No, you didn't. Be prepared to get heckled on here if you have an opinion and less than 1000 posts.

Nick

Jost still has a year to develop and has a lot to prove but right now I would assume the expectations are just as high if not higher. He is a massive get... as long as he steps foot on campus.

This... If a nickname beats out just being North Dakota in a public vote I'm fine with that. But let people have a say.

Exactly... the same people that were praising the committee and administration yesterday for doing the right thing are now crying that the president has no backbone.

I'm sure a new sundog logo will change all of that!

Says fightingsioux4life... Lol. Can't make this up.

They don't get to do whatever they want. They are treated differently a lot of the time due to being so recognizable plus a certain portion are drafted by NHL teams. This can be both positive and negative to them. Jeebus, people like you sound like the kid who was stood up by the pretty girl at prom.

People talk like the hockey program owes the other athletic programs something for being so successful... What has women's volleyball done for hockey lately. The people that bitch about the hockey program should really get a clue about where UND gets a hefty amount of their money from. Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

This is also a scare tactic. I have neither read nor heard anywhere that the NC$$ will not allow UND to carry on without a nickname. Here's a news flash... The NC$$ along with the PC crowd might have problems with the rough riders nickname in the not-so-distant future. The PC crowd didn't like Boone from Denver.

"Despite possible consequences" There are a lot of consequences that come with a new nickname that no one can agree on as well. The biggest consequence I hear over and over from the pro nickname crowd is that you can't brand just North Dakota. This is a bunch of bull$%!#. I have a closet full of University of North Dakota apparel with no Sioux connection. The exact stuff they have been selling for a couple of years now. What I won't ever have in my closet is (enter new !@#!$ nickname) clothing. I'm not the only one.

You do realize you just called everyone who doesn't agree with your side of the argument tantrum throwing toddlers right?

It's his legacy... once it's done he's gone. This is just a job to him, he could care less about North Dakota. I bet after he retires he never steps foot back into this state.

This.

This is like a skipping record... the fact was and always will be be is that the public was led to believe that having no nickname was going to be an option. This was until we found out that the whole committee thing was a farce. Just like Standing Rock, silence the popular vote to get what you want.

Ha... this petition has been around for less than 24 hours. Great comparison though.

Here's the thing... you don't get to choose who is a fan of the University of North Dakota. Punishing student-athletes? Have you even heard what the student body and athletes are saying on social media? Once again this boils down to a couple of people making their decisions for the many...

Based on social media alone it is plain to see what the majority of the alumni, students, athletes and fans prefer the North Dakota option... well, at least it's plain to see for those who do not have their blinders on. Several on this site and the committee clearly have theirs firmly attached. Once again the majority of UND fan's wishes will be effed over by a small vocal minority.

You hit the nail on the head... another case of a very small minority making decisions for the majority. I lost a lot of respect for UND today.

If anyone follows mr. dilks on twitter his ranting about how UND copies everything big ten is pretty hilarious....
