I still like the idea of having no "official" nickname, just the University of North Dakota, and somehow find a way to use Fighting Sioux as the "unofficial' nickname.

How about the Green Goons??
Then bring back the green gorilla.....
on second thought, nix the gorilla!

I realize that, but I do find it interesting how the phrase is used and am a little suspicious that the powers that be are maybe trying to get everyone used to something other than "Sioux". That is my point....

This is somewhat off topic (although narrowly), but does anyone know what the "Force of the North" is all about. To me, it seems someone is trying to slip this phrase into sporting events so everyone gets used to hearing it, then suddenly we will see a new name adopted.
I don't think the new Sioux Football posters have the phrase "Fighting Sioux" on them anywhere, but Force of the North is along the top in large letters.
Anyone else feel the same or know what's up?

As an Alum of the U, it is very disheartening to see the President of the University and the Student Senate basically lay over and play dead. What ever happed to pride in your school and community? The fact that a group can come out and attack UND and arbitrarily label the moniker is absurd enough, then add the fact that the person/group designated as the leader(s) cower to those statements and designations is unbelievable. Sioux pride, and what it stands for, is definitely absent in the Student Senate and President's Office. As I see it, the leaders of Standing Rock could have prevented this sh@#storm long ago by giving their members a voice, instead of letting a few speak for the many. That decision would have put this to bed, either way. I view the recent legislation as giving those, and other, residents a voice in the nickname issue.
