UND Votes: Fighting Hawks it Is.

First, I can say, not everyone is going to be happy. For a nickname that received a lot of votes, there are still a lot of unhappy people. 

Also, I am not sure why we had to wait for two more days after the vote was over  

But I digress.

Finally, After not having a nickname for three years, and after three nickname votes...In my humble opinion, the last one was unnecessary. After having a bunch of nickname meetings and committees, UND has a new nickname.  I think this was the best choice of five bad nickname choices. I think eventually we will just be the Hawks.

Here's the link to theshort video announcement:

Total votes: 27,378

• Fighting Hawks: 15,670 votes (57.24 percent)
• Roughriders: 11,708 votes (42.76 percent)

Welcome to the flock @UNDmhockey. #HawksFlyTogether

Look, I'm just happy to have something other than 'UND' to write on a second reference.

Hakstol said the nickname change at ND ... "Should have left it as North Dakota"
