Part of the "Land of the free, and the home of the BRAVE"
Well, since we can't keep out nickname, it's not the land of the free, but we are in the home of the brave (and I don't mean an Indian Warrior).
I suggest "Brave" as our next name. Our mascot, if we choose to have one, could be and sort of military person, past (Cavalry) or present .
I'm all for keeping Fighting Sioux, but this is never going to go away, and I predict that eventually we will have to get rid of the name. Is now the time?
And, I also agree that the tribes should have NO say in what out next nickname is.
