No jinx with the NHL cover like the NFL, right?

Absolutely not! It's Sioux or nothing for me...I'm just one person but the 6-8 t-shirts and 3-4 pucks and throw in a couple caps every year will add up...take that times 20 thousand and you're looking at Marquette/Miami of Ohio impact...Just my opinion though...

Sucks that there's no triple minor anymore...

I think I know where the NCAA is coming from on this...In the words of Rick James, 'Cocaine is a hell of a drug'...

Incorrect. UND could ALWAYS use another Archie!!

It's all about priorities.

Agreed. This guy has shown little or no leadership on this issue so far and it's unlikely he will start anytime soon.

Gofers will be awesome next year...as long as the puck doesn't go into the corners...

Third) Avoiding those Bastards from Chestnut Hill

So you're saying this is a one-eyed MONSTER?

Well maybe they do both...donate money AND go to hockey games...If they want to quit the donations, that's their perogative...my guess is that this will end up like Miami of Ohio or Marquette and the impact will be felt for years to come... P.S. I don't need Bison fans telling me how I'm supposed to feel about this...Have a nice day.

Yes, please. Troll is just looking for attention and doesn't care how she gets it... Just like my 2 year old... Note: My 2 year old will occasionally listen to reason.

Oh, did this story get more pub then the Bison b-ball flood video? Now it's the media's fault...TFF

no logic or facts found in d-bags posts...thought you would have known that by now...

Can I get an Amen? Testify!

Well stated opinion Ira Murphy. MY opinion is that the current UND leadership didn't give 2 shits about the nickname. They were so 'excited about their new marketing opportunity' (Kelley's words, not mine) with a new logo/branding that it was much more convenient to dump 80 years of tradition to facilitate the move to D1. I'm glad he wore a Sioux jersey at the F5; it's a good way to get recognized by hockey fans. I understand Kelley does not control the decision making process at Spirit Lake or Standing Rock but his lack of communication to students/alumni/etc. left people wondering just exactly what his position was. He was not alone in his lack of opionion on the issue; the rest of North Dakota's leaders/politicians seem to be blaming each other for the current state of affairs. I have had communication with him; my initial email 11 months ago went unanswered but he did respond to one I sent several weeks ago. After waiting nearly a year, his standard form email just didn't seem to carry much weight. If the Native Americans decide they do not want UND to continue with the nickname, I can live with that. Having the SBoHE end the process early is not acceptable. From what I've read this has been a difficult process, but there's 6 months to the finish line...why give up early? Go Sioux!

Totally agree. UND leadership needs to make every effort to make this work. Alumni are not just going to sit back and say, 'that's ok, they did their best; here's my check...' Kelley has made no effort to hide his support for the Summit and excitement for the new marketing opportunity. He has no previous tie to UND; he's just a gun for hire to facilitate the change to D1.

Thanks young Skywalker. May the force be with you...

The only issue I have with your proposal is that the simple majority never seems to win.

That's only because not everyone has seen the fabulous Bison Basketball Flood video. That will bring back the memories for generations to come.

Hopefully the local media will be there in full force. They always seemed to be there when 4 people showed up to protest the nickname...

Just think what might have happened had ANYONE in the UND leadership taken this stance. I applaud Hakstol and Roebuck for having the cajones to say what they felt.

Yes sir...understand the history, just hate the name as a nickname...and yes, some comments are hotheaded and made off the cuff...really disappointed in the way this whole thing was handled/not handled...ok, now breathe deeply and count to 1,000...

No worries... SiouxPR is the tool...

Nokota = stupid Who the F*** came up with this idea?...dumbass
