I agree that Nokotas by itself doesn't come off very well, but Wild Nokotas does. Well. at least in my head it does. And as for your stuttering comment... as someone who stutters, I find it hostile and abusive and I'm deeply offended. Where do I sign up to be a victim?

I had someone ask me about this one today. I still like it. If UND were to go the animal route, this is the one that I would choose. Edit: See page one of this thread for the reasons why Nokotas would be a good name.

Ya know, it's comments like that that get you put on someone $hit list. Oh wait, you already are. I hope you are right PL.

Cavalry > Roughriders

I'm still not sold on Roughriders. Too many negatives, as I stated here.

A few months back I emailed Canadian Pacific regarding the use of the SOO name. The response I received....

Randomly ran across it on the internet, huh? I honestly don't feel the pain that many on the board are feeling. I've been hopeful that the name would stay. It will be hard to replace one of the best names and THE best logo in college sports, but I knew it was coming. Now, we need turn our energy toward getting another great name/logo. I've been reading about protesting and not letting it die. The toothpaste is out of the tube. It's over. Don't let the sourness of this negative step stick too long or you will be left out of the next positive step, finding a new name and logo. If you let the people who ended the last name dictate the new name because you couldn't let the old name go, you will have only yourself to blame.

Almost a year hold but it pretty much holds for me. What I don't want from a new nickname.

Mighty Soo!

If for not other reason than to smite Mpls, I hope UND finds another conference home besides the Summit.

I think the batter's shoulder is dislocated, too.

ND Supreme Court says higher ed board can retire Sioux nickname early

Agenda for this month's SBoHE meeting.... Warning!! Large file.

For some reason I believe today is the day that the SBoHE says "change the name". If something had come out of SR yesterday that said that we plan to have a vote on this issue, the SBoHE would likely have tabled the issue. Inaction on the part of the SR allows the SBoHE room to say "well we gave them a chance to move a vote forward".

Along with that scenario is maintaining Native Americans programs that some on this board have advocating cutting if the votes didn't go the right way. The numbers prove the NAs are in favor of the name, so how can you penalize them when it gets dropped. Just to be clear, I don't care if the majority of the NAs vote against the name, maintain all programs at current levels. Just let the people vote. I can live with the results.

Wrong! I will never be convinced that membership in the Summit is more important than the name. Those who feel that way cannot possibly be true Sioux fans.

As I have stated before, I would submit to whatever the tribes decided, up or down. The way this is moving, the people of SR don't even have chance to have their voice heard. I appreciate the effort by Archie Fool Bear and am sorry he didn't get a chance to complete it. Very disappointing.

Looks as if the rivalry picked up pretty much where it left off.

Add reading comprehension to your list of deficiencies.

I guess they don't teach English at Moo You. Slander.... defamation by oral utterance rather than by writing, pictures, etc. Libel.... defamation by written or printed words, pictures, or in any form other than by spoken words or gestures.

:lol:

I've been out of the loop the past few days and just had a chance to read about this. I doubt that the deal between NDSU and KFGO occurred in a vacuum. I would be surprised if Faison hadn't heard of what was going on and been working behind the scenes on contingency plans. The lack of direct contact by KFGO to UND Athletics after a 17 year relationship is quite unprofessional. But in the end it may work out better for UND. We'll just have to wait and see.

What this guy said.

Thanks for the update. It is appreciated.
