iluvdebbies Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) As fussy as the men's bb team is...you would think they would be screaming from the roof of the Betty what nickname they wanted on the front of their NIKE jerseys. Edited November 2, 2015 by iluvdebbies 1 Quote
scpa0305 Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Went Nodaks, could live with any I guess. RR is a strong #2. Quote
UND-1 Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Went against the hockey team's campaign and voted Roughriders. 4 Quote

I know Geno Crandall has voiced his opinion on Twitter against the Fighting Hawks. Quote

I know Geno Crandall has voiced his opinion on Twitter against the Fighting Hawks. I would say his point is that north Dakota is the roughrider state so that it shouldn't be that hard to pick a new nickname...the roughriders. 2 Quote
geaux_sioux Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Hopefully Riders roll in this vote. Two lame duck options and one half decent one. 2 1 Quote

Siouxperman8 Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Roughriders. The Cowboys and Indians mix (with the Sioux apparel taking an entire generation to phase out) is why. Won't vote Nodaks since I grew up hearing it as a derogatory term for North Dakotans in suburban MSP. Hawks isn't worth addressing. Ryde or die!I voted Nodaks and think we can turn it from derogatory to positive if we embrace it. Very much like Wisconsin people did with the Cheesehead name. It used to be very derogatory but now I wish I had invented the cheese wedge hat. 1 Quote
cowboys5xsbs Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 I voted nodaks on the first poll and hawks on the second poll. I know I will be in the very small minority here. 1 Quote
snooty89 Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Voted Roughriders to try get it into the final round with the Fighting Hawks who I voted for the 1st round. Can't stand the Nodaks, so this is a vote against that and will probably go back with the FH in the final round. Quote
Siouxphan27 Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 I'll have to wait until my vote sells on Craigslist before I respond to this poll. *** 2 Quote
BostonSiouxFan Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Voted Roughriders again. If it doesn't advance I'd vote Nodaks. 2 Quote
siouxfan512 Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 I voted nodaks on the first poll and hawks on the second poll. I know I will be in the very small minority here. Any reason for switching? Quote
ericpnelson Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 I'll have to wait until my vote sells on Craigslist before I respond to this poll. ***haha I wonder if it sells. $150 for 1 outta 20k votes is pretty great. I just hope there is some reconciliation at this point after some people's choices are eliminated (approximately 2018 at this rate). If Roughriders loses, I'm gonna to make my best effort to embrace the new name after like a half day of being pissy.I'm really sick of arguing with other UND fans, though. #rollsomebody 3 Quote
InHeavenThereIsNoBeer Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 I voted nodaks on the first poll and hawks on the second poll. I know I will be in the very small minority here. I'll have to say, this is the 1st I've heard of someone switching from Nodaks/Roughriders to Fighting Hawks after the 1st vote.I'd be curious to know your reasoning. Quote
nodakhoops Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Went against the hockey team's campaign and voted Roughriders. if it hadn't been for that we'd probably just be voting for RR and FH and still should be. Voted RR again. Wish this was the last vote but no way any get 50%. Next week will hopefully be riders and Hawks which is what it should've been this week. That's when the vote could get interesting.

cowboys5xsbs Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Any reason for switching?Mostly I thought Fighting Hawks stood no chance so I voted for my #2. Also I hated how Nodaks sounded when the annoucers used it in the Vermont series. I'm just really hoping this process ends so we don't have a final final final voteoff ugh. Quote

I hear ya, I never thought FH was going to be that popular either, but I actually really liked when the Vermont announcers used Nodaks. Oh well, it'll all be over soon enough, then we can just move on. Quote
Shawn-O Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Should no name receive a majority of the vote, a run-off vote will be conducted. Voting will open at noon on Thursday November 26th, closing at 5 p.m Thursday November 26th. Should a majority of eligible e-mail addresses fail to cast a vote through Qualtrics, Fighting Hawks shall be declared the new nickname of the University of North Dakota. Quote
dagies Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 One thing about Nodaks......it's sort of a middle finger to the NCAA. Ok, you can't use a Native American nickname, then we'll name it after "us". Quote

Ok, you can't use a Native American nickname, then we'll name it after "us". Agree. I think Roughriders has some of that. (If we can't be the Indians, we'll be the damn Cavalry.)
