  1. Me too but if those scenarios were to happen you know what the repercussions would be.
  2. Finally something we can agree on. It would be nice to be able to have a few conversations that didn't feel adversarily.
  3. Okay but if a group of students were to show up at any UND event wearing the Siouxper Sober shirts - I think there would be a ruckus. What if they were shown on Facebook wearing the Siouxper Sober shots and taking shots at a local bar? Perhaps everyone should get a Siouxper Sober shirt and we should have a Siouxper Sober night at a hockey game next year - think there would be any double standard there?
  4. Sioux Falls - transition year game would you like to go back and review your transition years schedule.
  5. I stand corrected however it does appear like the shirt was being used to promote sobriety and if it's being done by Native Americans then we have the double standard again. it's okay for them to do it but not okay for anyone else. Hope the Herald picks up on this.
  6. I highly doubt this shirt was developed by Native Americans or anyone supporting the group that wants the Fighting Sioux name scrubbed from UND. This is just as offensive as the other shirt. It is the basterdizing of the Sioux name that was one of the main reasons this group wanted the nickname to go. I still have a water bottle with the name H-Sioux-O on it when they gave that away after a football game about a dozen years ago all hell broke loose.
  7. I always just take that saying as trash talk on a fan site, nothing anyone who knows anything about NDSU really takes seriously. The reason ND has more millionaires than any other state is the farmers. But it's a funny saying and nice to toss out when someone is dissing UND.
  8. You really think anyone who lives outside a 100 mile radius would choose FU over UND because they "get to live in Fargo" - reality check both are small town North Dakota and a short term stay for 95 percent of students - you may think having a Sonic moves Fargo up a notch but for most people - nope. I think based on alumni giving back to their schools that UND is doing pretty well - didn't take UND long to reach their multi-million dollar fundraising goal - FU struggled and begged and (don't even know if they ever made the goal). You must really enjoy wasting your time here because you are accomplishing nothing other than perpetuating your Marsha Brady syndromn.
  9. https://www.facebook.com/#!/arentwesiouxenough?notif_t=fbpage_fan_invite Eunice Davidson a member of the Spirit Lake Sioux Tribe just released her book "Aren't we Sioux enough" which sheds some light on how Sioux Tribal Members who supported the Fighting Sioux nickname were treated.
  10. For someone who claims they don't troll much you are sure making up for it. We are happy with our schedule and it seems you are happy playing Weber State and the School of Immaculate Conception - it's the media that's making the big deal. Let's see who Taylor ends up getting and paying to fill those holes all to avoid playing UND. The joke is by the time the game does get scheduled the playing field will be much more level in more ways than one.
  11. Great now the new d**k measuring stick for FU trolls is the price of football season tickets - what's next the price of popcorn?
  12. Sigh - revisionist history once again. It's been shared ad nasium here and I'm not going back to find the details, but UND was in a very different position back then from FU. UND already had success in DI so less urgency, other issues were at the forefront. FU was seeing many DII schools start to catch up to them as scholarships were increasing at other schools, they were falling back into the pack thus the urgency to make the move sooner. FU fans continue to need to compare themselves to UND especially when they can spin it to make FU look better. Just be happy with what you have and stop needing to put down other schools to make yourself feel better. There is only on Flagship University in North Dakota - accept it and move on.
  13. http://Siouxpride.com So it's the logo they want to ban, so a shirt that just says Sioux is okay. Are they going to stop everyone with a tailgating vehicle that has a Fighting Sioux logo on it from tailgating? What if I want to drive my vehicle through campus or park it and I have the Fighting Sioux logo on my window? I'm thinking the next statue they put up outside The Ralph is going to be the old "We're #1" icon. Oh and the threat was they would send letters to all tribes telling them not to send them kids to UND - well that should also end up shutting down the Native American Cultural Center since it won't be needed - every action has a reaction.
  14. You FU trolls are living Groundhog Day - you share your "pertinent facts" just about daily. You don't bring "well thought out opinions" you bring bison-swill - we get it - you are a bison fan on a UND site and the fact you come here regularly does speak of obsession - do you spend the same amount of time on your primary rival SDSU's site? And the comments made that "FU isn't UND's rival anymore" are taken directly from FU fans who use that song and dance to downplay every UND victory over FU.
  15. Quote regarding the non-UND shirt incident from Walk for Change Organizer - who is also not affiliated with UND: "Scott said the most recent incident was the straw that broke the camel’s back. “Native students aren’t going to want to come here,” she said. Story in same Grand Forks Herald: UND will hold its general commencement ceremony at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at the Alerus Center in Grand Forks, which the university said will be its largest ever with 1,915 students eligible.

    Greg Hardin??

    http://predominantlyorange.com/2014/05/14/2014-nfl-draft-scouting-denver-broncos-udfa-wr-greg-hardin-north-dakota/ "There’s another player the Broncos picked up that shouldn’t be overlooked for kick/punt return duties, and one of the more intriguing playmakers from the small school ranks. His name is Greg Hardin, and he comes from the North Dakota Fighting Sioux football program."
  17. https://www.facebook.com/#!/mahto.oyuspa Okay this woman has my admiration.
  18. So you have a team in the NCAAs and you are spending your time on a UND Fan site - you are the definition of pathetic and insecure.
  19. Dang and you drove right past my place I could have hoped on board - we could have brought my tailgating van but more appropriate to show up in a Jeep Cherokee - can we stop at the Siouxper Suds over on Gateway when it's done i have a load of laundry to do.
  20. http://www.nbcnews.com/#/news/us-news/more-160-texas-students-suspended-dress-code-violations-n106661 Right up your alley Mafia Man - 160 high school kids suspended for violating dress code.
  21. Didn't the follow-up articles say things like "it's a long-ter process" and "we have no concrete plans right now." That makes me think that it's not going to be such as radical decision - you can bet they are talking with plenty of lawyers about what they can do and how to achieve it - banning logo clothing hard to imagine - banning hostile and abusive signs, clothing etc. and setting clear gudelines for punishments toward students involved that I can see.
  22. From the Marquette story: Today’s Marquette players and students weren’t even born when the team was last known as the Warriors. Yet students still wear “Indian” headdresses to games and chant for the Warriors. So even recently Marquette lets students in the building wearing Native American Headresses? Wow - where are the cameras - sounds like they need to have a Walk for Change and a Native American Cultural Center on their campus - perhaps they would take UNDs?
  23. Grand Forks Herald has a story that claims the shirts were "spotted at Springfest a local festival popular with UND students." I emailed the reporter and asked if that was a confirmed fact as I too had never read of anyone seeing the shirts at the community event, not held on UND property and not sanctioned by UND. I also think they should stop referring to them as students as that also alludes a connection to UND which appears not to be the case. If these stories were accurate they would read "A group of young adults posted images of themselves wearing t-shirts that could be considered racist toward Native Americans. The images appear to be taken at a private residence at a private party."
  24. Buttfootball - but FU found money to overpay the new women's bb coach - how were ticket sales the last few years - UND averaged more than 800 per game. On an average home game Saturday in the fall UND sells 20,000 tickets (think about it you'll figure it out).
  25. Doesn't seem like making the playoffs is the current criteria for scheduling out of conference games - watching DII or a parochial school is what you are getting now. By the way there are just as many UND fans who are fine with the game not happening again - we're good with our out of conference schedule against San Jose State, Utah, Stoney Brook (2013 playoff team), Wyoming - how's your out of conference schedule looking?
