southpaw Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 I'm curious how many anti nicknamers will vote Sundogs just because they are throwing a fit. 2 1 Quote
IrishSiouxFan Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Rough Riders is the only half-way decent name on the list. 2 Quote
ericpnelson Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 I don't hate the process they have chosen for voting Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 They needed to get the voting process part nailed down, I'd say they passed that test**Now watch as this turns into a flaming disaster..... Quote
homer Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 I'm curious how many anti nicknamers will vote Sundogs just because they are throwing a fit. I don't think any. I think they either won't vote or pick a name they could handle. 1 Quote
Popular Post Oxbow6 Posted August 28, 2015 Popular Post Posted August 28, 2015 I'm curious how many anti nicknamers will vote Sundogs just because they are throwing a fit. If any alumni and/or supporter were to do this I would hope they would the courage to come forward.............so we could have a public flogging prior to a hockey game in the dead of winter. 6 Quote
Popular Post InHeavenThereIsNoBeer Posted August 28, 2015 Popular Post Posted August 28, 2015 I'm curious how many anti nicknamers will vote Sundogs just because they are throwing a fit. Yeah not sure why anyone would do that? I for one was hoping for 'North Dakota' but why the hell would I want to hurt the school I've supported my whole life because I didn't get my 1st choice?I think you're not giving enough credit to people that were passionate about staying UND... at least I sure hope so. 6 Quote
UNDBIZ Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 I'm curious how many anti nicknamers will vote Sundogs just because they are throwing a fit. Hopefully Fetch is the only one. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted August 28, 2015 Author Posted August 28, 2015 ... why the hell would I want to hurt the school I've supported my whole life because I didn't get my 1st choice?Precisely. Quote
Cratter Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Glad the only options are ACTUAL nicknames. The move oners win. I'll be voting for the best nickname ever.. . The RoughRiders! 2 Quote
Oxbow6 Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 So.................it is highly unlikely that one of the 5 gets 50% after the first vote and is declared the nickname. What will be the 2 to eventually choose from in round 2? My guess is RR and Hawks. 1 Quote
Taz Boy Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 I'm wondering if the University will see an uptick in new donors the next couple of days. How much $ to insure eligibility? Quote
The Sicatoka Posted August 28, 2015 Author Posted August 28, 2015 I'm wondering if the University will see an uptick in new donors the next couple of days. How much $ to insure eligibility?For you, minimum six digits (and that's left of the decimal point). Quote
keikla Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 I'm wondering if the University will see an uptick in new donors the next couple of days. How much $ to insure eligibility?Ha that was my first thought. I have three days to donate. Though I have had several offers from friends stating that I could just donate directly to them to sway a vote haha Quote
darell1976 Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 No sanctions anymore by the NCAA even if Nodaks is the new name as Nodak is the state abbreviation think U of Illinois. So get out your Fighting Sioux gear and chant go Sioux all you want. Quote

UNDColorado Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 I think this is good news. My biggest fear was letting any Nodak resident vote as I believe there would be a group that would vote shitdogs, I mean sundogs, out of spite. 1 Quote
The Sicatoka Posted August 28, 2015 Author Posted August 28, 2015 Oh wait, SIX digits. Six. 'k. Hmmm... Yes, key word: DIGITS. Quote
Fetch Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Operation Roughrider oh wait the FBI already did that one Quote
Taz Boy Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Engelstad Foundation just bought Qualtrics. Quote
bigskyvikes Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 In that voting process,How can someone be a season ticket holder but NOT be a champions club member? Or is this an option with other sports other than hockey? Quote
Popular Post mksioux Posted August 28, 2015 Popular Post Posted August 28, 2015 I am satisfied with the voting process. Lots of mistakes were made in the process, but at least they got the voting process right. The big thing was eliminating the right to vote to any North Dakota citizen. That would have been a disaster. I think the list of voters eligible is exactly correct. I also like the second-round voting with the top-two vote-getters. That will insure that a nickname can't be chosen with a small plurality of the vote. As for the no-nickname not being an option, that was entirely foreseeable. I never thought Kelley would allow that. I just wish he had scrapped it from the very beginning of the process. In any event, I'm ready to move on. I just pray that Sundogs does not somehow win the voting process. I'm voting for Roughriders. 13 Quote
