I agree, that's why I said it was my opinion. If people don't want to stop doing it, that is their choice, my post was only intended to make people think about it and then come to their own judgment.

I know there has been a lot of over sensitivity on this board over the last week, and I hate to add something that others may feel as over sensitive, but I just can't keep my mouth shut. I absolutely can not stand when people at their team to the end of the national anthem. This is the one point in the game where every person in the arena should be thinking about the men and women who have given everything for their country. It is not a time to promote a sports team. I think, and this is just my opinion, that inserting your team's name in place of the Brave is completely disrespectful. This debate seems to come up several times a year, and I apologize for bringing it up yet again. This is just an issue that I felt I couldn't keep to myself. My apologies for going completely off topic.

pseudo. And where is the creativity in that rip?

Come on, I know you guys can come up with some new, improved material if you put your minds to it. The bleach, perm and manicure bit is played out. Suggestions: facial peel bikini wax chemical straightening hair extensions The trash talking has been sub par at best, work on it.

Seriously, where did I say anything the government's treatment of Native Americans? Did I say anything about Minnesota being any different from North Dakota. I have spent time on reservations too. I grew up in Northern MN, adjacent to the Nett Lake reservation. I just don't understand why the OP thinks that the Tribal Council will be worse off when the nickname goes. Where you found that other stuff in anything I said is quite a mystery.

Wow, someone must have had a bad day. I was just trying to understand what the OP was saying. Keep the skirt on.

So, if the University doesn't get its way, it is going to be the Native Americans who suffer? What, is the state going to ignore them because they disagreed with the name?

You will be right behind them then? People who live in the city are all a bunch of metrosexuals anyway, especially St. Paul.

It's pretty arrogant to not even consider that there are two sides to the debate. That attitude does not win support from the opposition.

Not at all, I was just attempting to add to the point that you never really know what to expect come playoff time. Probably a bad analogy, but I was trying to play off the style of HG's post, which can only be done with a name like Holy Cross, Michigan State, Oral Roberts, etc.

Ferris what?

I guess they are going to have to do away with all the country music at the Ralph then. Goodbye nitty gritty dirt band...hello

Well, it appears that some of the Sioux players are like a lot of the Sioux fans--they have thin skin.

North Dakota has been rip off free since they got rid of the Blackhawks logo.

You know how OSU is The Ohio State University? Well, UMTP is The University of Minnesota--Twin Ports Campus, hence the tUMTP.

So, the reason you are a Sioux fan is because you were forced. :D

They are more "hard nosed" than the Sioux.

Hakstol's head has been called for more than Luciapet's.

Oh, ok.

Where have you heard anyone calling for Lucia's head?

11>10, Goligoski was put on the Penguin's roster last week.

I've always been kind of obsessed with Heidi Klum.

So far haven't heard anything to that effect.

My guess as to why is they are trying to keep a more traditional collegiate atmosphere. The same reason you don't hear piped in music during the games.
