    Re: And it gets weirder up north

    10/25/15: top three names now moving on to a runoff vote for the U of North Dakota are Fighting Hawks, Roughriders and NoDaks.

      My guess its the fighting hawks. Close to the forbidden Fighting Sioux. Let them eat cake.

        Fighting Hawks and NoDaks are terrible. I guess I'd go with Roughriders by process of elimination.

          Good luck. Fighting Hawks, I agree is terrible but that what those crazy hockey nuts want so they are the tail wagging the dog.

            Fighting Hawks immediately becomes Sparrow Hawks and hence to Chicken Hawks.

            Roughriders has . . . er . . . "Trojans"-type connotations.

            NoDaks is just kinda lame.

            Too bad "Mean Green" is already taken (North Texas, I believe).

            Maybe they can pull a Stanford and just be the Green.

            What a mess.

                I think they choose NoDaks and just continue to use North Dakota for all their logos, etc. That way most of their fans can just continue to refer to them as the Sioux.

                  Why dont they just go with the Fighting NoDaks?

                    Oddly the push to be the Fighting Hawks started with a logo that the University might not even use....

                        Supposedly it is...I've seen a few of their fans posting it on twitter. A few people were saying that has gotten traction with the student body. It was created by a Chicago Blackhawks fan obviously, not sure why they assume their admin will go for it. Of course the logo will be the next thing they whine about no matter what is chosen.

                        Also the Roughrider group has created their own logo to push....

                            that is a sweet logo, IMO.
