I am glad that he is going to play for UND. Couldn't be more excited.

Hey I am not unhappy about it at all, I think it's awesome, I heard it from a Hockey dad that was sitting at the table and heard the comment from said parent. So things change. I had also heard the same thing from other people around town. It's a great pick up for UND.

If this lawsuit goes to court it's going to get ugly, some buffoon over on the herald site already blame the REA for this.

I was wondering about that, look I am not happy about losing the Fighting Sioux nickname but it's appears that it's time to move on, we can't win this... Even if Spirit Lake sues the NCAA I can't see this changing, they aren't going to back off their stance... What's to stop the Big Sky Conference from pulling the conference affliation? All of the lawyers on site said that there is no way UND can win this. I wonder if the NDSBoHE will just go ahead and retire the name.

Yes it was... I will post it so you guys can take a look at it. @hammyhockey

Here are a couple of stories of interest. The Next Little Big Horn: Black Cloud Says NCAA’s Actions Discriminatory Against Spirit Lake Sioux. Carlson Says “The Battle Is Not Over Yet” on Fighting Sioux Nickname.

That's why we have to watch these people like a hawk and make sure we don't end up with some stupid name few can rally around.

Just for the record B.R.I.D.G.E.S is the organization that in the past has promoted Sun Dogs for a replacement nickname.

I really like that Idea if UND can get away with it.

Come on!!! That's ridiculous, statements like that are unacceptable. We shouldn't pull any funding for NA programs.

I am sorry but I found that comment to be very funny.

I think that is well said.

No one said I hated Kelley, I am not impressed how he has dealt with this issue. No one said hate.

I am not sure how he can call it a cheap shot, it's apparent from reading the blog post that he was very excited.

Go back and read what he wrote you can feel the excitement in his letter. He had no intention of supporting the nickname.

you can read the glee in his voice as his fingers danced across his key board, he probably soiled himself...

They know a money maker when they see one...

Brad has said that he isn't coming, might be a clearing house issue.

How about Sharp Tails?

This is why we need to get out on the fore front and head this off...

I honestly think that the nickname opponents should have no role in selecting the next nickname and why should they? They got what they wanted so it

So how long do you think it will take before you're suspended again?

According to Say Anything Blog...

I think the blame should go to the Political Leaders. I don't blame the Native Americans.

I think the nick name North Dakota would be just fine.
