    The athletes you are cheering for are Fighting Hawks.  Very soon, none of the UND athletes will have ever played under the name Fighting Sioux.  Their identity will be the Fighting Hawks.  You can choose to support whatever you want.  But as for me, I am going to cheer for the Fighting Hawks because that is the identity of the team, the players, and the school that is playing.  It will change for you, like you said, eventually.  Same goes for other fans.  whether it is a day, a month, a year, or longer.  but jsut remember that delaying the process isn't going to change the result.  The sooner you accept the new name and eventual logo, the better off you will be.  It is going to happen eventually.  Might as well make the effort to make it sooner.

    No, they are University of North Dakota student athletes. And that is how I will cheer on and support them.

    I know Siouxperfan7 personally and I know this man is a passionate and loyal supporter of all things UND. So please don't question his loyalty or commitment to our programs.

    Haha, really? You his big brother? 

    So why is it okay for him to question the loyalty or commitment of fans who acknowledge that F'n Hawks is a horrible, generic junior high nickname?

    Look south...is a Bison, by today's standards which is not much different than a domesticated cow and that the fan base doesn't even pronounce the name right, a good nickname?  

    Yes, it is a very good nickname. 

  4. I'm not saying, "be nice to them." Treating (or insulting) women based on performance/merit rather than looks starts only when men stand up for it. 

     

    If she is husky isn't that a reflection of her performance/merit at the fitness center?!?

  5. Hey, at least it wasn't saying UND Bison.  

    NDSU Bison

    Dickinson State Blue Hawks

    Miami University Red Hawks 

    12 in one hand, a dozen in the other. We have about as generic a name as we can possibly get. So what does it matter what school we are mistaken for?

  6. Still trying to sell what was NEVER and DID NOT win! Give it up!

    You sure freak out anytime Roughriders is brought up and get extremely defensive about any perceived slight against the F'hawking nickname. 

    But heaven forbid other people have opinions & feelings about the nickname ordeal.
