North Dakota announces name.

Re: North Dakota announces name.

Fighting Hawks...wow I feel bad for you guys. I'm not trying to be sarcastic or a jerk either. I loved the uniqueness of the Fighting Sioux and the instant brand recognition it carried. What is with whenever a team changes a nickname it becomes a variation of Hawks? Miami went from Redskins to Red Hawks, UL-Monroe went from Indians to War Hawks, Lehigh went from the highly offensive nickname of the Engineers to the Mountain Hawks, and now we have the North Dakota Fighting Hawks. As a neutral fan I feel for you guys, although after such a long process of getting here I'm sure you guys just want to be done with it. ND will always be the Fighting Sioux for me.

We are like gawkers on the other side of the freeway slowing down to look at the car wreck, only we're also commenting on the wreck. True we're not involved and it doesn't really affect us, but we just can't look away from such a cluster-****. And we just can't refrain from commenting. :D

Like a young Jim Morrison in that opening scene in The Doors?

It will haunt you.

UMass Lowell went from the Chiefs to the River Hawks.

Probably still bitter at being the last to be asked to the NCHC party. Kind of like the socially awkward kid you end up inviting because you're stuck with an extra ticket.

Why would St. Cloud fans be bitter about that? We won the league title in year one, about to win it again this year. It has worked out pretty well for us.
 
Re: North Dakota announces name.

I'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate the UND committees, president, and athletic director for their knee burning hard work in finally selecting the perfect moniker. Of course none of this would have been possible without the unwavering support of the UND Nazi chancellors, Women's Swastika Knitting Association, The UND Aryan Circle Jerk Association (ACJA), The Touch Our Gonads Society (TOGS) and of course UND's renown Schutzstaffel. This is sheer genius, Hawks actually build a nest out of their own poop, so the name is a total fit for UND. Congrats!

Given how UND rolled over for Ralph to keep the Sue name and then rolled over for the NCAA to abandon it, the name should have been the Sundogs.

Oshie and his elevator antics would approve.
 
Re: North Dakota announces name.

It is nice to know how much every other fanbase cares about us. Whether they are obsessed with UND or not, they constantly show how much they care. And for that I think we should thank them.

She's doing well, thanks for asking. She's still a bit sore about those crabs you gave her though. She specifically asked for Alaskan King crab but you got her Snow crab. I'm not sure about the scarf, I'll tomorrow when I see her.

Re: North Dakota announces name.

So many great potential university and state related nicknames to choose from and they went with Hawks? Very disappointed.
