The votes are in and the winner is....

 
not Sun Dogs or North Stars.

In results announced Sunday, none of the five nickname options for North Dakota received over 50% of the votes so three choices will advance to another round of voting. Originally, only two would advance but there was a 1% difference between second and third places so the decision was made by the school administration to include three choices (%/votes received in the first round shown below) in a runoff:

  • Fighting Hawks 31%
  • Roughriders 21%
  • Nodaks 20%
The re-vote will be held November 2 - November 6.

Nodaks is the only original choice remaining. Fighting Hawks is seriously generic, and RoughRiders is already used in the CFL and USHL.

I hope this weekend when ND takes CC to the woodshed, there is no inbreeding of their fans.
