jimdahl Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 I've noticed a lot of predictions in other threads about what the voting tally will be (not who you want to win, but what you think will happen).Brad's hallway poll of student athletes probably isn't a representative sample. Even the people voting here certainly aren't representative of the 80,000 eligible.So, what do you think the outcome will be and why? Quote
siouxforcefans Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 A run-off between Roughriders and Nodaks. The run-off will be won by Roughriders, largely due to Nodaks not being defined. Since no one knows what it is, or how to define it (in terms of a sports team and logo), many will pick the familiar logo options of Teddy or a horse. Others will now say that being undefined is what makes it appealing, but I'm not debating, just predicting And North Stars is still the best name, IMHO! Quote
UNDBIZ Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 I also believe it will be a run-off between Roughriders and Nodaks. Unfortunately, IMO, Nodaks will win the run-off. I can live with it, but I don't see the licensed gear changing much (what little UND licensed gear stores outside of Grand Forks carry now anyway). Quote
Benny Baker Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 North Stars because this is a message board and conspiracy theories should be taken as gospel truth. 1 Quote
fight on sioux Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Will be a run-off between NoDaks and RoughRiders with RoughRiders taking the cake. I voted for NoDaks and will do again if it comes to a run-off. I can live with both choices... Quote
GeauxSioux Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 I predicted here back in March. I'm sticking with my prediction. I could live with either Nodaks or Roughriders, though. Quote
Siouxperfan7 Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Sundogs wins with 51% of the vote. No runoff!! Quote
Dagger Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 From a general overlook, it seems with all the nicknames there is a degree of hatred for each of the possibilities for one reason or another. It seems that even though Roughriders isn't the number 1 choice for some people, most people would be willing to accept it if it isn't their number 1 choice. A lot of people have it as their number 1 or number 2 choice. For that reason I think Roughriders would me the most accepted by the majority, and most people would be willing to give it a chance if it is chosen. Quote

obborg Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Sundogs wins by default somehow in the aftermath. Quote
Siouxphan27 Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 5- way tie 10000 votes each. Since there are not two leading vote getters, Kelly decides to make the decision himself, and christens UND as the Sundogs. Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Roughriders and Nodaks in a run off.I wonder how long it will take to turn around to do the run off vote. Quote

SJHovey Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 As I mistakenly posted in the other thread, I'll go with RR over Nodaks in a run off, 52% to 48%. Quote
jdub27 Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Roughriders and Nodaks in a run off.I wonder how long it will take to turn around to do the run off vote. The plan isthat turnaround will be very quick and done within a week or two. I haven't heard anything that would indicate that has changed. Quote

Hayduke Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 RoughRiders will win outright on the first vote. 3 Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 RoughRiders will win outright on the first vote.I sure hope so. I have a feeling it has been the choice of the silent majority for a long-time, but supporters have been much quieter and reserved than the Fighting Sioux Hardliners, the No-Namers and the Nodakers (there is considerable overlap amongst those three groups, but it isn't 100%).I guess we'll find out later this month. 1 Quote

I would imagine if it closed on Friday, we would get the results over the weekend. Especially if there would be a runoff. (Which I predict there will not be...but, hey, it could happen..) Quote
Hawkster Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Roughriders and Nodaks in a run off, and in the end Nodaks win. People will finally realize we don't need to steal a name from a local high school. Besides, Nodaks is a very cool name. Quote

I think the voting closes at 11:59:59 PM on Friday, October 23rd. As to when the results will be announced, I hope it is sooner rather than later or else the tin-foil hat wearing conspiracy theorists will come out of the woodwork with their pitchforks and torches.
