When/If Fighting Hawks win since that is what is rigged to happen...
jdub27 replied to 01grad's topic in UND Nickname
What exactly was the glorious plan? The company line has always been that the "administration" was in favor of Sundogs. That ended up last in the poll. Now somehow they masterminded Fighting Hawks to come in first? Or they somehow managed to get Nodaks and Roughriders within what would generally be the statistical margin of error and felt that because of how close they were, both should be included? Which for the record is a decision I disagree with, but I digress. Trying to make everyone feel included isn't exactly what I would call a glorious plan. -
is it time to change the GFC-RR district boundary line?

Clearly KnightRiders. The combined girls hockey team already has that covered. -
Can't say I really blame the guy. Need to get back to making the QB uncomfortable. Dropping the LB's back isn't helping the pass defense, so might as well send them.
-
I agreed with you until you got to part where somehow a nickname that was eliminated by the committee should get a bye straight into the finals? Not sure how that makes any sense or adds credibility.

There will be an NBA Hall of Famer on the bench when Montana State visits Grand Forks March 4. http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-basketball/3869783-womens-basketball-john-stockton-takes-job-montana-state-will-face-und

Yes, shame on me for not going around and making knee jerk statements based off of incorrect information. The amusing part is that it was cited in the original post. There's already more than enough misinformation going on with this giant mess, you'd think we could at least get the school colors right.
-
Brings back nightmares of the game two years ago when it was looking respectable and possibly be 21-7 going into half before MSU scored three TD's in the final 3:18 of the first half to take a 42-7 lead.
-
The official colors of the University are Green and Pink. The official athletic colors are Green and White. Last I checked, the nickname is for the athletic team. Why people can't get that right is beyond me.

He made the right decision on the first one, though he should have never reconsidered. I understand (but don't agree) with trying to be all inclusive this time around, but you need to set it up so that there is a majority winner. Trying to make everyone happy (or feel included) is just causing more anger and giving people plenty of ammo to question a process they didn't agree with to begin with.

Putting an incoming president in charge of this dumpster fire wouldn't improve the process. On top of it, he's now in charge and the one everyone can point the finger at., because there is going to be an unhappy group regardless of outcome. Not a good way to start off your presidency. This was Kelley's job to finish from the day he was hired. Despite not agreeing with every decision made, I am willing to give him credit for at sticking around long enough to try to resolve it instead of passing the it on, especially since it has taken a few years longer than anyone imagined.
-
Kudos to Hunter for not dragging out his decision or putting the Twins in a position to have to make a choice. Don't agree with a lot of his off the field/clubhouse stuff, but his on the field performance speaks for itself (last few years notwithstanding). He always to watch patrol center field in the Metrodome.

Have also saw this on various social media platforms today. If people truly are hanging their hat on that logo, they are going to be incredibly upset and claim they were sold a false premise even though UND has had zero to do with that logo floating around.
-
Do either of them play defensive back and can help defend against MSU's aerial attack and preseason All-Conference QB? Seems a little more complex than who UND lines up behind center.
-
I wouldn't hang my hat on "60,000" didn't vote. Anyone who was eligible with an e-mail on file got a link. Tons of alumni could not care less about the process or athletics in general, they just so happened to be in the system, so as an eligible voter, so they were counted whether the wanted to be or not. Same with students or employees. It would be different if every single person had to register ahead of time and could be considered "active".
-
There is a runoff because none of the choices reached the 50% mark. In the runoff, the winner doesn't have to reach the 50% mark. Seems illogical that the reason that triggered the runoff may not actually be fulfilled by the runoff and yet there could still be a winner.
-
Good point on your first line, double conspiracy! Not sure the Roughriders thing is right though, didn't Nodaks edge it in the final poll?
-
All these changes are confusing me: First the administration wanted Sundogs because it was the most PC and that is the only way it could have made the final cut Then UND had already negotiated the rights to North Stars and the fix was in Now they are pushing for Fighting Hawks because it was the likely choice pushed by the consultants
-
I don't think 82,000 registered, that's just how many e-mails were sent out between alumni, students, employees and season ticket holders. If anyone in those groups had an e-mail address on file, they got an e-mail, regardless of whether they updated it in the last month.
-
I like to look at it as resetting the rules to how they were announced. Similar to Kelley consideration in adding back "no nickname". He bordered on the edge of changing the rules and then relented and left the nickname committee's decision as is.
-
This GF Herald poll from a month ago seems to be the only thing I can find where Fighting Hawks polled well. Also not a huge surprise to see the shift in support for Nodaks once Berry and the hockey team came out in favor of it.
-
If someone made it very clear that the Blackhawks concept design created and owned by a random Canadian has zero chance of being the next logo, that would probably swing a lot of votes.
-
Thanks. I assumed since the UND release didn't mention it or the possibility of a third vote, that was now the case. That bothers me more than anything.
