fightingsioux4life Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Look at how many times you have posted and then look at mine.So there should be a quota for how many times one person can post on a topic? If people like yababy, Fetch, etc. can rant and rave about how bad having a different nickname is, then I should be able to rebut those arguments. Is that clear?

tnt Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Do I understand this correctly, that if no nickname reaches 50 percent of the vote, there will be another vote that only students will be participating in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Do I understand this correctly, that if no nickname reaches 50 percent of the vote, there will be another vote that only students will be participating in?Another vote, yes.Students only, no. Same constituents vote again if a second vote is needed is how I read the process. http://und.edu/news/2015/08/kelley-nickname-vote.cfm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnt Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) I thought I heard on the news that it would be only the students that voted a second time.  I thought that was strange, but someone told me that again today, unless he heard the same news story I heard.  Edited September 1, 2015 by tnt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightingsioux4life Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Good lord.Cedar Rapids RoughRiders' owner - Letter to UNDI would tell him the same thing I told Climax-Fisher boosters when they whined and complained about this with regard to Grand Forks Central 20 years ago: I do not care. Get over it.As long as we don't have the exact same logo(s), there is nothing this guy can do about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigskyvikes Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 This worries me about what CAN happen if we use RR as a nickname! This proves the potential is there for lawsuits. If you truly care for UND like I do, you will not vote for RR's. You guys that are passionate about RR as the nickname need to quit whining and learn to just let go! We must join together and do what's right for the U of ND. Vote no for RR... Karma sure is a bitch! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdub27 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Good lord.Cedar Rapids RoughRiders' owner - Letter to UNDLooks to me like the guy is offering to license his logo's out. Not sure he can prevent UND from actually adopting Roughriders as a its mascot nor does it appear that is what the intention of what his letter was.

If that was the case, they couldn't use it either because of a certain CFL team that Weston Dressler plays for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why doesnt he go after Red River and the Saskatchewan Roughriders to then?Everything that is going on sounds like a ploy to get us to take sun dogs Edited September 2, 2015 by Emerald joker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundog Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015  I already have two local teams called the Sundogs and Roughriders.  The defunct semi-pro hockey team is the Sundogs--(expect a version of a dog mascot if you pick this name.)   If you asked them they would probably sell to UND all the licensing rights lock, stock and barrel. The local community college is the Yavpai College Roughriders. (Interesting to note that the college rarely displays "Roughrider" or a roughrider mascot on any of its team names, but almost always goes by Yavapai College.  The Yavapai are the local Indian tribe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericpnelson Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I think Rob Port is taking liberties with his title here. As evidence I can quote from the article itself, "The tone of the letter isn’t very threatening." Which would seem to a contradiction or at least a stark change in intensity of the statement "Hockey Team Warns UND..." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
