bisonh8er Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Kelly is a tool. He gets way to butt hurt over nothing if you ask me. UND has always been known as a party school, does he really think not showing a grandma with a beer is gonna change that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sioux-cia Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 She's 85 y/o, well over the legal drinking age in ND. A UND alum, widow of a UND med school graduate, a supporter of UND and UND student athletes is being held up to current UND students and the country at large as a 'bad example!!! WTF Kelley!! WTF!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND has always been known as a party school, does he really think not showing a grandma with a beer is gonna change that? Next up is banning the band from playing "In heaven there is no beer"...Kelly IMO on all fronts has been a disaster to/for the university I graduated from. Guy's a total JA.

IrishSiouxFan Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I usually defend Kelley's unpopular decisions as they typically are in the best interest of the university, but this time I am utterly speechless at such a ridiculous move. Beth Delano has been a fixture at Fighting Sioux hockey games since 1947 and it's great to see her supporting her favorite team 64 years later. It's not so much that she can be found at the REA enjoying a beer and watching a hockey game that makes people cheer for her, but rather no matter the elements outside she still manages to make to the Ralph with the rest of us watching the sport she loves. If Kelley would spend as much time focusing on raising the prestige of the university as he does trying to concoct ways of taking away our traditions we would be at the level of a Big 10 school or possibly even the Ivy League.

GeauxSioux Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Sometimes we need to just let life happen and stop trying to control things. Delano is life. She gets the crowd going. Why mess with it? I don't think focusing on an 85 year old woman at a hockey game is going to negatively impact the Princeton Review rankings.

Irish Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 This gives us a little insight into the brain trust that runs UND. They occupy a place that never intersects with the real world. They won't be happy until they suck the life out of everything fun. I seriously question Kelly's judgement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewey Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Yes. Kendall Baker looks pretty decent in light of Robert Kelley and Kendall Baker was about 100 floors below Tom Clifford. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let'sGoHawks! Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 What a horrible PR move by Kelley. I hope that no national media gets a hold of this one, how embarrassing would that be? I'm so sick of this guy. He is already seen in a very negative light by many in the community, things like this only make it worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xI Hammer Ix Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 How can Kelly control what the REA puts on the screens? The REA isn't owned by the University. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the green team Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 It's a UND event-thus they get a say. Really, I don't think it's that big of deal either way. I can't imagine it matters that much. In the article she doesn't seem that upset about it. It's not like she's going to stop coming to games or heaven forbid enjoy a beer at the games.

iramurphy Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Hard to believe he would waste his time on this. He may want to spend more time trying to get Englestad filled up again. UND played Boston College and the attendence was embarassing. Last week UND hosts Maine and it was no where near filled. The band is great and the crowds have been great but UND can't afford to lose the following for UND hockey. I thought he understood the relationship between athletics and the University. Not sure who came up wih this dumb idea but it is a mistake. The Beer Lady gets a charge out of the fans and I believe she is of age. Great fan to showcase. There is nothing wrong with beer and I would rather showcase her smiling and having a beer from one of the local distributors who happens to be a great UND booster than some fat ass stuffing nachos down their throat in between pieces of pizza washed down with a diet coke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly! You know, these bozos running UND are really pissing me off. Issues like this make me wonder what other arbitrary and idiotic decisions they make that don't even get noticed by the public, much less the weak kneed media in the GF region. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewey Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 This is just the sort of meaningless minutia that preoccupies administrators who have a complete disconnect both with sporting activities and with those who attend them. He needs to get out of the office more and interact with people outside of the occasional petty wine socials with other like-minded sorts. I'd say his duplicity concerning other issues reflects much more negatively upon the university than the Beer Grandma. Good Lord, even an 85 year-old, life-long hockey game attendee who enjoys having a beer and who gets recognized at games can pique the effete social consciousness of this guy? That speaks volumes. Aren't there bigger and better things to complain about? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillySioux Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 So, who put this out there to the Herald? Was it Beer Grandma herself? REA? I highly doubt UND announced it. Pioneer Press has picked up the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Kelley decided to not glorify beer drinking, what's the big deal? Does this really affect your life? Had REA just stopped putting her on the big screen, it's likely few would have noticed. It became a big deal when UND and REA released their decision to the media. It became a big deal for me when this fan became an example of 'how we don't want to viewed' by the UND administration. It doesn't affect my life just like a lot of things that I oppose don't affect my life. That doesn't mean I'm going to stand by quietly and turn my back with a 'Hey, not my problem, bro' attitude. Not my style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
