UND accepting Nickname suggestions

Post by dbackjon »

http://und.edu/nickname/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
The University of North Dakota Nickname Committee is collecting suggestions for a new nickname. Suggestions will be accepted from April 1, 2015 at 8 a.m. CDT to April 30, 2015 at 11:59 p.m. CDT. The online submission form will be removed at the end of the suggestion period.

The Nickname Committee will evaluate nickname suggestions based on a list of previously suggested attributes, including:

1.Be unique, recognizable, inspiring, and distinctly UND’s.
2.Promote a sense of pride, strength, fierceness, and passion.
3.Be representative of the state and region in a way that honors the traditions and heritage of the past but also looks to the future.
4.Be a unifying and rallying symbol.

This is just "Humans" not "Human Beings". I think it will be fine. How many wildcats or cats are there in sports today?

SuperHornet's Athletics Hall of Fame includes Jacksonville State kicker Ashley Martin, the first girl to score in a Division I football game. She kicked 3 PATs in a 2001 game for J-State.
