Never underestimate the stubbornness of the people of North Dakota. Hopefully the alumni education campaign is well-run (it got off to a not-so-great start).
NDSU's finances are still a mess thanks to Chapman. That's why NDSU is crying every year screaming that they're going to have to shut down programs if the state doesn't give them more money.....
Nice avoidance of the question. Allow me to rephrase. If coaches, players, faculty, staff, alumni, and the board can't convince you that the Fighting Sioux name and logo will cause more harm than good to UND, who could?
WRONG!! If the flower can't be called a rose, then I say kill the flower!!! Let's bring in a piece of dog sh*t and call that a rose!!! I don't care about the flower, I just want my ROSE!!!
That's wishfull thinking on our part. More likely to be Duluth and Grand Valley State (or someone at that level of play), although other options are probably out there.
I can kind of see both sides of the cartoon debate. I think what people are getting caught up on is they associate the word cartoon with the trash you see on Nickelodeon today. Others use the word cartoon for anything that is animated. I believe many animations/cartoons can be considered art. Watch an older Disney movie for example.
