jdub27 Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Good representation huh? I'm guessing I know what their majors are. Also, young kids can be swayed so easily.Curious what you mean by "knowing what their majors are"? Quote

Funny how so many think this is a huge response, well..….except some on SS.com. Nice work students, take a bow! The true stake holders have spoken! Quote
bigskyvikes Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Just so everyone knows my stance on this, if ND was on the ballot and RR won the vote, I would be happy for the UND and my favorite hockey team! Realistically though, if ND is on the ballot it will win in a landslide, IMO....Go Sioux! Quote

Realistically though, if ND is on the ballot it will win in a landslide, IMO....Go Sioux!There's the conundrum: If there is a even just modicum of truth in what Goon was told, sure, "no nickname" may win, but your closing quip may have us losing in the end with the NCAA. (Your closing shows what the "no nickname" point of view is really thinking.)I personally don't want to see even the possibility of another bout with the NCAA. I'm pushing 30 years watching this quagmire (starting with a donation to refurbish parts of the old REA in the late 1980s) and it needs to reach a conclusion. 1 Quote
Fetch Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) Don't u think "The Sioux were Silenced " folks deserve a chance ?I don't think the ncaa would want to put us on sanctions & risk this going to courtIf some sizable donors who want to see a fair & complete court battle were to step up & make it happen - I think good lawyers could make a case that the ncaa was not fair to the Sioux or UND the last time this almost went to court.To many PC & paranoid people who were worried about D1 affiliation for UND in other sports at the time just wanted it over. & too much trust in the State to try & win a case against the ncaa was a mistake & the State Board of higher ed was a mess - but seriously who would of expected less (or more) ?As long as this is the case real Sioux Forever Fans will never be able to move onIf this happened & we lost & Kelly would be long gone - then try again to get a knew nicknameRight now this attempt was not done well & too many still feel cheated No nickname will win by a huge margin if it does & the ncaa leaves us alone we have already had 3 yrs to get used to it & could live with thisBut if we're forced to have a new nickname that sucks like I keep saying it could get real ugly & stay a real sore spot for a long time Edited August 14, 2015 by Fetch 1 Quote

THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^The overwhelming majority of North Dakota/no nickname supporters are people that want to unoffiially still be the Fighting Sioux. You can all deny it, but it's true. And the NCAA knows this as well. They aren't stupid. If you think that we can slip one by them by doing this you are kidding yourself. There are 2 options; Pick a new nickname and be finally done with this issue or kick the can down the road and deal with this circus in the future. 1 Quote

Sioux>Bison Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 I would love to see the ncaa take on UND and tell them they must adopt a mascot. Until this happens I see no reason to disallow ND as a nickname. Let's say they do sanction us again we will at least know what the number 2 vote getter was and we can adopt that and bow down to the almighty NCAA 1 Quote
The Sicatoka Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 The "silenced" folks lost in Federal court. There's not a lot to say after that. Quote

bigskyvikes Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 The "silenced" folks lost in Federal court. There's not a lot to say after that.Just how did they lose? They didn't even get a turn! You should read their book to actually know the truth. Knowing why they chose that title (aren't they Sioux enough) explains a lot. The title is a direct quote from the judge, because the Sioux people didn't even get a say in all of it. Some other people from California spoke for them, and didn't speak what they (the local Sioux people) felt about it. Powerful people made sure this happened. I can borrow you my copy if you want?

UND1983 Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 At least the "stay UND/North Dakota" crowd isn't hiding their true intentions anymore. "The Sioux Were Silenced, a group that supports the Fighting Sioux nickname, announced in a news release the rally will take place 4:30-6:30 p.m. at University Park."http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/local/3818639-protest-calling-play-undnorth-dakota-kelleys-immediate-resignation-set Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 Why do I get the feeling this will end very ugly. Quote
UND1983 Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 Why do I get the feeling this will end very ugly. Until they announce the Sioux name is coming back, every ending is going to be ugly. Hillbilly mentality. Quote
