Oxbow6 Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 So what will be the fallout if the public votes goes for RR by a large margin (it seems to be the overwhelming choice of the 5 left) but that pick in turn is rejected by Kelley AFTER this whole debacle with the no nickname situation? Quote

I predict he will be out as president. Quote

As long as the vocal minority celebrates the selection of "Sundogs," he won't care. After all, like any good academia nut, he himself knows what is best for the common folk. Quote

Some of my NDSU buddies in Fargo who thought Whiskey Joe was a complete embarrassment and train wreck for NDSU are starting to think he actually wasn't all that bad after watching Kelley operate at UND over the past couple of years!

Redneksioux Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 Does anyone really think it's a coincidence that an administrator at und has had undsundogs.com registered and ready to go for years? Quote
Teeder11 Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 My gut, knowing Kelley, is he will add "North Dakota" back into the mix for consideration. He very often capitulates to public opinion. Quote

Are you being serious? If that happens then this really is a complete circus and will solidify how big of a joke this whole process has been. Quote

Who knows? I was wrong on the committee keeping it in the running the other day. It just seems like whenever anything like this happens and folks start sharpening their pitchforks -- whether it be on campus with faculty or in the public domain -- the Kelley administration has succumbed to those pressures.

The now immortalized words of Lowell Schweigert will be used to remind Roughriders supporters that (paraphrasing here) -sometimes the popular choice is not the right choice. Roughriders supporters will then be ridiculed on Siouxsports for their "wrong" opinion, and will be told to move on. Sound familiar? Quote

Hayduke Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 Maybe my choice, Screaming Weasels, will get thrown onto the ballot? Why not? Anything seems possible now! Quote
bigskyvikes Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 Hmmmmm...I remember getting verbally abused on here when I said this no nickname option isn't done yet. Not that I had any inside info, but the writing was on the wall. People are doing what Sic always says we should have done 10 years ago for the Sioux name, their just doing it now for no nickname! Wish this determination and drive happened for the Fighting Sioux name, maybe none of this would be happening now? 2 Quote

Lets see how many people we can get together this afternoon and go have a picnic on a sidewalk around campus. Doesn't seem to take much to get the president to change his mind. Quote

Doesn't seem to take much to get the president to change his mind. Really never has. It's just that no one ever pays attention unless it is about something ultra important that the public can wrap its collective head around. Quote

Pretty crazy and very unorganized but I am happy this decision was made. But thinking as unbiaseded as possible, what the hell is going on here?!? 1 Quote
