bigskyvikes Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Keep getting all these eastsiders,(which is great), they should be called the UND Greenwave!? Quote
nosidel Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 My, you are naive, aren't you, Pollyanna? No, that's not naïve at all. It really isn't necessary to yell insults at a sport event. That doesn't mean I expect it to stop. Quote
nosidel Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Sodbusters and Goat ropers are not the same. Duh. And your point is? Quote
nosidel Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 It might be a bit hypocritical to continue yelling "Sioux suck" or "Sioux suck sh*t" to make fun of UND's old nickname too. I guarantee that that will go on for years though. That would only be hypocritical for those who have complained about UND's use of that nickname. For anyone else it's merely rude and offensive.

nosidel Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 We call NDSU "Aggies" because, well, the official name of the school is North Dakota State University of Agriculture and Applied Science. Aggies. Your old name. And you'll call us Flickertails ... hopefully because it's just our old, old name. Hmmm, I've never actually heard anyone call NDSU "Aggies." Not sure what your point is. Quote
Teeder11 Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 No, that's not naïve at all. It really isn't necessary to yell insults at a sport event. That doesn't mean I expect it to stop.Let me slow it down for you. The nastiness and hypocrisy associated with the UND-NDSU rivalry is not an anomaly in the world of college athletics. It is the norm in all great rivalries. That does not make it right. That is just the way it is. To wish that it should just go poof and be gone is one's prerogative but it is pretty naive, too. And to highlight a hypocrisy on one side while dismissing or ignoring one on the other is not just hypocritical, it is also disingenuous. This is fun! Quote
Teeder11 Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Hmmm, I've never actually heard anyone call NDSU "Aggies." Not sure what your point is. This must be your first time on SiouxSports, then. Wow! You've been busy today-- over 200 posts!!!! Quote

The Sicatoka Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Hmmm, I've never actually heard anyone call NDSU "Aggies." Not sure what your point is. Yeah, it's sourced from Wikipedia, but surely the NDSU FB zealots keep it accurate: The Bison fielded their first team in 1894 and were originally known as the NDAC Farmers. From the early 1900s to 1921, the North Dakota Agricultural College (Later renamed North Dakota State University) mascot was the Aggies.

MafiaMan Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 That would only be hypocritical for those who have complained about UND's use of that nickname. For anyone else it's merely rude and offensive. I think it's hypocritical to think of yourself (not you personally) as a "good" fan, yet yell that kind of drivel at a football or basketball game against any opponent, not just UND. Quote

If that company has assisted in such matters in the past they probably clued UND in on such an approach and it's wisdom and benefits. Ergo, UND wouldn't own the names he and CT Marhula are asking about anyway. Nothing for a FOIA request to find. Quote

Somebody just has to try and scoop every step of the process. Anybody can do a WHOIS look-up, and spin any number of conspiracy theories about who is registering what and when. My advice to them, www.getalife.com. And if that one's taken, try www.getalifesports.com, www.UNDgetalife.com, www.getalife.net, www.getalife.us, or if all else fails, www.foffanddie.com. 4 Quote
Emerald joker Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 I don't agree that hypocrisy and hateful language is a mutual part of any great rivalry. Certainly not a necessary part. I think we found the new DaveK 1 Quote
CMSioux Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Hmmm, I've never actually heard anyone call NDSU "Aggies." Not sure what your point is. Don't you have some corn to plant or some sheep to round up (see what I did there.) Quote
niouxsiouxfan Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 Don't you have some corn to plant or some sheep to round up (see what I did there.) Cows to tip... More? This has been a great diversion from the norm. Please continue... Quote
Hayduke Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 We call NDSU "Aggies" because, well, the official name of the school is North Dakota State University of Agriculture and Applied Science. Aggies. Your old name. And you'll call us Flickertails ... hopefully because it's just our old, old name. What makes me laugh is that Colorado State University students embrace the old name "Aggies". Even though they are the Rams now, the kids there totally dig the name "Aggies". The crowd, a lot of students there, love wearing the Aggies shirts with those fugly orange and green colors. It's part of their heritage. But at Fargo, they hate that name. It's probably because of low self-esteem. They hate their history and wish people would forget. They got issues.. Myself, I wouldn't mind being the Flickertails again. Why not? I'm proud of UND's heritage and tradition. Unlike those self-loathing folks at the College of Home Economics... Quote

SIOUXFAN97 Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 assuming that und's new nickname is somewhere on this list then? Quote
jimdahl Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 From the herald article on domain names...This isn't quite the case with flickertails.com, Riedy said, which redirects to undsports.com. While it was originally assumed the university owned the name, Reidy said whoever owns it purchased it in August 2014 and remains anonymous. As I said, anyone who owns a domain can make it redirect to a different site. Doesn't mean UND owns the name, doesn't mean UND doesn't. Quote
nosidel Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Yeah, it's sourced from Wikipedia, but surely the NDSU FB zealots keep it accurate: Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Dakota_State_Bison_football Learn your school's history lad. I am quite aware of the history of the school. What I said is the I've never heard anyone call them that...present tense. You can call NDSU the Aggies all you want. No one's going to get excited about it. Now, if UND proposed changing their name to Aggies that would be a bit different. Quote

Who said NDSU hates being called the Aggies? UND's 100 year history of farming jeers and taunts reflect badly on UND, not on NDSU. You call NDSU what you want. You're the ones who look bad. Quote
jdub27 Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Who said NDSU hates being called the Aggies? UND's 100 year history of farming jeers and taunts reflect badly on UND, not on NDSU. You call NDSU what you want. You're the ones who look bad. So using that same logic, NDSU should be incredibly ashamed for all the Sioux jeers and taunts? Good thing they quit doing it when UND dropped the nickname...oh wait. Quote
