Ok so you keep talking about how names are wrong and how leaders have said things are already changing. Just wondering how many of you would cheer for a new team because a playermoves on or because a coach switches teams.? I for one stay with the sioux. Funny thing is all I do is speak about the Sioux. People like Gene Roebuck are who I want to hear the ideas from. None not even alum. should have a say unless they have been following not only the sprots teams for many yeARS, BUT THE COLLEGE IT SELF AS WELL. In reality it should be the Native who get the choice and they have not gotton to speak if you remeber.

I wonder how many Sioux fans would care or even know who the school is after the Sioux are no morwe. You think the attendence at football games are low now; just wait until fans stop showing for hockey games. Don't think it will happon. Lets wait and see for future playoffs and national tornaments who shows up.

Why is everyone even talking about recuiting? We all know as the Sioux we will not get any recruites. The sioux will always get recruitwes as the sioux because students have grwon up seeing fans and hearing about the University. Not just because of the name issues. By the way he sounds like a good recruite if only we were able to recruit.

By the way. I recall four children cheering on the track for all the games for a few years before the Program raised prices for kids club and regular tickes. I was one of them. In the rain snow wind ; it did not mater. Did I know the players names no. I know the picture on the jursey and I was prode of it. Only other person I could say the same about is Sioux spirit man(What I called him when I was little) /pics32/640/KF/KFSCDDOAUSELMLE.20111128194149.JPG

I would agree that the Sioux would need to go if I knew I could have the tradition of rival games like NDSU, SOUTH DAKOTA AND MINN. again. I am not saying it must stay perminit; however, I am saying it would be nice to dedicate a game in each sport to The history having players wearing Sioux jerseys and pulling out old highligh videos of the sioux. For those who say it is the name that is stopping the rivals think again. The Sioux are just renewing the rival after how many years of having none. Name problem? I loved the Potato Bowl celerbration. How many alum were in Grand Forks for the bond fires where the engalsted is right now. Sorry to be making a big fuss about this, but if you are all going to say things like alum have more right, rivals will die, or it is just not worth the fight think again.

How many of you know players before they arrive at North Dakota. It is because they come here that you care. When you see a Sioux jersey do you see your face light up? I am in my first year of college and even know when I see people with sioux jersys on I say " Hey You are one of us. " I am very shy and have a small self asteem because of being bullied after moving to Wyoming when I was growing up. when I started to got to an away game each year( not in hockey) I would feel at ease and save. Not because I knew the people, but because I knew from a peaceful childhood in GrandForks it was safe. Again Is sportas that important or is the name that people like I see as family matter more.

Sorry Dale. Just wondering Did you beg your parents at 6 to See Dale get his face redone after the big Championship game. Did you go to the airport to met the team after every away game. Again people do not mater as much as the ideas they hold. Do you really think Luke Schleusner came back to the college because he knew players on the current team. Not he came back because of the tradition. Tradition believe it or not does die withevery change.

Jeff Panzer, Dean Blaise Jay Panzer Dave Lennon, Luke S. What do they all have in common? </u>They all are people I looked up to; however, they are all gone. People may play the game, but it is the name that has been here for a very long time. Ask anyone who watches sioux sports even those who don't and they can tell you who the Sioux are. Ask them who played for the sioux 8 years before and who scored to win games. No one will remember. Why should they. Fans go because they are a community built by the tradition. Tradition- A way of life supporting one another and knowing a face just by seeing the mascot. Tradition has nothing to do with how teams do. I have sioux posters and news papers from sioux games wins and losses from&nbsp; the last&nbsp;12-16 years. Not just sioux chapion newspapers. When you say alum mean more it is hard to amagion. Just because people went to a school does't make it who they are. Many people go for a degree. Not because it is all they have known. I stayed awake many nights lissoning to games on the radio, because my parents could not afford to buy tickets to games. In yet I I was the one that talked none stop about the sioux. I still do. In an interview for a National scholarship&nbsp; I said the University of North Dakota had been what/ who I looked up to. No not a person, but a university. The people who worked together throught the 97 flood and all the blizzerds.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>So is a person who plays four years more3 important then a group of people who work to egther. Dean Robuck and Dean Blaise were Sioux citizens for long periods of times. They and the people of North Dakota represent the university; not the students or even past students. Jeff Panzer is&nbsp;and will always&nbsp;have a influence on my life; however, nothing can top seeing sioux&nbsp;gerseys at a Wyoming cowboy football game when they are playing Coldorado state or even UNLV. So for those who want to ask What good a the Sioux without sports; I say memories, and a way of life. Don't worry there are people who love the Sioux more then because of sports. There has been great leaders that have done great things above sports. It is not a name; but a way of life. Sports are just sports.

I see no point why a degree should make or break someone's opinion. I grow up a Sioux fan and I am llaining on trasfering to UND in a year. Why should students like myself be left out when it is the students like my who go to the away games and stand cheering all game long. For anyone who saw the UND unc game tyhis fall should know who I am by the amount of cheering I was doing. Fans like myself live and die by the sioux tradition not by who we play and how well we do. By the way do any of you really think the university would recieve the support they have gotton without the tradition. It rises above the games and college itself. It is a national thing. The sioux is what bond kids and adualts together.

There has been alot of talk about rival games disapearing. My question is were are they now? We have Basketball starting up; however, the sioux are not playing minn in the near future south dakota is swiching to a totally different confrence and NDSU/UND football is no where in site. I say Play rival games as the sioux and start back the transition. Any more bumps will only make it harder.Do not say Montana can be our new rival befcause it will not happon. It will take years to get it to the same level as UND/ NDSU, UND/ MINN., AND UND/SOUTH DAKOTA. Think of all the tradition and fun we had in division two as the Sioux. I can not speak for everyone, but I can say that many of us would rather play division three teams then see the Sioux die. At least make law We are North Dakota with no future mascot. Not in a 4 years and not in 100.

Montana really. They play Montana state not North Dakota. Let us play our rivals and play for our great coaches Lennon and Robuck and then and only then take the name. We are North Dakota not NCAA slaves.

It is time? No way When I hear that Lennon and Robuck are back then maybe. I would say vivals for name; however, we are loosing a life dedicated coach and rivals. Minn is no were in site for hockey, South Dakot is moving to a new confrence, and knowing NDSU AND UND; its basketball rival is likely to fall. Football not going to happon. Why give in when we have lost so much as a athletic group alread? Give me the sioux coaches and rival games in which we continue to wear sioux jersey and take the name away.Oh and by the way the Hockey Arenea stays as it is!

I think we should move on as long as there is a agrement to play NDSU, South Dakota and Minn. long term. Iduring the games we play them The sioux jerseys come out and the sioux become the historical way of life if only once or twice each year for sport season.

Wow, It is really sad thaving heard Hakstal say what he said. He was the last person other then Robuck and Dean Blaise who I would have thought to hear that from. If only the deans would respond one way or the other. To tell you the trueth I like being called North Dakota. The Sioux banners/ pictures and sioux logo should always be hung in memory; however, it may... I can not believe I am saying this, but maybe it is time to move on. I wish with all my heart in to years when I transfer to UND the sioux in spirit will still live.

I don't care who we play as long as I can cheer GO SIOUX!!

Anything would be nice if we got the sioux. I loved the division two days oer our division one days anyway.

I have grown up a football and basketball fan and I too want the sioux to be born again.
