Fetch Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 I use BLU - emu but don't want it as a nickname Quote
zonadub Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 I use BLU - emu but don't want it as a nickname So, you are an Eastern Michigan fan, Fetch? ? Quote
DamStrait Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 I always though Eastern's mascot should be ... ... an emu ... Eastern Michigan University ... EMU ... So are you suggesting that UND be the "German Conjunctions"? Quote
The Sicatoka Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 So are you suggesting that UND be the "German Conjunctions"? "Verbindung Kreuzung, was ist Ihre Funktion? Ich habe UND, aber, UND oder." Always love it when German speakers see a UND sweatshirt: "UND? Und was?" Quote
ericpnelson Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 If we are going German, I'll name the team after the Schmaltz's if we win it all this year Quote
siouxfanofcourse Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Fighting Fleishkeuchla!! Damn, now I'm getting hungry. Quote

The Sicatoka Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 The Flying Messerschmitts The Fighting Panzers (assuming Jeff, Jay, et al agree). 1 Quote
The Sicatoka Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Dos is nic goodt Dein Deutsch ist nicht gut. Quote
siouxjoy Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Damn, now I'm getting hungry. How about some kuchen and knoephla to go with it? Quote
Oxbow6 Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 How about some kuchen and knoephla to go with it? Very few things in life satisfy and bring joy like peach kuchen! Quote
JohnboyND7 Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Fighting Fleishkeuchla!! Or my personal favorite German food, "die Schwarzwälder Kirschtorten!" Quote
Fetch Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 I had strawberry rhubarb kuchen today & it was fantastic Quote
Siouxphan27 Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 I would have to side with a Norwegian food/name: Fighting Potato Klubbers!!! Quote
niouxsiouxfan Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Is it possible to be just SIOUX? Why not communicate with both tribes and ask to honor the history and heritage of the state? Offer scholarships to academically eligible native students. (Not as payoff, but as way to show gratitude and willingness to work with the tribal members) Before every home game, or halftime, use time to talk of the history of the state and tribes. Also instruct students, and community what is acceptable in display of team pride. I dont want anything like FSU. Use the name to educate. Occasionally, maybe homecoming, few hockey, basketball, and other games, allow tribes to be showcased. Let them choose how/what they want to display. How could the NCAA deny that? Maybe its absolutely impossible, and I'm sure someone will educate me here. But, if its important to majority to keep name in some way, there should be way to get it done. Quote

The NCAA gave us a timeline to get approval from BOTH tribes and only one gave its blessing. UND can never have a NA nickname again. Quote
Hayduke Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Very few things in life satisfy and bring joy like peach kuchen! Oddly, my favorite is prune. My family background is a little German, but Scotch and Norwegian for the most part. If we were to use a food name, I'd go with a German dish. Sorry, but lutefisk and haggis just destroys any credibility for Norske and Scotch food for me... Quote
