It makes a hell of a lot of difference. The Fighting Sioux is a team name we don't have a mascot, I don't know how many times we have to say this but some seem to be more dense than others. If UND had a mascot; we would have a guy dressed as an indian riding a horse out on to the ice or field and throwing a flaming spear into the center of ice or field/turf. There is no such thing in North Dakota. Like I mentioned earlier some of these hand wringing liberals have a hard time with common english.
