This has me so mad and disappointed at the same time. It is stupid. We should not be at the mercy of the tribes. That is insane. I do not like the settlement. I wish we would have fought it out to the end. I do not ever want to see the name or logo changed. But perhaps if it has to change, lets change it to the Fighting Germans (EDIT: in fact, call them German-Russians). I do not believe that is taken yet, and there is a high percentage of people with German-Russian heritage in North Dakota. And German-Russians, like the Irish (Notre Dame), will be honored by it and not offended. But we really should not even have to discus a new name and logo, we should be able to keep it!!!
