No one owns the word/name Outlaws... Teams using Outlaws likely own their logo and any trademarked design using the team name. NHL Edmonton and NFL Houston both used the name Oilers at the same time so I don't believe you can copyright words that are in common use. You lawyer types would know the distinction...I know the made-up word 'three-peat' was trademarked by Pat Riley (hate him), not sure where that fits in the discussion but just wanted to take a shot at the Miami Heat.

Like the name Tsunami as well...intro would sound similar to now..."Here come your Fighting TSUUUUUUU-nami!"

Outlaws or Bandits seem to fit the state well...

Easy...once a Fighting Sioux, always a Fighting Sioux. I was hooked by the time I was 10 or 11 and have not looked back since. Watching games in western North Dakota on Prairie Public Television was only the beginning. The best part is that when I was able to experience it in person, it was better then expected. Now my entire family enjoys it...whether watching the games on tv or going to Final 5 or Regional games in Minneapolis. Go Sioux!

what a joke this thread has turned into...sad

There's no winners here, but I just keep reading page after page of people preaching on what the 'right way' to vote was on this issue. The nickname will be retired but everyone has to get their last shot in...It wasn't that long ago that we were all telling the NCAA to shove it up their a$$...Then they changed the rules and split the SIOUX fans into two groups, nickname only supporters vs UND D1 transition supporters...here's hoping that WE can all come together and support our teams AS WELL AS recognize and cherish the history that we enjoyed as Fighting Sioux!

Wildfire Tommy Rich, the wrassler?

Jt miller (suck it) and Stefan matteau invited as well...

Let the hunting down and scrubbing commence.

Not a fan of the shoot out...to me it's like having a free throw shooting contest at the end of a basketball game...ugh...

Was that Lee Goren?

As far as guys I've seen I would think Howard Walker, James Patrick, Ian Kidd, Curtis Murphy, Brad Williamson, Travis Roche, Chay Genoway, Matt Greene, Mike Commodore, Russ Parent, and Scott Sandelin would be in the conversation.

The Wolves are in the NBA?

Troy Jutting still available?

I totally see it that way...

Coach Eades, you are Sioux hockey. Good luck in all your future endeavors. You will be missed.

This whole thread is garbage. The only thing I haven't heard is that Eades was there that day in Dallas on the grassy knoll. Sad.

Agree here as well. The ice conditions will be fair to partly crappy based on average high temp at that time of year...not thrilled to watch the Sioux skate in concrete...not trying to be a downer, just realistic...

<cough-cough> ... Steve Debus ... <cough-cough>

Thanks DK!!! Here's to a hat trick against the Goofers!

Yes. And eff JT Miller. Thank you.

My understanding is that Minny didn't want anything to do with a Big 10 Hockey Conference but because of the benefits they reaped from the B10 Network (especially in football) they were asked to fall on the sword to help carry hockey with Michigan and Mich St. If you want to blame/hate somebody start with Barry Alvarez, Jim Delaney, etc...Still hate the gofers though...

Pronger? So you're saying he's a goon?

You could see it was heavily taped during the Final Five...most of the time he was gripping his stick with only 1 hand...unreal...

So what do you mean when you say that?
