GrahamKracker Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 There is a very clear pattern developing here folks: FSU + tribal support = quick approval CMU + tribal support = quick approval Utah + tribal support = quick approval UND + (all the votes not in yet) = ?? (And I'll bet no NCAA response will be forthcoming until after the Spirit Lake tribal council acts) The NCAA has put themselves in the perfect position with this whole deal. A nickname and/or logo is clearly NOT hostile and abusive if the tribe approves its use. No tribal support, and the name is verboten. We'd all better pray the Spirit Lake vote comes down in UND's favor. I hope Pres. Kupchella does well in his meeting with the tribal leaders. And I hope a couple of our favorite posters here and their friends are, ahem, unable to attend the meeting. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Don't worry, we'll be there to "back" your president, I have a few trump cards that haven't been presented yet, just waiting for the right time. But that time is coming. Quote

GrahamKracker Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 This dude reminds me of Dr. Evil <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Dr. Evil, never heard that one before. Did he tell the truth too? Maybe he told people what they didn't want to hear. Quote
PCM Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 yeah, but not smart like Dr. Evil.... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And definitely not as funny. Quote

HockeyMom Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 ha ha ha.....we'll see who has the last laugh <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's right, we will.....and you're not going to be very happy. Quote
PCM Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 I'd like to dedicate a verse from Sundown by Gordon Lightfoot to our good friend, GrahamKracker: Sometimes I think it's a sin When I feel like I'm winnin' when I'm losing again Quote
GrahamKracker Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 That's right, we will.....and you're not going to be very happy. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> why's that HockeyMOM? Quote
crosby_87 Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 Why are you using the Cleveland Indians logo? That, to me, is not a good example since it is a cartoon picture. I think that our logo is a very prideful representation of native americans. Quote
PCM Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 This doesn't happen everytime, but you have to admit that the name/logo is a catalyst for ignorance and racism in one way or another, plain and simple. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why admit to something that's not true? Quote
Diggler Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 This doesn't happen everytime, but you have to admit that the name/logo is a catalyst for ignorance and racism in one way or another, plain and simple. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Stupidity is the catalyst to ignorance and racism, not the logo. If someone yells at you and calls you names because you want to change the name, it isn't because of the logo that they are doing that. It is because they are an idiot. Saying the logo is the reason for their ignorance is giving them an excuse. There is no excuse. Quote
cheppi Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 So if the name was changed your saying people on campus would still tell us to go back to the reservations? You know, I'm willing to take a chance and blame the logo for many of the injustices that happen here on campus. Put it this way, in the long run, it can only get better on campus w/ the logo/name in our rearview mirror. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What he is saying is: Some people may be ignorant morons but hey I needed to find someone/something to blame for my perceived racism.
