Siouxphan27 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 So do you suggest that UND become the Peace Gardeners then?!! Well....no..... Not every state has several official/unofficial nicknames that would work well as a university nickname. We've already used two. Since all the choices left are rather weak, of those 7 North Dakota or nodaks are my preferred choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNDBIZ Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 In 1957, the legislature formally adopted Peace Garden State as the official nickname. (North Dakota Century Code, Section 39-04-12.) I'm not sure how much more official you can get. It seems every time I state a fact on here about the Roughriders myth, I get accused of being wrong, only to later prove i'm right. I guess that's how fairy tale legends of Roughriders being from North Dakota get spread. Bully! A license plate slogan does not equal official state nickname. Here's the century code you referenced: Number plates must be of metal or other suitable material bearing the name of the state, either in full or by abbreviation, the number of the year, the slogan "Peace Garden State" and a distinctive number for assignment to each vehicle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obborg Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Happy to answer that. Here's my order of preference: 0) Fighting Sioux (had to work that in) 1) North Dakota 2) North Stars 3) Nodaks 4) Fighting Hawks 5) Sundogs 6) Roughriders 7) Green Hawks I can assure you the difference between 1) and 2) is large, and more massive between 2) and 3). Then from 4) on it becomes a blur of apathy and indifference. That's where I'm at. We're not far apart. 1.(t) Fighting Hawks North Dakota 3, North Stars 4. Sundogs 5. Nodaks 6. Teddy Bears 7. Green Hawks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNDBIZ Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 All that may be true but its not on a license plate Yet. If UND becomes the Roughriders, there'll be Roughrider license plates similar to the moo U license plates currently available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodakhoops Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Haven't been checking this lately so if this has already been posted sorry. I am not at a place where I can link this but Gov. Dalrymple was on 6:30 POV on valley news and said he prefers Roughriders and North Stars. Also the Publisher of the Whapeton Daily News wrote an article about why Roughriders is the best choice. Both are online I just can't link them so if someone else can feel free. Whap paper also had a poll which Roughriders led by quite a bit of votes.

Risky Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I am not sure what is going to happen on the nickname, but it seems to me that the general consensus is Roughrider is the one unless we pick no nickname. Is that feeling most people are getting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that feeling most people are getting? If there was a real vote with true stakeholders, I believe Roughriders would easily win against any two other options among the seven. That includes no nickname. However, that may not happen. We're at the mercy of the committee. Hopefully, they are staying in touch with the stakeholders. Go Ridas!

Don't be surprised if both of your top 2 consensus choices are eliminated next round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightingsioux4life Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Interesting comment from someone who absolutely ridiculed Stewart Milles III for being born with a silver spoon in his mouth. It was the attitude of Stewart Mills III I had a problem with, not his wealth. He was running around promoting himself as a "self-made man" when he was anything but. TR didn't treat people poorer than him with contempt and distain; he did a lot to improve the lives of average, ordinary people during his 1+ term as POTUS.
