attended UND, lives in Fargo, makes it to one game a year, and obsesses about NDSU hourly. Got it! But has never once in my life said I would be a Bison fan....big difference. Quote
crb1 Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 North Dakota has been eliminated from the list. 1 Quote
Teeder11 Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Bridewell's motion to eliminate "North Dakota" from consideration passes. 1 Quote
darell1976 Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Bridewell's motion to eliminate "North Dakota" from consideration passes. So we are down to 6 names. Quote
crb1 Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Bridewell's motion to eliminate "North Dakota" from consideration passes. Actually it was Diane Hildebrand that made the motion Bridewell seconded. Quote
