sioux34 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 If Roughriders wins, we should have a winner take all hockey game between the schools! Hey, I live in Cedar Rapids and our junior team would like in on that action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sioux34 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I voted Roughriders this go around, but I can guarantee that I will never buy any new merchandise. I will have to get by with the Sioux gear I already own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obborg Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Regardless of the outcome this process has been a complete Sh*t ShowThis sentiment seems to be something we can all agree with, in fact I have yet to see a single disagreement with this type of post. I for one agree as strongly as anyone. But there seems to be a disconnect. Sure, people realize (to varying degrees) the truth that this process is a hoax. But then they are somehow able to shelf that truth and carry on actively participating in said hoax. In such cases, condemning the process condemns the self. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 My biggest knock (and it's monstrous in my mind): The inability of an academic to follow the process he himself defined. Case Study 1: The committee recommendations, then he adds to them, then backtracks. Case Study 2: The Vote on 5 where 2 3 will advance. Changing on the fly reeks of academic arrogance. If the man hadn't declared himself gone in January, I'd be seeing to it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOL Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 The saddest part of this whole ordeal is that it seems like maybe 5-10% of people are truly excited about one of these options. The others are voting which they can tolerate. i can't tolerate either, therefore I didn't vote. I felt the same way, but one of these two names are going to win, so I really think you should use your right to vote and vote for one. Trust me, if there was a "none of the above" category, I would have chosen it, but I really felt obligated to vote in the long run. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yzerman19 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 when does this gong show end? Truthfully, I am asking the timeline of when we will know the results of the voting- obviously I am not very close to this- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choyt3 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Regardless of the outcome this process has been a complete Sh*t Show and I'll put most of the blame on the 2nd committee for not adhering to the criteria set forth by the 1st committee when narrowing down the potential nicknames...............the rest of the blame I'll put on Kelley..............just because he's Kelley. I totally agree. Really? I just blame the NC$$ for sucking at life.Bernie Franklin deserves having someone with a bullhorn 3" from his ear screaming "JACKASS!" into it for the rest of his miserable existence.Here's the guy I blame that seemed to have started this process we see today. Him starting it may not be the fairest way to put it, but his involvement seemed to finally make things "stick" for the change-the-nickname crowd. https://www.linkedin.com/in/roy-hirofumi-saigo-6742978 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siouxperfan7 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 when does this gong show end? Truthfully, I am asking the timeline of when we will know the results of the voting- obviously I am not very close to this-Based on how long it took to get the previous 2 voting results announced, I would expect to hear something late afternoon next Wednesday the 18th. Does that mean all this is over? I think most of us can agree....not by a long shot!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I'm like Joe Kennedy in 1960 Chicago...when it comes to the general election, I'm not going to pay for one more vote than necessary!

Popular Post TrueSioux2000 Posted November 15, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted November 15, 2015 Hey I'd rather be a condom than be the absolute worst nickname is college athletics Condom over all those hawk schools, please! Hopefullly we play USC so you guys can get excited over a real condom brand. I've, sincerely never heard of Rough Rider, and idk even know if it's regional? But Trojan is national and USC is more than fine. If we become Fighting Hawks; will it be the end of the world? Absolutely not, we'll still sweep Miami or whoever. But "The Hawks keep it in their zone, but a hawks player clear it for a one on one opportunity for the hawks.......AND THE HAWKS SCORE" is not unique. I've been told by fellow students that "A high school here is the roughriders and its stupid to be the same" and I say, yea you're right....be number 43 Hawk or be an original college Roughrider. Such a tough choice!!!!! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
