NCAA To Sanction UND if School Does Not Adopt New Nickname
Siouxphan27 replied to Benny Baker's topic in UND Nickname
students just voted 3 to 1 to keep North Dakota on the ballot. Yet 3 of 4 "representatives" on the committee voted to take it off. It's pretty obvious the committee members represented only themselves and voted accordingly, yielding the cluster of 5 choices that remain. -

Siouxphan27 replied to Benny Baker's topic in UND Nickname
yes-Either natives of the state, or if it's a name representing a group, at least more than two of them having stepped foot in the state. The "orchestra"would not be the most fierce name, but it would fit nicely in this current group of five we have. If honoring Welk i would go with the UND Super Conductors! and then have Myron Floren lead the we will rock you cheers on his accordion. :-) -

one member, from New York,had a hobby ranch in North Dakota. That's the connection... Everyone else except for the son of the head veterinarian at NDSU was from the southwest... Hmmm.... but, there's an award. ;-) -

I believe the ND tourism dept. prefers to use slogans that refer to cowboys from the desert southwest who volunteered for the Spanish American War. -

Siouxphan27 replied to Benny Baker's topic in UND Nickname
I'd suggest one of the several names on the list having something to do with the state's history, the settlers, the industries, or having something to do with one of the programs offered by UND. But all those choices were rejected in rube like fashion with no thought process by the committee other than- I personally don't like this particular name, so let's Shiite can it. -

"New Americans" what do they bring to the table in the region
Siouxphan27 replied to Redneksioux's topic in Community
just one hooter? That's what I call operating on a shoestring budget. Or a g string budget. -
So roughly 3 to 1, students that voted chose to keep North Dakota on the ballot. but 3 out of 4 student representatives on the committee voted to take it off the ballot. "Government of the people, by the people.....meh, screw the people.

Good point. Appears all we have is rumors and speculation. Sure would be nice to get an official statement from Roberto sometime before Christmas. -
10 Year Anniversary of Nickname Fight
Siouxphan27 replied to fightingsioux4life's topic in UND Nickname
I hear ya. it's understandable if that is the ncaa's stance, at this time. as we continue down the PC road of insanity, the ncaa may feel pressure in the future from other constantly offended groups. Midgets is now controversial. Even if it's not the ncaa that has a problem with a certain "human" name, if other groups of wake up offended-type folks do, time and resources will be wasted.- 19 replies

10 Year Anniversary of Nickname Fight
Siouxphan27 replied to fightingsioux4life's topic in UND Nickname
Interesting take. So in this instance the ncaa's policies are permanently set in stone? After all the hullabaloo about the ncaa and what punishment they may drum up for going without a nickname, it just seems like a bad idea to go with any name with a human element. One person complains that Nodakers is derogatory, or one person claims Roughriders were racist gun toting white cowboys from the desert southwest, and all of a sudden we have a new headache on our hands. go sUNDawgs!! a daschUND would be a solid mascot.- 19 replies

10 Year Anniversary of Nickname Fight
Siouxphan27 replied to fightingsioux4life's topic in UND Nickname
My question is why in the world does anyone want to risk going down this road again with a name like Roughriders? It's puzzling to see some people stressing moving on from Fighting Sioux, while at the same time championing the cause for another "human-based" name, for lack of a better term. Nodaks should be off the table as well given the hypersensitive path this nickname quest is on. Hawks, Sun, or Stars. Yay.- 19 replies

NCAA To Sanction UND if School Does Not Adopt New Nickname
Siouxphan27 replied to Benny Baker's topic in UND Nickname
I would love to see UND take the NCAA to court for trying to force unfair sanctions on a university based on words uttered by a third party. The reality is it would never come to that. This silly, weak response from the NCAA is proof they know they have no leg to stand on. It's a green light for no nickname. -
Looks like we finally have the answer to the riddle of how many ndsu graduates it takes to run a fantasy football team.

Siouxphan27 replied to ClassB's topic in UND Nickname
Is it white sand? If so, I'm fine with it. Didn't mean to offend by saying tinfoil hat. I happen to think they're quite stylish if worn for the right cause. All we have is rampant speculation regarding what the NCAA may or may not do. Kelley needs to finally ask the NCAA, or if he's asked, share with the public what he has already found out from the NCAA so we can stop the insanity. With the 5 lackluster choices coupled with the following no nickname has right now, he needs to lead for once on this issue, immediately. I'm a no nicknamer until we hear otherwise from the NCAA. And if they say no, I'll moooove on to support one of the lame names. -

Siouxphan27 replied to ClassB's topic in UND Nickname
So in other words, scenario 3 = scenario 1. They do not have a policy against it. I know that's not enough for the tinfoil hat crowd, but the reality is, it would be acceptable. -

Siouxphan27 replied to ClassB's topic in UND Nickname
I was being facetious as you realize. Kelley announced that very morning that no nickname would still be given consideration, so that would also take the air out of any rally don't you think? To continue with facetious questions/answers..... How have the rallies for the other 5 options been? Poorly attended? Well attended? Wait what?! there haven't been any rallies? Wow given what we've learned here today, there must not be any support for those names. -

I'll take a stab. No nickname forever folks are employed, while fighting Sioux forevers are not?
