This......^^^^^^

So I'll ask again............what was Kelley thinking putting the just "North Dakota" option (no nickname) back on the table after the committee sent him 5 nickname options? I struggle to understand how the president of the universiy can't or won't grasp what you just spelled out above.

Let's assume your last statement above is 100% accurate and factual......................................could Kelley come off looking like any more of a joke? How could he not know this? For him to bring back "no nickname" as an option flies in the face of your comment above. I'm not good at math but this 2 +2 is not equalling 4 if your post is fact.

Problem I see is SU putting 8 in the box and challenging UND to make plays thru the air. Regardless of the perceived mismatch in the lines it is tough to run when there are more defenders in the box than blockers. Simple math unfortunately.

I for one can only hope it comes down to these options as the final 2 to vote on.

I bet that the over 60 crowd that night at the Pitchfork Fodue prior to the muscial was only talking about condoms..............................

I'll guess...........Fetch?

MVC preseason team announced and Wentz isn't the QB? QB from ILS is. Somebody get Kiper on speed dial!

If we were to discuss only things that are 100% true on this site we would still be kicking the dead horse that Hak's F4 record was atrocious and he could not win a Natty...and I think we have all had enough of that. My "in the know" just texted me "Fighting Sioux" might not be dead after all..................

They scrapped the weiner race because the Polish sausage was too offensive.

Don't think many will disagree with you but have you followed the committee leading up to revealing the final 5. The fact it is still in the running should not surprise anyone.

Now North Stars isn't great by any stretch but better than Nodaks, Sundogs and Hawks by a long ways.

I've heard "they" will try to shove the round peg in the square hole to get Fighting Hawks in as the new nickname. I'm sure my "in the know" is as worthless information wise as everyone else's though.

Well.........we are talking about Kelley. It really wouldn't surprise me if he has not checked on that topic.

Well played sir!

Correct.......but that was brief and only in between fawning over Jack Eichel!

How about the UND North Sundaks?

Fighting Sunhawks?

So my question is: What's next and when will "that" happen? To me if there is a vote for any more than 2 options it is going to create an even a bigger mess. Seems "North Dakota" and "Rough Riders" are in the lead heading down the stretch. Vote.....get it over with...and move on!

Stop! This........^^^ all makes way too much sense over what actually transpired.

I'd give you a +10 if I could

Fair enough.........I would give it a 1. I get those on the committee are in a tough spot but there definitely was some personal agendas that were brought to the table and some unreasonable explanations for eliminating or keeping some options....give them a 3. Kelley gets a -2 just because.....he is Kelley and this is how he operates. The "process" itself get a zero because frankly I don't know if any real head way has been made since day 1 in this process thur today. So doing basic math: 3 + -2 + 0 = 1

So about how you thought it would sake out?

Either one of those options are my top 2 right now.

The ENTIRE process.......everyone involved, decisions made....blah, blah, blah. A number.....that's all I wanted.
