Subject: Nickname voting process. Few concerns/suggestions
 

Mr. Kelley and Mr. Johnson, 

First I would like to thank you for your time in reading this, and I would appreciate if you would give great thought to what I (and probably some others) feel about the nickname voting process.

The selection process in the beginning was fair. All names submitted by the public were given a chance before the committee (although when reading through the list it appeared some names were submitted without the Universities best interest in mind) and the elimination process was above and beyond fair and orderly. The best thing that occurred during this process was involvement of the public and the availability of the process to the public. All of the suggested names, even ones that were obscene, were made public to give the process credibility. After names were eliminated, a new list was made public and details of the elimination were made available. This process, although slow and redundant, showed everything that was involved in the process and left no room for inconsistencies. 

Fast forward to the final five nicknames. The process was clear. 5 names chosen, select members of the community decided upon as eligible voters, timeline of voting, and contingency plan if there is not a nickname receiving majority. I have no complaints of the process up until that point. Once again, the public was given all of the information of the process, and nothing was left up to guessing. 

Then the vote. Voter turnout seemed quite low, which I feel has nothing to do with the selection process but rather by individuals who do not want change or have no interest in participating. All five nicknames received a significant percentage, with none of them receiving a majority so as per process there will be a run off vote between the top two nicknames. The second and third place were extremely close, and it was decided that there will be a three nickname run off vote rather than two. 

I feel this has damaged the whole process and the credibility of everything that has been done up to this point in selection of a new nickname. I understand that it was done due to the close vote margin, but it gives the public an opportunity to have doubt in the process. What if one name received 50.01% of the votes and the margin between the first and second place was less than 100 votes? Would a nickname be finalized as per the agreed process, or would there be a run off? 

I feel that the process was initially in place to make sure that whichever name gets chosen, it will be chosen with a majority vote. If there was no majority in the first round, then the run off between the top two nicknames guarantees a majority. When you place three nicknames in a run off, you no longer have a guarantee that there will be a nickname receiving a majority. This ruins public opinion of the process, as a name could be chosen that did not receive a majority. How can you trust the public to support a nickname that does not receive a majority, and why should they? The public is already sceptical and hesitant to welcome a new nickname, and this does not help us move forward. 

Because of this, I suggest you strongly take the following suggestions to thought;

1) Eliminate the third place nickname. Whether you lose by an inch or a mile, you still lost. The process was set up for a two nickname run off. There will be a majority winner. The process will be completed next week. The University and the public can finally move forward. 

2) If the top three nicknames go to vote and if there is not a majority, then a two nickname run off must occur. There must be a nickname that receives a majority. If a nickname is chosen that only receives 36% of public votes, that nickname will have a tough time being accepted. 

I once again thank you for your time in reading this. I hope you give thought to my words. 

Sincerely,

[The Stanley Cup in GF]

When Commie brought it to REA they had it in the lobby and you could line up to get a picture next to the cup. It was blocked off so no touching. I showed up late, but I think there was also a meet and greet and a little presentation.

Same thing when Belfour brought it to Old REA.

[Greetings from The UAE, brought my Sioux jersey with!]

UAE is semi scenic right?

I think so.

[Greetings from The UAE, brought my Sioux jersey with!]

dude so what if eremey isn't a born here raise here in grand forks

hes trying his best

so what

hes prolly makin 6 figs working for the feds

Born and raised, Grand Forks, ND (United Hospital). Season tickets since 1996. Moved out of GF in 2012 to Winnipeg, now temp stationed in UAE. I still can't believe I dropped the ball and thought Parise wore an A. Oh well.

[Greetings from The UAE, brought my Sioux jersey with!]

JERSEY FOUL!

Wow. I must have had a brain fart when I got it done at REA. The A is gone now. lol. Thanks for letting me know. As for him not wering that style, If you can find me a Nike dazzle jersey that I can have, be sure to send it my way. LOL. I got his name on it because he is one of the greats to come from UND, and I dont feel its a foul if you put a UND Great on almost any style of "Sioux" Jersey (the North Dakota style is another story). The "A" was a foul for sure, can't believe where I got the thought that he wore an A. Probably a bad google search. haha.

Thanks for the comments (the good, the bad, and the Bisonville). The flight was very long. It was 13 hours direct from Chicago, and I won't do that again. It was my first overseas flight, and of course I couldnt sleep at all. But they fed us well.

I have been to the ice rink in Dubai twice and I'm going to the ice rink in Abu Dhabi later this month. I wish I was here in the fall, they actually have an Emirates Hockey League and that would be interesting to watch to say the least.

[Greetings from The UAE, brought my Sioux jersey with!]

So I'm over here in The UAE (United Arab Emirates) and the one thing I had to pack was my green Parise Sioux jersey. It's been averaging over 110F over here, but it still wore it in The Dubai Mall, and even went skating in it. Hope everyone enjoys their summer in the states, I'll hopefully be back by hockey season. Fighting Sioux Forever!

[Sioux Jersey Fouls (or any other jersey, for that matter)]

In my opinion;

Tucked: Foul

Sizing: Hockey Jerseys look better loose, and even better when they are gamers.

New "North Dakota" without number: Doesn't look right, so foul.

UND alums on different era jerseys: If the jersey says "Sioux" and they played in a Sioux jersey (regardless of era/brand), fair. If they played only in a "North Dakota" jersey, then it should stay consistent. *Exception* Engelstad is fair in any style with correct number.

Personalized with your name: fair, I even don't mind it with a "C" or "A" because I'm a fan of patches.

Other team jerseys: totally fair, you paid good money for your jersey, wear it! But don't be bringing NBA jerseys to a hockey game though.

Nicknames on jerseys: fair if appropriate and no innuendos. I saw one this year with his Twitter @ username, found it to be very creative and I followed him because of that.

1/2 and 1/2 jerseys: Foul, pick a team/player and stick with it (unless you're a parent of the 2)

Jerseys with name and not numbers: Foul

Jerseys with numbers and not name: Fair

Name on jersey taped over/ X out: Foul

That's all I can think off off hand.
