Pretty sure I am not the only one that is calling the "Fighting Sioux Forever" crowd "temper tantrum throwers". Geaux basically called them "toddlers" in the initial posting on this thread. And I agree with him. As Mr. Spock (the late Leonard Nimoy) used to put it: "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Or the one."

I am talking about the NCAA determining in their infinite wisdom (sarcasm) that "North Dakota" is really a clandestine version of "Fighting Sioux". Then it's back on the naughty list with Alcorn State and with that, all the problems that it will cause our coaches and student-athletes.

What would you call people that want to stay "North Dakota" forever, despite the possible consequences to the entire institution? Is there a better term for those people that wrote into the Heraldo today threatening to not support UND anymore? If you have a better term, then tell me. I suppose selfish would fit the bill.

You just proved me right, as always. You want what you want and that is all that matters in your little world. Oh, and nice insult. Name calling means you are losing the argument.

You are what is wrong with UND right now. You and all of your temper tantrum throwing toddler colleagues. Get over yourself.

Look out geaux, you'll have your loyalty questioned if you say things like that. Even if it is 100% true.

No wise guy, I am not changing my user name. I will leave it as a tribute to the greatest nickname and logo of all time. Because I am not happy they are gone. But they are gone and the longer we drag this whole thing out (10 years this August 5th), the more damage will be done to UND. But there are so many people (and a bunch of them wrote whining and crying letters to the Heraldo) that only want what they want and screw the consequences. Well, I care way more about UND than that. And anyone that disowns UND over this should just find the door, get out and don't let the door hit your a$$ on the way out. As for people questioning my loyalty to this institution and all of our programs, you can just bite me. My credentials are impeccable. I went to games as a kid, as a UND student and now as a season ticket holder to hockey and football. I have worked at UND for the better part of 12 years now; this place is pretty much a second home to me. So anyone that casually suggests that I don't care about UND because I want to move on from this nickname quagmire can kiss my a$$ because you don't know me and you don't know what you are talking about. And if hockey is all that matters and all that should matter, why don't we just go non-scholarship in all our other sports and focus on men's and women's hockey 100%? Either that or move back down to D-II and hook up with the NSIC. We'll get a chance at revenge on Grand Valley State in the D-II football playoffs, doesn't that just make you tingle all over? I will continue supporting UND no matter what happens the next couple of months. Anyone that wants to get off the bandwagon (and there was one in the Heraldo today) can get off and stay off. We don't need you. End Rant.

All Schlossman cares about is hockey and that means his opinion should be taken with a grain of salt.

Politics make strange bedfellows, my friend. And this issue is no exception.

This "libtard" is against Sun Dogs and is for Roughriders. But you can continue to believe what you want.

http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/education/3801860-undnorth-dakota-nickname-eliminated-committee I loved Commie as a player (like a lot of us in the student section back in the 1990's), but I think his complaints would hold more water if he would have volunteered to serve on the committee (even if it was from a distance). As it is, he is just throw rocks from his glass house.

You would think so. But stupidity has a habit of getting its way.

Love your avatar!

I would say that is where I am as well.

Whoops, my bad.

It's the Sun Dog supporters and probably the influence from that consultant. Still trying to figure out what he is doing there.

Good thing the committee isn't making the choice themselves.

robert.kelley@UND.edu Make your voices heard people.

I want Sun Dogs off the list first. And I want it done tonight!!!

Why? So we can have final vote totals of 25, 20, 20, 20 and 15? So the process becomes even more of a bad joke than it already is? KG has been a huge disappointment to me.

Or that.

So help me, if Karl does anything to Deep Six this one......

Come on boys, let's stay on the same page here. Let's not give FU fans any more fodder to use at our expense.

Most of the people criticizing Roughriders are the same kind of people that would support Sun Dogs. Just sayin....

I strongly suspect that the letters to the editor criticizing Roughriders are Sun Dog supporters trying to deep-six Roughriders so that their choice wins by default. They can't win on the merits, so they are going straight for the gutter.
