But Kelly is no friend of UND Sports

 

He has never done anything to remotely try & save the Sioux Name

 

He should not be the one to pick a new name

 

He needs to retire so the process can move forward

 

All these meetings & surveys are BS & will never unite those who care

 

Kelly needs to go !

 

Or just stay North Dakota until he is gone

U good folks who are on committees - get out while u can - THANKS for caring & trying but unless Kelly goes away it won't help

 

U / He may come up with a name but unless it is Fantastic & everyone goes whoa wish I would of thought of that - it will never really sell or enspire anyone

 

We all know we were wronged & just North Dakota is the next best alternative

 

In the mean time if there is any remote possibility of keeping the Fighting Sioux - God Bless those who would try

 

Some will say lets see what names they come up with - OK - but get Kelly out of the process

Although I disagree with your opinion on the nickname, I completely agree Kelley needs to retire. I'm not happy the ncaa took Sioux away from us, but plain north Dakota is not good. If you're expecting any name to be as good as Sioux, prepare to be disappointed. I'm setting the name as "pride" that away I can be happy if something halfway decent is selected.

How could've Kelley have saved the name when the SR tribe won't let their people vote. And what would you have done if the tribes approved the name and next year voted to unapprove the name, then UND would have to retire the name anyways. There is a lot of people to blame for this whole thing but it's not all Kelley.

Anyone have any wet ones ?

Funny how Kelley is blamed in your eyes but didn't his boss (SBoHE) try to retire the name when the new REA was being built. That's right he didn't take over UND until 2008. Usually you do what your bosses say or you get fired, unlike your closed minded world that's how the REAL world works.

Do we still have this choice?

 

On a side note, I am friend's with a Native American whose uncle is a huge anti-Sioux name proponent .  She recently posted something to which he responded (he's in the military), 'That is why we serve so you can voice your opinion'.   I would go far as to say to him this also applies to freedom of speech regardless of whose feelings get hurt.
