New Mascot search for University of North Dakota

[Fyrebyrd]

Similar to Bradley, UND has been subject to having to change their nickname due to the restrictions put into place with Native American imagery and symbols. They are currently undergoing a public survey to identify potential replacements.

They just published the final list of names they are taking into consideration. Hilariously, they have also published the non-consideration list, which has made for some incredible reading. I encourage you all to go here and get a nice laugh. http://und.edu/nickname/

Also, it's funny to find some of the ones that apparently slipped through the screening process and are on the final consideration list. Such as:

2's Not only does Grand Forks smell like #2, but UND takes #2's in all big game situations.

I expect some nickname that starts with "A" or "B" to be selected because if anyone is asked to vote or name their preference, they would get sick & tired of looking at them all before they'd even scrolled past the A's & B's -

they have probably killed all interest in this endeavor of choosing a new nickname by listing such a long boring list of inane options
