darell1976 Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Has anyone seen it on tv? I saw it twice last night on WDAY. Its sponsored by the UND alumni (Tim O'Keefe) and its a pretty powerful video. I wish I had a link to it. Quote
ScottM Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Is it on You Tube yet? I can't access the site from work. Quote
82SiouxGuy Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Is it on You Tube yet? I can't access the site from work. I didn't find it on Youtube with a quick search. It isn't on the Alumni web site either. I haven't seen the ad, but I heard the audio. It sounded pretty good. Quote
Oxbow6 Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Powerful indeed...after watching it, I've started stocking up on batteries, bottled water and canned goods! 1 Quote
Goon Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) Yeah I was wondering if this is the link that we're talking about? Edited May 23, 2012 by Goon Quote
zonadub Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 I know we are past the point where we are fighting to save the name and the PC zealots have had their way with us. But while looking for the ad referred to in this thread, I ran across this Williams & Ree bit on youtube: Fighting Sioux "...apparently some sensitive white people are that way." Quote
UNDColorado Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Yeah I was wondering if this is the link that we're talking about? No I believe they mentioned above that it was a tv commercial; most likely a 30 - 45 second spot. Quote
Fetch Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 should have spent a quarter Million to save the name or several million instead of trying to keep up with fargo Quote
darell1976 Posted May 23, 2012 Author Posted May 23, 2012 No I believe they mentioned above that it was a tv commercial; most likely a 30 - 45 second spot. Correct it shows a women's hockey player putting on equipment then it shows a UND football player putting pads on while they say why the name needs to go then it lists teams UND cannot play: Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and South Dakota State. Then it shows a football player in a stadium and the phrase (can't remember how its worded exactly), " if we keep the name...we lose" then the lights turn off on the football player. Vote Yes on Measure 4 to Retire the Fighting Sioux Nickname. Quote
UNDBIZ Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 should have spent a quarter Million to save the name or several million instead of trying to keep up with fargo If I'm remembering correctly, I believe attorney fees were near $1 million by the time the settlement with the NCAA was reached to give UND 3 years to get SL and SR's permission to use the name. SR still refuses to give permission.... Quote

ScottM Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 DISGUSTING AND OFFENSIVE!!! Does the truth hurt, Dave? Quote
82SiouxGuy Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 DISGUSTING AND OFFENSIVE!!! Yes, your attitude is. Quote
geaux_sioux Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 Is it on You Tube yet? I can't access the site from work. ever try ninjaproxy? Quote
geaux_sioux Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 DISGUSTING AND OFFENSIVE!!! Stop looking in the mirror and watch the video Quote
82SiouxGuy Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 Here is the ad in question. I believe there may be others also. Quote
82SiouxGuy Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 No, but the lies spewed in that ad campaign sure do. People actual working in the situation who should know what is happening say truth. Anonymous poster on internet who isn't involved with the school, whose only connection to the school is an obsession with the nickname and logo says lies. Who are you going to believe? 4 Quote
The Sicatoka Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 No, but the lies spewed in that ad campaign sure do. Please define the lies. Be specific as that lends to your credibility. Quote
homer Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 No, but the lies spewed in that ad campaign sure do. What are the lies you are speaking of Dave? As Sik said above, lets hear them. Quote
jdub27 Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 "Ratings have been disabled for this video" Gee, I wonder why? They didn't want uninformed people spewing misleading information. I'd also like to join in the those asking you for what lies are in that ad. Quote
darell1976 Posted May 24, 2012 Author Posted May 24, 2012 Here is the ad in question. I believe there may be others also. https://www.youtube....h?v=lvOsom_RKkM Thats the one!! I like how they list the name of schools...the one school that has to be an eye opener is SDSU. Because they are the only non Big 10 team and is on even ground with every UND sport. It shows that any FCS school could easily come out against UND including NDSU (remember they don't need us and have moved on). Quote
Goon Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 Please define the lies. Be specific as that lends to your credibility. Yeah I would like to see the lies that he is talking about too. Quote
Siouxperfan7 Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 No, but the lies spewed in that ad campaign sure do. Yes Dave, we are all curious to hear these lies you speak of. Where is the video is a lie told? Don't go off on a tangent, stick to what was said in this video and point out the lies. We are all anxiously waiting your response. Quote
