Teeder11 Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 They're just buying time until the Davidson's re-release the next blockbuster game changing news from 2008. FYP. 2 Quote
bigskyvikes Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 The truth hurts. Your truth only, doesn't hurt, but it sure is annoying... Quote
bigskyvikes Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 One of the two quotes is from someone who was selected to represent a group of stakeholders. My guess is that person's quote (and thought process) carries some weight in the decision making process....just saying. It's a good thing he speaks for ONE of the "stakeholders" only? But you keep posting that one quote and act like its a game changer all ya want... Quote

But you keep posting that one quote and act like its a game changer all ya want... More than one. Remember that "North Dakota" finished 7 out of 7 when they scored each name and narrowed the list down. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 FYP. Exactly. The Davidson's are chronologically challenged in this. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 The only way the old name comes back is if Spirit Lake and Standing Rock tribal councils both issue binding statements of support. And to be honest, I'd want the same from Sisseton-Wahpeton because they (not SL and SR) have the casino on I-29 at the SD border so they too have tribal land in ND. But then you worry about the next tribal council "unbinding". Sorry, even if they gave such approval, I'm not sure I'd use it. Using it would make UND vulnerable to the winds and whims of tribal politics, aka the tribe's 6itch. Go from being the NCAA's to the tribe's, ... I'll pass. Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Suddenly my homecoming prediction might be too soon.... Quote

Not sure on who you are addressing, but I never said the name is coming back. I have said many times I wish it could, but I know its gone. This is why I can't stand when people say that "the people that want just ND think the name is coming back or can't let go", that is not me! I'm sure someone will come back and quote me saying I want the ND name to honor the old name and that equals the two above statements, but I say BS. The doom and gloom people that are crying about the possibility of the RR name, saying racist, whatever, are no different than the people crying about staying ND, IMO! Quote

"Now is the time to stop whining, and being scared of whet ifs! Since we can't have the greatest nickname ever let's honor it by using North Dakota only! Using scare tactics to fulfill some people's choice is not only a crock but seems to be the norm these days!" -Bigskyvikes. Neither one of those quotes should change the mind of anyone...just sayin.
