"We have a period of detente for right now and I think the best thing we can do at this point is that if we cannot be 'Fighting Sioux' at least today, then no other name can replace what we had and let's stay 'North Dakota' because North Dakota is also a name we can be proud of," says UND alumnus Sean Johnson. Task Force Representative Chuck Horter says the school does not have to select a new nickname at all. "We can be just North Dakota, we can select a new nickname, but we don't have to select a new nickname. That's why we need your feedback," says Horter. This from the meeting in Bismarck last night. Sounds a little different than what some have been preaching on here.

Well played.

My bad.It's late,I'm old.

Wasn't it a Miami player who tweeted "Nothing here but six points" after landing in Grand Forks last year? How'd that work out?

Newcomer run over by welcome wagon.

Maybe that's because they're older and have lived long enough to see the changes, whereas people who are younger think everything has always been as it is now. Just sayin.

If you believe society hasn't changed that much,you either have lived in a cave all your life or were born 10 years ago.

I'd still cheer against them.

I am for just being North Dakota, however if it comes down to having to have a nickname (which I'm still not convinced of), has Big Green been mentioned? Big Red works for Cornell and they don't have an official mascot. Flame away.

Yes and doesn't matter, you always want the rodents to lose.

TCOS-LOL Some teams do it after every game,win or lose. The Sioux only do it after a home sweep. That's what makes it special.

Aw c'mon. Kober is just as knowledgeable as Rob Andringa. It's just that Andringa can speak english and complete a sentence.

So what? UND has officially retired the Fighting Sioux nickname. They have met the legal requirements of the NCAA. If the fans continue to use the Fighting Sioux name, I believe this is still the United States of America and we still have something called the right of free speech. You seem to be so worried about appeasing the NCAA and the perpetually aggrieved. UND has. I sir, and I believe many other fans and alumni, are not, nor do we have to.

FYP

Outplayed Bucky badly except for start of the first. Missed a ton of grade A's. I sense an old fashioned butt kicking tomorrow night.Go Sioux!

Must be same cameraman as CC games. White balance way off, can't see puck.

If he's a roughneck, I'm an astronaut.

In the context that the perpetually aggrieved might find it offensive to blacks. You think that's not possible. They went after Ol Miss because they decided it came from the name for a female house slave not that it was an affectionate name for University of MISSISSIPPI! I kid you not.

Black Stripes=Racist

You got the first two letters right.

The encouraging thing from this mess of a game. This team can win. And winning cures everything.

5-1-1 to start the season. I'll take it.

Hire Mel?

Too much trick or treating last night?

Why are there 2 game threads? This game is f'd up enough the way it is.
