Hmm. I thought a "boycott" didn't allow for hypocritical exceptions, as in Minnesota's case, so ... God, what a freakin' idiot ...

Depends. It is a "wide stance" too?

So, which one of them did "The Walk of Shame"?

I honestly don't see Ron His Horse Is Thunder or David Gipp suddenly doing a 180, and agreeing that the name/logo is okay for any price. Moreover, I have serious reservations, no pun intended, about dealing with a sovereign nation that has the Sword of Damocles over UND's use of the name/logo, and they can drop it at anytime. Rather than UND kowtowing to these people ad infinitum, I would rather the University show some pride and tell them to "pound sand", and move into the future without them being an albatross.

A big f'ing waste of time IMO. The SR leadership is deadset against the name/logo, and there's no way they're going to change their minds, and I doubt there is the political will on the reservation to force a change at the top. Rather than pandering to these people, just retire the name/logo into the history books on our own terms, and forget about them.

"The irony was thick with this one."

Put it for sale on Ebay. $250 w/ the name and logo. $1 w/o the name and logo.

FIRE HAKSTOL for that too!

Fire Hakstol!!!!

It's never too early.

My understanding is that the fund was "pay as you go", with some pretty solid backers who pledged to pay whatever costs/fees were incurred, so the fact there is little/no money left is not surprising.

Are they really just smaller versions of the regular jerseys, or do they really have the new materials they used last year, since I'd prefer a bit snugger fit?

Screw them. Let's use the Fighting Whities ... nobody will be offended then.

Some of us just enjoy the "comic relief".

She's had a case of "writer's block" for at least 15 years ...

Maybe we could change the name to the "UND Skeletons" ... we already have the mascot "Old Bones".

But then she began hearing and seeing the name used is offensive ways, and students told her about racist incidents on campus. She changed her mind about the logo she was once so proud of. Uh, sure Doreen. Care to provide any particulars? And if you're reading this: You're an awful writer, and UND should be ashamed it ever gave you a degree.

Or possibly some of the "S&M" set too ...

Only if the gloves have really big, garish flowers, and the gardner has a straw wide brim hat. And maybe some of those ugly-ass Crocs shoes too ... in red.

How about the "Fighting Peaceniks"?

Which nearly ignores the fact that tribes and clans were often at war with other as they pushed for their own territories. Sioux vs. Pawnee; Sioux vs. Chippewa (Ojibwe); Blackfeet vs. Crow; Shoshone vs. Cheyenne, etc., not to mention what the eastern tribes like the Iroquois and Huron often did to each other. Not to excuse a good deal of history, but your implication that the tribes were somehow innocent wallflowers is pretty disengenuous. Many tribes "gave as good as they got" with each other, and the US govt and settlers.

I tend to agree. The "Cavalry" would obviously offend women, who cannot by law be in "the combat arms" components, current fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan not withstanding, and I'm sure gays would be offended by the "don't ask, don't tell" policy of the military.

"They" should be thankful Ralph is dead, otherwise UND would probably be playing on an outdoor rink in University Park.
