  1. I don't know......if UND became the roughriders that would kind of be like a high school in South Bend, Indiana becoming the fighting Irish.....

    Lets let Red River, a school with tons of tradition keep the name they've had. And by gosh....would it cause a bunch of confusion...."Hey, did you hear what those roughriders did the other night"?

    I do not think people are going to be confused by the name, only if they went to NDSU would they get confused. Having lived in Iowa for three years and just finally escaping. It seems like half the team down there are the Hawks the Little Hawks or even the Co hawks. It will not be a problem.

  2. Doesn't Calvary have some religious overtones? ;)

    Yes Calvary does have religious overtones, but Cavalry is Military. I realize it is easy to confuse them. But I still like it as a nickname.

  3. I think that the new nickname needs to be either Roughriders or Cavalry! Hands down the best ones out there. I think everyone should go look at the Cedar Rapids Roughriders website and look at their Roosevelt logo, it is their alternate logo but it is cool. Something similar would be a great logo.

    Sioux forever!

  4. The fans need to get moving on and let this issue die.......Football season starts in less than a month. Find your pride on the field and cheer for your school.

    Said like a true Bison fan. I hope they come calling for NDSU's name next.

    This whole thing is a complete joke, the NCAA jsut wanted to push around a school from North Dakota to show they still have power. Lord know big schools never get what is coming to them. I wish they would go after Notre Dame, but the NCAA makes to much money from them and money is all the NCAA really cars about.

  5. <br />They will if the CCHA and WCHA end up merging...<br />
    <br /><br /><br />

    This was always my though, why not just combine the CCHA and the WCHA and have two different divisions, east and west or whatever? I think it makes more sense then an eight team conference.

  6. Why are so many people on ss.com ready to throw away the best nickname and logo in college sports? It seems like there are a few people left that want to keep the name and so many now are saying change it? I think that UND needs to keep the name and challenge the NCAA, someone needs to. Do you people not think the it is the least bit fair that a school like Ohio state cheats left and right and will probably get less punishment then UND because they disagree with a nickname, that is the sad part of all this.

    I have said before someone needs to stand up to this people and I for one am proud of the State of North Dakota for doing so. I realize some are so concerned about the Big Sky conference, but I do not think it is worth throwing away almost 80 years of tradition for the Big Sky conference.

  7. Translated: All I care about is hockey and the entire athletic department means nothing to me or the other myopic hockey douches.

    Oh and one more thing, are all hockey fans douches to you? That is a sad statement. I did not call you a single name, so please refrain from not speaking out of your ass about me

  8. Translated: All I care about is hockey and the entire athletic department means nothing to me or the other myopic hockey douches.

    No that is not what it means, so you only care about football and basketball? No it means, sometimes you have to stand up and fight for what is right. If the NCAA really gave a crap about Native American names then big schools like Florida State and Utah would be transitioning to a new name too, bu this is a power play by the NCAA to push a small school around in a small state just because they think they can. I cheer for all UND sports and I hope they do well. But someone has to stand up and say enough is enough.

  9. I think that the NCAA should be done away with ASAP. Schools like Ohio State can cheat left and right and have players selling stuff and coaches lie about it and they will have less done to them then UND. All because of a nickname. WOW, NCAA way to show that all you really care about is money from big schools, they are showing that they just want to push around a school from North Dakota to show they still have power. I honestly was Proud of UND and the State for someone finally standing up to these effing idiots.

  10. The Forum's Zaleski and who ever else helps write those editorials may be the most juvenile writers around.. Almost reminiscent of the Forum's editorial lambasting the Alerus Center as a "tin shed" compared to the Fargodome, because the Forum had Ralph envy. Is the Forum using the middle school fans on Bisonville as ghost writers?

    I just read that piece of crap. What a bunch of BS. Do these people not pay attention to the people of North Dakota. I guess it is just another case of them being smarter then me. I can't believe that they would even wawste paper printing that garbage. I also notice there was no place to leave a comment like most papers do.

  11. Not completely true, were in a suite, and will have booze and food. There will be no alcohol sales in the concourses though! Sioux fans will have to hit up the st Paul bars before the games, speaking of, where are the places to go by the x?

    Btw, didn't mean to + your post, meant to hit reply. Go Sioux!

    The fact that suites can have it but the other fans can't has always been Bullsh%$ to me. It should be all or nothing in my opinion.

  12. You are also the kind of person who thinks Michelle Bachmann, Sarah Palin, and Sharron Angle are women with something to say and should be listened to.

    They are women that have something to say, just because you might disagree with them does not matter. Sarah Palin has power and influence. She has supporters so yes she should be listened to. I suppose you think Obama should be listened to? You should and then use your own mind to decide what you want to believe, either Obama or Palin. Personally I think they are both idiots.
