Colorado should currently have that mascot name

I live in wyoming, and working with a local radio station with mountain west coach interviews, I am really getting excited but sad it won't come faster.

I for one am looking forward to fall practice, as it will at least give us fans something to watch and talk about. Does everyone else love it, or is it not here until the first game. Maybe even the second game considering the first opponet. When does this football season start for real??

I agree keep Ralph as is and find a new /old home to play at. It was clear from Engalsted that he wanted the sioux or no building. We no longer will have the sioux so the building goes to. It belongs to the sioux history. It would keep the memories and dreams alive in Grand Forks.

I vote for something with weather involved. Blizards, flood gate, or moquetoes

In all reality students come and go, but the fans mainly stay for life. I believe that since the state got ride of the name and the idea that most people in Grand Forks live for the college it is only right that the people on Grand Forks get the vote. Having students vote is dumb since they leave and the name stays.

As much as I wanted to have a no vote, it has been showed that those in North Dakota are ready to move on. I was ready before, but the ups and downs make this change even harder. Does any one know when we are changing over. Also I think ALL fans should be able to vote on the name. (ALL FANS ON THE SIOUX WEBSITE IN NORTH DAKOTA OR NOT) What will be done with the championship banners are they switching them so the do not show the sioux on them?

Golphers here I come

undbiz how much do you stand and cheer for the team. Do you have a wall covered in articles of sioux sports news. WINS and Losses? I do so don't say I do not care, or that I am drunk.My dream growing up was to go to UND where I grew up.

I grow up with the sioux. I even had a principle who's son was on the team in 2001. I only wish that what gave me hope when I was being bullied in school would live forever. No the university did nothing for me, but the mascot kept me alive.

I don't drink, but I am sure you do. Most likely a gold and brown color.

tradition. What tadition do we have. WE need to get rid of the potato feed, home coming, and all hockey games.

Are you slow?? I remeber the decision was suppost to be over three years ago and people continued to say oh no don't get rid of it. Well I just hope teams are calling and saying sgn us up to play you in the coming years. MINN BETTER PLAY US 4 TIMES A YEAR. Football with ndsu starting this year right. Forget big sky. We were going to go with rival schools before we got kicked out. I think we lost more when we continued to fight a few years back then we will now.

If eveyone wanted the name gone then why did we not get rid of it 3 years ago?????

Life long fans who don't give up shoud have a right not those who are willing to give up the states history. The university was known for the Sioux no more. It will mean nothing without it. I see the recuiting class growing when the meaning of the recuites goes down.

Those who voted yes should have no say in the new mascot.

I wonder if we can vote for a new mascot. I mean those who voted no. Those who voted yes today will get their wish. Let us have ours.

Love the sioux. I have a bad feeling about this. I hope we as fans get to choose the new mascot in 100 years until then be north dakota and no more.

I agree. The Sioux has served us well, and I am will be proud to say I live for UND sports no mater what. May the people of North Dakota live with honor for the Sioux forever no mater what!

I would really like to see und get out the big sky and get a second shot with ndsu/south dakota confrence with the loss of the sioux.

What is not close? Just wait

Heading into the bigsky what would be considered a good season. What team would you enjoy seeing a win against the most if you had the choice.

People on here keep bringing up articles and ideas that the Sioux need to go. My question to you is why. Most fans go to high school games not because their team plays the best in the state every week, but because they love their team in general. In the same idea don't you think we would be happier seeing the Sioux on the jerseys and cheering go Sioux more then what teams we play. I for one love calling out and the home of the Sioux at every event no mater where it is at with or with out Sioux sports present.Is money really that important?

no 4 und

Most athlets do not live for the sioux. Most would play for someone else if they did not get a spot in grand forks. Most sioux fans are fans for life for or against the continuation of thename. Let the people vote.
