andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!!

Yea I know what you meen. We were at Sportsworld in Minot once and had to ask to get the hockey game on so we could watch it. They did put it on which was nice.

Thanks everyone for the comments on reaching 100. Now, should I stick with the current name or change it to "ACF1" (like it is on SpeedTV's motorsports forum) or "ACF1-Sioux" (like it is on USCHO)?? Thanks for everything. I'll probably leave it though. (its kind of cool plus it's generaly the longest log in name on the site)

It's that close already! I was thinking 105 days earlier today. Nice to see I was wrong.

I agree with every thing stated. The Oilers just did not have the same depth that the 'Canes had but they beet out all other chalengers. Congrats to both teams. And yea, what a series! It was great! Boy, nights like this remind you of why you love hockey so much. Side note: my 100th post on SiouxSports.

Yea I figured you had to delete some but thanks anyway. Here's the smile-->

Yep. I agree. Congrats guys!

Thank You. What the heck! There can't be any more emoticons in this message! So pretend there is a smile right after the "Thank You."

Same here in central N.D. At least you people in G.F. got to see him with it.

Yea they maybe were to general. Any name/logo is to general, if you don't know the context. Indecent (no, the Fighting Irish logo is not indecent) logos/names should not be alowed. But that is a different discussion. I would not be offended by a school who used the nickname "pirate" and a corresponding logo, even though pirates are not realy something you would want to "honor." I hope the point I am trying to make has made it across clearly. It blow my mind how anyone could be offended by UND using "Sioux" as a nickname/logo. No school is going to purposefully slam their nickname/logo. That is contrary to building fan support. If opposition fans slam it that is not UND's fault. Edit: And opposition fans are not even slamming the Sioux Indians. They are slaming the opposition "team." I have nothing against gophers, only the team that is nicknamed for them.

None of the school's logos/nicknames are offensive and abusive. If a city is named for someone, like a saint, or like Bismarck, for a foreign dignitary, does not meen you should have to change it. I am of German decent and I have no problem with N.D.'s capital's name. City's are often named for people influential in their founding (Minot), for people of historical significance (St. Paul, Fargo), or for natural features (like, Grand Forks). School's are often named for local animals. They are also named for local people (Cornhuskers, Cowboys, and Sioux).

No one should have to change any name/logo just because someone else thinks that it offends them; even if the offended have the majority possition. What is going to happen if some group of people decides that North Dakota is offensive and abusive? Or Lake Sakakawea? Or what if St. Paul (city) offends the none religious??? This has to be stopped!!

Game 7! O Yea!!!!! Here we come, Monday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4-zip!

Greene just took a penalty. I sure hope this will not be the start of a comeback.

Yea!!!!!!!!

3-nothing!!!!! Powerplay back-hander.

Should be on Monday.

Time-out Red. They only have three shots and none in more than 28 minutes.

2 to nothing Oilers!!!!! They are on a roll!

End of the first. Still 0-0. The two former Siouxs seem to be getting plenty of playing time.

Great game so far! 0-0 8 min. to go in 1st. Go oilers!!!!

A no brainer?!?!?!? Have you done any research? And, "they alone shouldn't have to change their name yet other universities do?" That is so wrong. None of the universities (that I know of) on the list should have to change their names. No one should be offended by UND's nickname.

Same here.

Hey Smoggy! We both answered the same question at about the same time. How about that.

If I am not mistaken it is because the ref(s) in question were "grandfathered in" from the days when they were not required to where helmets.
