Why fight it now...like other said it will just encourage the nickname supporters and help drive the numbers to get it into ND constitution...and then there is really nothing UND or the SBOHE could do!

Good question. I think the herald or someone should have a poll.

Hey we might as well start the conversation then that the NCHC might kick UND out too while we are at it!

I get why...because if its Fargo. The pro petition/nickname crowd will see a "victory" and the gloom and doom crowd predictions might not be as dire as they are making things out to be. Either way its not cool to wish ill will.

You are wishing ill will on the womens hockey team to prove a point? That sounds like fetch.

Breaking News: Faison said UND is working on a compromise for the Womens Hockey Team to play in Fargo if they are indeed rewarded a home playoff game.

Interesting isn't it? Big Sky is all over the news saying they don't care if UND is the Fighting Sioux or not. They just want UND to be a competitive member, but the NCHC hasn't said a word.

That must be why UND is the 11th Most Popular College in America.

and logo. I hope they got permission to use it. ....maybe they don't need it?

and I think its free to attend UND baseball games?

You think this is jealousy. You should have read Bisonville in the early 2000's.

I made a comment before about how the rest of the FCS will also find out what UND has to put up with in regards to how NDSU fans often act. Top page banner on Championshipsubdivision.com "Congrats Sam Houston State: National runner up" Sponsored by JBB and Lakes.

The point is when UND says enrollment of 14,000, lots of people think its 14,000 students walking around UND campus....right or wrong..."old fashion" thinking. But a certain percent of 14,000 students will never set foot on UND's campus or will for only a week or two a year. I forget the number but 20-30% of UND's enrollment is strictly online? Yeah its great people are getting online degrees. I got no qualm about it. Other than the fact it's easier to cheat. (save your comments I took an online class from UND). All this because, I was just wondering if NDSU actually has more students physically on campus.

Don't get too jealous...its still just talk. Like a new on campus stadium for UND....over a half decade now. Add a year or two or three before its announced and a year (or two) for completion....and it could be 2016 before its open.

Change the Name so I can watch UND play the Gophers!!!! ME ME ME ME ME

I think it is important to the economic impact of the University on Grand Forks. The athletic teams that benefit from having student fans at the games. The employees whose job depends on serving students food and shoveling sidewalks. In no way was I "degrading" online courses/degrees. I think physical bodies are important. More important than online degrees.

No. Pretty sure tomorrow it goes into effect. UND will be the "Fighting Sioux." If the quick count has the required number of signatures.

Watch tonight as they turn in the petitions live. http://www.justin.tv/smj58501#/w/2578341744

But aren't more people actually walking on NDSU's campus?

My prediction is the attorney general will find some thing "wrong" with the petition and it will not go to a vote....I think they have already started implying this with the "left alone" media campaign and The pharmacy petition was deemed invalid a year or two ago based on it not being stapled to the proposal...(or something like that off the top of my head don't have time to look up the semantics). Why would the attorney supporting the petition come out and say this today or yesterday or yester yesterday when the petitioners basically already said they had enough signatures?

Certainty? Do you not base things in reality? Willard Romney is going to be the nominee...no doubt...and is losing to Obama...if that is your "certainty" And that is of today....turn off Fox News. You will get true fair and balanced. sorry this is my last post about this...its forbidden on these forums...and I will follow the rules.

You thought that about Obama last election too.

If true, it is pretty sad. I will now just go sign any petition I don't like under a false name.
