MafiaMan Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I think the changes I made to your post above are perfect. I don't know how RHHiT can even say that with a straight face. It's an "honor" to be called a "Rough Rider" and be recognized for your courage and bravery but an insult to be called "Fighting Sioux" and be recognized for your courage and bravery. HUH? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonadub Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Folks, we've already been given clearance from a mouth piece of the opponents. Remember this? That was published in the GF Herald Wednesday, November 28, 2007. Rough Riders would be infinitely better than the PC-driven weather phenomena/soccer name that the kelly group will more than likely come up with.

Emerald joker Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I think Roughriders or Oilers would make the most sense and be accepted by most people. I could live with Rough Riders, but i would still chant "LETS GO SIOUX"!!!!!!!!!! And still say home of the SIOUX!!!!!!! What's that saying we have around here "Once a Sioux Always a Sioux," i think that can count for a whole team too!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightingsioux4life Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Only if Red River HS voted yes Really? So we are going to give a local HS veto power in this? Sorry, but I don't think so. Like I have said before, if we start with the premise that we have to use a name nobody else is using, we will get nowhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightingsioux4life Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I'm pretty sure Fetch was being facetious. He should have used a to indicate that. Without that it's hard to tell sometimes. But I think you are right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Even though there are some other teams with the name Roughriders, I still think it is the best fit for UND and UND is the best fit for that particular name. I went to RRHS and it wouldn't bother me one bit. I'm more "loyal" to my university than my high school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hayduke Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Got back from San Diego. Went to Del Mar Horse Track for a couple of races and to see the band "The Cult". Decided to bet on first race when I got there.... Check out the name of the horse. (He lost..but it was worth it just for the ticket...) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 No Thanks. If you want to go that route, I'm sure USC is thinking about a name change.... or Bemidji State... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siouxphan27 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 The difference is those words/names evolved new meanings after they were chosen as nicknames. No one would even consider Trojans or beavers as a new nickname now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Boy Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Good concert. They still got it. Dig the Cult. "Electric" album was out of the park coolness. Would very much enjoy seeing them live. Del Mar is a nice area too. Good times I bet. taz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
