nash61 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 There's also an idea for the next GTOV:(University of North Dakota) "Sharks with Lasers- You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads!"And a fantastic one that slipped through onto the consideration list:"Sinking Ship- The athletic department is a sinking ship, anchored down by the hockey program"EDIT: "Xiphactinus" was left without comment, and made the consideration list.

nash61 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 They released lists of the suggestions that were received. A "consideration" and a "non-consideration". Spoiler alert: some that we thought would be great are nons.So how much would we have to pay Canada to take Grand Forks off of our hands again?Alaska On September 20, 2012 at 0:50 AM, 'CS85 said: It's like watching the hellish undead creakily shuffling their way out of the flames of a liposuction clinic dumpster fire.

MDGP Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 How the hell did Seminoles get onto the "consideration" list? I've got a dribbble, check it out if you like my stuff; alternatively, if you hate my stuff, send it to your enemies to punish their insolence!

mbannon92 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Not sure why "anal seepage" and "big dicks" didn't make the consideration list. (I only made it to the Bs haha) You'd think they would've at least filtered that doc before releasing it.

ICTknight Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I don't think anything is going to be better than Fighting Sioux. Second best is just the University of North Dakota. No other name will sound right to me. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All submissions were published to as to be transparent. Many of those nicknames, no doubt, come from NDSU Bison and Minnesota Golden Gopher fans.

altosax29b Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 DAE think the Flood Fighters suggestion might actually be pretty decent? "Flood fighting" is a phrase that is used in the state, plus it keeps the "fight" element of the nickname which I think is pretty classy. At the same time, Flood Fighters sounds like the local plumbing company that you hire to fix your sink when it starts to leak. It also looks like "Foo Fighters," and some will argue it sounds like a minor league team. I think it's an interesting name at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
