Roughriders got 27.95%

Nodaks got 26.36%

It's pretty close...maybe we should do it one more time with all three 

[WiSioux]

The question is now where do the former Nodak voters turn to? Fighting Hawks, Roughriders, or no vote?

[UND1981]

I'm going to vote for high school nickname; don't want to be team #43 to be some form of hawk.

Although it will take a little over a week to become official, let's all embrace the obvious.

How about them University of North Dakota Fighting Hawks? Go Hawks!

Ha

...of course, you could also say that the bottom 2 were so distant from the top choice, that we DONT need another vote...

[choyt3]

I just don't understand "Fighting Hawks". Looking like that's where it will end up, and I suppose I will support it, just don't understand it.

Looks like the number of people participating in the vote actually went up, not what most of us expected.

[sioux rube]

Well I was a NODAK supporter. Not voting again.

[ClassB]

Go Riders

Wrong -- this is why we will end up the Hawks.
Go Riders

[Hayduke]

Looks like it will take a major shift for Riders to win.  

I'm still voting Riders though.  

[UND1981]

Wrong -- this is why we will end up the Hawks.Go Riders

Agree.  Not voting is the same as voting for FH. 

[ClassB]

If everyone who voted for Nodaks and Roughriders voted Riders next week, we win. Go Riders.

[4evrSIOUX]

Fighting Hawks it is I guess. Oh yay!  Glad I stocked up on Sioux stuff!  Before you all jump down my throat.  I will still support the University and can still attend games, but I don't have to wear apparel with a name I can't stand. I'm pretty sure I won't be the only one!

[siouxforce19]

If everyone who voted for Nodaks and Roughriders voted Riders next week, we win. Go Riders.

Well, I won't be, so there goes that theory...

[Fetch]

Let's make it decisively  Fighting Hawks 

[SIOUXFAN97]

Well I was a NODAK supporter. Not voting again.

Same for me I would be surprised if the voting numbers don't go down this time.

[sioux24/7]

Well damn this is disappointing. 

[4evrSIOUX]

Well I was a NODAK supporter. Not voting again.

Ditto!

[fightingsioux4life]

Okay, is it time for another Roughriders ad in the Dakota Student? Any takers?

[ClassB]

Didn't know Nodak supporters were so thin skinned?
