zonadub Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Members listed here: http://www.grandforksherald.com/content/und-names-task-force-adopt-new-nickname-logo Scariest part of this list ... It appears Kelly will make the final decision. The nickname committee has been selected. 17 people, four of them alumni. I'm not sure what the demographics of the other 13 people are but I'm hoping the majority are students. Their job is to submit nickname candidates to the president who will have the final decision. Should be an official announcement next week. The team anticipates submitting its recommendations to UND President Robert Kelley by the end of 2014. While the Task Force is not charged with making a final nickname and logo selection, President Kelley welcomes all final outcomes and recommendations from the Task Force’s work." Quote
82SiouxGuy Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Scariest part of this list ... It appears Kelly will make the final decision. As President of the University, he was always going to have the final decision (unless the State Board took it away from him). Quote
Oxbow6 Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Not sure what to make of the GOBC if "Big Cocks" is a consideration in that circle.......and I don't think Kelly will ever...ever...shout "Go Cocks"! Quote
Oxbow6 Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 As President of the University, he was always going to have the final decision (unless the State Board took it away from him). Not to be an echo...that's the "scariest part"! 1 Quote
Cratter Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 There needs to be three finalist names and put to a popular vote by students and staff! Make it happen. Facebook page? Twitter? Quote
Finn flick Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 Ha I'm not trying to be but that is just all I know. I talked to one of the alums who got selected yesterday so that's where this is coming from. It should be noted that I do not make disparaging remarks about republicans Alumni, how many years back? 2, 5, 10? Quote
The Sicatoka Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 Alumni, how many years back? 2, 5, 10? Diversity in age? No, no. Diversity is however Kelley set up the quota. Quote
MafiaMan Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 So how many committee folks are of the anti-Sioux crowd? I thought the objective was helping pick a name everyone can be proud of? Is it possible that the nickname was really so unimportant that anti-Sioux nickname folks really couldn't care less what the new name is? Quote
Fetch Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 What are those drive around fish houses called - u know the one with track drive ? Quote
Finn flick Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 Diversity in age? No, no. Diversity is however Kelley set up the quota. O I C says the blind man Quote
siouxjoy Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 Honest question: would there be a committee that you wouldn't be upset and b!t%h about? Edited to add: I am just trying to say that nothing is perfect; sometimes you just have to accept the situation and have faith. I personally am pleasantly surprised by the number of current and former athletes on the committee who are absolutely familiar with the history and tradition of the Fighting Sioux name. Quote

Goon Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 That's bad ass, but the anti gun crowd wouldn't approve of it. Quote
Cratter Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 Kelly O’Keefe has a pretty good resume. Quote
Cratter Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 Would have been cool to get Chuck Klosterman on the committee. 1 Quote
