The Sicatoka Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 After years of debate, UND could have a new nickname by May. UND President Robert Kelley tells Valley News Live he is hopeful the nickname process can be wrapped up by the end of this semester. A new committee to make the final choice is now being formed. Valley News Team's Neil Carlson will have much more tonight on Valley News Live. http://www.valleynewslive.com/home/headlines/UND-Gets-Closer-to-Nickname-Decision-291855311.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND1983 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Really, another committee? That's just awesome. They told us a long time ago there would be a committee to actually pick the name. Either them or Kelley himself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niouxsiouxfan Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 They told us a long time ago there would be a committee to actually pick the name. Either them or Kelley himself. I thought they said a committee was being formed to form a committee to pick the name? My money is on Kelley just picking a name that is deemed suitable. But maybe, the end is near? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My money is on Kelley just picking a name that is deemed suitable. But maybe, the end is near? That was already completed. The original committee figured out what stakeholders should have what say and how the process should go (this process is complete and committee is done). The second committee will pick a nickname to pass on to Kelley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure Kelley has to officially sign off on the new name. But he will jnot act alone and just pick a name. Not gonna happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siouxphan27 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 https://screen.yahoo.com/southwestern-minn-high-school-mascot-001500241.html A hundred years from now, no teams will have nicknames. Once the humane society or some other animal rights group pipes up, look out. All names will be deemed offensive to someone by then. Just another reason to avoid the self inflicted torture of choosing a new name nobody is going to be happy with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tribal majorities are still there, as they were with the SL vote a few years back. Burggraf isn't speaking for himself.

You and Fetch can gather around your blackhawk logos and talk about the past.

Must be nice to know better than everyone else. Add me to that "living in the past" list. I am sure that we will be the only 3 not wearing Sundogs jerseys, but we will be able to cope being in the minority. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah dude, keep using that stupid Sundog reference even though everyone knows it won't be anything near that. Cool, brodog. You're really gonna stick it to the man when you keep wearing your Sioux jersey, that will show 'em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My grandpa wore that name with pride. The change still burns me up inside! We'll show 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
