Yes, technically (and unfortunately) it is!!

I didn't see them described as "non-whites", I saw them described as African Americans. Speaking of African Americans, how many UND athletes are African American?!??!

I might be insulted if this were coming from anyone but you . . .

Oh, OK, I see . . . . Full Definition of ALMA MATER 1 : a school, college, or university which one has attended or from which one has graduated

Did you happen to take in the NDSU v. CSU game in 2012??!?! Oh, and how is it that UND is your alma mater when you took classes at CSU "to finish up [your] undergraduate degree" and allegedly received a graduate degree at Wyoming?! Does one get to cherry-pick their alma mater?!

I checking out of here for awhile. In reality, I was a proponent of the nickname, but now that it's gone, it's time for UND to move on and get pick a new one. Not doing so will just prolong all of this racism talk IMO.

OK, I'm checking out of this one. Good debate, and I don't think any of us won!

FIFY!

More likely true then not, but that's not the perception given UND's former mascot/nickname.

Can't argue with you there, but you are, in a way, making my point; that being it's ongoing at UND, or at least that's how the public sees it.

GT must have time to waste emailing BF like I do being here on the HYB.

Yep, no malum prohibitum law is broke by racism, but I would venture to say that racism is malum in se. By the way, who are the victims of the petition deal and who are the victims of UND's racism?

The racism at UND is so much more than the recent t-shirt episode. In fact, this t-shirt deal is just part of the overall racism at UND/in Forks thast has been ongoing for years/decades, but why would I assume you would understand and appreciate that?!

Yes, when you consider racism vs. the law that was broken here, but why would I even think you would be capable of thinking that way . . . I don't care where you live, "Oxbow", but apparently you like to broadcast where you do!

They may or may not, but I do know that Alabama has a HUGE lead in the number of Natty's!! 11>1

1. GT could give two-sh*ts about whether we play UND or not, hence what you are seeing. 2. I'm not complaining one bit--just addressing the post and admitting GT whined a bit when BigFluffy powerhouse bailed. Now you are getting it! Business climates change and, resultantly, so will the terms of a "potential" contract as or after those changes occur.

There may very well be some smoke, but at least flames aren't out of control Also, controlling racism may be just a bit more important than a petition for a bill benefiting the outdoors/wildlife. Wait, I forgot who my audience was . . .

Why the insult to Indiana?!

They may have, but the only people who would remember would be UND fans . . .

Thread title: "Indian nicknames in the news". My thoughts: Something UND should not want, but seems to be managing to do quit well. Perhaps one of the underlying reasons GT isn't overly motivated to get that elusive single game or H/H contract in football lined up is the ungoing dumbster fire up in Forks!

Deleted because I was completely wrong!!

Unfortunately, I have not been able to listen to your AD, as he hasn't had the opportunity to whine, because there is no team that would be concerned about playing and losing to you and exercise the buyout clause given that concern. GT's only whine came when your BigFluffy sister bailed late in the game, and he had to scramble to find another team to fill our home schedule (not easy to do as the then 2-time (it's 3 now btw) FCS champion). That team turned out to be Ferris State, and UND fans are delighted to point out the DII team on our schedule when, in reality, Ferris was scheduled because your BigFluffy sister, who was twice the team you were, didn't want an early season L on its record.

The real problem for BF (UND) is that he/it has no leverage . . . none!! So, either take what GT offers/agrees to, or go lay by your dish. I'd call that dictating the terms to at least some extent.

Kelly Green with envy anyone?!?!?

I was at the Montana game this year . . . Respect is earned, not demanded.
