Wow, the guy from Germany was the only one who spoke up? Come on!
choyt3 Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 Wow, the guy from Germany was the only one who spoke up? Come on! Thought the motion to reconsider was made by Michael Haugen.
johndahl Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 It is also their job to realize when the fight is no longer winnable, and will forever be an ongoing struggle the University doesn't need to add to its other challenges. Their perspectives are necessarily different than ours, in that they aren't fans or alumni first but have to put the long term health of the school first. I certainly didn't want the name changed, but have to believe they all honestly believed that UND will be stronger ten years from now, with this controversy behind them. John

I agree with you 100%. This was the only way to truly put the entire issue behind the school and move on.

John John we sold our sole for an unattractive mediocre athletic conference, the University President Kelly was so Giddy he probably soiled himself when he found out he could call the Summit league today. They could have atleast let the Tribe at Standing Rock have their vote.
rjjockers Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 Well put. I agree with you 100%. This was the only way to truly put the entire issue behind the school and move on. And ignore the tribes?
Goon Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 And ignore the tribes? MPLSBison Fan is a troll and a fraud.
Siouxman Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 This will not be put behind UND. This will fester for decades. Just look at Marquette, Dartmouth, and a number of other schools that have changed team names. The issue does not go away.

Just look at Marquette, Dartmouth, and a number of other schools that have changed team names. The issue does not go away. Ok lets look at them. Marquette -> moved on to the Big East and has enjoyed numerous successes in Men's bball. I don't see how the nickname change has held them back even slightly. Dartmouth -> how has the nickname change impacted the sports teams? The issue might never go away with the bitter fans, but so what? It doesn't hold the school or athletic department back even slightly.
johndahl Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 Even absent any change in division classification or desire to join a specific conference, the issue was not going to get better over time. It's been going on for decades now, and has become more contentious every few years. In all honesty, I like "Cavalry" in part because it has a little "screw you" connotation to the Indian tribes that forced this upon us. I was a supporter of keeping our team name, but realized the fight to do so would only get harder with time. John
MplsBison Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 And ignore the tribes? The tribes had more than enough time to get a vote done. They chose not to have a vote.
DamStrait Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 Well put. I agree with you 100%. This was the only way to truly put the entire issue behind the school and move on.You are a moronic jackass with no sense of timing or decorum. I wish nothing but ill for you.
MplsBison Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 You are a moronic jackass with no sense of timing or decorum. I wish nothing but ill for you. Tell me something, honestly. If I were standing in front of you right now, would you punch me?
