Rumblings from the tribe and also from the NCAA. They could change their policy for schools with tribal approval and get rid of all native american names!! Which is precisely why we need to retire the name at UND now. We have no idea what the NCAA will do in the future in regards to native american names. Just add that to the ever growing list of "reasons to vote YES on June 12th."

Very interesting!! Let's just hope that UND's new mascot will not be inspired by the Disney Channel!!

NCHC tournament at the Target Center and the Big10 tournament at the Xcel every other year..holy hockey playoff hotbed in MSP!!!

Other measures can be discussed on other threads. I would like to keep this debate and poll to Measure 4 only. Thanks.

Just curious to see how those on Siouxsports.com are going to vote on Measure 4 on June 12th.

I would much rather have black jerseys than those awful mustard colored ones the Bison have, those are hideous!!

The black jerseys look fine for basketball, volleyball, baseball, softball and hockey....SO I think that they would work for football. Black is one of our colors. Not primary, but still one of the colors.

Steve Johnson a possiblilty??

We don't agree with the NCAA policy. We are not on the PC side. We are on the rational, logical, and educated side of those that realize the consequences of keeping the name. Everyone on this site loves the nickname and wanted to keep it. But not at the expense of killing the athletic department.

Mankato, Augustana, and Morningside

Dave, do you not understand that virtually everyone who posts on this site thinks the Fighting Sioux logo is not "hostile and abusive" or racist. I don't think any of us agree with the opinions of the NCAA in regards to native american names. We all love the Fighting Sioux logo and all that it stands for. But there come s a point where you have to put other things ahead of your own desires. So I want to keep the Sioux name, of course. Do I want to keep the name and sacrifice the well bing of the University and its athletic department, absolutely not. You need to maybe put your selfish desires aside and not do what you want to do, but do what you know is right. The majority of the people on here have done that. It is time for you to do that as well.

Predictable response from the man who has completely lost touch with reality!!

Wait...are you saying all these schools are going to move up to FBS??? And they are to pay for that how?? Even NDSU which probably has one of the largest FCS football fan bases would not be able to afford that, let alone these South Dakota schools!! And Neb Omaha is dropping football, so not sure why you put them in there.

Does someone one here know what the new jerseys look like (if they are getting new jerseys)? If so, what's the hold up on sharing the information with everyone? Don't be that guy!!

What is crazy is we play them back to back for the next 4 years!! 2013 there is a bye week between games, but that is still pretty crazy how the scheduling worked out that way!!

I don't think I would consider a state with low crime, a budget surplus, and the lowest unemployment in the country the "worst place on earth,"....but that's just me.

II was just wondering if they are going to wait until they get the entire 20 million before they put a shovel in the ground. I guess I am just anxious for an announcement from UND that construction will begin.

So does anyone know how much money they have raised so far for the IPF? Wondering how much of the 20 miiion they want raised before they start building.

I was very happy to see our QB's and WR's play very well. Should be an exciting year offensively. One thing that definitely does need improvement is our secondary. Many receivers were wide open. If we can get the secondary issues fixed by next year, we should have a very good an entertaining team next fall!

Currently, NDSU has 3 games scheduled for their 2014 schedule. UND a lot of their schedule for 2014 figured out, but they still have open dates. Neither NDSU or UND have games scheduled for Sept. 13th or Sept. 20th in 2014. Can the AD's from both schools just do what the entire state wants them to do and schedule the long anticipated game between UND and NDSU on one of these dates? I can't be the only one to notice that these dates are open for both schools. I would hope Taylor and Faison have seen these dates open for both schools as well. I hope that the game can be scheduled. Sooner rather than later. Its been almost 10 years since this game has been played. Its time. These dates are the next available option I can see. Let get this game scheduled!!!

I sent an email to Brian Faison yesterday asking him about why there is not a logo at midfield and here was his response: As a part of the naming agreement for the facility, Alerus Financial retains the mid-field area for their logo. Brian So it sound like any concerns you have concerning your dissatisfaction with the new turf design should be directed at the Alerus Center. Makes sense I guess. Whoever has the naming rights to the turf decides what goes on the turf. Gate City Bank bought the naming rights to the turf in the Fargodome, but they decided to put the Bison logo in the middle of the fieldd as well as their Gate City Bank logo. Seems that the Alerus Center could have done this also but chose not to.

When the Gophers were playing at the Metrodome, they were able to remove pait and logos from the endzones and such between Gopher and Viking logos. I an wondering if the same thing could be done at the Alerus. Pait on the interlocking ND and then if/when we get a new name and logo, put that one on there.

Even if we were going to be called the Sioux forever, the interlocking ND logo would be more appropriate for the football turf anyway.

Makes absolutely no sense why the interlocking ND logo would not be at midfield. ZERO!! This better not be the final version!!

If we truly want to expose College hockey on a "National" level (at least for the teams in the NCHC) I think that Nebraska is the last place you would want to have the tournament. We want to have the tournament in a place that people not only can get to, but want to go to. That is what makes the Final 5 so great. St. Paul/Minneapolis is a good destination location. Omaha I am sure is great, but I don't see too many fans getting overly excited about going there. I would love to see the NCHC to rotate the tournament with the X and the United Center in Chicago!! If I am going to travel 8-12 hours to see hockey, I would much rather be in Chicago over Omaha. Chicago is a great city that people would deffinitely come to. Might even pick up some locals that would come check it out.
