choyt3 Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 If I had to choose between Global Hawk and Fighing Hawk I would unfortunately choose Fighting Hawk. One is stupid and the other is F'n stupid. Love the screen name, Prison Mike. That the students, allegedly, are driving this support for Fighting Hawks isn't really a surprise. Especially after watching one of the between period contests Saturday night where the topic was state capitals. They were tasked to name as many capitals as they could in 30 seconds. The winner could name... five. The loser named four. College students are way closer to fifth grade, where we memorized state capitals, than I am and I can name more than five capitals of US states. 3 Quote

If it was the students, good for them! They are the most important stakeholders in this anyway...Most important stakeholders? Really??? Because they have invested what...1, 2, 4.....in the case of some like MM 9 years of their lives in the university to date. Most important? I'll continue to say they are following the Pied Piper Kelley and his PC agenda to ram FH thru. Ill informed to say the least. And by the way my youngest is a 4th grader and she currently are working on the state capitols in school......she knows all of the east of the Mississippi River. Has to learn the rest in a couple weeks. She'll by on standby this weekend if the REA needs a "student" to rattle off more than 5 capitals in 30 seconds. 6 Quote

If it was the students, good for them! They are the most important stakeholders in this anyway...no they arent the most important. Why? Because in 3-4 years they become Alumni, just like us. Why should one time period of students speak for every student who ever went there or will go there? Constantly changing definition of who the "students" are. 4 Quote

Siouxphan27 Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 I don't think a couple of students panicking while asked questions in front of thousands is a fair representation of the entire student body's intelligence. I'm just glad they know their North Dakota history, given their voting tendencies.current students are I'm guessing about 20% of the eligible voting pool. blame your fellow alumni if you feel the need to complain about the results. 1 Quote

Popular Post fargosioux Posted November 10, 2015 Popular Post Posted November 10, 2015 It kind of blows my mind how giddy some people on this board seem to be with the fact that the new nickname is almost certainly going to be Fighting Hawks. I just don't get it. 13 Quote

I just don't get it.I guess I don't see anyone real "giddy", I know my choices lost 3 times! But I'm ready to support the choice, and that sure looks like its going to be FH, seen as how it won the last two votes 1 Quote
obborg Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 If it was the students, good for them! They are the most important stakeholders in this anyway...Absolutely right. If we are talking about the future, there is no denying this. Students of today are the stakeholders of tomorrow, and they have more years ahead of them to donate than you or I do. It is very simple math. 1 Quote

So 22-40 years old's don't have many years ahead of them to donate? The one's who were also students very recently. 1 Quote
obborg Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 So 22-40 years old's don't have many years ahead of them to donate? Well however many years they have it is less than that of the student age group. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 In fairness to Qualtrics, which category would you put me into: donor, season ticket holder, or alumnus? I'm all three. Quote
Oxbow6 Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 In fairness to Qualtrics, which category would you put me into: donor, season ticket holder, or alumnus? I'm all three. I'm the Trifecta as well........maybe if they give all of us in this group 3 votes RR will win! Quote
