Just like the Marquette fans who wear their "Warrior" gear, Dartmouth fans wearing their "Indians" gear. I am sure they will see those names come back too. You my friend may be waiting quite a long time for the Fighting Sioux name to come back.
Michigan loses at home to Eastern Michigan!!!! First win for EMU in Ann Arbor since 1997. Maybe UND should've scheduled the Wolverines instead of the Gophers.
A UND fan just posted his (or her) first post on BV about this, and now is getting them all worked up. Why post over there, its like hitting a wasp nest with a stick pretty soon they will all buzz on over here.

I found this link predicting our RPI and if you click on the team name it gives predictions on our season. Our current RPI is 181, and they except UND to have an 11-17 season (8-10 in conference play). Non DI teams are not included in records (and probably RPI)
The NCAA rule states to have a NA nickname you need tribal approval, UND didn't. What is so hard to understand that. You must be one of those people who don't care about the sanctions as long as we are the Sioux. Well I will love the Sioux name and logo but sanctions are to great and would affect the program to great if we kept the name. Go to Standing Rock and get the tribal council to change their mind if you truly believe it's never over. I wish you luck on your trip to Ft. Yates. Keep us posted on the outcome.
You actually think the NCAA will allow UND a Native American nickname, or the SBoHE for that matter? Ever hear of tribal approval UND didn't get it per the settlement that road is closed.
30% new name in 2015

As I read it. (although it could be the same group)
If the Herald would just print the entire results it would be easier to read
The ESPNU guys were saying nice things about our young guys, and despite the score we won't see this type of talent in the Big Sky. I hope they're right and we can put this game up as a learning tool for conference play. I knew UND was going to get blown out but it showed the players didn't quit and played hard to the end. The announcers said that too.
NDSU played UND tough last year and UND still went to the dance, it was their Super Bowl I wasn't surprised with a close score. Most importantly they won.
