But hey, like you said nothing to worry about "RR will win". Quote

SIOUXFAN97 Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 I finally decided and voted for Roughriders tonight. It was a tough decision.did the webcast sway you Quote
petey23 Posted October 24, 2015 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. Quote
petey23 Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 North Dakota Nodaks Well, these Vermont announcers would go with Nodak Nodaks if we had the name in place. Quote
SIOUXFAN97 Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 Well, these Vermont announcers would go with Nodak Nodaks if we had the name in place.or nodaks nodak...or nodak nodak...the possibilities for this nickname are endless Quote
Vegas_Sioux Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 Well Wally just had a message to any Sioux fans watching the gopher game please please please whatever you do, not nodak. Quote
bigskyvikes Posted October 24, 2015 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
dagies Posted October 24, 2015 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
SIOUXFAN97 Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 hope a few more votes were cast for RR after that cluster(##(#()@ webcast... Quote

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
STS Posted October 24, 2015 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. Quote

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...

siouxjoy Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 Well Wally just had a message to any Sioux fans watching the gopher game please please please whatever you do, not nodak. I caught that, too! Quote
SiouxFan100 Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 Just voted in this poll same as I voted earlier this week in the real vote for Nodaks. born and raised in North Dakota and UND grad. I liked hearing Nodaks in the Vermont game. 1 Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 I hope its right away Monday they release the results. Quote
