andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!!

I concur.

I think the Sioux Indians should support UND in the use of the logo and nickname. But I also think that just because someone (or a group of people whether they are the majority of not) is offended by the nickname and logo is no reason you should not be able to use it. The University of North Dakota should be able to use it with or with out the support of the Sioux Indians. I will be offended if they change the name, yet it will not be changed back because I am offended. It is like owning a gun. You can still own a gun even if the majority of the people in this country are offended by it.

Wow! I agree with Sioux-cia, it was scary! Thanks for getting it back up and running administrator (and who ever else helped, if any). From the sound of things it had to be done though. I was not a member for the "ugly crash" but it sounds like it was bad.

This state votes Republican for presidential elections because this state is Republican. But like other small states (population) it votes Democrats into the Congress to "Bring Home the Bacon" meaning that they get money for the state. I don't know where you found out that the Catholic Church is pro-Democrat. Most every true, loyal Catholic (I am also Catholic) I have talked to is not pro-Democrat. I and other Catholics I know were opposed to John Kerry for president even though he is a Catholic.

Does anyone have an idea on what the University's next move will be now that their appeal was denied? Will there be legal action? Or will there be a different move? I am just wondering what is going on because they must have some sort of plan. Also, I have figured that if they can not get permission to use the nickname and logo they should just put white spots on their jerseys where the name and logo are supposed to be. I never want to see them use a different name!

So does that mean that the talent level between D-2 and D1AA is not that significant? I suppose we will find out when we play Northern Iowa. I also do not like the Bison but they do serve as a good guide.

I got my Holy Cross T-shirt the other day. It is very cool! I got the all purple one that says "Holy Cross Crusaders" on the front along with the logo. I wonder how much Holy Cross gear has been bought by UND fans? Go Holy Cross Crusaders! (Fighting Sioux are on the signature)

Wow siouxnami! Nice job on the post. All the info is much appreciated. I sometimes worry about the pipeline running dry but I shouldn't. Thanks for the reassurance.

I see there is two threads on this!?!?! To bad he left but nevertheless he was a FIGHTING SIOUX and always will be! Best of luck Sparky!!!

To bad he left but I hope he has the best of luck in the future. Go Sparky!!!!!

I think your idea has some merit. Look it how well Minnesota state did against the Sioux. They were a much older team and had more expeirence; plus, they have only lost one player to the NHL so far in David Backes, a Jr.

Maybe if the restrictions were put in place there would be more talent to go around because the powerhouses would not have so much turnover and the smaller teams would have more of a chance at good players. Sure the powerhouses will most likely still be better but at least Tech, for example, could probably get some decent players.

I like to do lots of things but especially sailing and motocycle riding. I also love to watch Formula One racing!

This seemed like the best place to post this. Anyone know of a Holy Cross forum? Thanks!

Thanks guys for the info!

Glad to read that there apparently is good support among the local restraunts.

I am not familiar with all the "UND support" that is in Grand Forks. I do get through there every now and then and I don

That is to bad. I hope they win the national title considering they are D1, I think, and the Sioux are not. I hope they get plenty of fan support too. GO Illinois!

Any ideas on who the Sioux are going to have for a starting goalie after Parise leaves? Parise will probably be back for next year but after that who is it going to be?

I think Parise will be back for next season. I sure hope he can help bring us national championship #8 and in having a good year, get himself drafted into the NHL. What do you think though, will Lamoureux still back him up?

Sweet!! The pictures have their own thread!! Thanks!

Sorry about the crap, but I'm not realy bothered by the pics being posted that way. between your pictures and the highlight clips from Siouxdonyms, the off season will be way nicer. Thanks again!!

I am so mad at the ncaa right now!!!!! It is not even a logical argument the ncaa is bringing to the table! Just because somebody is offended by a nickname doesn't mean you should be forced to change it! I could be offended by my hometown Minot High School Magicians but I am not and it would be crazy to be offended by it! Heck! there are probably loads of nicknames that somebody could get offended by that were not included in their list! University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go Illini too!!!!!

I don't know If this has ever been brought up before but oh well! Thanks Moderators for all your work!! With out you guys (and who ever else makes this site work!), this site would not be nearly as cool!! Keep up the good work! Thanks!! And by the way, I like not having any smack/bash threads.

I didn't know which one of these threads to post this on, so I hope this is a fine place for it! I am so MAD at the stupid insane ncaa (they deserve lower case!). I could run on for quite a while but I realy don't feel like it right now because it so late. I can say though that I hope the U drags this out intell they get to use the name and logo! I don't care how long it takes! If I had a trillion $, I'd do like D-1A football does and start a new national hockey turnament with the ncaa having no part in it! University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
