  1. Born: Union Hospital, Mayville, ND I find Nodak, when used by a non-North Dakotan toward a North Dakotan, is used as a derogatory term intended to mean "backwards" or "hick".
  2. Again I say bologna. Abe Vigoda guy (siouxphan27) was staunchly "anti- Roughriders" and he's saying "top two" when we know it takes his favorite out of play. There are others. What's good for the University is to not appear to be influencing the vote by arbitrarily and capriciously changing the rules on the fly. What's good for the University is to make statements and live to them.
  3. Bologna. The final process was defined and advertised. If this was only an advisory vote and the rules could be changed on the fly it should've been advertised as such. If Kelley wanted an advisory vote he should've said that. Instead, we have a blatant renege on the process that was defined and advertized by Dr. Kelley. "Renege" is a nice way of saying we've all been lied to. When will it happen again.
  4. The committee recommended it, but Kelley adopted it. Kelley changing the process he advertised is not acceptable. If he wanted to retain control he should have held an advisory vote and said he'd use those results to define the next step. Instead, he defined a process and then reneged. He lied to me; he lied to all of us.
  5. Exactly. Was it 100? 200? 250? Top two means top two. With five options a small gap between numbers two and three should've been easily considered and expected. The process as laid out handled it: top two. The process needs to be followed as advertised and this "Don Adam" (make this ---- up as I go) stuff has to stop.
  6. Hasn't happened much lately, but here we agree. Follow the process. If it's not followed here what "Don Adam" thing will be used next.
  7. We need to demand the process that was defined be followed. Tell him. robert.kelley@und.edu
  8. Kelley came to his senses and followed the process (committee recommendations) before. He must follow the process, HIS process, again or he's clearly open to the criticism that he's manipulating the outcome.
  9. Dr. Kelley needs to step back and follow the process he defined and just go with two. Otherwise how are we to not believe that he'll change the rules again this round? He needs to maintain the integrity of his own process.
  10. My question is this: Will Kelley backtrack on putting three on the ballot or will he backtrack on not requiring a majority vote in round two? Backtracking and changing the rules midstream are the only parts of this process that have been consistent.
  11. No, he's in the B1G not the NCHC.
  12. To me the GFRRHS issue is a non-issue. For many years in the Canadian Football League (same league!) there were the Rough Riders (Ottawa) and the Roughriders (Saskatchewan). If Canadians could manage that, folks in Grand Forks can manage UND being called "Roughriders".
  13. Folks, Jonathan Toews is a winner.
  14. Is either team being coached by Ditka?
  15. I've wondered that. I wonder what the Qualtrics contract with UND says. If they just have to report the final or outcome results, UND will get a letter that says "___________ won by getting a majority." An open records request will only get that letter to UND (because depending on the contract stipulations Qualtrics is not subject to open records). Now if the contract says "report all survey results to UND" an open records request will show it all.
  16. Subaru, eh? Sturdy. Reliable. Dependable. Efficient. Prepared for anything (symmetrical all wheel drive). In it for the long haul. Roughrider.
  17. Like it or not, people perceive your comments on how well you present them. If you're going to criticise the offensive play calling or the offensive coordinator it might be good to not call them what you hear (offense of) but what the jobs are (offensive). And for the record, I'd like better, less conservative, play calling with a lead. It's pretty clear that in the BSC a 14 point second half lead is something most teams can easily overcome over good defenses.
  18. Someone is reporting Schlossman's doings and antics here. I report the Fargo Forum's doings and antics here. And the difference is ...
  19. Did I say that's what the logo would be? No. That's how the Fargo Forum perceives what a "Nodak" is. The largest newspaper in the state perceives the word "Nodak" to be a bibs wearin' hick. So keep your money, or bet the Forum editorial board (as it's their work), and quit shooting messengers.
  20. Yup. Folks didn't read.
  21. That cartoon was the prime editorial cartoon in Sunday's Fargo Forum. That's not a scare tactic by me; the Forum is putting that out there; that is reality, and not of my doing. Please save your vitriol for them.
