UND1981 Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 Remember, Nodaks was one of the 5 choices. If it was fighting nodaks, it may have won. Quote

Like daddy taught me: Never shoot first; always shoot last. It's public information that Strinden favored Nodaks (was in the Herald) and he's on the board of at least one entity. So, complete the information package. Quote

UND1981 Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 Ask Jody Hodgson sometime what the position of the REA was before the nickname committee was formed. (He is not my source). Quote
UNDBIZ Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 Speaking of Hodgson.... From the history scrolls http://www.grandforksherald.com/content/rea-general-manager-dont-expect-changes-arena Quote Nothing will be changing in Ralph Engelstad Arena if general manager Jody Hodgson has anything to say about it. Quote "I'll have to discuss this with the board (of directors) as well. But, if I have anything to do with it, nothing in the building will ever change. Nobody will ever be allowed to change anything. "It would be the utmost sign of disrespect if anybody ever tries to deface that building. If I have anything to say on the matter, that will never happen. Never." Quote
UND1981 Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 Others that supported Nodaks, Dean Blais, Brad Berry, Dave Hakstol (his 2nd choice behind just North Dakota), Kris McGarry, REA. Yes, I see a pattern here! Quote
UND1981 Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 I'm not talking about changes to the building, just what REA preferred going forward with the name after FS.. Quote

Relatively fair conclusions, though they failed to remind readers McGarry lied multiple times in her interview. 6 Quote

They need us to fill that arena to make money to keep up with maintenance, utilities, etc. And your canard about an AHL team coming in and adopting the Fighting Sioux name and logo is not going to happen either. This is the logical result of a rich heiress being stood up to for the first time ever by a President with a backbone. Nothing more, nothing less. 1 Quote

She is being completely unreasonable because Kennedy won't roll over when she snaps her fingers. And that isn't going to change. How can Kennedy work with someone who runs to the media and lies through her teeth? She is not an honest broker. If we are going to cave into her every whim, we might as well make her de-facto President. Quote

He is supposed to have UND's best interests in mind............IMO that would include trying get this fiasco resolved. If he basically says "I can't work with her anymore" then UND will need to start selling lots of Hawk hats and that's ok as well. Quote

Is it supposed to be a diss of some sort? I am expressing my feelings regarding her spoiled rotten entitled attitude. She acts like everyone works for her and owes her everything. She obviously did not learn much from her dad about treating people right and being an honest broker in business. I stopped calling her a princess when some people complained, so I switched to using MISS instead of Ms. I suppose I could just drop it altogether. Quote
