darell1976 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 What is incompetent about it? The process he laid out above looks pretty standard to me. At least he didn't allow citizens of North Dakota to vote.He is just mad that no nickname is not an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is just the comprehension and understanding of what you read where you seem to struggle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in favor of a new nickname from the start and will vote for 1 of these remaining even though the selection ain't great. Which name will you be vot....oh nevermind. Like I said you really struggle in understanding what you read. Might want to get that checked out, they may have pills for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siouxperfan7 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Well, since North Dakota did not get back on the list of names under consideration for a public vote, it will not be selected as UND's nickname (or lack there of). SO thankfully this thread can officially be shut down!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Where was Kelley with this statement two weeks, months, years, ago? President Kelley added, “As I have noted many times, North Dakota is not a nickname—it is a reflection of our pride in who we are. We have been North Dakota—UND—for more than 130 years, and we always will be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxbow6 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Where was Kelley with this statement two weeks, months, years, ago? He is correct but the roller coaster ride for him to get to this point in making this statement once again shows a total lack of leadership and vision with this entire process.

darell1976 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Where was Kelley with this statement two weeks, months, years, ago? Maybe he wanted to see how the 2 protest turnouts looked, and it looked pathetic for the non-nickname crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sioux>Bison Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I'm pretty sure the NCAA is going to further sanction UND if fans do not adopt the new logo that is chosen now that ND is not an option. How could they allow such hostile and abusive jerseys and chants to be donned in the Ralph and accross the country.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald joker Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 YOu know how you get rid of a terrible name and make sure it doesn't have a chance to win, vote for a different name. If you hate Sundogs, even if you aren't 100% on board with one of the other names, vote for something else. Or you say it's hostile and abusive and it offends you!

That was my biggest concern, they would all go out en mass and vote Sundogs just to make us look bad. With our asinine decision making on the FCOA issue, we are doing a nice job of doing that ourselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darell1976 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 who cares!Every fan of UND should care. You have those who get a vote that may not care or worse be a fan of a rival team 70 miles south of Grand Forks, like my brother in-law. He is a Bison fan but went to UND's med school and is an alum so he may not care and he could vote for the Sundogs ( I txted him and told him to vote Roughriders or Fighting Hawks). So there are others who actually went to UND caring only for academics and not a fan of athletics (or UND athletics) or is a fan of other athletic teams, so you should care.

Do you really think those that don't care are going to care enough to vote at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
