stoneySIOUX

Other than the Irish (and he's not a big foam fake guy, he's a human) none of my teams growing up had mascots. Just always saw them as hokey. I get the draw/appeal of them, though.

I hate mascots. Period.

I mean that in more of a sense of timing. Honestly, though, is it really that big of a deal that players say Sioux? They aren't boycotting the games because they have to wear the logo on their jerseys. Just like from the fan base, it's going to take time for everyone to embrace it fully. I think that's my main gripe. The "FH crowd" seems like they are expecting people just to "get over it".... this causes the "Sioux Forever" crowd to cry NEVEEERRR. Just a cycle of stubborn lol.

Oh, I know. I just saying I don't want it lol. I definitely know it's coming.

Well, maybe give the team like 20 more years and check back in on this?

He's hoping the team would rally around the new name. Like you said, doesn't mean it'll happen or it should happen.

See, guys and gals?? We can meet in the middle! Cheers, '83

So, away from the standard nickname talk and onto the one about a mascot... I don't want a mascot because I think they are dumb, not because it'll be a FH.

I understand what you're saying. I don't necessarily agree, but my problem with what you posted was just timing and choice of topic. That's it. I totally get the argument of the hockey team not supporting the transition.

I think it's an easy answer. Doesn't mean that answer will change anything, but it's an easy one.

Maybe you're the only actual "true fan"?

I used my example because that's what I've had come my way. You've had it come from the other, which I then acknowledged. Alright, man. Whatever. So exhausting.

Yeah, and I literally JUST SAID THAT. Did you gloss over the line where I said both sides have their knuckleheads that can't meet in the middle?

It was correct the first time. I appreciate the attempt, however. Let's just wrap this up, ok? Both "sides" have their knuckleheads that can't meet in the middle. It's the same frickin' "argument" every time. I just think it was silly to pick that tribute to Humboldt as a pulpit to preach about the nickname.

I feel the same way about the Hawks crowd who are telling me every time I wear a Sioux jersey that I am not supporting UND the right way. I'm not a Sioux Forever person. I get it. But like Archy said, I don't think I should be talked down to or looked poorly upon if I don't like the logo and don't want to buy a Hawks jersey. It's as simple as this.

Sorry... it's one of my favorite words. I have to remember my audience hahaha jk.

You're the one who said it, not me. You're certainly acting little by getting upset at that message by the team. This nickname argument is what is infinitesimal and it completely clouded your view on a really cool gesture by the team.

^^^THIS But for the Hawks lovers, it seems to be all or nothing. If you don't fully jump on board with the logo, you aren't a "true" UND fan. Just nonsense.

Posing as what? You're so butthurt over something so infinitesimal, you let it blind a fantastic message.

Yeah, GF has no idea hahaha. GF, you know I love ya, buddy.

My advice. Stop coming here

Totally understandable. But, I don't think anything I said seems irrational.

Interesting run right at the beginning of the season. Should sweep BSU, despite them seeming to always give us trouble. I think Mankato will have taken a step back and we're at home, so I feel we should sweep. Minnesota in Vegas is a toss up. Sconnie at home.... no idea what that team will be haha. At home, should get at least a win and tie. I feel like we should be able to start the season at the very least, 5-2. Anchorage at home and Canisius out east are two must-sweep series.

Forwards: Kucherov -- TB Ovie -- WSH Forsberg -- NSH Marchand - BOS Crosby -- PIT Oshie -- WSH Defensemen: Hedman -- TB Josi -- NSH Carlson -- WSH Krug -- BOS
