Fedorov Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 dont vote for what you like...vote for what's best for und and you will be fine...but vote!I don't think any of those choices are what is best for UND. I think just being North Dakota would be better than forcing an undesired nickname. As a result, UND will lose a lot of alumni donations and that doesn't help UND either. So who is really being helped here? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OgioloD Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 So I guess that will hopefully change the minds of the 12 students that actually read the dakota student. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obborg Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) I also enjoyed the contradiction that Hawks is too popular yet at the same time state mottos are a good idea because they are so popular.

Hayduke Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Interesting ad in the dakota student today. Interesting. Implying that Kelley wants the "Hawk" name...hmmm.. I wonder how many students will change their vote based on this? Hard to say... Maybe it will make a social media splash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) I also enjoyed the contradiction that Hawks is too popular yet at the same time state mottos are a good idea because they are so popular.Not every state is called "the hawk state". Going with the state nickname shows the unique character of the state. Edited October 30, 2015 by The Sicatoka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact there might not have been a volunteer unit period, and certainly not one involving TR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though Roughriders wouldn't have to have a Teddy symbol, who wouldn't want to be associated with him?Get's shot in the chest before a 90 minute speech in Milwaukee, shrugs it off and gives the speech anyway:http://www.history.com/news/shot-in-the-chest-100-years-ago-teddy-roosevelt-kept-on-talking 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
