Hayduke Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I predicted less than 35. Time for, "I told you so." Wait til the kids at UND settle into their routine. Then, we'll get a true sense of where this is headed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdub27 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Who has been preaching that the folks who want no nicname are the Fighting Sioux forever only crowd ? We areGlad you cleared that up for everyone. but u any crappy name people because u want to do what is best for UND people are sure pretty smug about thinking ur any where close to being a majorityShame on people for looking out for the University instead of a logo and nickname. But at least you recognize that they want what's best for UND and that is moving on. The vast majority of us will be Sioux Forever & laugh at all attemts to be anything else...........I'm sure the University of North Dakota will be fine. It has survived multiple nickname and logo changes over the past 130+ years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMSioux Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Just thinking that Kelly must have received a few calls or at least calls from some pretty important UND boosters for him to go to the media and say he would consider putting North Dakota back on the ballot - that doesn't happen because of the threat of a gathering in a park. Then again it isn't back on the list yet so maybe he has no intention of adding it back - it was just to prevent thousands from showing up at a park gathering (sarcasm). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siouxphan27 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 When is the rally to help ensure ----(insert one of the five choices)-----gets on the ballot?is there a park in grand forks large enough to accommodate the crowd that would attend?

ScottM Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 what will be the excuse when there is low turnout for the next one? Let's see ... a rivalry football game back in their hometown, a "kickin' party" off campus, or they don't want to be seen with a bunch of people older than their parents.

Siouxperfan7 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 These "Sioux were Silenced" organizers need to get free keg beer and free pizza at their next rally.

Siouxphan27 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 The first "no nickname" rally happened after the committee cut it.Why rally for something that's not an issue yet?As many on here have stated, the final ballot will most likely not include 5 names. If there was any passion in support of one of the five finalists, one would think those supporters would be out and about campaigning and rallying to make sure their choice made the final ballot.

UND1983 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) I just heard on the radio that the new tactic is to "delay" the vote on the nickname since Kelley is retiring and shouldn't make the decision. You can't make it up. The LAST thing that UND is going to do is stick the new president with selecting the new nickname so he can get ridiculed and lambasted his entire term due to not staying North Dakota and letting Sioux live forever. What a stupid argument. Edited August 24, 2015 by Sioux83 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siouxphan27 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Ummmm......the other 6 choices currently are on te ballot. So why would there be a rally to support that? If you equally support all 5 names, I would agree with you. But it appears most that post on here have a favorite. So that is why I posed the question; where's the excitement, passion, etc., to support one of these "great" finalists? Wouldn't a rally be more constructive and productive than all the snide remarks (i'm not talking to you directly here) made at the expense of folks with a different point of view?

No. A true vote will determine the new name. Not fake rallies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siouxphan27 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 No. A true vote will determine the new name. Not fake rallies. So you're pro- snide remarks, and anti- rally for the purpose of drumming up support? I wish the Presidential candidates shared your views on campaigning and rallies. It would save us from all the political ads, and we'd just go vote on election day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
