Blackheart Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I wonder why no other school has the nickname the "nodaks" and I also wonder how schools like north Carolina and south Carolina and south Dakota didnt' come up with nocars, socars, and sodaks?Because it totally sucks? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnt Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 just saw on sunday night football a clip of a what looks to a be a high school who looked like they might be nicknamed the fighting irish in what looks to be in an area where the university of notre dame fighting irish are...must be confusing to the locals around there.Yet somehow none of us knew! Funny how that works when you are trying to create a national brand, and not worried about local confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigskyvikes Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 before anyone votes tomorrow i hope they ask themselves which of these five will make und the most $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ for all of our d1 teams...not the one that sticks it to the ncaa, not one gives you a warm nostalgic feeling inside, not the one that makes tom dennis/shakespeare cry....the one that makes und the most money to fund our team going forward.This makes sense.....not!

siouxfan512 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 roughriders and nodaks are neck and neck for me still. guessing i won't be casting a vote until the very end.I'm having the same problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluvdebbies Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I'm not voting for Nodaks ever, even if there's a fire! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scpa0305 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Voted Nodaks. Wished NS had more steam but I understand why a lot of folks didn't like it too much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnt Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 So Brad's article is a hack piece because it points out the fact that Teddy Roosevelt was in fact a bigot and a racist?Then where is his outrage, and yours for that matter in North Dakota giving out the Roughrider Award as the highest honor in the state? ... that's what I thought.

iluvdebbies Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Wish I liked Rough Riders enough to vote for it the first day. Will most likely vote for it on Friday. Unless it comes out that Teddy also beat dogs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNDhoops Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 i wish i knew at least a little bit of what the proposed logos for each nickname would be. riders is easy enough to imagine but nodaks could go in about 10 million ways. Going with just the interlocking ND might hinder merchandise sale in the long term but who knows at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND1983 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 So Brad's article is a hack piece because it points out the fact that Teddy Roosevelt was in fact a bigot and a racist?He is writing that to support the hockey teams choice, which is Nodaks. it all goes together if you read his stories and blog. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNDBIZ Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 http://undhockey.areavoices.com/?p=101120Many have been asking in the comments section and on Twitter about the athletes’ thoughts, so I asked some of them in the past two weeks.Every member of the men’s and women’s hockey teams that I spoke to said that their choice is Nodaks. #OnlyHockeyMatters 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagies Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) That's funny and sad at the same time. I wanted to get the athletes thoughts, so I asked the men's and women's hockey teams.That is who he covers. Miller covers football, etc. The other reporters may be following up with those sports. Who knows. He's reaching out to those he has a rapport with and who will likely be willing to share their opinion with him.I think it would be good to get opinions from other sports, and I also think it would be interesting to know if these opinions would be different from sport to sport, and if so, why. I'm not sure they would be different....why would opinions differ by sport? But would be interesting to see.

NeedHockey Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) It is too bad we don't have "North Dakota" (no nickname as an option). The best alternate choice is "North Stars." North Dakota North Stars! It does roll off your tongue. And, it could be "Stars" for a short version. Too bad Minnesota is known as the "North Star" state. But then again, Grand Forks Red River High School is known as the Rough Riders. Edited October 19, 2015 by NeedHockey Added Logo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
