The Sicatoka Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 The fact that one of these two will actually have a 50%+ ... What if ... Quote
MafiaMan Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 50.5% - 49.5%. Kelley will declare it "too close to call" and there will be yet another runoff!!Comrade Kelley and the Politburo met this morning. He is pleased to announce that "sUNDogs" is the new nickname choice - with 79,998 write-in votes. Roughriders and Fighting Hawks finished in a tie for 2nd - each with 1 vote.Press conference at noon.

R_Schneider_4 Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 50/50 and Dictator Kelley does what he wants and chooses a different name. Ok I know that wont happen but with the way this gong show has played out it wouldn't surprise me one bit. 2 Quote
johndahl Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 The fact that one of these two will actually have a 50%+ is a joke. The only reason to have more than one round of voting is to deceive. To create the illusion of support where very little actually exists.That's exactly why they had to add another round of voting (after screwing things up by changing the rules based on the results of the first vote that saw Nodaks eliminated). They created a situation in which the winner wasn't likely to have support from at least half of the voters, and knew that such a result would breed even more discontent. How it took them so long to figure that out is another matter entirely. The whole process has been amateur hour at best. 2 Quote

Popular Post UND1981 Posted November 17, 2015 Popular Post Posted November 17, 2015 Calling for an upset 50.5% to 49.5% RR. Getting my wife, brother and S-I-L to switch from FH to RR was huge! 6 Quote
SIOUXFAN97 Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 wondering if this is good news for RR that's it's taking this long to even annonce a press conference...maybe its a 50/50 and Kelly doesn't know what to do??? 2 Quote

Blackheart Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 74- 26 hawksIs that the percentage or the actual number of votes cast in the "final-final" runoff? Quote
obborg Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I thought you were a Nodak then Roughrider guy? I was Fighting Sioux Forever then North Dakota then Nokota then Nodaks then Hawks...Next round I'm all in for Roughriders. Quote

snooty89 Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 They should have had 2 press releases already made. The results would have been known at midnight and the release should have gone out around 10am this morning along with a press conference. It really shouldn't be this difficult. 1 Quote
bigskyvikes Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 I thought you were a Nodak then Roughrider guy?Nope, but when you dig back and see my rankings for RR higher then FH, keep looking to the post after when I say I used to have RR my next choice until the sky is falling talk and all other names are bad for UND, sanctions will come back, Sioux forever, the word fighting....blah blah blah made me not want to vote for it. Even though if it wins I will support it, but I did NOT want to side with the 4-6+ people on here...You were ready to paste and question me weren't you.... Quote

Though I do find it amusing that a couple of random, anonymous people on the internet were easily able to sway your vote. To each their own. Quote
