Oxbow6 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 It makes me sick knowing sundogs will more than likely be in the top 5 list. If you are a former or current athlete that wore "Sioux" across your jersey at some point and you are now on this committee how do you even allow this as a potential option?!?!?!

undfanmike Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I think most of us can agree that nearly all UND supporters would choose to retain the Fighting Sioux name. But, as this week's Big Sky warning letter indicates, baring an unlikely reversal at Standing Rock, we likely won't have that option without repercussions from the Big Sky Conference as well as the NCAA and other universities. We are now potentially facing being expelled from the BSC if we persist, which would be the deathblow for UND sports other than hockey. Now, we can sit back and let others choose our new name, or we can take the offensive and help take charge of our future. What name do we prefer? How about changing the name to the "Fighting Chippewa"? Keep the Picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redneksioux Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 There's less chance of that than Cavalry. Spot on. The turtle mountain tribe for the most part was against und using the nickname. You will find very little support up there, other than mr brien. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GDPritch Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Cavalry? I like Predators as the meaning is two-fold; it has tie-in with UAVs and GFAFB mission/UND aviation AND Predators, like Fighting Sioux, obviously trumps Bizon. My other like is Flyers (obvious reason why), which I think tops Aviators and Pilots. I still like Badlands too (hey, you got the CO Rockies) and Oilers too.

Siouxperfan7 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/education/3644760-nickname-task-force-extends-deadline The interesting quote in this article is.. "Depending on how many names the committee is able to eliminate, another round or two of voting could occur before the committee chooses the permanent name from a list of no more than five possibilities. The group will take the public's ranking of those five possibilities into account." I sure hope they take them into consideration. You would think that if there was an overwhelming majority for 1 name that they would pick one. I really hope that all of us as "stakeholders" can rally around 1 name so their will be no doubt to this committee what name should be selected.

Redneksioux Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/education/3647228-und-puts-thousands-dollars-nickname-task-force That is one expensive consultant charging $15,000 for one extra day of work and one extra meeting.
