Consideration List: http://und.edu/nickname/consideration-list.pdf
Non-Consideration List: http://und.edu/nickname/non-consideration-list.pdf
WARRIORS made the consideration list.
Golden Eagles? Nowhere to be found.

That non-consideration list is hysterical. I havent gone through all of them, and there are of course a fair share of profane items, but a few from A-C that I thought were kinda funny:
2% terrorists - These terrorists forcing this thing amount to 2%
abcdefghjklmnpqrtvwyz - The letters s, i, o, u, and x have deleted from the alphabet because we are not the sioux
Agreeable to Everybodys
Cuddly Kerpaws - Because my cat is really cute and brings a lot of good luck....BTW kerpaw is also my cats name.
-
How about the 100+ pages of "Fighting Sioux" submissions? It looked like many were submitted by the same person because the comments were the same but we know how their next 30 years is going to play out.
I'm shocked UND.edu didn't edit out the obnoxious ones but i'm glad they didn't.....UND Baby Punchers! HA!
-
Ya think they'd want Gold?
-
Admiral Ackbar made the nonconsideration list. They must have thought he was too slow picking up on the Empire's trap.
-
Best thing I've read in a while.
-
So these made the consideration list:
2%ers Because at UND the opinion of 2% of the people control what everyone else MUST feel.
2's Not only does Grand Forks smell like #2, but UND takes #2's in all big game situations.
Buffalo Skinners great rivalry for ndsu bison. The pride of the prairie- by eliminating the vast herds of buffalo it made possible to have farms and ranches
Citronaut Worked well for Florida Technical School before switching to Knights ... There is literally nothing cooler than a Astronaut thats an Orange
Data Miners Miners is obvious. data would make UND the first team with a computer connotation
Dirt Because Bison trample on it continuously
----
Yet Coyotes, Ermine, Falcons, Fighting Pike, Jets, Mammoths, Nokotas, Oilers, Prairie Dogs, and Rough Riders are on the non-consideration list?
Publishing unfiltered lists of entries with perplexing consideration decisions...they have some former MU administrators on staff or something?

There was a movement at Ole Miss a few years ago to adopt Admiral Ackbar as their mascot and get rid of the old slave owner.

Would have been awesome if Ole Miss had made it happen, instead of a boring black bear.

These are nicknames people voted for that won’t work because an associated domain name is unavailable, because UND’s settlement with the NCAA prohibits their use, or because they are vulgar.

Guessed the intern that did the filtering missed the (number) 2's and the (NDSU) Buffalo Skinners. May the MU freshman responsible for our next name change campaign push the Buzz's Floaters and Rodent Exterminators to the Consideration List. :D

NDSU Attorneys
So they can still chant "Sue" "Sue" "Sue"...

Not sure if this was ever discussed here, but the arena at UND was built with thousands of old Fighting Sioux logos strategically placed throughout the arenas is ways/places that would make it very difficult to have them all removed. One is imbedded in granite, tiny logos in walls, etc.. I guess this forced the NCAA to allow some of the logos to stay.

These are hilarious.
Anal Seepers - because anal seepage is a staple of campus life at UND

I loved that so much.
