Siouxperman8 Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 I was leaning Roughriders but now am firmly in the Nodaks camp. It is unique and we have some history using it. 1 1 Quote

It is unique and we have some history using it.I feel the same about Nodaks, but.....but, what if the Nodak and Fighting Hawk crowds thin themselves out of it and leave it to the RR or worse the Sundog crowds?Not trying to be a dyck to any RR supporters, but this does have me torn.

luapsided Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 If this made any sense, they would have logo ideas for each name to help people get a better visual of each name Quote
luapsided Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 You people need to move past the north stars and the bashing we would receive for using it.. We were once the sue, suzies for example... If you cant make a comeback of your own to put someone in their place then stay home... We are more north than the cities anyways... Also, its the state of ten thousand lakes, not the north stars.. We have north in our name already for christ sakes! North dakota north stars. Quote
luapsided Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) Roughriders would be ok down the road but it would take awhile to sink into the brain.. Sundogs.. Well.. Id kill myself Edited October 13, 2015 by luapsided Quote

We have north in our name already for christ sakes! North dakota north stars. Actually its that LAND of 10,000 lakes. North Stars isn't a bad name, but its a former MN hockey team and doesn't makes sense for UND. Even so, there isn't enough support for it to win. Based on posted public opion I see the ranking as follows:RoughridersFighting HawksNodaksNorth StarsSundogs My personal opinion is as follows:Toss up between Roughriders and Nodaks.Fighting HawksNorth StarsSundogs Quote

The Sicatoka Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 ... but it would take awhile to sink into the brain.. I believe that is the case no matter the result. The only difference may be the duration of "awhile". Quote
dagies Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 I was leaning Roughriders but now am firmly in the Nodaks camp. It is unique and we have some history using it.feeling some gravity there myself. Not decided yet. Still really like Roughriders. Quote

Popular Post Emerald joker Posted October 13, 2015 Popular Post Posted October 13, 2015 who are the 12 idiots that are voting for sundogs, there's no room for the pc crowd on this site!!! If you 12 all get off this site, each of you will get a participation trophy so noones feelings get hurt! GO FIGHTING SIOUX!!!!! 5 Quote
siouxfan512 Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Surprised by how much steam Nodaks has picked up. I have been flip flopping between Nodaks and Roughriders, and am starting to lean Nodaks. Ultimately I just don't want sundogs. Would prefer not to see North Starts. I would accept Fighting Haws, but it is sooo boring. At least Nodaks and Roughriders have a regional connection. Quote
scpa0305 Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 North dakota nodaks... So in other words we would be north dakota north dakota... LameOh no..I think you may have it confused. Just North Dakota Nodaks...not North Dakota North Dakota Quote
siouxfan512 Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 North dakota nodaks... So in other words we would be north dakota north dakota... LameUND Nodaks, Fighting Nodaks, or just Nodaks doesn't sound so bad. Did you ever ask people if they were going to the North Dakota Fighting Sioux hockey game? or did you ask them if they were going to the Sioux game? Did you cheer "Go North Dakota Fighting Sioux!" from your seat? or did you cheer "Go Sioux!" You can make it try to sound ridiculous, but it does have to be. I was always in the camp of just remaining UND, and this seems to be the closest option, but it gives the school something they can still brand and tie a logo to.I'm really leaning towards Nodaks, and know several others who have moved their picks to this name. It almost seems like in the past there was some hesitation over this name because people didn't know if it was really even going to be in the mix. It has definitely picked up steam though. Roughriders wouldn't be terrible and I could live with Fighting Hawks (Boring)... 1 Quote
