...So once again, everyone can still see the bashing at me but I don't have the opportunity to apologize for my actions. Seems pretty biased to me.

You are right, this is really unfair to you. Everyone should have the opportunity to hear what you have to say in a public forum...kinda like the wisdom you shared on the radio... :glare:

People seem to get more upset over the what they know is the truth than what is not the truth, e.g. Kristo..

Actually people get more upset when someone who doesn't know sh^t about anything lies about every single subject they comment on.

People get more upset at big fat liars than anything else.

Fighting Sioux Logo Designer Sad To See It Retired

But now the popular logo, which can be seen outside and inside the Ralph Englestad arena, on clothing, and around the campus, will be retired. Brien says the retirement of the nickname and logo will hurt Native students the most, and he was upset to hear that it would go.

"I was kind of shocked I guess, or kind of sad or whatever. I don't know, I liked it. A lot of people I know liked it," said Brien.

Brien says the worst part of the controversy surrounding the nickname and logo was the fighting it caused. He says he hopes some good will come out of the retirement, and that Native students can continue to get a good education at UND. And as far as a new logo...

"I really don't know what they're going to do, but I'd like a shot at maybe designing the next one!" said Brien.

Both Bennett Brien and his father graduated from UND, and Brien's son is a student there now.

The drunkhockeyguy fiasco on PAs show today got me thinking, why all the hate?

Because the Sioux are consistently one of the nations best teams? Jealousy is an angry animal.

Because none of the other guys can get those 26 year old Canadian recruits? ;)

Because we won't give up on the BEST nickname and logo in all of sports!

Because NHL gms and coaches have nothing but high praise for the program? There's that jealousy thing again.

Or simply in today's world of twits and blogs and Internet anonymity... Haters gonna hate?

Thoughts? Go Sioux!!!

All of the above!

Likely his venom is due to the lack of anything of interest happening at the farm school to our south. I mean, geez, the loss to Kansas was over two years ago,

what is there to do but attempt to rain on our parade. Did you see what he just suggested regarding Chapman, he has to be mental....

The "hate" is based on others being jealous. Jealous of our arena, tradition, team performance and fan support.

On the flip side, you may have noticed that there are not a lot of people "hating" on Michigan Tech.

Yes, I'd say most of the bashing is a direct result of other schools' and their fans' jealousy.

Also, just as an aside, my enjoyment of SiouxSports has returned: I finally figured out how to "ignore" a couple posters! :D

I like the Sioux bashing. Those haters can hate all they want. They are the same fans that left with their tails between their legs after the Final Five the last two years.

We don't even play NDSU in hockey, and yet we have NDSU fans in the hockey forum trying to stir things up.

They've got nothing else going on in their lives worthwhile....they may as well come in here and try and piss people off to give themselves something to do. :lol:

A guy can only play X-Box, eat Cheetos, drink Grain Belt and watch porn for so long in one day!

Well, we know you to be a consummate douche yet we're not upset about that. What's your point?

See there is your blind hate coming through again against someone who does not think like you. Not upset about it? Then why the comment?
