UND1983

Had the name before it was deemed racist and was retired. Don't feel like setting up a new handle. Will in time.

Gee, did you happen to love the Sioux nickname? I can't tell.

You forgot this one:

Is that not what I just said above? Looking at new sanctions for not adopting a new nickname. If they don't adopt a NEW nickname, they are fostering an environment to use the old one, which is racist and hostile. That is EXACTLY what they were saying.

Because you want UND to be Sioux Forever, which you stated yesterday. What a pathetic, sad reason.

We then evolved and said yes, according to the article, UND is fine with the OLD agreement. But, the NCAA then said they will re-visit it if problems arise with using the old nickname and not adopting a new one. Correct? hahahaha!!!

Based on their twitter accounts, sounds like they wanted to enjoy high school again (facepalm). Anybody who has gone to college would tell you that high school is a small memory after being on campus for 4-5 years. No comparison.

We all agreed that the NCAA wouldn't use the old agreement as their basis. They said as much.

"If I agree with Forum Communications editorials, they are geniuses!" "If I don't agree with Forum Communications editorials, they are incompetent nincompoops!"

Because deep down you don't want anything to replace Fighting Sioux as the school's nickname?

The pattern is what he described before he said "it has become a pattern". Figure it out. You have absolutely no clue how a few of your coaches recruit, none. Some of us actually do. Is it all encompassing - no.

You don't believe anything that is brought up here. Is it possible that they act more than one way, depending on the recruit and time of the year? They talk to 100's of recruits every year and at the end of the year they start trying to steal other team kids to fill their class, like all staff's do. Hence the staying in contact with recruits. Just so happens that they have been trying to get UND's lately when they didn't 2-3 years ago. The guy laid out the entire conversation above and you don't believe it. Unreal.

Unfortunately, I feel there would be more than a few hockey fans that would gladly sign up for that option. Hockey stays D1 and name stays Sioux, rest of the sports to NAIA.

It wouldn't and has nothing to do with what we are talking about. What are you even trying to say? No new nickname is good enough for you?

http://www.grandforksherald.com/opinion/letters/3820659-letter-rancor-suggests-nickname-choice-should-be-delayed LOL. Another guy who thinks we are "rushing" the process. It's only been 4 years since we used the Sioux name last and now we are supposed to all the sudden "slow down" and unite. The nickname committee started in March and 6 months later we are only down to 5 names. That isn't slow enough for him after 5 years of knowing the name is gone?

Sold. Lets implement it STAT.

But nobody cares if people complain about FSU or CMU or Utah.

Cool, makes sense. But why do you want to stay North Dakota and have no nickname? You have said you want to stay North Dakota/UND but gave no reasons why. Or why it would benefit UND as an institution.

You don't want a new nickname, now or ever. Finally some honesty. If more of you would answer honestly like that we could finally clear up the real intentions.

Once again, why "for the time being"...then what?

They don't even have the ability to web stream the game. They need somebody else to step up and offer to do it and nobody wanted to. Pathetic.

OK, so you are indifferent to the old Sioux name and long ago accepted that it's gone. What is the problem then? I am still waiting to hear what these brand new, shiny nicknames are that everyone is going to agree upon 2-3 years from now?

If it will shut the Sioux Forever crowd up and allow the University to move forward, I am on board.

What are some nicknames that should have been on the list? I would like to hear the golden name that will mentally allow the Sioux crowd to move on.

Once again, what is the point of not picking a nickname and delaying the invevitable? And I don't want an answer that comes from a hockey rube point of view. As you alluded to, UND and the State of ND are not putting one more dollar into this stupid fiasco. They will never go to court again so get that out of your heads when trying to save the Sioux legacy. Give us the positives of not picking a nickname.
