Blackheart Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Yeah, putting the Fighting in front of any nickname automatically makes it golden...Fighting Giant Douches or Fighting Turd Sandwiches? Hard to say which one is better. 1 Quote

jimdahl Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 No reason the change the name of this sight. Why can't we honor our past and keep it Sioux Sports. Everyone knows that is UND. Change it to Hawks something, and it could be 1 of how many schools. Not changing anything right now, the only reason I'm talking about it now is to lock in domain names (which will become scarcer now that the final name is known).If the day comes that UND students or new fans are likely to search for "Fighting Hawks message board" or "Fighting Hawks football", I want to be ready. 2 Quote

Hard to say which one is better. yep, the committee had the Hawk option down to Green Hawks and Fighting Hawks before choosing the finalists. If the committee had advanced Green Hawks instead, I doubt Green Hawks would have won. If the committee had thrown Fighting on to Nodaks instead, that probably would be our nickname right now. 1 Quote

bigskyvikes Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Any that differs from any new UND nickname how?I don't get you, you are all over the board! Or do you just like to take the other side, no matter what that side is? Quote
Cratter Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) I don't get you, you are all over the board! Or do you just like to take the other side, no matter what that side is?I didn't know I had to "take sides." I like the Roughriders nickname from Day One it was announced The Sioux was retired. It was my top pick. And believe me, I did everything I could to try and get people on board. The first loser's not too bad. But now UND is the Fighting Hawks. Nothing I can do about it now, but try and embrace it and try and find the positives. Follow my lead you'll go far. My father introduced me to John Denver, and I've always loved....

FH is my 4th choice..Yes you did, nauseating.Then embrace it and be positive, stop being a JA!I feel I loss today also, and I voted for FH. I may be more Fighting Sioux stubborn than I thought I was. How's that for comprehension? Quote

Hayduke Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Everybody knows I wanted Roughriders. But it's over. The majority of voters won. Suck it up folks. Time to cheer for The University of North Dakota Fighting Hawks! Roll Hawks. 2 Quote

MTSiouxboy Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 The odds we get a badass hawk like Auburn's war-eagle? Already spent all that money on figuring out the new nickname, might as well spend a few more dollars to have a live mascot. Quote
Oxbow6 Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Local Fox News TV just did a piece on nickname and the Fr. female student they interviewed said she voted FH because it keep "Fighting" in the name. An adjective...... a F'Hawkin' adjective was her reason!!! And don't think she was the only one to vote like that. Quote

UND1981 Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) Suck it up folks. I've had11 hours to digest this new name. Sorry, can't get excited about FH. Being unique was the best thing about FS. Now we are fighting 39th version of hawks. Edited November 19, 2015 by UND1981 ADDING ERROR 2 Quote

GeauxSioux Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Here come your "Fighting Hawkys". Let's play Fighting Hawky! The ignorant would say that is redundant. Quote
UND-1 Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 A wee bit of a difference in intelligence between the player responses here.http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/3885568-und-sports-players-coaches-say-culture-wont-change-new-nickname 1 Quote
Cratter Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 “I didn’t come to this university for the nickname or the thought of getting one,” Mathewson said. “I came here for much more. Getting a new nickname, I understand it’s big for some people. For me, it doesn’t change how great this place is and what it’s meant to me and everything it has provided for me. With or without a nickname, I’d still get all that. And the people who come after me who will be Fighting Hawks, they’ll still get that experience, too.” 4 Quote
