Since there was a settlement with a timeline for approval, wouldn’t the legality of bringing back the Sioux name be in question even 35 years from now?
How dare you misappropriate your bigoted laws of the past to the assumed identity of victimism of the future.

There is a lot of "I will never accept any new nickname besides the Fighting Sioux" pride out there. I guess people feel like they are standing up to whever they feel is going against that. Instead of directing their frustration at the NCAA, The Standing Rock tribal council leaders, Wayne Stenjehm for agreeing to a settlement that he knew would never happen, etc, they take out their frustration on the tangible, visible symbol of everything that they feel represents the Fighting Sioux being retired. And that is anything Fighting Hawks.
accurate.

I never said the mascot would bridge the gap. Time will bridge the gap. Just look on the UND Facebook page there are tons of Fighting Sioux forever comments, that won’t change but maybe in the next 5-10 years it could. Just look at GF Central, no Redskins chants, no Redskins forever on social media. They have a mascot too.
I think its going to take at least 5 years and then the financial difference can be compared fairly.
The Sioux logo is never coming back, but will always be celebrated.
Heres a question for ya....
in 35 years or so say maybe 3 generations from when the the change was demanded...
Say the tribes and rubberspined backbone of political correct libralism swings back in the gentle wind of needing a new cause and suddenly....
There's mass butthurt over the rasist and bigoted genocide of Native imagery in sports is the outrage of the privledged elite...... What happens then?
Does the head of the NCAA demand the reinstatement of previous native created images....who knows what zhe will enforce at that point...
Altgough by that time I suspect all mascots & logos will be banned along with competative contact sports.
In morbid reality it may very well be that the concept of athletics associated with higher education may ne a thing of the past, so it all wont matter.

An original looking bird?
So your saying that the name and logo have nothing original or unique about it?.
Shame someone was hoping for either of those things, from any of this.

Because this new reality of UND being the Fighting HAWKS with a mascot is finally sinking in that the imaginary chance of being the Fighting Sioux or no nickname at all is fading faster and faster.
There it is... I figured some would actually have this mindset. Just ignorant and delusional.
There is nothing about a mascot, a pathetic overpriced forced mascot, that comes close to bridging that gap. IN FACT i predict this will have the opposite effect for a bit longer now.
You delusional few... VERY FEW..... just will never have the capacity to understand that.... but hey..... keep buying those magic hawks t-shirts
At least we're adding jobs, or maybe workstudy options....
Actually maybe cut a pointless athletic scholorship and give that bird suit guy a full ride!

Carolina fires Ron Francis and Nieuwndyk resignes...
The new owner seems to be kicking out all the hockey experience and testing the total fantasy team becomes reality model.
Real effort or the Major League movie strategery for a move to Quebec....

Good Shyte. Right there, I'd have been proud to donate money to this.
Fools and money are so easily seperated.

A live hawk would do quite a bit to make people adapt to the new name.
The cool factor of a hawk swooping down out of the rafters of the Ralph to eat a dead rodent on the ice after the first goal..... (ala nashville tradition) would be great.
When you think about it it would be almost a textbook tactic on how to create new traditions.
They could still form a committee to discuss the species and then hold a vote to determine a name
.....and then pick something different when the students vote to name the hawk......... Sioux.
This would also give the butt hurt activist perpetual victimists a new reason to live in protesting the use of a live animal.

I just hope that the next mascot doesnt have googly eyes and a limp pecker coming out of its mouth.... #VoteNoDinker

UND could have both a live Hawk and someone in a Hawk costume.
Thats just a recipie for jealously, misplaced avian self esteem, and potential for bird on bird crime.

If you have the Spring Hill Suites at $98/night, keep it. I stay there a lot during hockey season. Great suites, comfortable beds, and the place is spotless every time.
This is true it is a very nice place actually probably the best of teh ones in that area, Id stay there for $98 and be happy with it.
-
Really its tough to save a ton at $98 a night without rolling the dice on hookers and bugs.
I like teh Expressway Suites across from the Alerus its, fairly priced, comfortable beds, easy drive to the pepper, has a big hot tub, decent breakfast if its biscuits and gravy day and can be found for as low as $65 some times but usually around $95-110.

Did you have a morning cocktail? The Bruins are no where near as dirty as they used to be. They're more of a skating team that played similiar to the 2015-2016 UND team. They grind teams into the ice. Create offense off of the forecheck. Last night's third period was a perfect example of this.
I've heard the Bruins frequently sacrifice liters of cats in a candle lit pentagram outside the shower room before each game.
Mr.. Slew foot Marchand seems like the type to tape a razor to the side of his boot to go after the leg tendons of a kid in a parent child skate.
You honestly think Chara is ALL human DNA ..... no way.
Seriously when I see Boston on the ice I kind of wish the British would have won.
And yes every day that ends in y is a good day to start with a cocktail...ertwo.
I cant stand Boston... unless they bring up Zano...then I'm buying a Bruins sweater.

They won't be the last to be spun off the massive pile of commits Wisconsin has taken the past few years.

I've got Suter in my top 15...and "when he [Parise] is healthy" doesn't make up for when he isn't these days.
Thats a fair assessment.
I feel bad for ZPar cause hes a great work ethic example and pillar to hold up for the Program but the injuries are tough when yhey stary compounding.
Suter is in the top 17 to 20ish maybe, kinda depends on how much effort he gives.
-
The Bruins are daily proof of evil in the world and are a terrible lesson of how cheating diving whining can be successful.
Also im sure they hate puppies and slaughter mini horses for pregame meals.

Pretty sure those comments will come out, no matter what Chaves does.
I would find it difficult at best to lay that at Chaves feet.
I dont associate him at all with the previous process, good or bad, even if he is the one who has to lead that horse behind the barn and put a bullet in the head to end it, I dont see that as a negative that can be straddled to his back.

Thank you,
Not having daily access to Chik-Fil-A I'm still enthralled at getting it when im in town.
I was very curious as to how it will wotk in Forks... Ive always been impressed with the service and quality of the food.. its almost impossible to choke down a chicken sanwich from anywhere in Bismarck after having chikfila. Also really like their grilled nuggets.

Suter is a top 5 defensemen in the league right now, and Parise is arguably the best player on our team when he is healthy. Those guys and their contracts aren't the problem. Trading away pics, many times first rounders, for players at the trade deadline that don't pan out and move on at the end of the year is our problem. Drafting players that don't fit the system of playing in the physical Western Conference that aren't build to win in the playoffs is the problem. Signing bad deals to average players is the problem. And the root of that problem was Chuck Fletcher. Wild need a rebuild. I think most Wild fans would take 2-3 years of missing the playoffs to eventually have a team that can contend for the Cup year in and year out as opposed to a team that is just good enough to llose 4-1 or 4-2 in the first round of the playoffs.
Suter and Parise as players are not the problem... the CONTRACTS are very much a problem and will be for some time yet.
I think the owner is 100% correct. The whole thing just needs new eyes, Its the best reasoning for a management change I've ever heard, its logical and it happened before the wheels fell off the bus so to say.

How is chick-Fil-A doing now that its been open a few months?
Is the quality staying up there, and is the demand still high? Is it on your normal rotation of go-to places?

I wont post the pics. but they can be found in old Dacotah yearbooks.
They are fascinating look into the history and traditions, good and bad that most people have no idea about these days.

Yeah, i agree it was pretty obvious why there wasn't a mascot in the modern day Sioux era. (other than the bleacher creature).
Of cringeworthy historical fact. Back in the day there was a Sammy Sioux mascot, it was quite inappropriate.... even for that time.
