You would think that the school would be very careful with this... we have seen that original intent and receiving extensive permissions can very much be twisted and maligned and retracted in the future. The track record from "Honoring" to "Appropriating or Using" is very well documented. I would pass. Quote

Terry Morgan, another anti-nickname organizer, said Friday that opponents had a "signed affidavit" from a witness who allegedly heard the damning quote but that he'd have to find it. The Herald could not reach him Saturday to see if he found the document. Days later he was contacted and admitted that there was no affidavit and he rationalized all of it as "Ends justifies the means". All it takes is one person and the New York Time will be here again - setting the record for the nation by taking only one side of the story and printing lies. I live in the cities and same stuff is going on right now.. Ends/Means no discussion. Quote

It's really one of the most underrated and forgotten stories of UND athletics history." - Jason Hajdu Quote

A discussion online a while talked about the human desire for fame and recognition driving poor situations. Not sure where it ended up going, but an interesting take. Quote

I do find it interesting, however, that J. Hadju had to weigh in on it via twitter calling the naming "long overdue." Really Hadju? The building opened in 2015. Nothing about it has been long. So glad that smug SJW moved on from UND. Blame Canada, ya hoser. 1 2 Quote
