PhillySioux Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 http://www.minotdail...g.html?nav=5010 If it goes to the ballot in June and it loses, will you, like Reed, be satisfied that it is done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottM Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 If it goes to the ballot in June and it loses, will you, like Reed, be satisfied that it is done? Reed can't even grasp the fact there was a deal made in 2007, and his clients never even attempted to get a seat at the table before the settlement was signed.

PhillySioux Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 "If it goes to the ballot in June and it loses, will you, like Reed, be satisfied that it is done?" Where did he say that ? Although confident today that public sentiment favors the referendum, Soderstrom said he would accept the decision if voters reject the measure in June.

I kind of liked this guys comment that was on the article. There is not enough facepalm in the world available to accurately respond to how ridiculous this whole process is.

Its not like they would stop the constitutional measure petition process if they lose in June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

82SiouxGuy Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 And he doesn't recognize that UND has already been damaged. They have lost scheduled sporting events and there is strong evidence that they have lost the opportunity to recruit talented athletes. He is very naive if he believes that these things won't continue to happen and probably will escalate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is very naive if he believes that these things won't continue to happen and probably will escalate. I'm mystified by this stance too. It's as if what we're seeing so far isn't enough for them. Would they prefer something as dramatic as the BSC bouncing UND out, or the women's team getting home ice for the NC$$ and then having to play in Fargo? I daresay, if the men's team had to play a home game in Fargo, you'd hear a blood-curdling scream from some of these "fans". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This can't be good institutionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82SiouxGuy Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I'm sure the damage isn't just be done on the athletic front. This can't be good institutionally. I agree completely. But the cancelled games and the information provided by Lennon is obvious to everyone, so even the naysayers should have to acknowledge that there might be some truth to those things.

If UND has the moniker and is not allowed to host NCAA post-season events, doesn't that mean "can't be the home team"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was extending on comments made by Fasion(?) regarding the women's hockey team and his view of a "solution". But if they have to hit the road to wherever we'll see what the "save the moniker" crowd really thinks about their "principles". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottM Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 You say that like playing in Fargo would be a bad thing. I would love to see the men's team play a game in Fargo. I live in Fargo, as do a lot of other Sioux fans. It would be like back in the day when the Green Bay Packers used to play some of their home games at Milwaukee. When a team has such great support throughout the entire state, why not play home games in two different cities? You have an extra 11000+ seat barn laying around? Then again, maybe they can fit two-to-a seat at Scheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxu31 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Maybe they can just put a sheet of ice down in Dave's back yard. That's only if they keep the name though. Otherwise he would not be interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a team has such great support throughout the entire state, why not play home games in two different cities? Loss of revenue is a good starting point. Less seats to sell plus rental for the facility. Maybe some day the exhibition game would be held elsewhere, but there isn't a venue with even close to enough seating to make it worthwhile.
