I am going to have to say that while I am not happy with the change, I am going to say that I am getting to where Sicakota is with his statement. I will still be a fan of the Sioux no matter what. I don't think we have to worry about them being the Flickertails either...

I don't know if that would actually happen because a lot of Sioux fans know the political forces behind changing the name are unstopable. We are powerless short of taking the NCAA back to court again and getting the policy ruled unconstitutional there is NOTHING we can do about the name changing. It would probably take a intervention from the congress or some court to stop this.

I think they can make a bowl game this season but I guess it doesn't hurt to dream about the Gophers winning the Big Ten and making the Rose Bowl. I think I heard Brewster predict that they could do it...

When did I ever say I didn't like Sioux football? Now your putting words in my mouth. I said I also like the Gopher and they would beat the Sioux handedly this season. I am thinking you have a reading compehension problem. Where is it written that I can't like Sioux hockey and Football and also cheer for the Gopher football team? Is there some rule written somewhere? I guess I didn't get the memo if there is. They aren't in the same league the Sioux are FCS IAA and the Gophers are Divsion 1A (isn't that BCS?) not really even technically rivals.

I would have to say that these guys have been give a pretty good chance to perform of the two I think Martens ads more to the mix.

Go ahead and sell one of us your season tickets to hockey. Someone will gladly take them off your hands.

Just for the record I have met a good number of NDSU fans that cheer for the Bison in Football but love Sioux hockey so it doesn't seem that much of a stretch.

Hold on now, I actually like the Gopher football team, I have for many years. Long before I ever came to UND. So I am not sure that label the biggest Sioux Homer applies in the case for college football. I have always been on record as hating the Gopher hockey team but loving their football team.

I am going to have to go with Sioux-cia on this one. I am going to cheer for the Sioux if they become the fighting Norse...

I am thinking his toughness will be an assest. I can see some Juniors sitting on the pine in favor of freshman if they don't start producing some goals.

Cool...

Well we will put you on record as saying it will happen. Time will I guess.

I am seeing a lot of double talk in this article so you wonder what is the REAL line.

Ok, make that "SLIM" then. The Gophers have basically said they don't want to play the FCS/Division 1AA teams anymore, I don't know if you remember that being discussed in the media. Lastly I have watched 3/4 of Minneotas games this season and they are not the same team that got beat by the Bison. After watching YSU run over the Bison I don't think Minnesota would love to either the Bison or the Sioux IMHO...

I think we would have have a chance in Division one Basketball, after what 3-1/2 to 4 years maybe in football. NDSU found out how hard it is to beat a top opponent.

I guess they could use those big pay days to pay for the logo removal...

What we are really back to is the football again and we are willing to give up the name in hopes of getting a game against Wisconsin, Iowa or Minnesota. Now mind you the chances of playing these teams is probably slim and none... That is the way I see it. I am not trying to pick a fight with anyone but that is what it appears is going on. The Univeristy is strapped for cash and hopes it will get a big pay day by getting shelled by one of these teams in a pre-season game.

All I know is that I read the settlement a few times and never saw anything that suggested that UND can just be North Dakota...

Nice to see that the Grand Forks Herald is on board to call for the end of the logo. Big shock there...

Apparently the school/University won't do it because they want Basketball and Football to host playoffs at home.

Really, I don't remember reading that language as part of the settlement.

Really that would make sense on why they are in such a hurry to get this done. Maybe we need to wait and see how the election goes.

I am with you brother.

I know they don't have to remove historical logos but it would appear that all the ones on the end of the rows as well as the ones posted around the building will have to go. I think the pro-name change people should buck up and make donations to the 1 milllion dollar fund. Also, I think that this issue will be worked out in the end. Heck the state has a huge surplus maybe they should foot the bill since the Arena benifits a big portion of the state of ND. Fact fact the REA isn't going away and they would be stupid to just sit empty. I can't speak for anyone else but you didn't piss me off.
