darell1976 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 If I vote, I'll vote no. But the chances of me cutting time out of my day for something like that really doesn't seem too likely. Is that good enough for you? Remember, O'Keefe, Kelley, Hakstol, all of them are lying!!!!! LONG LIVE THE FIGHTING SIOUX! Just curious...why? As a NDSU fan why would you vote no? Is it because you hate UND? Do you want to stick it to the NCAA (Al Carlson's reason)? What is your reason to vote no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdub27 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 And UND was mean to NDSU back in 1958 and 1960 or something like that. But NDSU has been better since 1963. Because that is when Bison football started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

82SiouxGuy Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 You mean when UND upset 'su at its own cow-tipping invitational? No, it sounds like it was more of a name-calling thing. They wanted people to stop calling them the AC and UND kept doing it. But the cow-tipping thing might have been the last straw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is your reason to vote no. I dislike UND. And friends and family who are UND fans want them to keep the name. Plus, it is really fun watching people dig their own graves. So I'd like for all the people who love the Fighting Sioux nickname above all else to see what happens when they are forced to keep the name. I do not want to stick it to the NCAA. I have no problem with the NCAA's policy. A bit overzealous and they have bigger fish to fry, but their club, their rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it or not, things such as UND's attitude towards NDSU back in 2003 will affect how a small group of people vote. By small, I mean very small. If you don't help out someone else, don't expect them to help you. What do I have to gain by voting yes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two, stop the wasting of tax dollars. Three and more importantly, voting no just empowers the legistlatures control over the SBoHE and that is not good for anyone, especially UND and NDSU.

So if your opinion is most popular among NDSU fans...stop asking how much money this is costing taxpayers, don't complain if the legislature creates a bill to force the two schools to play every year (and have that as a state law), and don't complain if this comes up every year, because I am sure every year UND is on sanctions there will be a measure to repeal the state law and yes costing more of the taxpayers dollars. Have fun voting no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have fun voting no. I haven't complained about the cost to the taxpayers. I know plenty of NDSU folks have, many of them I believe are the "Vote Yes" people. I want the schools to play some sooner or later, I'd rather the state not get involved, and so far they have done a nice job staying out of it. I of all people, wouldn't complain too much if it came up often. I get so much entertainment out of this show that has been going on for years that I am willing to let the exceptionally wealthy state of North Dakota's taxpayers pay for it. I'm totally with you guys that voting yes is the right thing to do, it is the only thing that makes sense for the school, for higher ed., etc. But this is a trainwreck I can't quit watching and if it can go a little longer, I'll be happy to watch. I feel very bad for those who have wanted it gone from the start of the NCAA policy. I feel pretty bad for those who were willing to accept a name change after November 2010, I don't feel bad for those who waited until the recent Spirit Lake decision to jump on the Namechange bandwagon, and I just think people like DaveK and Fetch might need to go to Jamestown for psychiatic testing at the State Hospital.
