I understand where you are coming from, but I just think since its our school name, our state name the NCAA will not say Dakota is H&A because then we "Dakotans" both North and South are H&A, and even that would look ridiculous.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carolina_Algonquian

But its part of the name just like North Carolina and South Carolina but they both use Carolina. http://www.ulm.edu/mascot/position.html Also: It does NOT state you cannot use your school name.

But Dakota is NOT a nickname!!!! Its the name of the school. They are only targeting nicknames. There is 100% no way the NCAA would go after UND for using just Dakota.

Why not? North Carolina uses just Carolina. Its the state name and not H&A. Lets see the NCAA fight that one.

Any ideas what would be a cool "alternate" jersey? Since it will be mostly hockey that will stand out since bball has just North Dakota on it. I think we could put Dakota on it and then come up with a cool logo.

I think he is either JBB or Lakesbison. Lakes has multiple screen names on both the Forum and the Hearld.

Thanks Cratter. I thought ratify meant change, so thats what i got confused about.

Its going to be their ONLY money maker.

IMO its a stupid move by UNO. All for the Summit League??

So "ratify" that means they will continue to sell Sioux apparel? It says ratify the chancellors recommendation to sell it.

And yet there are still fans on Bville defending this jackass.

Here is the NCAA's response.....$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

He once threatened me on AGS in a private message but I just laughed and got him banned. He is such a tool.

I hope Fox posts Lake's mugshot if he gets arrested. ps.. Bison fans should be so proud to have a fan like him. Since some people praise him over on BVille.

This is why I was unsure I wanted this bill. If its not a slam dunk victory then people's hopes are going to get crushed. So if it comes back unconstitutional then its back to picking out nicknames, and scheduling Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin.

Like Oklahoma, Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa, basically most states are from Indian names.

I would love to have a Dakota rotation with all 4 Dakota teams.

This is what I think makes most Sioux fans mad. You have a FCS OOC game that counts towards playoffs and you instead play SD Mines. WTF Faison???

That will end when we go back on the H&A list.

If he schedules DII/NAIA teams over USD then Houston we have a problem.

This is a surprise. You would think after our DII team beat them at their house they wouldn't be on the phone trying to get a game at our house. I guess UNI is "scared".

http://www.kfgo.com/fm-headline-news.php?ID=0000004079 Wouldn't be our luck if it come back being unconstitutional and we have to go through the retirement after all.

The quote of the day!!! I do hope UND plays USD in the near future!

You said it yourself..."because a loss would eliminate NDSU being viewed as the superior program" So exactly who outside of Fargo views NDSU as a "superior" program? Do you have quotes from UNI, or SDSU or SIU? Because to me thats just the green and yellow kool-aid talking. If you would like I could put up a poll on AGS.com and let the FCS world vote to see if NDSU is a "superior" program. Because IMO the last time NDSU was "superior" was in the 80's and early 90's you know pre-Fargodome era.
