[QUOTE="BBQBluesMan, post: 39570, member: 1007"] I have to disagree. Of course thats what people would have voted in, because thats what the people (majority) wanted! Why even hold a vote if the votes are ignored! Do not have to adopt some lame nickname, not just saying that because I dont want a new nickname, they are just terrible. Should have came up with something more clever like Tundra Honkies! Haha. I am truly dissappointed in this decision. Sure after some time the new nickname will be absorbed by new students, etc. But it will take some time. I just cant see myself buying any Fighting Hawk, North Star, Sundog, Nodak, or Roughrider gear or going to games or donating money, etc. The school WILL lose a lot of Alumni and fan support (including current students) over this bonehead decision. I hope they are happy with it. They would have been fine sticking with no nickname and still prospered. Those chickensh*ts on the committee knew if it was moved forward thats what people would choose. Whats your nickname? North Dakota, nuff said. :;:thumbsup Maybe I am just stubborn and hardheaded, but this really does grind my gears. Ol Hakstol got out at the right time. [/QUOTE]
