I mean I love the Fighting Sioux nickname, and there is no way that the school will ever be able to replace the Fighting Sioux nickname with anything that I consider to be acceptable, but I don't see any way UND can keep the name "unless" the Spirit Lake Tribe wins it's law suit against the NCAA. I also would love nothing more than to see the NCAA lose their law suit, I think they deserved to have that happen to them because I think they are a bunch of hypocrites. I am not holding my breath but I hope the Tribe wins.
I like most people are not going to a football game between the University of Sioux Falls and UND. I will go to a game between a Big Sky Conference or Missouri Valley Conference team and UND.
That's because no matter what Hakstol and Company do it's never good enough for the Bring Blais back crowd. Listening to these people you would have thought UND is coached by a bunch of no talent hacks that have no clue with what they are doing.
Not even close, that's what the game would be. It would probably be a 10-0 game. Think about this the US Under 18 team which is more talented than the Bob Cats has trouble with the Sioux... I would tell these people they might want to re-think this.
The Russian Red Stars beat Army Last season 11-4. To call them weak competition is a little short sighted. Their team was basically just slapped together before they headed to the USA. Also, their junior league is a feeder league to the KHL.
