petey23 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 anyone want to hear und's potential new nickname in use log into the webcast for the hockey game..Well they are actually shortening North Dakota to Nodak and/or reading the abbreviation off the scoreboard rather than using it as a nickname.

bigskyvikes Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Well, these Vermont announcers would go with Nodak Nodaks if we had the name in place.Thats exactly why it sounded off, they were trying to use it just like that! It was weird. They never used the word 'the' the Nodaks! Can we now put the made up thing, "its a slur bs" to rest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagies Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Not that it's exactly breaking news, but Jayson Hajdu did comment on the live chat that arenas have long used "NoDak" or similar on their scoreboards. The announcers knew UND no longer used the Fighting Sioux nickname, so they likely just went with the next most obvious thing. I joked about it on the chat myself, but I can't believe it was something anyone asked them to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I joked about it on the chat myself, but I can't believe it was something anyone asked them to do.Don't you know? It's been said the promotion of that name is a ploy by the hockey team to still call themselves Sioux. Of course they arranged for the obnoxious overuse of that name by the announcers and for the placement on the scoreboard. I mean, that's the only reason anyone would vote for "Nodaks", right? Two more hours of voting, then hopefully we will have some closure, at least for the time being. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STS Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 hope a few more votes were cast for RR after that cluster(##(#()@ webcast...I don't know, SS has the most pro-RoughRiders crowd I've seen. When everybody wanted to stay ND, people here were going hard for RoughRiders. If Riders is losing to Nodaks here, there may not even be a second round.

When everybody wanted to stay ND, people here were going hard for RoughRiders. If Riders is losing to Nodaks here, there may not even be a second round.this is a very very pro hockey message board...i think with the percentage of nodaks catching up in the above poll just shows that the non-rr crowd was all over the place...most people when they saw RR in final dozen or so knew that was their pick and never swayed...the other voters need some time and influence to decide on a name and i think that hurts their chances...you take all the fh votes out there and give them to the nodaks and its a runaway but splitting votes three ways for the hockey crowd between fh, ns, and nodaks in the long run will hurt all three...
