I have to admit that if Nodaks ends up winning, I can almost guarantee I will laugh every single time the public address announcer at the REA yells "Here comes your University of North Dakota Nodaks!!" because of how bad it sounds.

You could simply just say, here's your Nodaks scoring.

.

This quote feature needs some work...Was trying to quote Goon on his "NoDaks scoring" post.

Anyway, how about at the beginning of games when the announcer says, "Here comes your University of North Dakota...NoDaks?!?  Or, "Here comes your University of North Dakota Roughriders!"  Rolls off the tongue much better and just "fits" imo.

think of the sponsorship, here's your Nodaks Mutual Scoring. Every time a goal is announced nodak mutual donates x amount of dollars to the scores for scholarship program. 

I chuckled.  But then was struck by the realization that with the abundance of companies using "Nodak" in their name, every announcement WOULD sound like a commercial :(

This is a lot like having to go pick out bathroom tile and you only have 5 really lame options.  The problem is you have to pick one and will have to live with it for a very long time.  This really sucks!  The only good news for me is that I won't be disappointed that one particular name doesn't make it.  I might just draw one name out of a hat for voting purposes.

That's a good analogy.

Nodaks = Blue tile

Sundogs = Pink tile

North Stars = Yellow tile

Fighting Hawks = Purple tile

Roughriders = A timeless white subway tile

Choose wisely. ;)

Damn, I just drew the name out of a hat.....Sundogs!  Oh Well.  Chalk one vote for Sundogs.

When I was 18 and just started to vote..  my dad said if you have not done your homework - don't vote.  In this case, if you are drawing out of a hat. .. you might not want to vote.
