North Dakota announces name.

Re: North Dakota announces name.

Maybe the logo can be a Rough Rider who ends up assimilating with a Sioux tribe and gets really tan and then has feathers in his hair.

The latest out of Vegas:

50:1 Green Hawks - Might as well be the Chicken Hawks because that is what everyone else will call you
35:1 Fighting Hawks - Still grasping at the past with every dying breath and see above
20:1 Sundogs - A weak attempt to make ASU join the NCHC
19:1 Nodaks - Has a "fighting" chance to get selected but then why not just be the North Dakota North Dakotians
10:1 None [North Dakota] - Everyone in the UND admin would love for this to be the winner, but after all these years of battling over this, no way they're picking [Nothing]
4:1 North Stars - North Dakota North Stars is too Northerly, but it likely has a good chance.
3:2 Roughriders - Your odds on favorite, everyone wants some angry tough new warrior name that they'll never use at games anyway so here you go.

1. Green Hawks isn't terrible.
2. Fighting Hawks also not terrible.
3. Sundogs makes zero sense.
4. Nodaks is terrible
5. Did I miss something? All I've heard for years is that they are not allowed to pick "nothing." They have to have a nickname, right?
6. Cut out this North Stars stuff
7. Roughriders is OK...Cavalry would have been way better.

So...am I right? UND has to have a nickname and can't just be UND, right?

They don't have to have a nickname, but the admins seem to think that having something else official on the books people will suddenly stop using the name Fighting Sioux. If you've been to a [ ] game recently, after several years of officially having no name, if you think ANYONE in the building cheering for UND ISN'T still using Sioux, you would be mistaken. They can't even get through the National Anthem without the entire UND fan base yelling it. Regardless of what they come up with, the only folks who are going to be using it are those in charge of merchandise manufacturing.

OK...there is absolutely no reason for me to ever believe anything you have to say. Can anyone with a legit source tell me if there is or isn't an NCAA rule that a college HAS to have a nickname?

It certainly seems like UND can go without a nickname. Why else would North Dakota be in the final seven choices? But there hasn't been any legit source that has come out and said one way or the other.

I feel like that's just in the final group as kind of an "F you" to the whole process. But I could be wrong.
 
Re: North Dakota announces name.

I hope it's Roughriders, only because that flies in the face of what all the PC crowd wants. A quote by Teddy:

In 1886, Roosevelt criticized the morals of Indians he had seen:
I don't go so far as to think that the only good Indians are dead Indians, but I believe nine out of ten are, and I shouldn't like to inquire too closely into the case of the tenth. The most vicious cowboy has more moral principle than the average Indian. Turn three hundred low families of New York into New Jersey, support them for fifty years in vicious idleness, and you will have some idea of what the Indians are. Reckless, revengeful, fiendishly cruel, they rob and murder, not the cowboys, who can take care of themselves, but the defenseless, lone settlers on the plains.
