Is this all going on behind closed doors? The legislature's moratorium expires next year and there does not appear to be much going on in the news about the new name. In light of Kelly's reaction to the Gamma Phi sign, should we expect a lame weather related soccer-style name like Northern Lights?

There is a team in Montana called Northern Lights, MSU-Northern I believe.

So you're sayin' that Northern Lights is too good a name for Kelly & co to come up with. So maybe he will want it to be the UND Kelly Green. :D

Stanford used to be the Indians. They changed it to Cardinal, as in the color, not the bird. They're the Stanford Cardinal. Thusly, the University of North Dakota Emerald. That is the shade of green used, right? Could also implement the image of an emerald somehow. Before you jump all over me, I've been supportive of keeping the Fighting Sioux for years. Have been very supportive of the fight. I understand the emotions behind all of this. That's my penny's worth. I cheered for UND in the Frozen Four, and even had a small party with family to watch it.

The cheer would be "let's go Emerald," not the plural. I'm already ducking.

Keep it as it is now. Very Unique: no nickname and North Dakota as the logo. If the NCAA thinks North Dakota means allies or friends is offensive then ask Congress to change the state name. The fans can still yell LET'S GO SIOUX!

Is Dakota offensive to someone? What about Pontiac? Can we have anything? Change the state, change everything!

President Kelley is holding on line one for you...

Pontiac was an Indian chief. Good luck.... Then again he was Canadian I believe so you can bet your house the people of el forko grande would embrace it.

Real classy troll, real classy. And people wonder why Fargo is resented by people in other parts of the state.

Where is el forko grande? And why would a spanish/mexican/hispanic sounding town embrace Canadians so much?

Wow - really Pontiac was an indian chief - who knew - (except just about everyone) Guess that FU education is really coming in handy as a professional website troller. Can you check and see if there are any other car models named after native americans and report back - I'll give you head start - start with Jeep.
