I also enjoyed the contradiction that Hawks is too popular yet at the same time state mottos are a good idea because they are so popular.

I am wondering why you would assume this. To your second sentence, a good point well put.

We celebrate genocidal historical figures around here by giving them national holidays.

Calling the Bluff - Nickname and Donations
obborg replied to NoiseInsideMyHead's topic in UND Nickname
This is where I am at as well. I will not submit to the invasive rebranding that is on the way. This is why I see Nodaks as the least of evils at this point, because it doesn't necessarily require a full-blown logo reboot. The interlocked "ND" will do fine. -
I think every one of us on every side of this debate knows deep down this is true.

Why can't Kelley change his mind? Normal behavior for any typical voter. -

It's amazing how many of us seem to instinctively sense some behind-the-scenes manipulation at play here, although each person creates his/her own narrative to explain the situation. In my version, this latest twist is simply a show put on to appear impartial. (Just like his move when he "considered" re-instating no-nickname.) If I am right, Nodaks is already dead and will be voluntarily removed before the final vote.

How not to choose a mascot? How about not changing our mascot from "Native Americans" to 'White Men on Horses."

I don't understand why we don't get computer election results once the votes are in. Even in a logistical nightmare like a presidential election there are election night celebrations. Guess the computer needs all weekend to perform a task as complicated as counting.

No one gave good reasons to show how going with one of the final 5 would be better for the University of North Dakota.

Make fun if that's what does it for you, But the North Dakota option is not dead yet.

The marketing team that has been lording over this process has been preparing for a job. Overhauling our logos and merch is the prize they have been driving at, Don't you think they will advise strongly against your idea? Their job security is no doubt the most important factor to them. That conflict of interest guaranteed from the beginning that the no-nickname option would have to die as well.

Vote on your final 5 nickname choices (just ND is out)
