runaroundsioux Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 why? what is it about Roughriders that you hate so much?“We will bring North Dakota into the 21st century, kicking and screaming, but we will do it,“David Gipp said, winning applause from the audience of about 50 people. Ron His Horse Is Thunder suggested a replacement nickname that would focus on a North Dakota hero, Teddy Roosevelt. “I would ask the UND alumni, the state board of Higher Education, . . . to take a look at changing the logo and choose an image that all of North Dakota could be proud of,” he said “We have the perfect logo: North Dakota Rough Riders. . . . Who could object to that? It is talking about bravery; it is talking about courage. I think everyone could agree on that. Well,there's that. 1 Quote
siouxfan512 Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Or they could, well, you know, vote for Hawks.... dude, you are something else. Man up? Is anyone arguing that Nodaks came in third? You sound like you're on steroids, screaming in the middle of the gym that no one in the room is man enough to spot you. Get over yourself. You wanna vote Riders, vote Riders.And around and around we go. You think you'll be the one to influence anyone? Absolutely not.C'mon man, you know logic goes nowhere on nickname threads. 1 Quote

Fetch Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 We had the best name & logoI think the Athletes & Students today & in the future should make this decisionI don't think they want roughriders & I can't blame them Quote
geaux_sioux Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Nobody hates Ron His Horse Is Thunder for what he added to this situation, just what he took from it. So he had a decent suggestion, big deal. Maybe he's a great guy and the only hangup was his distain for our former nickname. Quote

Big Green Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Only chance I vote Roughrider would have been if it went against Sundogs. Now I need to figure out if I vote my 1st choice of Nodaks or Fighting Hawks because I dislike Roughriders so much. 2 Quote

Houston1852 Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 I hate them all, but if I could I'd vote Nodaks. I know 2 people (one being my wife) who are alums and didn't get the email to vote. For the people wanting rough riders...how many rough riders were actually from North Dakota? Quote

So he had a decent suggestion, big deal. Maybe he's a great guy and the only hangup was his distain for our former nickname.While I have a hard time not disliking Ron His Horse Knows More after his slanderous and false comments about UND being a racist and hateful place, even a broken clock is right twice a day. And one of those times was when he suggested Roughriders as a replacement for Fighting Sioux.A good idea is a good idea, even if the originator of that idea is someone you don't like otherwise. Quote
tnt Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 So according to some, we can't vote RR because of Ron His Horse is Thunder, and Hawks because of Kelley, so Nodaks is the only ... wait, I heard Don Lucia loves that so he can show his disdain for North Dakotans, for that matter most of their fan base. How about voting on merits of each name. 3 Quote
