What are you going to call the 58% of ND voters who vote YES on Tuesday? Are they all racist because they voted to terminate the logo?
-
So we have no ND offers?
-
I can no longer click on reputation to see who gave it (when it is in fact given). Is this something on my computer or something with the upgrade?
-
10 days until DaveK and Fetch explode.

I quoted you word for word, exactly as you said it. Besides, catsup and ketchup both are exactly the same, just like the Fighting Sioux and the Wild Nokotas are exactly the same.
-
You just proved yourself wrong. You can say Ketchup and we'll say catsup, but it still all tastes the same. You can change the name and product stays the same. I'm SO glad you pointed that out.

Oregon Board of Education votes to ban Native American mascots
Hawkster replied to darell1976's topic in UND Nickname
Didn't know that. Thanks. Beats me how they get away with it. -
Oregon Board of Education votes to ban Native American mascots
Hawkster replied to darell1976's topic in UND Nickname
When MN made that rule back in the 80's, schools that had the Warrior name could keep the name if they switched from an Indian mascot to one like, say, a Roman soldier. A warrior doesn't necessarily have to be a Native American, but a Fighting Sioux can only be one thing. -
It boils down to a loss either way. Even a 100-0 blowout does UND no good, but true, a loss to Mines would be even more humiliating. To the people who jumped all over me because I'm not enthused about Mines, well I sure hope I don't see you posting any complaints about the team this year
-
Yea, against School of Mines. We can hardly wait.

Dave, so many people have seen the light and switched sides. I know 5 years ago I was in the tiny minority wanting the name changed. Now, thankfully a lot of people who fried me for that position are some of biggest proponents and I applaud them for realizing the need. It's time to do the right thing and move on, really.
-
Funny how it's come down to DaveK, Fetch, and Chewey against the world. With any luck, those will be the only 3 "No" votes that show up in the June vote.

Hey bison06, this has nothing to do with anything you've posted. I'm just wondering what your avatar says? There is no way for me to read that fine print. You probably would have made a good lawyer. Ha Ha.
-
Modest sanctions. Is that something like Slightly Pregnant? Sanctions are sanctions, and UND can't survive with them.
-
Exactly.
-
The thing is, you've said enough other things just as absurd that you're credibility isn't so great. It's hard to tell when you're being sarcastic and when you're willing to go down in flames with the entire school to save the name.
-
Two words mean more to you then an entire institution? You can't be serious? You either have lost all touch with reality, or you're just here to troll. In either case, I wish you'd fold up your tent and leave.
-
So you're saying you wouldn't have a problem with us dropping the Sioux name if they get rid of the Seminoles and the Chippewas too?
-
I'm wishing we still have an athletic dept. in a year.
-
Until What??? You one issue Sally's finally realize this is serious and give up what has been a lost cause for the last 6 years?

POLL: Should UND-NDSU Resume the Football Series?
Hawkster replied to ShilohSioux's topic in Football
I'm confused, how can NDSU only have 3 games scheduled for 2014? I would assume they have the usual conference games as well. Unless, of course the Mo Valley kicks them out for that offensive moniker. -
I didn't expect a decision today. But this quote is telling: Erickson said he “will try to render an opinion in the near future.” I would anticipate a ruling in a week or so. I'm sure he'll look at it thoroughly and then rule that SL has no standing and that will render the rest of the issues moot.
-
I've heard from a credible source that the Odney Advertising Agency in Fargo has been hired to conduct research polls on people's attitudes on the name change, SBoHE, the ND Legislature, UND, and relationships with the sovereign tribes. I'm guessing that is probably related to the phone calls. Seems like there is a plan to combat the hysteria out there. I would love to see the poll numbers, but I'm sure those will be kept private.
-
But you don't have the REAL evil listed. No UND athletic department. What is so hard to understand about that? ?
-
Wow. Two words mean more to you then an entire institution. I wish my degree was in Psychology rather then Poli Sci, because I sure would love to analyze you.
