It is a shame that people donated money to this lawsuit. I really hope that the people who brought this lawsuit about pay these people back when it gets thrown out. Pathetic!! -
Surreal day and week for all of us. Let's see how the Siouxsports community voted. I voted Roughriders
-
So why all this now? Where was this lawsuit when the first committee was formed at the beginning of the year? They say in the article they want North Dakota back on the ballot. The true motives are known here. If the North Dakota option was on the ballot would this lawsuit exist?

UND has been in the process of selecting a new name for months now. Several committees have been formed. Names have been submitted and narrowd down. Coutnless articles written about how UND is in the process of selecting a new name. One would think that if they were in violation of any laws, that one person from the ND state legislature would say something?

Does USC or any of the several other NCAA schools that use Trojans have this problem? How many high school teams have Trojans as their nickname. Are they dealing with people throwing condoms on the playing field? What about Red River? Have you ever heard of a story where condoms were thrown out by opposing fans? Sure there is potential to happen, but the likelihood of it happening is pretty low. Heck, does anyone even throw stuff on the field/ice/court anymore? Not too common at sporting events.

So let's fast foward to, let's just say, the year 2022. The new name and logo have been in place for several years. Every current student athlete will have only played under the new name. Teams will be wearing jerseys with the new name and logo. The Alerus, the Betty, and yes even the Ralph will have the new name and logo displayed prominently. You are telling me that you are still going to continue to wear your outdated Sioux jersey and yell a retired name even though many will be cheering and displaying the name and logo of the ACTUAL nickname for UND?

University of North Dakota Golden Calves!! Is it too late to start a go fund me account to bring a lawsuit to get that on the ballot?!!
-
As much as you are trying to be funny, this is the reason the majority of people support the "no nickname" option. Look at the pictures from rally to support the North Dakota option...the was wearing a Sioux hockey jersey!! Groups like The Sioux Were Silenced are in support of the no nickname option. What does that tell you? So as much as you laugh and make fun of everyone else labeling "no nickname" supporters as "Sioux forever" supporters, the fact is that it is true for the majority.
-
With all the recent Kelley bashing and all the noise groups like "The Sioux Were Silenced" and others have made regarding the settlemet agreement UND made with the NCAA, These are the facts the either have forgotten, or choose to ignore. They claim that UND was in favor of getting rid of the nickname from the beginning yet they forget that UND sued the NCAA over making them get tribal approval. This process has been going on for so long, that many often forget what was done by UND in order to keep the nickname. The settlement was the best option for UND to keep the name and was the best possible deal Stenehjem could hope for.

Vote on your final 5 nickname choices (just ND is out)

http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/education/3860449-about-82000-people-could-vote-und-nickname Will be interesting to see how many of the 80,000+ people will actually vote. -
We already have "Cowboy Guy" running around the field with his hat and boots waiving the flag. Not much needs to change except making him the official mascot of UND. Hey, we could have our own version of Ragnar!!!

Vote on your final 5 nickname choices (just ND is out)
Siouxperfan7 replied to jimdahl's topic in UND Nickname
Say "University of North Dakota" then add each one of the 5 finalists and say it out loud. Imagine hearing each name over the loud speaker at games. Practice yelling "Let's go _______" for each name. This is going to be a name that we will have for the rest of our lives. What name do you want to hear and say at games. It is amazing how dumb some of the finalist sound when you do this. -
Vote on your final 5 nickname choices (just ND is out)
Siouxperfan7 replied to jimdahl's topic in UND Nickname
My early prediction for the vote Roughriders - 34% Nodaks - 28% Fighting Hawks - 22% North Stars - 10% Sundogs - 6% -
Both are equally awful.

NORTH DAKOTA vs. Lake Superior State - Friday Gameday

Fire Berry!!! -
If UND has a new nickname and people chant "Sioux" and wear Siouw apparel, yes you are correct. If UND does not have new nickname, the NCAA can easily say that UND did not do a good enough job retiring the old nickname. They can bring up complaints by other schools saying the same thing as well that not having a new name allows the old name to stay around. If you think that the NCAA doesn't care about "lil old UND, that small school in North Dakota" than you are absolutely delusional. Look at what happened 10 myears ago.

Looks like Tom spent a little to much time sniffing the newspaper ink last night!!

The NCAA has said that that UND is in compliance with the settlement. This is true. Saying that a private organization has the ability to make up new rules (which was granted to them) that pertain to memebr institutions is not fear mongering. It is fact. plain and simple. I am not saying that the NCAA is going to bring the hammer down on UND, but they aren't going to let them get away with anything. The NCAA has stated they are fine with UND for not having a nickname and remaining "North Dakota". But they said there will be issues if problems arise from not having a nickname, like complaints from other schools. Now of course this sounds just ridiculous that opposing fans would have a problem with us not having a new nickname and hearing chants and seeing clothing that has the Sioux logo on it. But what part of this process hasn't been beyond ridiculous!! The committee decided and Kelley confirmed that playing it safe and not going with the no nickname option was going to result in the best possible outcome for the future of UND and its athletic programs. You may want to fight the NCAA for another decade. But, UND absolutely does not.
-
Very well put. Also, not a bad connection that Teddy arrived in North Dakota the year UND's inception.
-
Why? Because it has the word "fighting" in it? Probably a loose tie at best. Correct me if I am wrong, but the "Fighting" part of Fighting Sioux wasn't officially part of the name for very long. I feel like it was added in the 90's. I get the want and need to tie the name to the old name, but choosing a generic name like Hawks because it has the word fighting in front of it is a stretch.

http://www.undsports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=13500&ATCLID=210400096 "Defensively, the Bengals are tops in the Big Sky in pass defense, allowing only 131.4 ypg through the air, but have struggled on the other spectrum, yielding a league-worst 333.8 ypg on the ground. The unit is giving up 44.8 ppg, which is also worst among league teams. In last Saturday’s 58-26 loss at Cal Poly, the Mustangs’ triple option racked up 499 yards rushing." To quote the Sheryl Crow song...."Run baby run baby run baby run baby run"

Probably the best case for what to vote for that I have seen!!
-
Good to see the student section will be sold out!!
-
Time for the Alerus to prove what they claim on the outside of the building!!

I think Portland State saw film of our first 4 games I would see that the pass game is definitely not our strength and that we would be focusing hard on the run game. Doubt they had much respect for our pass game either and were more than likely keying in on the run. But funny, we ran for 260 yards. Who ever said that you had to have a prolific passing attach to win games? If you can run the ball with success, eat clock, and score....that is going to win games for you.
