Shawn-O Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I am not sure what happened to him. All I know is that he was a total disaster for UND athletics.Assoc. AD at SMU. http://www.smumustangs.com/genrel/buning_tom00.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericpnelson Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 is that the imaginary North Dakota regiment of the roughrider cavalry doing calisthenics?Well, they wouldn't want to join the 70% of Americans that fail to stretch before exercise, leaving themselves vulnerable to dire injury.

siouxfan512 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Assoc. AD at SMU. http://www.smumustangs.com/genrel/buning_tom00.html But does anyone know what happened when he left UND? I just remember he went on this sudden leave, then it was extended, then he resigned? Was he going to get axed anyway. Seemed like a really strange situation.Didn't realize he was a West Point grad with an engineering background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxforcefans Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Voted for Roughriders,but could support either of the two that seem destined for a run off. Of course, the SS.com sample is not representative ...Right - 158 votes as of this post out of a possible 82,000 (are they still sticking to that number?) would mean we're only approaching a 0.2% size. Two tenths of a percent is enough to call a presidential election for some news stations, but not for something as important as this! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxfan512 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I would be really interested to know how many official votes were made yesterday, compared to how many will trickle in over the rest of the week. I would think most people would have already voted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericpnelson Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Right - 158 votes as of this post out of a possible 82,000 (are they still sticking to that number?) would mean we're only approaching a 0.2% size. Two tenths of a percent is enough to call a presidential election for some news stations, but not for something as important as this! I'm sure it's just low turnout and everyone who has voted immediately stopped over here to report their choice. Pretty much gospel. With any luck over the rest of the week, this could be a one ballot deal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a bigger sample size than the 4 out of 5 dentists argument though................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND92,96 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 But does anyone know what happened when he left UND? I just remember he went on this sudden leave, then it was extended, then he resigned? Was he going to get axed anyway. Seemed like a really strange situation.Didn't realize he was a West Point grad with an engineering background.As I recall, a survey was given to all UND coaches regarding Buning's job performance, and the results were very negative. The leave of absence allowed for time to negotiate the terms of the buyout of Buning's contract, and probably to raise the funds necessary to pay it.

OgioloD Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I'm predicting roughriders over nodaks in official vote with neither having enough to win. Upon the runoff vote nodaks will win the non roughriders voters to end up with the majority.Id be happy with either, but the more I think about it, the more I prefer roughriders. Simply to avoid the "nodicks" chants, but I'm sure there is a negative chant I haven't thought of for roughriders as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siouxperfan7 Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 I think that the small sample size on this poll will serve true for the real vote and Roughriders and Nodaks will be the top 2. Neither will get the 50%. In the runoff I do think that Roughriders will prevail. Why? I think the majority of the Nadak voters are people that are settling for it because it is the closest to just being North Dakota. I think the Fighting Hawks, North Stars, and the one Sundog voter will turn and vote Roughriders because they actually want a nickname and not a shortened version of the state name. Of course this is just my opinion. Not based on any fact!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxfan512 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I miss watching Buning do pushups at FB games.....................Because you like watching the push ups, or because our football team used to score so many points? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Risky Posted October 20, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2015 I finally decided how my vote was going to go to when John Odegard received the Roughrider award by the state of North Dakota recently. The media said it was the most prestigious award in the state. The light bulb went off for me. It should be Roughrider. What a good way to represent the state. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaSioux Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I agree that this has gone on far too long. Looks like the NCAA is more interested in our former name than the integrity of Louisville's basketball program... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shep Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I voted Hawks but I will vote Roughriders if it is in the finals.I still can't believe Nodicks is getting any traction. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIOUXFAN97 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 still don't think its looking good for the nodiks crowd based on the above small sample...first this is a very pro-hockey message board and second because of the GFC/RRHS connections on this board...thinking that RR is doing okay.

From this thread? 15 people im just saying that I was thinking that this poll would be a very pro-hockey so I was thinking that nodiks would be over 50% but those pro-hockey people that still think that hawk logo will be used is siphoning off more votes than I tought from nodiks...heck even the sundogs have passed the north stars...never would have guessed that...

I think it is completely up in the air. Just remember RR has other connotations and means for abuse as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
