if you read my sentence in its entirety, you would notice I said the logo would be our own. I was not talking about the name itself; that wasn't the topic of my post.
-
I agree. If fighting hawks is chosen and this is the type of logo wanted, we can make enough changes to a profile of a hawk and call it our own. The supposed "confusion" of these "uninformed" college students voting for hawks solely based on a logo seems a little contradictory. All kinds of already owned, unusable roughriders logos have been all over this website for months in an effort to pump up enthusiasm for roughriders. Go figure. There is no way of knowing if there are more hawks supporters who think that specific hawk logo is usable, than there are roughriders supporters who think any of the roughrider logos floating around are usable. And I thank those roughriders supporters who are stuck in circular logic/groupthink mode in advance for the ensuing thumbs downs.

on this site, yes. But as we just saw in the actual election, the thoughts on this site didn't really hold true to the general und population's vote. it would be interesting to poll everyone on this site that voted for nodaks originally, and see how they would vote now if fighting hawks and Roughriders were the only two options
-
IMO you may be overestimating the hatred for Hawks. I'm guessing some voted For nodaks because they were not enamored with any of the four other choices. So if this would've played out like it should have, I don't think the ratio of original Nodak voters switching to RR would be much larger than those switching to Hawks.....
-
I give up. Is that Wilford Brimley cutting and shocking an oats field?
-
exactly. what happens if during the run off vote, all three names finish within 116 votes of each other? do we just say "You're all Winners!" and move forward with three nicknames? we can't even define a "winner" or a "loser", without fear of offending some of those losers who were good tryers and came so close to winning! modern day academia at its finest.

I figured since this is strictly an email election, there really couldn't be any error. it's not like there's hanging chads, or someone screwed up the rest of their ballot while voting for county sheriff and their entire ballot got rejected, etc. he's mucking up the process. the sad part is he doesn't even realize it.
-
thanks ericpnelson. I respect the original process laid out for the voting. Not following the plan just adds another level of frustration and skepticism for the passionate fans/alumni/donors.
-
Yes...... but, people will complain regardless.... but in the case of Nodaks, any complainers wouldn't have a leg to stand on.... Nodaks got third most votes, so it's out... well, I figured since you're mafia and all you'd appreciate some Italian.
-
I had the same thoughts. it's unlikely, but these current percentages could be meaningless if a bunch of new voters got involved.
-
what are people's thoughts on voter turnout for round 2? will round 2 result in thousands more people voting? (doubt it) will fewer people end up voting, based on their original choice being eliminated and they couldn't care less now? (maybe) will fewer people end up voting, because the process has been changed and they're turned off? (maybe) should 1st round Sundog voters even be allowed to vote after demonstrating such poor decision making skills?
-
true, but after the second round, people will claim their choice lost because nodaks voters would've switched to FH if they're a FH supporter, or RR if they're a RR supporter. it will leave more people frustrated than if the rules would've been followed IMO.
-
you're missing the point. 20% more voters would need to change their vote to one of the top two if the rules and integrity of the process was followed. now, they don't.
-
How does this amount to automatically sabotaging Roughriders? Fighting Hawks dominated this vote. It received around 50% more votes than either Roughriders or Nodaks received. No one knows if Nodaks voters would be more inclined to choose RR over FH, or vice versa.
-
the Nodaks folks aren't "bitching". I'd like the process open, honest, and not change the rules midstream. We're going to try and unite under whatever name is ultimately chosen. This change will just result in more frustration. Because of the change in process, when either Roughriders or Fighting Hawks wins, the other side is going to say their choice lost because votes for Nodaks took votes from their choice, and should have never been included in the runoff vote. capisce?
-
Why didn't they just have us vote 62 times after the committee had narrowed the list to 63, eliminating the lowest vote getter after each round? The comedy of leadership continues.
-
Kelley never ceases to amaze. stick to the original plan, please! even if the one I voted for would be eliminated, keep the process honest! given the percentages, there probably won't be any name receiving 50% after this second vote. get ready for round 3. WTF.
-
Why not have two nicknames? One for hockey?
Siouxphan27 replied to SiouxVolley's topic in UND Nickname
If going with two, since hockey was the least affected by sanctions, the obvious choice would be just keep Sioux for hockey, and Nodaks for all other sports. -
surprised we didn't run a fake punt.
-
I agree wholeheartedly with you. after last week's game, I posted that I was questioning wtf we are doing defensively. priding ourselves on stopping the run while giving up 4, 3, and 6 passing TDs these last three games.
-
Bubba's on the sideline, just eating candy. I think I would be, too.
-
42-10, and time to quit paying attention.
-
and we decide to injure our punter down 25, with zero chance of winning this game. In Bubba we bust.
-
I thought you guys were in charge of the coaching staffs around here?
-
that would be funny if it were any other teams' defensive backs. good lord.
