    So, the other universities that have "bird" nicknames are childish and/or have immature fan bases? 

    UND is no more privileged than:

    Air Force Falcons

    Ball State Cardinals

    Boston College Eagles

    Bowling Green Falcons

    Eastern Michigan Eagles

    Florida Atlantic Owls

    Georgia Southern Eagles

    Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks

    Louisville Cardinals

    Miami (OH) Redhawks

    Oregon Ducks

    Rick Owls

    South Carolina Gamecocks

    Southern Miss Golden Eagles

    Temple Owls

     

    Yes, there are a lot of "bird-related" nicknames, but most of the schools have identifiable logos and, most importantly, do just fine with their athletics. UND can do just fine with marketing and promotions as the Fighting Hawks. Furthermore, UND can be successful on the field, ice, and court as the Fighting Hawks. 

    would you wanna be grouped with your list of schools or this list of schools?

    Arkansas

    Delaware

    Florida

    Hawaii

    Indiana

    Maryland

    MIchigan

    Minnesota

    Nebraska

    North Carolina

    Ohio State

    Oklahoma

    Oregon State

    Pennslyvania

    South Dakota

    Tennessee

    Wisconsin

    Wyoming

    ????????

    And then there were 2....

    I fly to away games to support them SiouxFan97.  Don't tell me I don't support them.  I am entitled to my opinion.

    being competitive in the d1 world is more than just ticket sales (away games don't help und btw)...merchandising can make und some decent money and hawks aint it...

    kinda like bubba in duluth...did his successor win with his guys or bubba's guys?? lennon did well the first two years (his guys or the previous guy guys) but since then he's a couple games under 500 i think...getting paid too much money to an average mid-con school?

    The day the two tribes proved they weren't good neighbors (by not helping) was the day I realized the name and logo was gone and that I would quit wearing it. 

    They were done with us; I was done with them. 

    I really couldn't put a finger on it but I feel the same way...I haven't worn a lot of my Sioux stuff since it was dropped...I'm actually for replacing pretty much every Sioux head around campus with either a hick in overalls, a generic hawk symbol, or a cowboy on a horse when this is all said and done....

    Indian nicknames in the news

    You say eliminating NA nicknames pushes NA culture off the map, but you are only speaking of your own personal map.

    Besides, does it seem to you like the tribes are interested in such publicity?  (Hint:  We failed to get their support to keep "honoring" them.)

    We?  You mean Grant Shaft and those losers that supposedly went in fighting to keep the name....and last I checked yes you honor people by naming roads, bridges, building, universities, scholarships, boats, and cities after them to remember them forever...

    Removal of Native American mascots isn't really about wanting to forget about Native Americans.  It's much more about wanting to forget about our own racism towards Native Americans.

    wow...ask students right now to name the three tribes that make up the great sioux nation and most will have no clue...ask students that attended und when they were known as the sioux and you will get a lot that will give you right answer.  part of the beauty of naming und after the sioux was to educate students as they passed thru und of the history of north dakota and especially the plains indians...that's gone now.
