UND1983 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Completely agree. Have to do 2nd run-off if no one gets 50%+ in this next one. How many Run-offs are they going to do til they reach 50%? 5...10? Go on forever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnt Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I can't believe that someone in Kelley's position doesn't understand the premise for getting down to a two-nickname runoff? The goal is to get a name that the majority of the people support at this juncture, and that may or may not be achieved, depending on how the votes split. Fighting Hawks may very well get the 50%, but if they don't you never know how those other votes would split. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxbow6 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Last time I checked if there is a vote of 2 remaining options of anything the winner will be default have over 50% Just saying......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siouxperfan7 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I just wrote them a note as well...how about everyone on here send them an email and let them know how you feel?robert.kelley@UND.edupeter.johnson@UND.eduJust sent my respectful, but concerning, email to the emails above. I encourage ALL to do the same. Either Nodaks be dropped before the runoff, or threre is a 3rd runoff if neither gets 50% of the vote.

Since they added it in on their own this time, I didn't know why anything would change next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodacker Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Missed the part where the third option would be eliminated. Since they added it in on their own this time, I didn't know why anything would change next time. So you assumed tthey would have multiple votes with the same 3 names?

UND1983 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 So you assumed tthey would have multiple votes with the same 3 names? I got confused. The third name thing threw me off and then didn't factor in they would have two different run-offs. Sorry everyone, hope you are all OK.

Fighting Hawks may very well get the 50%, but if they don't you never know how those other votes would split. Well, if I can guess what is going to happen based on the politics that Kelley has used in this, just wait for Friday (likely afternoon, but anytime of day will let him escape). He will say there is a major outcry and he will return to the original plans. He did this with the "North Dakota" option, as I never did think he was going to add it to the list. That is unless he really wants "Fighting Hawks", and this gave him the perfect opportunity to virtually guarantee that unless there is a great increase in voters due to this debacle. I would love this to bump up the voters, which could cause his plans to backfire if he leaves it at three, but do not think the odds are with that option.

siouxforcefans Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I honestly expect a bigger voter turnout for this round. Knowing from the get-go there was most likely going to be a run-off, I think a lot of people let it slide if they found 2 - 4 of the names acceptable. Now that thing get real, and a name will be chosen, I expect more votes. Think of last week as the primary, and next week as the actual election.

He will say there is a major outcry and he will return to the original plans. I'd say he's clear to do that until the next "here's your link to vote" email goes out.

jdub27 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 All these changes are confusing me:First the administration wanted Sundogs because it was the most PC and that is the only way it could have made the final cutThen UND had already negotiated the rights to North Stars and the fix was inNow they are pushing for Fighting Hawks because it was the likely choice pushed by the consultants 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything other than Roughriders is the establishment choice because it's siouxsports.com pick. If they like it it means the University hates it and there is a big conspiracy to get it out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

90siouxfan Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 If the new nickname is Hawks, I take my Sioux gear and replace the name Sioux with patches that say Hawks. Take that NCAA and Robert Kelley!Just replace the "S", with a crayon / cardboard likeness #winning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing they all have in common though is that they want Roughriders out.Seems logical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point on your first line, double conspiracy!Not sure the Roughriders thing is right though, didn't Nodaks edge it in the final poll?
