From what I hear around campus, a lot of students are pulling for 1) "Fighting Sioux/Sioux" (Even though they realize it's a futile effort) 2) "Tribe," which I like and in fact submitted. To say Tribe is strictly related to "Sioux" or any other Native American nickname/logo is a stretch. Tribe can mean any group of people, including the entirety of the University of North Dakota. Simple Google dictionary definition defines tribe as "communities linked by social, economic, religious, or blood ties, with a common culture and dialect" I would understand if they didn't want to have any feathers or anything of the like on the logo because it would obviously be relating to the Fighting Sioux....but whatever....that's the NCAA I suppose. I also submitted (As my joke/throw away submission) Fighting Irish; my rationale being: "If Notre Dame can get away with it for 88 years, why can't we?", hope they at least get a laugh out of it.
